Kent Album

Thin december air is like the dry ice smoke
You'll come to your senses or inhale and
choke
My IQ allows me to brush you aside
You're zeros and ones, you're wrong where
I'm right

Now, the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the king lies here dead, now the king
lies here dead

It's not as wet as the rain or
as cold as the snow
It drives him in hard to the sane and the
simple soul

I take a charge at my chance
you know how it is
Let go of my hand
you know how it is

Now, the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me

And my IQ allows me to brush you aside

Now, the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the king lies here dead, now the king
lies here dead

Peel my skin off baby, peel
I need my TV nerves to feel
That I don't care

Shake, my legs won't stop to shake
I need a kicking cause I'm fake
And I don't care
She's speeding all the time
Exhausted, looking fine
Oh baby you're a crime
And I don't care, no I don't care

Peel my skin off so I feel
I have something you can't steal
cause I don't care
She's speeding all the time
Exhausted, looking fine
Oh baby you're a crime
And I don't care, no I don't care
no, I don't care

I don't care, no I don't care

I don't care, no I don't care

Everybody gets a second in the sun
I have a feeling mine has just begun
Music non stop when I close my eyes
Clarity born from a compromise
And you are almost like me

Chorus:
So why don't you dance to the music
I hear inside my head
Why don't you dance to the music
It's the soundtrack for the end

I'm looking for a place to lie in wait
I quit my job to find a perfect fate
Music non stop when I close my eyes
I need some time alone I found a carpark that is home
You're almost like me

Chorus

Everybody gets a second in the sun
I have a feeling mine has just begun
Music non stop when I close my eyes
Clarity born from a compromise
And you're almost like me

Chorus x2

Summertime
I’m the silence as the wind blows
My land is your land we are free
Summertime
If you listen close you hear my teardrops fall
My dream is yours

Chorus:
I have time on my side
Making diamonds of coal
She put a hole, through my kevlarsoul
and my heart slowly dies
It gets lonely and cold
She put a hole, through my kevlarsoul

Summertime
I am violence as the rain falls
My land is my land only mine
Summertime
If I listen close I hear your teardrops fall
Your dream is mine

Chorus

Iґve been waiting for my brilliance to
shine through
like waiting would do
Iґve been called a little coward more
than once
It hurts when itґs true
Iґve been following your footprints in
the snow
Trying to return the excuses that I stole

Iґm the first on and the last off the bus
Little ego be stil
And I fight the cold wind back up the street
To Hagnesta Hill
and the darkness and the snow fallen as one
and I lost my scarf
at a busstop on the outskirts of town

I gather all the courage and the hate
Little ego is wild
And my voice broke I finally reached
that age
I was cruel as a child
If this feeling that remains is not mine
then itґs something new
Maybe my brilliance shining through

Itґs noisy, canґt think I canґt speak
Iґm tired of handshakes so please
Get rid of this crowd I canґt breathe here
anymore
You just have to let me go, you just have to
let me go

Itґs noisy, canґt think I canґt speak...

I saw a film
future visions of now
They changed the end
cause they always do somehow
Saw you tonight
for the first time in years
Crushed and thin
but your guardian angelґs with you
judging by the way you walk

And I get a feeling
it wasnґt that easy
Keeping a place like that
forever you fool me
you're a heavenly junkie
We live in the dreams you had
I get a feeling
It wasnґt that easy
to be who you were

I saw a film
about the violence in men
I press rewind
Take it frame by frame again
Saw you tonight
life still danced in your eyes
Youґre creased and lined
but your guardian angelґs with you
judging by the way you talk

I feel like everybody said I would feel
it's over now, so kill the lights
all I need what everybody said I would need
I'm tied uptight by your china voice that
always broke
when I made you sad

Stay with me stay
Don't leave in this way
Stay with me stay
I'll do whatever you say

I do what everybody said I would do
It's over now so kill the lights
for,I go where everybody said I would go
like a weeping child
Were you the only one
that made it feel right being me

Stay with me stay
Don't leave in this way
Stay with me stay
I'll do whatever you say

Like today awaits tomorrow
Like tomorrow needs today
I need your simple words to follow
I'll do whatever you say

Stay with me stay
Don't leave in this way
Stay with me stay
I'll do whatever you say

There was a time when I was lost in myself
You took my hand became my guide
There was a time you needed my help
I guess my Ego made me blind
Itґs not the rain itґs not the streetlights
That makes your skin so pale at night

Itґs your quiet heart
And your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Letґs take a trip through the wires
Your dream is gone you are free
Stay free...

