  • Put back the stars
    I'm out of shape tonight
    Pinhole black velvet
    Navigation-skills got lost with the fading light
    It was there not more then a second ago
    Now what do you know, what I do know
    Is just not good enough to make things right
    Put back the stars
    I'm out of place tonight

    Ain't it something to know your lost

    I hoist my sail
    Through there is no wind in sight
    And I close my eyes to feel the fresh breeze
    Paint the inside of my eyelids bright
    Fill the sky with your breath
    Cause you know I'm out of mine
    Let the sky burn and I will inhale
    Without a fight
    I hoist my sail
    And I'll just wait for you tonight

    Ain't it something to know you have lost

    Black tar surrounds me now
    But life is the next door neighbor
    On the outside there is just absence
    But when I close my eyes
    All I see is your face

    Ain't it something to know you're lost
    Ain't it something to know you're lost
    Ain't it something I know I've lost Writer/s: CHRISTIAN THELL LINDSKOG, MARCUS TOBIAS DAHLSTROEM, SIMON FRANK GRENEHED, TOMAS NILS NAESLUND
