No Winners Here

How strange a thing and sorrowful
To lose a friend you never had
Like the tight rope that we walked on
Time, too, seemed endless till it snapped
I know you think I somehow win
But this time you’re not right,
If you knew what you meant to me, you’d know
There are no winners here tonight
Can’t help but feel a little used
But still more sad than mad
I know that you had so much more to lose
and after all, can’t I lose a friend I never had
And I don’t know if I was really blind
Or if I chose to be
But what I know is that there are
No winners here, you see…
And I’m not sure, what hurts the most
Is it the empty chair
Or is it knowing it was all
Too much for you to bare.
Although the fog’s been lifted
The missing puzzle pieces found
My memories have been twisted
So there are no winners to be crowned
Although not in the way you’d like
You still can’t leave my mind
And though the picture is now clear
I’m now left wondering what was real
There are no winners here
Tonight
Maybe another time…

Effortlessly

Have you ever loved and lost?
Have you been in tears a lot?
Have you gone but then come back for more?
Tell me
Have you seen a lot of ghosts?
Have you spoken in their tongue?
Did you get a chance to say "I'm sorry"?
Have you run out of ways to sing the same old verse?
Have you been up too many nights?
Was it your heart you chased in dark and cloudy oceans
Or you mind?
I know it's hard work
I've been on that boat
But one of these days you will be loved
Effortlessly
I know hope's run dry
There are no tears left to cry
But you won't have to when you're loved
Effortlessly
Have you ever searched for words?
Have you found them in a song?
Have you seen many flowers grow and die?
Have you stood still in the rain?
Have you welcomed back again
The pain that comes from trying too many times
Have you been dreaming like you used to?
Have you been holding on to lies?
Have you been keeping up with changes on your forehead
And in your eyes?
I know it's hard work
I've been on that boat
But one of these days you will be loved
Effortlessly
I know hope's run dry
You have no tears left to cry
But you won't have to when you're loved
Effortlessly
I hope you're dreaming like you used to
And you're still writing on the walls
I hope you haven't second-guessed the road you took
Cuz you're not lost...

Pieces

I don’t really know
How to be alone
I’ve tried so hard
Not to get lost in my mind
I don’t wanna live my life in pieces
Just want to be loved
Even if you held my hand
Even if you showed me how
I don’t wanna live forever
All I want is
to have you in my short-lived life
I didn’t need to hurt you
but I…
Tell me a lie when I tell you I’m sorry
Tell me there’s no reason to worry
When I come home
When I come home to you

For Granted (Μα χάνεις)

Simple pleasures, yet refined
A deep blue sea, a bright blue sky
you always took for granted
Till one day you woke up to find
The world you safely left behind
is now all gone and drowning in the darkness
Κι’ ακολουθεί το βλέμμα σου τα κύματα
Για να μην το τραβήξουνε η στάχτη και οι φλόγες
Κάνεις πως τον αέρα τον συνήθισες
κι ας κουβαλάει μυρωδιές εφιαλτικές
Ανάμεσα σε στάχτες κολυμπάς κι ανάσα σου βαραίνει
ενώ χορεύουν στο μυαλό σου οι στιγμές
Σκέφτεσαι αυτά που αγαπάς κι αναρωτιέσαι τι απομένει
Θες στο κρασί σου να πνιγείς, να πάψεις πια να κλαις
Και στα χείλη σου κολλάει, στάχτη μαύρη
Και μαζεύω τους λυγμούς μου δάκρυ-δάκρυ
Και στα χείλη μου κολλάει, στάχτη, μαύρη
Και μετρώ πια τα κουφάρια από άκρη σ’άκρη
When you were young
You hid and sought
In forests dense and green, and brought back treasures
Mother nature had to offer
And now back to mother you run
To find the carcass she’s become
‘It’s too late kid, the damage done’
Χιλιοκαμένη Ελλάδα μου, σπαράζεις για τα σπλάχνα
που ανέθρεψες καρτερικά στην πράσινη σου αγκάλη.
Για δυο φράγκα σε βούτηξαν στου χάρου το μαγκάλι
Σε ρήμαξαν και σ’άφησαν στο έρμαιο της βροχής
Λαμπαδιασμένη γη μου εσύ, αιμορραγείς και τρέμεις
Σπίθες χαράζουν σύνορα θανάτου και ζωής
Κι όμως, στη μάχη ρίχνεσαι με δυο λιωμένες μπότες
Να σώσεις τα παιδιά σου από το πέπλο της σιωπής
μα χάνεις, και θα χαθείς
Και στα χείλη μου κολλάει, στάχτη μαύρη
Και μαζεύω τους λυγμούς μου δάκρυ-δάκρυ
Και στα χείλη μου κολλάει, στάχτη μαύρη
Και μετράω τα κουφάρια από άκρη σ’άκρη
Simple pleasures you can find
A deep blue sea and bright blue sky
You always took for granted

Stay

I can handle it all
I can handle the fall
I can handle the silence, the sadness, the rage
I'll go on with the show
And all the things I didn't want you to know
All the secrets I'd hidden away
I'll let it all go
If you just stay
Just stay
I want you to stay
I want you to hear the things I never would have done without you
Stay
I want you to stay
I want you to see the way you make me
See the way you make me feel
So you know this is real
We can handle it all
We can walk through the flames
We can carve our way through this
I knew this would stain
But we bleed through the same vein
Just stay
I want you to stay
I want you to hear the things I never
Hear the things I never say
I want you to stay
I want you to see the way you make me
See the way you make me feel
So you know
So you know this is real
I can handle it all
I can handle the fall
If you just stay
If you just...
