Logh - North (2007) by Logh (보컬) on maniadb.com

the door was not locked so i went on inside
i had been there before and i knew that i was out on thin ice
i was meeting someone but no one showed up and when trouble came by i tried to find a friendly face in the night
but whoever i was looking for was nowhere in sight
i chose sides
i lost the fight
whatever happened to saturday night?

it was dark like december and the sun was on the run
staggering through the streets and my fear i tried to make my escape
i lay down on the pavement, tried to rest my head
but i woke up from one nightmare to another full of words i'd never heard
i believe they were my friends but then i saw them as ghosts and now i wonder if maybe those ghosts had been mine all the time
though i think there was a reason for my actions, who knows?
tonight i've got a reason and the reason is it's saturday night
now I see the reason why

now i see
i see the reason why - i've got a ghost that i can't escape
a gloved hand in the night
you're my misguiding light
you are the ghost that i can't escape

I can't, I can't understand
how the winter can stay this long and so cold
it gets worse
it only gets worse
and the weaker i get the deeper it bites
everything is on ice it's so cold outside
everything is on ice it's so cold outside

thinking
it's beginning to sink in
I guess you can turn into whatever you like
then what have i become?

a monster scary only to itself?
everything is on ice it's so cold outside
everything is on ice it's so cold outside
tonight I'll try to go outside

I'll close my eyes and hope i got it all right
and everything, everything will change
and someday I'll trick myself,
forget all this, rewrite
the whole thing and the ice will melt
and the winter will end and then
I'll be ok and then it will,
then it will be spring
again for a while

it's happening again but this time you know it isn't real
you know it's a mistake but mistakes are all you ever get
once, you thought you'd found a way but now you know you should have known
nothing ever rhymes and you know you should have just gone home

the darkness around the corner wore her name, a name that you knew well
you knew that she was trouble and you knew you just could not leave it alone
and when the invitation came you knew it was an introduction to the end
so this is how it ends
well i guess you should have guessed

it's happening again but this time there's violence in your eyes
violent and strange they seem to stray as if they're always on their way
but as they see her shadow edging around the corner they just don't know where to go
nothing ever rhymes and you know you should just go home

cold when you see that girl
you get cold when you see that girl
you thought that your luck would turn
you always thought that your luck would turn
never thought that you'd lose your nerve
you never thought that you'd lose your nerve

but you get cold when you see that girl
you get cold when you see that girl

week upon week of seamless night i was going to get something off that guy got robbed and hit in the knees because i could not see for all the trees i lost my shoes, with naked feet i ran and i ran through rainy streets
but when i caught up one guy had become three and i could not see for all the trees
piece by piece the image cleared - no one ever made a friend around here i tried to make them see but they would not see for all the green

one night i'll fight you but not tonight
this lonely night is already lost
sad men with sadder ends, lonely nights and city lights
i thought that i could see but i could not see for all the trees

one night i'll fight you but not tonight
this lonely night is already lost

i can hardly wait
until i fall asleep
tomorrow i'll throw away everything i keep

the days i tried to cage
had already escaped
the moments i tried to save
were wasted anyway

death to your concern
and death to my return
and death to my home town

death to your regret
and death to my respect
and death to my home town

i can hardly wait
until i wake again
tomorrow when you wake
i'll be on my way

death to your concern
and death to my return
and death to my home town

death to your regret
and death to my respect
and death to my home town

i figured it out there's nothing to hide because there's nothing inside i think i finally figured it out
it fell into place there's nothing to see here there's nothing to feel here i think it finally fell into place time to go or everything will stay the same and this will only hurt this confusion must have an end now i'm going away i'm going away i wanted to stay but now i know i have to go away time to go or everything will stay the same and this will only hurt this confusion must have an end now hope tomorrow will be better i'm so tired this is going to hurt but this confusion will have an end now

you're so very late but i'm glad you came
this city has eyes
they keep me up at night
there's somebody there with eyes that stare
at night i dream a sleepless dream

small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side
like a forest at night this city has eyes
from somewhere outside they pan my walls like searchlights
another night without sleep and another day without dreams

it's dark outside
it's almost night
the nights, they're all alike
they'll show when i close my eyes
for now i'll just sit tight

there, in the dust at my feet something flickered in the heat and then just like that it disappeared
last night the mutiny spread
the cops were on the run, the kids were out for blood

you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight
not one sign of life

i've tried but i can't feel a thing
could this really be right?
someday i will stop trying
fights for imitations of life
everything is predefined
no surprises, no defiance

you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight
not one sign of life
but you can see for miles
for miles

the pool was ours for just a fraction of time in the cover of night
flashlights tight in our shaking hands, too rare to die

weekend comes in the wastelands
you're always, or at least sometimes, on my mind
disillusion tears new holes, miles wide, through an already empty space
coming to at the waters edge
i feel the waves embrace

you look so handsome on my bathroom floor, like the blond side of life
the scent of gasoline still fresh on your hands in the cold neon light

this place it makes you wonder
well it just doesn't figure
somehow i can't help thinking somewhere there's something missing

sometimes i check that i'm still breathing

the billboards claim there's a place far away on the other side with palm trees and white beaches
somehow i find doubt about it

sometimes i check that i'm still breathing
sometimes i hope i'm only dreaming

it's one am and time to leave
we're back on empty streets
there's so much time but nowhere to go
but anyway, we can't go home

i'm up for treason anytime, i can cheat and i can lie
the only danger here is being safe so there's no more time to waste

no time for being bored, no fear and no resort
the party's over, the lights are out
but hey, we can't stop now
let's find some place off the map
a place where it's not so safe
a place where it's not too late
let's go party somewhere else
