Kiss my lips together and I’ll be yours
Don’t you be afraid
Surrender
Surrender
To what it hides
Until you’re touched inside
This won’t last and I’m not a friend
Now I don’t understand what it means
And why we can’t surrender
Surrender
Kiss me
This kiss kisses the words away
Maybe you need a shelter
Alright
You never ask me why
Do you think this is as it should be
This won’t last and I am not a friend
Now I don't understand what it means
And why we can’t surrender
Surrender

Standing on the stones
And the stones stay stones
While he’s looking over
Thinking about it
Thoughts become birds
Fly away, always come back
Even if he doesn’t want that
Some things you don’t wanna know
If you move so fast
It’s still too slow
The kids go to school
And the car is driving somewhere
And the grass grows
’Cause it’s becoming Springtime
Springtime
And he’s right, he’s right
It can go wrong
’Cause you got to go on
And thoughts like vampires come
’Cause they are always hungry of desire
Some things you don’t wanna know
If you move so fast
It’s still too slow
The kids go to school
And the car is driving somewhere
And the grass grows
‘Cause it’s becoming Springtime
Springtime
We are ordinary in an extraordinary world

My City Your Hometown

It’s cold out here
Pieces of broken ice in the river
On top of the roof is growing a tree
Out of the window
So at home, so at home
It’s home
A fire is burning bright in a city without light
A city still dreaming of its glorious days
Once a famous city
Now it’s just a name
The door is open
The room is empty
The door is open
The glass is broken
A picture is printed in my memory
Of the cleaner that likes to burn the papers
Instead of throwing them away
A fire is burning bright in a city without light
A city still dreaming of its glorious days
Once a famous city
Now it’s just a name
It’s cold out here
Pieces of broken ice in the river
On top of the roof is growing a tree
It’s the policy of negotiation
It’s my city
It’s your hometown
A city still dreaming of its glorious days
Once a famous city
Now it’s just a name
Just a name, just a name
A name

I’m here to protect you
I’m here to protect you
From the things you don’t want to do
But you want to do
One will bring you back to me
Travel on a higher level
With your guest and your guide
I’m what you deserve
And what you need indeed
You’re save here with me
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
I will cue you, I will sue you
I will cue you, I will sue you
Somebody you knew before
And if you need some more
Nothing I blame you for
’Cause I'm your friend indeed
I’m what you deserve
And what you need indeed
You’re save here with me
I’m here to protect you
To protect you
I’m here to protect you
I will cue you, I will sue you
I will cue you, I will sue you
Somebody you knew before
And if you need some more
Nothing I blame you for
’Cause I'm your friend indeed

Transparent, so transparent
In a world of glass
I’m reaching out for you
I’m reaching out for you
In darkness
And if there’s beauty in cruelty
It’s in the details
Everywhere are fragments
Crash a fall down without end
Tell me about the secrets of the universe
What’s behind all that black
A heaven in your head

Get in before you’re spat out
It’s an organic thing
Pumping black blood
While the heart is jumping
Maybe it’s good for you
If it’s taking you in
She got snakes around her waist
She smiles but that’s not for you
Jeff always plays the bad guy
That suits him
It’s showing now its different face
I’m so scared, I’m so scared
To lose myself in the new
In the new
Before it’s taking you in
Get in before you’re spat out
It’s an organic thing
Pumping black blood
While the heart is jumping
It’s just the beginning
Maybe it’s good for you
If it’s taking you in

Your Island

I wish we could sit ’round the table
And talk about the time in between
I wish we could talk about it later
About where you’ve been
And is everybody partying out there
And is there fruit on every tree
Maybe just water and air
Shu shu
Shu shu
I’m standing in front of your island
With the water to my knees
I can’t get on it, I can’t get on it
I walk on buried keys
The tide is too strong
I leave you behind
Between your beloved trees
Is this paradise
Is this paradise
This is a sick song but it’s how I feel
I mean I’m obscure
And you are white as snow
And light, light, feather light
But I want you heavenly in front of me
And play guitar
Shu shu
shu shu
I'm standing in front of your island
with the water on my knees
I can't get on it, I can't get on it
I walk on buried keys
The tide is too strong
I leave you behind
Between your beloved trees
Is this paradise
Is this paradise

Dreams are flies
Promise me

Labasheeda Amsterdam, Netherlands
Growling, dynamic stuff here from the Netherlands. Labasheeda make intelligent but not emotionless, angular rock music; it's
a brooding sound
with touchstones in the post rock (some gorgeous violin playing in parts) and post-hardcore camps. singer Saskia van der giessen in forlorn almost-romantic vocals which sound all the more sharp set to a back ground
of foreboding guitar chimes.
