    It's not a case of doing what's right
    It's just the way I feel that matters
    Tell me I'm wrong
    I don't really care

    It's not a case of share and share alike
    I take what I require
    I don't understand...
    You say it's not fair

    You expect me to act
    Like a lover
    Consider my moves
    And deserve the reward
    To hold you in my arms
    And wait...
    For something to happen

    It's not a case of telling the truth
    Some lines just fit the situation
    You call me a liar
    You would anyway

    It's not a case of aiming to please
    You know you're always crying
    It's just your part
    In the play for today



    Secrets



    Secrets
    Share with another girl
    Talking all night in a room
    All night
    Everything slowing down
    I wish I was yours...

    Strangers
    Nobody knows we love
    I catch your eyes in the dark
    One look relives the memory
    Remember me
    The way I used to be



    In Your House



    I play at night in your house
    I live another life
    Pretending to swim
    In your house

    I change the time in your house
    The hours I take
    Go so slow...

    I hear no sound in your house
    Silence
    In the empty rooms

    I drown at night in your house
    Pretending to swim...



    Three



    Scream...




    A Forest



    Come closer and see
    See into the trees
    Find the girl
    While you can
    Come closer and see
    See into the dark
    Just follow your eyes
    Just follow your eyes

    I hear her voice
    Calling my name
    The sound is deep
    In the dark
    I hear her voice
    And start to run
    Into the trees
    Into the trees

    Into the trees

    Suddenly I stop
    But I know it's too late
    I'm lost in a forest
    All alone
    The girl was never there
    It's always the same
    I'm running towards nothing
    Again and again and again



    M



    Hello image
    Sing me a line from your favourite song
    Twist and turn
    But you're trapped in the light
    All the directions were wrong

    You'll fall in love with somebody else
    Tonight

    Help yourself
    But tell me the words
    Before you fade away
    You reveal all the secrets
    To remember the end
    And escape someday

    You'll fall in love with somebody else
    Again tonight

    Take a step
    You move in time
    But it's always back...
    The reasons are clear
    Your face is drawn
    And ready for the next attack



    At Night



    Sunk deep in the night
    I sink in the night
    Standing alone underneath the sky
    I feel the chill of ice
    On my face
    I watch the hours go by

    The hours go by...

    You sleep
    Sleep in a safe bed
    Curled and protected
    Protected from sight
    Under a safe roof
    Deep in your house
    Unaware of the changes at night

    At night
    I hear the darkness breathe
    I sense the quiet despair
    Listen to the silence
    At night
    Someone has to be there
    Someone has to be there

    Someone must be there



    Seventeen Seconds



    Time slips away
    And the light begins to fade
    And everything is quiet now
    Feeling is gone
    And the picture disappears
    And everything is cold now
    The dream had to end
    The wish never came true
    And the girl
    Starts to sing

    Seventeen seconds
    A measure of life
    Seventeen seconds
