Say, tonight
All suspects unite
Candlelit and gray
We elate
For us, for us, for us
Everything is off the wall
He who doubts, she who brawls
Everything is off the wall
She who lies, he who calls – who calls
Leave your best illusion
Someday we’ll meet again
One day you’ll have to change
My queen lives on a star
My wishes all afar
Everything is off the wall
Handsome hands rise and fall
Everyone is off the wall
While lies, small and tall – and tall
Leave your best impression
Someday we’ll meet again
One day you’ll have to change
My queen lives on a star
My wishes all afar
No-one rules this, no one knows this
No one rules this, no one owns this
No one rules this, no one owns
Little things hang off the wall
Bigger dreams rise and fall
On a thread, up on the wall
Don’t bet on those who call – who call
Leave your last impression
Do you think I wanna, do you think I wanna
Give a damn about your liquid frustrations
Oo-oh
Do you think I wanna, do you think I wanna
Go away and land a lie
Do you think I wanna, do you think I wanna
Disappear
Do you think I wanna, do you think I wanna
Become you?

Keep your distance don't disturb me
Keep opinions to yourself
The telephone helps you remember
The telephone I can't forget
And you think that you can just ignore the demons from the past
If you think that I'll pretend I'm not still burning with regret
And with every hurtful word that you said ringing in my head
I'm not going to forgive or forget
Call you on the telephone and make you feel you're not alone
And everything's OK
Everything's OK
Call me on the telephone and make me feel like I'm repeating
All my past mistakes
All my past mistakes
I make them over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Is it me you're really missing
Do you wish that I would call you
Or is it just control you're after
I guess I'll call you if you want me to
Call you on the telephone and make you think you're not alone
And everything's OK
Everything's OK
Call me on the telephone and make me feel like I'm repeating
All my past mistakes
All my past mistakes
I make them over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again

Days of Heaven
04:37

The door once open has closed on us
With blind devotion, and shambles of trust
You and I, weʼve been through this so many times,
Never seen eye to eye,
We canʼt communicate
And I could tell you, but you wouldn't believe, that I, was the ringer for another manʼs
Shame
For shame
The sword you carry is piercing your thigh
The war so bloody that never stops the crime
Its you against me, in a fight devoid of chivalry
We pretend that it will be the last time that we clash
And now I see you, with your lies exposed
And youʼve been torching every olive branch
Shame
For Shame

There is this….universe
In my fist, my only verse
The only way….to tell about
Is to let it…..bleed out
Far away from the people’s show
Restless souls bite the most
Far away from the people’s show
Restless souls bite the most
You’re the only one……in this experience
The radar’s on…..in phases
It all talks to me, in intervals
I stop to see the world’s rehearsals
Far away from the people’s show
Restless souls bite the most
Far away from the people’s show
Restless souls bite the most

My Trouble Breathing

Verse 1
The radiation burns my skin
Each passing sunbeam wears me thin
The sacred music I held dear
Escapes into the atmosphere
I have no recourse, I canʼt hide
My only shelterʼs in my mind
To stand and face each poisoned day
My presence is toxic to this place
Chorus
Itʼs just a game, to you
Itʼs all the same, to you
I should be left dead on the road
Verse 2
They placed a hold on my escape
My bones are weak, my limbs seem fake
A grand display for me to view
A guarded guise I canʼt see through
You hold a flame above my eyes
With tears that flow in a bridge of sighs
Though you confirm my greatest fears
I persevere throughout the years
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Solo)
(Repeat Chorus)

Breakneck

He who knows remains in chains
He who sees small lies in vain
In vain they all climb up the chain
We watch for the signs of pain
All around us, caught in chains
And to listen to such pretty broken wings
And above us, holy relics
Too poisonous for the innocence of a mind
------
Mother sun, bleach the tears away
You don’t love, you just wait till we fade
Looking up at all the lights
And to miss the holiest of all nights
When we called out, no one came
Too soon for the presence of our hearts
Saw you / in pain
Claws out / heart slain
Is there help / through you?
No self / we lose
Heaven sent us to learn to fight
And to take in both sides of the light
You don’t scare us, nor the night
It’s time to spread our wings and fly
In a time where there’s no love
Glow will do
In a period when time is stuck
They all lose
Displaced ill gaze
No wrongs, no face
Test us, lie to us
Loose ends, tied to us

Wind & Wuthering

Verse I:
Life they say, is just a foolish game
The weeks and months and years with certainty will fade
When yesterday imposes on today
You do your best to turn your head and look away
And timeʼs on no oneʼs side
It works against you
The second hand erases everything you are
And death is not too far
Behind your footsteps
Youʼre realizing, youʼre not getting very far
Chorus:
On a whim, unaware
That your life is hardly there

VERSE I:
Weʼve been waiting, anticipating
The end of the winter, the dawn of spring
Where weʼre standing, it never can happen
Itʼs just temporary, a passing thing
PRE-CHORUS I:
Boarding a plane that can take us away
Our journey begins in the night
Up and away over mountains and lakes
With searchlights that shine through the sky
CHORUS I & II:
Weʼre running from the wasteland
Our dreams in our hands
Weʼre waving goodbye
Weʼre seaching for our satellite
And weʼll be on that freeway tonight
VERSE II:
When we get there, weʼve already been there
We know what can happen, we know itʼs divine
See the sunlight, pour down the mountains,
Cascade through palm trees
We know itʼs divine
PRE-CHORUS II & III:
The place where we are only takes us so far
We need what it cannot provide
The place that we know leaves us nothing to show
We know that itʼs time to fly
CHORUS III
Weʼre running from the wasteland
Our dreams in our hands
Weʼre waving goodbye
Weʼre searching for our satellite
And weʼll be on that freeway tonight
We gain more than we leave behind
And weʼll be on that freeway tonight

Night Versions Chicago, Illinois
As NIGHT VERSIONS, we bring the atmosphere of late 70s/early 80s new wave and post-punk to our songs, with emphasis on melody and anthemic choruses. Marked by thunderous drumming and richly-layered keyboards, we cite artists such as Siouxsie & the Banshees, Faith No More, Placebo and Depeche Mode among our influences. ... more
