01-You're Dreaming

You're Dreaming

You're in a room, by a window, dreaming
Me, in the middle of the wild city; you, sitting on the water
You make a dream of open plains out of the howling wind
Me, I sing along with the howling winds
In your sleep, sometimes you're a smile and sometimes a frown
Me, in the cold mountains, keeping company with wounded tigers
Like water, you'll find your way anywhere
Me, after all this pain, I sit down with a cold sigh
You dance, and you're drunk, all passion and shouting
Like a light leaf at the mercy of the wind
Me, I stand far off and wait for the night to end
Then gently I take you back from the wind again
Till the rain comes down and washes our sorrows away
Till the night goes and gently lays our bodies down
Not just, for me, a one-of-a-kind leaf
You're all one soft dance, parallel to waking
I breathe the whole way, all the way home
So your fresh air stays free of me
I shout the whole way, up to the window
So the smell of sorrow won't shine on you from my throat

02-Still Thinking About You

Still Thinking About You

She's so much kinder than you, my flower, I wish you could see her
Her lips so much redder than yours, my flower, I wish you could see her
A little softer than you, she lowers her eyelids, coyly
She's not quiet and cold like you, there's a kind of smile in her eyes
I love the scent of her hair, just seeing her lifts me up
She's got no bad habits, I've got no bad feelings about her
The way she talks is lovely, her cheeks a faint red
Her movements like a dance, her breath like a song
But every time I kiss her, it's your lips on my mind
The moment she laughs, my ears fill up with your voice
When she looks at me, it's you standing right in front of me
Just when I'm about to fall for her, you become a longing again

03-Don't Know You Anymore

Don't Know You Anymore

I won't write a thing to make you restless
Or want to turn you into spring for my heart's autumn
A lightened heart, fear, a bitter feeling like me
From the matchless pain of clinging to a single body
How hard you came back to me, it's like I don't know you
Understand me again, let go of this madness
Besides my love, what kind of faith does my heart hold
How has it calmed down, how is its season spring
Under your gaze my heart sees something hidden
Behind your smile, for me, a sad tune
You burn, again, wanting me to come back
The song of your heart says I'm still the same man
My dark prison, its whole expanse the city
Repeating it any more is drinking poison too
From this far distance I'll arrive late, or not at all
But I was never so far that I couldn't be felt
With what beautiful words, and where, did you join me
How did you laugh at me so that you're here and not here
The rope's root has rotted; even the memory of a name can be killed
A soul can't be conquered, or squeezed breathless in a fist
Late, and lies, and never: arriving is more beautiful
Kiss my soul, this is the final price

04-Try To Admit

Try To Admit

In the storm you stirred up
I endure, you've lost
In the picture that, in your mind,
You built with all your choked-back tears and hate
You're suspicious of every look
Of everything you've seen with your own eyes
You doubt every feeling
Through all your moments you're a prisoner of doubt
It's me on this road, you're on the same path as me
Don't ask me to change, just try to admit it
You and I, we each have our share of life
I'm your partner, try to understand me
Me, who gave my heart's light to the song
Me, who gave in to your hate
All my dignity that you took from me
All the hearts you've hurt

05-Desert

Desert

Why am I here again, where there's not a single flower
There's no bridge left to go back to before
Me, a lonely madman, at night in the waterless desert
The desert has no tulips for this sleepless me
It's nearly morning, but the sun has no breath
Longing for you, the desert's vastness feels like nothing but a cage
If your cold tone blows through my mind
It's this wind, over and over, that dries out my roots
If there's still the mark of my wound on your face
My pain is the heart's pain, yours is from the body's wound
The depths of my thirsty soul have tasted you
You still exist somewhere no one has ever reached
The sun was the only common element between us
I told the sun, kiss her face early in the morning
The only thing of you that's still beautiful to me
Is a faded memory and a few bars of a song
If there's still a way to me, even as narrow as a vein
Fight and come back, 'cause the heart still pumps blood to me

06-We're Falling (Ft.Hadi Pakzad)

We're Falling

I'm rotting, so why am I laughing
I'm burning, why am I sewing my lips shut
We can see it, so why do we just sit
We didn't give up on each other, but we came back too late
This darkness leaves my heart so heavy with grief
My heart aches so badly, sleep, heavy thoughts
We sleep on stone, and how cold the stone is
Our bed was warm; this difference is pain
On this side a fruit, on that side a man
Thirsty, but a god has crushed the fruit
I cling to your body to know you're there
You don't get it, no, you're drunk all night
Hair down to the neck, the smell of perfume, feeling
Shoulders down to the wrists, the palms are cold
We're dying, so full, so sick of each other
We're falling, if only we'd told each other
We're being thrown off, we're becoming the stake in a bet
We're decaying, but we don't kiss