There was a time I had your life in my hands
And you had life left in your eyes
There was a time I caught your hiding inside
From something shining through the blinds
Itґs not the shadow by the red lights
That makes my skin crawl late at night

Itґs your quiet heart
And your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Letґs take a trip through the wires
Your dream is gone you are free

Itґs not the rain itґs not the streetlights
That makes your skin so pale at night

Itґs your quiet heart
Itґs your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Letґs take a trip through the wires
Your dream is gone you are free

Itґs your quiet heart
And your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Letґs take a trip through the wires
Our love is dead you are free

I got a message from the screen subliminal
Like a sign saying no one cares no more
and all the networks and the TV stations
feed me lies and simple explanations
But they can't fool me
on the state of this nation love

Chorus:
You still need my hands to feel
You still need my heart to bleed
'Cause your lips taste just like money

You start a fire and it smells like chemicals
As you get higher you will hit the all time low
And does the networks and the TV stations
and the lies, the sex, the fake relations
tell you something about the state
of the nation love

Chorus:
You still need my hands to feel
You still need my heart to bleed
'Cause your lips taste just like money

Just like money...

Concrete high rise I need no pity
On the sky train cross this city
Jesus died and God's gone missing
Take your skin off it might fit me now
Love is dead and you're so pretty baby

You still need my hands to feel
You still need my heart to bleed
'Cause your lips taste just like money

You still need my lungs to breathe
You still need my eyes to see
'Cause your lips taste just like money

Just like money...
Just like money...
Just like money...
Just like money...

On the highway there's no traces left
all accidents and incidents
The Christmas snow had slipped his mind
as ever the forgetful kind

If I fall
will you be there to catch me if I fall
When I fall
will you be there to catch me when I fall
Down, down, down, down...

The radio plays cover songs
new lyrics, xex and sing-alongs
Suddenly I lost my friends
they don't call me and I don't call them

If I fall
will you be there to catch me if I fall
When I fall
will you be there to catch me when I fall
Down, down, down, down...

Nothing matters if you stay here, hold
me tight
All those memories will be lost in time
Nothing matters if you stay here hold
me thight
All those memories will be lost in time

Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain
I need you, I need you now I need you now

I tried so hard to make you smile
For once I tried to be myself
I made you scared I made you cry
So I never tried again

And you tried to tell me how you feel
I couldn't hear you say a thing
You tried to tell me how you feel
I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening

chorus:
It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection
Now they fill us with fear
computerized rejections
Your voice disappears
on a bad connection
It gets lonely out here
I need protection, please
are you protecting me

Now I found a way to make you smile
pretending I am someone else
Cause I really missed your smile
more than I missed myself
You found a way to keep it inside
to a point where you can't feel a thing
and silence suits us fine
when we're not listening
no, we're not listening

chorus but not "I need protection, please"
are you protecting me
are you protecting me
are you protecting me...

Jag drömde om
en barndomsvän igår
som telenäten drömmer
om svalorna i vår
Jag vaknade av bruset
från maskiner i djup sömn
Jag vaknade så lycklig
över att äntligen ha drömt

Hon vinkar genom ett fönster
Hennes mun är som ett sår
så går hjärtat mitt sönder
Det har varit ett ensamt år
Jag ska aldrig ignorera dig igen
Jag ska aldrig nånsin glömma hur det känns
Mina nyårslöften

Jag filmar nu
Stora känslor stora ord
men allt av vikt Jag säger
har Jag stulit ur en bok
Jag läste nåt om kyssar
nånting som alla vet
men som dom aldrig lyckas fånga
i filmerna man ser

Hon vinkar genom ett fönster
Hennes mun är som ett sår
så går hjärtat mitt sönder
Det har varit ett ensamt år
Jag ska aldrig ignorera dig igen
Jag ska aldrig ignorera kärleken
Mina nyårslöften

There is something in her eyes
thatґs making me scared
Itґs clinging to my shirt now
like static in her hair
And something here is wrong
I heard it when she spoke
Her dust flows through my veins now
and Iґm yesterdayґs joke

chorus:
And it seems impossible to meet her simple needs
She breathes invincible
and itґs giving me the creeps
Sheґs still the wild one here, the incendiary soul
She is in flame and I am cold
god Iґm getting old

She is talking through a yawn
and the radio is on
I listen through the thin walls
and someoneґs whistling along
There is something in the air
Squeezing out sparks
The striplight flickers and then dies
and leaves us in the dark

chorus

And Iґd make you a believer
But youґre not a receiver
And youґre now a believer
And youґre not a receiver
And Iґll make you a believer
But youґre not a receiver
And Iґll make you a believer
But youґre not a receiver
And Iґll make you a believer
But youґre not a receiver
Yeah Iґll make you a believer
Because youґre not a receiver
