Breaking point


Verse 1.
The taste is bittersweet
It' my heartbeat
That tick away the time
We were the perfect crime

Pre-chorus.
I tried not to let go
I bent down to keep us whole
But I can't save what's meant to fall

Chorus.
In the darkest hours
You were my brightest thought
Now we lost the powers
And we run towards breaking point

Verse 2.
We are wounded and torn
I should have known
I am the dagger - queen
You are the raging storm

Pre-chorus.
I tried not to let go
I bent down to keep us whole
But I can't save what's meant to fall

Chorus.
In the darkest hours
You were my brightest thought
Now we lost the powers
And we run towards breaking point

Bridge.
In the bloom of flamboyant place
I made myself a quiet room, an airtight space
The paper kingdom is gone
But, I ramble on
Hope to become my brightest thought

Pre-chorus.
I tried not to let go
Bent down keep us whole
But I can't save what's meant to fall

Chorus.
In the darkest hours
You were my brightest thought
Now we lost the powers
And we run towards breaking point

Breaking point

It was winter when you left and I cried
Indigo trees covered the clouds
I wanted to get you out of my mind

The plans went to the flames
The solid ground was never found
You gave me loneliness in a colorful postcard

From madness I went to sadness until the thoughts poured out
That night was endless
I said, if you fly away, I will be a thunder that will crash the sky
"Hold me, don’t leave me now"
"Hold me, don’t leave me now"

Then you told me,
"Your love hits fast,
My love doesn’t rush
I'm sorry, I need to go”,

but I want to know
Is there peace in letting go?

That's what you said to me,
“I have to go”, but I need to know
Is there peace in letting go?

"Your love hits fast,
My love doesn’t rush
That's what you said to me,
“I need to go”, but I want to know
Will I find peace in letting you go?

Hold me, don’t leave me now
Hold me, don’t leave me now

Please, just hold me, don’t leave me now
Please, just hold me, don’t leave me, love

Your hits fast, my love doesn't rush

There are secrets around us
The tears and the sunken ships
Restless rivers and open seas
There are candies and bitter tastes

You fought to understand
Where's no understanding
I forgot who I was and how it felt
I forgot who we were and what that meant

Does it matter now?
I can't undo the things I've done

Oh, it is hard
To get over, to grow older
Without you, without you

Oh, it is hard
To get over, to grow older
Without you, without you

I never knew to be a kid
So I ran into a tired body and dry skin
My heart bled out from a rose thorn
And if you strip the flesh from bone
You could see, I am half of me

Is it matter now?
I can't undo the things I've done
But it's hard
To get over, to grow older
Without you, without you

It's hard
To get over, to grow older
Without you, without you

Without you

1.
I looked up in the sky, when you fell into my life
And my eyes landed on you
I caught something safe and blue

2.
You took me home
Not knowing I’m already there
You told me you care
But I knew
I got something safe and blue

Chorus.
I don't want anything less
I don't want anything else
Except you

I don't want anything less
I don't want anything else
Except you

Bridge.
I remember how the words danced around
Now we talk by not talking and
Silence slides over us like a dead net
Oh, you know, that smile I never show is a stupid prank

Closure.
How not to think about you?
Past years, it was the hardest thing for me to do
I was a hundred reasons away from you
I want something safe and blue
I want something safe and blue

Safe and blue

1.
Dreams fly to the sky
My words are shy
I smell the old beech
You are far, out of my reach
Pre-chorus
I can’t sleep, want you under my skin
Your unfinished thought
Something you don’t want to say, so frail
Chorus
By morning, everything comes close
I look for a quiet place amidst the storm
2.
The wind strikes the glass as if it hits the heart
A breach of clouds is in your eyes
I'm thinking about everything we said, all we hid under the tongue
Pre-chorus
I can’t sleep, want you under my skin
Your unfinished thought
Something you don’t want to say, so frail
Chorus
By morning, everything comes close
I look for a quiet place amidst the storm
Bridge
We are burning now
Did we forget who we are?
My nameless love
Something I say so hard
So rare, oh, so mine
I miss you,
In the most awkward way to miss someone
Pre-chorus
I need to believe in…
Your unfinished thought
Something you don’t want to say, so frail
Closure
By morning, everything comes close
I look for a quiet place amidst the storm
I look for a quiet place amidst the storm

Quiet place amidst the storm

As we drive home
Silence cuts the skin like a bullet
Through my body, cold current
We must be pretending
Wearing lies and broken hearts

It’s getting dark and it’s getting late
We’re into mind games
When my eyes turn into snowflakes
I’m thinking what you're thinking, then
You look at me, I look down
And the words unsaid
I leave there,
I leave them there
To die

But, maybe you can wear my storm
Maybe I can hear your silence
So we can calm the blow

The world was noisy and colored
When all went silent,
I saw how wounded you can be
It made me unguarded, so much I wanted to hide in your pain


I felt you like a distant land
Wondering who did this to you
But now I know it couldn’t have been anyone else
You carry that hurricane

It’s getting dark and it’s getting late
We’re into mind games
As my eyes turn into snowflakes
I’m thinking what you're thinking, then
You look at me, I look down
And the words unsaid
I leave there,
I leave them there
To die

But, maybe you can wear my storm
Maybe I can hear your silence
So we can calm the blow

From all we knew, from all we wanted
I could use a word never at most times, I suppose…
There were few tries, still, we always confuse each other
Play strong but we're tired, leaving a mess

Oh, It's hard to be like this
So I trick myself we are broken, cursed, unsteady, frail
Like an interrupted dream at 5 am
But, maybe you can wear my storm
Maybe I can hear your silence
So we can calm the blow

Maybe you can wear my storm
Maybe I can hear your silence
So we can calm the blow

We

The sky is full of colored clouds
Looking up, looking up
You came across my mind
Like a summer blossom
And silky wind cruising around

I can't reach you, I can't reach you yet

I love you by day
In the labyrinth holes despite the stepping stones
And when the night comes
In the hidden corners up to distant borders
I need you, I confess

Hold my hand and
Help me lose learned fears
Shout the words and stop the tears
Shout the words and stop the tears

I'm breathing pain instead of air and
Any attempt to comfort leads me to despair
I need new sounds
To light my thoughts tonight
Heart beats harder
Now,
Whom to say?
Where to go?
To scream anger?
Cry sadness?
Love love?
Live life?
In the shadow of my mind
In the shell of broken heart
I'm quiet in this final madness
You don't know how it's hard

Hold my hand and
Help me lose learned fears
Shout the words and stop the tears
Shout the words and stop the tears

Shout the words and stop the tears

1.
Starless sky
I'm tense
December feels like Summer and unfinished ties
2.
Oh, thoughts stick to the sick soul, I remember…
Paper ships sailed to the storm
In the beginning, we had something, darling…
Chorus.
Now, I’m back from war
Walls of memories, voiceless enemies
They left me bruised
Why so confused?
Always running, we are Masters of hiding
Bridge.
From the hallway to the room
I led you to the spring
But the flowers forgot to bloom
And I didn’t know where to go, still
I can’t let your hand go, no
Chorus.
I’m back from war
Walls of memories, voiceless enemies
They left me bruised
Why so confused?
Always running, we are Masters of hiding
Closure.
Thoughts stick to the sick soul, I remember…
Paper ships sailed to the storm
I'm trying to be strong, but my body is cold, my body gets old...oh
These days, I just want someone to hold...
Like in the beginning, when we had something, darling…
Now, we are Masters of hiding
We are Masters of hiding

Masters of hiding
