CHAOS (C.S.)
Only chaos
only empty days
only thin-skin
only tension
only make-no-sense
Only dizzy
only in a blur
only longing
only low
only disappointed, now
All of a sudden it’s over
I’m a flower in the snow
I think i’m going nowhere
I don’t fit in right now
Only leaving
only moving on
only missing
only scared
only disappeared
LEAVE IT AT THAT (M: IL.S. / C.S, L: C.S.)
Make a mess
make all the people
that you know
feel embarrassed
Break the spell
touch the surface
end the silence
when you tell them
Can you listen, can you feel?
you spend so much time
in this café
Do you know anyone for real?
you spend so much time
on hey, hey, hey
Make a scene
steal the punch line
conclude
with the beginning
Leave them flat
leave a lot of questions
when you leave
leave it at that
PUT-ON-SMILE
I’m not in the sky
I’m not on solid ground
I cannot lie
but I know how to pretend
I’m not in the mood
don’t feel like jumping for joy
though I should
be happier than medium okay
When my put-on-smile is gone
I am weak
when you think i am strong
I am no better
than the weakest one
Not made of silver
not made of gold
I have not seen what
but I have been told
DOS AND DON’TS
Even you fake nice
there is a devil in everyone
or could there be
another reason for your lies?
Even you hide your tears
there is a loser in everyone
or could there be
another reason for your fears?
All these dos and don’ts
all these wishes, all these wants
all these dos and don’ts
Even you fight back
there is a winner in everyone
or could there be
another reason for your attacks?
Even you crave love
there is an angel in everyone
I am sure
there is no way around
He brings out the best in you
DEAD AGAINST THE PLAN
Blame it on someone that you don’t know
someone up above or down below
blame it on your closest friend
or blame it on yourself, again
So strange how things can change
so dead against the plan
like a strange familiar friend
Tell it to someone that you can trust
someone who knows the cost
tell it to a chance acquaintance
or tell it to your looking glass
So strange how things can change
so dead against the plan
like a strange familiar friend
something happened
You could surely have done without
I could surely have done without
MONOLOVE
Every step you take
to bring you closer
to her again
you only push her further away
and lose her as a friend
Every time you see her
you search for something deeper
in her smile
even though you know
there has been nothing for a long long while
How can love be so painful
but when it works the way it should
be so good
how can love be full of beauty
but when it’s over, done and dead
be so bad
She can’t get far away enough
she will always be in your way
though she will always
be your moon at night
and your sunshine at day
END
I still trust
I still rely on you
minor details
make this mess complete
I still care
I still believe in
small surprises
take over the lead
I hear us talking heart-to-heart
when will forever start
when will forever end
I see us leaving hand in hand
I still hope
I still wish for
coincidences
go-as-you-please
I still deny
I still get tempted
like a tongue stuck
on a frozen iron bar
LONG
I long for the moment
when we will meet again
I long for autumn
stay-in-days and rain
and for someone to explain
I long for the feeling
of being calm in your arms
I am searching for the meaning
of this unsteady heart
and us being apart
Don’t underestimate
the meaning of a word
don’t put all your faith
in something you have heard
I long for sleeping
close to your skin
I am looking for a reason
not to let the sunlight in
or for letting the day begin
SONGS & LYRICS BY INGERLISE STØRKSEN:
ON THE SURFACE (IL.S.)
So you say you’re willing to
break out and spend your last day with me?
hmm
a steep mountain to climb
and still you want to walk by my side
hmm
On the surface
as harmless as can be
you and me
but underneath
there is a story never told
about you and me
No complications please
a win-win situation is to prefer
yeah
but are you willing to let loose
when night falls will you still be here?
hmm
On the surface
as harmless as can be
you and me
but underneath
there is a story never told
about you and me
THANK YOU (IL.S)
I wish to thank
you made me stronger each day
I need to believe
that you’ll still see
and hear me anyway
I wish to thank
you gave me beautiful rules
a reason to play along
in spite deceits
and long nights
You left your footprints
in the snow
a guideline for me
so I will know
the day I get lost
which way to go
I will always follow
SONGS & LYRICS BY JANNICKE LARSEN:
CITY LIGHTS (J.L.)
I can put up a show
so spectacular and divine
but there’s a thin line
between rich and poor
the first lady and a whore
and who will I play it for
who will I play it for
I can put up a show
so simple and lame
it’s far from the same
but the line is thin
between failure and success
there’s either more or less
you’re either out or in
the line is thin
Under the city lights i fail
under the city lights i’m pale
I can fake a smile
and hide that i’m torn
and turn the other cheek
try to appear cold
as you strike the second blow
beware of the one
who throws the first stone
Under the city lights i fail
under the city lights i’m pale
under the city lights i fail
and to the city lights i pray
PAINT YOUR SKY (J.L.)
Try
stop holding back
you will risk your neck
you’ re in between two worlds
stumbling in your words
I will help you through
hold your breath for you
try
stop holding back
you will risk your neck
Those you rely on
they seem to be pretending
you’ re in denial
go out and hold your banner high
painting your own sky
Be indifferent
to what is said
to be true or false
it is only up to you
You need a loud voice
to support your choice
try
stop holding back
go and make some noise
A minute of sleeping
and nothing is the same no more
a minute of sleeping
CALL ME HOME (J.L)
I will reach the end
just before you catch my hand
I will fall for days
the ground is gone
you are always late
I won’ t be overthrown.
if I see you years from now
but if you come today
I’ ll be conquered
and you will claim your land
Shine will come from rain
if you call me home
you call me home
seasons go away
if you call me home
you call me home
I will surely choke
you are breath-taking and i am sold
so don’t call this a hoax
if you know me,
you know how i easily break
