1.
Well, we fight our fears in such odd ways. As withered flowers, our lives rot against the hours. We're nothing but time: we rise and we decay. Empty prairies filled with the sounds of the prayers of those who soon will be ashes in the air.
2.
Our lesson 03:20
For every lesson that we learn, for every step ahead we take. I've never been so proud.
3.
Backwards 03:13
Looking back to all the things you've left behind. Looking backwards to your life. We all do have regrets, but who knows what the future awaits?
4.
Unfolded 03:49
As the seasons keep unfolding our high hopes seem to vanish. As the years keep up their rhythm our high hopes seem so naive... Is not that I can't dream big, I'm just keen to settle in. An idle life, that's what I would wanna live. Just getting by without much hindrance. An idle life, that would do the trick for me. Just getting by without much hindrance, and see the hours go by. An idle life, free from the pressure to be that “someone” big who makes a difference. And if by any chance those old dreams came to me, well, in that case, they'll come to me because so it's written. So I'll just see the hours go by.

Trembling white lines beneath the blinking lights. Somehow this old car finds its way through the night. Trembling white lines, a warm, hypnotic, sight. It keeps getting darker along these endless miles. Such a long road may seem so tough, yet it feels near enough. Such a tough road may seem so long... But it doesn't feel that far away. It doesn't feel that bad. Short beeping tones, the voicemail of a phone. A lonesome gas station to take a turn back home. I should have known. It wasn't written in stone yet it felt real enough. I should have known. It wasn't written in stone... But it didn't feel that far away. It didn't feel that bad. White and trembling lines, things you can't outrun. I should have known, it wasn't written in stone. Such a tough road leading me home.

Be patient by the water, look what the stream has brought to us. Be patient by the water, it will pay off if we stay calm. Even in this constant flow, even if sometimes we grow tired of waiting by the shore. Even if sometimes even the small twists of the plot can spoil our attempts to keep things under control.
7.
Let me take you, there's nothing for us here. Let me take you where we both can dissapear. Where the land melts down.
8.
The storm 03:56
The wind blows through the fields, the forest, its trees... The wind's dance is awakening the leaves. The sky was wide open, and light could get through. But now all those clouds hide its blue. A storm shakes the waters, with thunder and rain. A storm shakes the waves from within. By now, the sea has swallowed me, but soon enough has spit me out. So I'm drifting away. I'm drifting.
9.
An oath 06:33
Do you remember our oath? We used to whisper some words about spending our lives together. But the truth is you can't just choose who to belong forever. Is not easy now, that there's no love left. There is nothing at all. I guess words are nothing but air. Why are you keeping yourself away from this? All those nights out, forgetting me. Another oath lost and I... I'm fading.
10.
See the sun coming out, bringing all kinds of doubts. Day breaks, a silent shout. What is this all about? What is this really about? Are you running away? Hiding in plain sight, you're hiding in plain sight. You're running in circles with people you don't even know. Hiding in plain sight, where no one can find you. Where everyone sees you, but, still, they don't know you at all. Hiding in plain sight, you're hiding in plain sight. You're wasting your hours like a monument left in the sun. Like a weary monument waiting for eternal rest.
11.
Well, there's a window from where you can see it all. And there's an open door from where you can just run to hide from everything and, finally, find that place you've always wanted to be alone. And I can only hope that someday you will miss me and, then, you will turn back home. And there's an echo still running in my ears. Feels like a distant waterfall of joyfull tears that you've been spilling since my fear took your body and your mind away from here. And I can only hope that someday you will miss me and, then, I will have you near. Of those things that I say and I shouldn't say. Now there's just darkness although I open my eyes. This room's so empty when I wake up in the night trying to reach you with my bare hands, realising once again that you are gone. And I can only hope that someday you will miss me and, then, you will turn back home.
