Attraction

How does it work, what is attraction
It’s not about gender, I don’t care about that
It’s not how you present or identify
It’s about how good you are to me
It’s about are we meant to be
It’s about your kisses making my toes curl
It’s about your voice making my heart swirl
How does it work, what is attraction
It’s not about women, it’s not about men
It’s not about binaries, everyone’s good
It’s about how our values align
It’s about are you making me feel fine
It’s about your hand firmly in mine
It’s about your touch and shivers down my spine
That’s how it works, that is attraction
That’s how it works for me, that is attraction

Why Won't We Try
02:39

What if we got everything that we wanted
Would we be happy or contented
What if all our dreams came true
Would we just want something new
Dissatisfaction comes easily
Much harder to find happiness
See joy in the tiny things
Feel it in the small moments
But why won’t we try
Why won’t we try
What if a genie granted us a wish
Would we be happy with just one dish
What if the world was a better place
Would we always suffer, is that just the case
Dissatisfaction comes easily
Much harder to find happiness
See joy in the tiny things
Feel it in the small moments
But why won’t we try
Why won’t we try
What if the system is built in a way
That makes us all worry, question and sway
What if we were never meant
To keep wanting more until we’re spent
To hoard more and more until we bend
Dissatisfaction is what they want
It’s hard to sell inner peace
It’s hard to look around and
Feel like everything’s alright
But why won’t we try
Why won’t we try

In my dreams we’re not this far
We wake up together
In my dreams you hold me every day
Catch me when I fall
I look at the stars
And imagine you looking at them too
Distance shortens
And the world becomes much smaller
In real life we are quite far
I miss you every day
In real life we can make plans
Hope one day they’ll come true
One day, that’s what we say
One day, that’s all we say
I look at the stars
And imagine you looking at them too
Distance shortens
And the world becomes much smaller
Distance shortens
And the world becomes much smaller

Jos Olisit

Jos olisit lääke, jonka liottaisin kahviin
Joisin olemukses, jotta voisin nukahtaa
Jos olisit laulu tai osa näytelmää
Sua voisin lausua äänekkäissä unissani
Jos olisit veitsi, antaisin sun viiltää
Veren mukana vuotais traumat ja likaisuus
Tarviin sua täällä, ei oo vaikeeta, en pyydä anteeks
Tarviin sua täällä, se ei oo vitsi, vaan totuus, vaan totuus
Jos olisit täällä, sanaleikin sijaan
Riisuisimme naamarit ja omahyväisyyden
Tarviin sua täällä, ei piiloon mennä sanojen taakse
Tarviin sua täällä, se ei oo vitsi, eikä leikkii, vaan totuus

Can Can't Cope
02:40
|

When you agree to agree, when you let others decide for you
When you’re permanently late, when the good will is running through
I got the pinch of the devil, got affairs that can’t be told
I got the luck of the bankrupt, got the debts of the world
I, I can cope, I’ll fit it in
I, I can cope, I’m digging in
I, I can cope, I’ll see it through
I, I can cope, in spite of you
When you need a quiet evening, but your brain has different plans
When the candle burns in the middle, when fans hit the fans
My mind hangs off the ceiling, bungee jumps down again
I stumble home in the morning, meet myself going out again
I, I can cope, I’ve got a plan
I, I can cope, don’t you understand
I, I can cope, I’ll cram it it
I, I can cope, I’m wearing thin
What did I just leave out
What did I just say
What have I agreed to again
What if I just leave now
What if I just stay
What if I lead someone else astray
What if I can’t stand strong
What if I sit tight
What if confuse wrong and right
What if I can’t help you
What if I cause pain
What if fate means it’s too late to change
What if I just, what if I just, what if I just, what if I just, what if I just, what if I just
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if
What, what, what, what
I, I can’t cope, I’m caving in
I, I can’t cope, can’t see it through
I, I can’t cope, and nor will you
I, I can’t cope, don’t know what to do
When I conceed I may need some assistance to pull me through

Unsafe
03:36
|

|
Waiting in the dark there’s something there
Something I know will hurt me
It will sneak up on me, like a ghost
It will attack and break me
Could you protect me
And make me feel safe again
Could you convince me
That I’m not in danger again
Unsafe, I feel so unsafe
Unsafe, I feel so unsafe
Traumas and patterns come back up
They ruin everything that I built
Whisper in my ear: you are nothing
You’ll never be the one they choose
Could you please help me
And hold me in your arms once more
Could you please tell me
That this will not destroy me once more
Unsafe, I feel so unsafe (x6)

Crossroads
02:41
|

|
Crossroads, choices, decisions
Moments when we decide
To go left instead of right
To move instead of staying still
We’re at a crossroads
Every day is a chance to change direction
Today is a new day
Make the choice before the choice makes you
Crossroads, changes, movement
Life doesn’t always wait for you
To do the right thing instead of the wrong
To speak instead of staying silent
We’re at a crossroads
Every day is a chance to change direction
Today is a new day
Make the choice before the choice makes you
Make the choice before
Make the choice
Make…

Gift Of Stopping
03:31
|
|||
|
When you sit down and stop, just stop
Breathe in and out, count the breaths
Let the air flow through you
You are a vessel for your breath
The mind is light and the heart is calm
Thoughts come and go when you observe
And breathe, just breathe
Breathe, just breathe
Give yourself the gift of stopping
Take in the complexity of life
Feel the feelings, the hard ones too
Flow in the space you created
The mind is light and the heart is calm
Thoughts come and go when you observe
And breathe, just breathe
Breathe, just breathe

Safe
02:17

Sitting under a tree on a sunny day
Looking at the leaves in their full bloom
Feeling the warm breeze on my skin
I take a deep breath and sigh
Today it’s easy to feel safe
No fear, no sadness around the corner
No ever-changing waves that drown me
Just surfing on these safe waves
Wrapping myself in a warm scarf
Looking at the streets covered in snow
Feeling the cold air on my cheeks
I take a look around and smile
Somehow I still feel safe
No fear, no sadness around the corner
No ever-changing waves that drown me
Just surfing on these safe waves
As safe as surfing ever can be
As safe as surfing ever can be

Cemetery Sofie
03:54

Boots and crew cut, Sofie prowled down next to me
And told me a little tale
About a girl who grew up too fast
And hid her love in the snow
Penitentiary Sofie had old scores and scrapes
On her fists and arms
The times that she had to be brave
And the times that were false alarms
She said, you think I'm strange?
Cos everyone seems to think that I'm on a different page
I just said, don't worry
Chorus:
If you are mad, then I am too
If you feel sad, I will be here for you
If you feel bad, just let me pull you through
Cos you make me glad, I live my life just to be with you
Psilocybin Sofie lay back on the grass
As I told her the tale
Of a heart stuffed full to burst
Called unclean and locked away
So she ventured on and I tagged along
Through this sick and worried land
And yes we wept with tears of irony
As we rolled on holy land
Her heart was on the left
Her hate was on the right
Hold on to me tonight
Until the morning light comes over the stones
And oh Sofie
(Repeat chorus)
With you... with you... with you
A pair of squirrels dancing in the tree
A flock of starlings dreaming in the breeze
And me and cemetery Sofie
