Soul Sister
Andreas Johnson
Soul sister with your ragged jeans
and your washed out coat
How I wish that you were here tonight
We sit and talk until the break of dawn
and then we kiss so slow
Say darling don t you know…
In my dreamsyou re mine
You re the one that I see when I close my eyes
in my dreamsall the time
You keep coming aroundto love me when I m down
Ooh hurts like hell
Loosing my mind to your precious soul
Yes hurts like hell
to carry the weight of another fall
Hurts like hell
loosing your love
loosing your sweet and precious love
Soul sister wears the neckless of love
and faith so strong to make a
dead man wanna push n shove
We sit and drink until the bottle runs dry
In our garden of Eden we never say goodbye…
In my dreams you re mine
You re the one that I see when I close my eyes
in my dreamsall the time
You keep coming aroundto love me when I m down
Ooh hurts like hell
Loosing my mind to your precious soul
Yes hurts like hell
to carry the weight of another fall
Hurts like hell
loosing your love
In every seed you sow within this
dried out field
there s humble love and inspiration
In every bound you break
There s a vision in the steps you take
that brings you a little closer to salvation
and I wonder why
you re not here tonight
Soul sister with your ragged jeans
and your washed out coat
How I wish that you were here tonight
Lost Religion
Andreas Johnson
We ve got a cabin on the East coast
where we live and love by our own rules
some people might call us strangegirl
but were not living among those fools
We got our wine from a village nearby
where the old men tell stories every night
sometimes we sit down to listen - when the
butcher blows the WINCTLE about the baker s wife
There s a riddle down in heartland
where the mystery sleeps alone
and beyond the world of darkness
we just celebrate our love to life
as we face the rising dawn
You don t know what it s like to be a
walker of the lost religion
far away the listless world
a fairytale you never heard
you don t know how it feels
to be a victim of the lost religion
where life is so indestructible and our faith
so untouchable as we live and love
by the lost religion
We get our milk from the milkman
who gets it from his sister s cow
who is fed by the green grass
sowed by the owner to the cow
And as we live our lives in heartland
where the mystery sleeps alone
and beyond the world of darkness
we just celebrate our love to life
as we face the rising dawn
You don t know what it s like to be a
walker of the lost religion
far away the listless world
a fairytale you never heard
you don t know how it feels
to be a victim of the lost religion
where life is so indestructible and our faith
so untouchable as we live and love
by the lost religion
Some day love is like an ocean
filled with all the gifts that life can give
some people struggle hard for emotions
tryn to find that code in life to live by
well I ain t singing for my brother
he already got his share
I ain t dancing for my sister
cause she s already there
You don t know what it s like to be a
walker of the lost religion
far away the listless world
a fairytale you never heard
you don t know how it feels
to be a victim of the lost religion
where life is so indestructible and our faith
so untouchable as we live and love
by the lost religion
by the lost religion
Just Stay Dead
Andreas Johnson
We came from somewhere
we got out smooth like heaven sent
I got to nowhere
you made it everywhere you went
everywhere you went
we spoke in silence
we saw what we were supposed to see
we talked thru mirrors
you build your dreams but not for me
OhI just stay dead
I just stay dead
I just stay dead
like sun to the colours I fade
We head for something
we picked up flowers in the flow
we ran together
you ran too fastI ran too slow
OhI just stay dead
I just stay dead
I just stay dead
Like sun to the colours I fade
for you I will enter my getaway
24 hours of sunhere today
a million days later of drowning in rain
and I don t believe in the needle you gave
I run to the ground
I stay in this room behind curtains
I listen to the sounds
waiting for someone to get me out of here
out of here.. out of here
OhI just stay dead
I just stay dead
I just stay dead
I run to the ground
If I Built You A Temple
Andreas Johnson
If I built you a temple
from the bricks of my heart
Would you stay there forever
never to tear us apart
If I gave you a mountain of gold
would you beg me to let you inooh would you?
To share our dreams of the days to come
and to find a place where we both will run ooh yeah!
If I built you a temple
yeah would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within oh no!
If I built you a temple
The soul I give is all I ve got
If I gave you my soul to keep
and to treasure it with pride
Would you stay in these arms girl
And never to let it slide
If I built you a staircase
to the heavens within
would you share the light
under garden trees
to walk a million miles
in the land of the free ooh yeah!
If I built you a temple
would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within
If I built you a temple
Ooh nothe soul I give is all I ve got yeah!
You know it s all I ve got
Through you re a million miles
away from me
our love s so close as any love can be
and when I m feeling down
I know you ll be there yeah!
Like a flower born in the early spring
Just I need of love and the gifts you bring
So sister above - I think I m in love
yeah If I built you a temple
would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within oh no!
If I built you a temple
The soul I give is all I ve got yeah!
If I built you a temple
would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within oh no!
If I built you a temple
The soul I give is all I ve got
From Here To Anywhere
Andreas Johnson

Damn My Soul
Andreas Johnson
Standing in the green light
of a neon sign of this old town
smokin his last cigarette as the drinks
he had begun to drag him downhe says
Wonder how I got here
and how it all could come to this
it really doesn t matter now
when I lost my faith in the love I miss
- Oheverything I had is gone
and all I wanna say now is
Damn my soul. for the pain I have caused
Damn my soul. for the love that I ve lost
Damn my soul. for the wars that I have fought
In your namewas it all in vain
Waiting for the son of God
to dry these tears of autumn rain
he stopped believing long ago
but when the spirit leaves comes the pain
- Oheverything I had was you
but all I ever did was to
Damn my soulfor the for the pain I have caused
Damn my soulfor the love that I ve lost bany
Damn my soulfor the wars that I have fought
In your name
Out of my mindI lose control
you slip a bit to let it slide
Out of my minddamn my soul
and then you crawl into her universe
to se you played the fool again
Into her life I came above
you came with the lights on boy
Out of my mind I went with love
Like a dog thru the backdoor
Love like a seal on a dance floor
Love
Come oncome oncome oncome on
Standing in the green light
of a neon sign of this old town
smokin his last cigarette as the drinks
he had begun to drag him downhe says
Wonder how I got here
and how it all could come to this
it really doesn t matter now
when I lost my faith in the love I miss you
Damn my soulthe pain that I ve caused
Damn my soulfor the love that I ve lost bany
Damn my soulfor the wars that I have fought
In your name
Was it all in vain you said
I damn my soul every day
I damn my soul
Brutal Awakening
Andreas Johnson
As the sun goes up over broken dreams of Eden
And she wakes up slowly from the chains that tied her mind
She walks down past the bound that said forever
down the road back home to the ones she left behind
I ve been hanging on threads of emotion
I ve been lost in a riddle so deep
I ve been blinded by my own devotion
I ve been running down this dead end street
All I wanted was a house on the mountain
we could play like the king and queen
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
Never wanted this brutal awakening
This brutal awakening
On a bed of nails you see no face of freedom
Still you hang on to dreams of something you ll never find
When you re in that deep you sacrifice your vision
yeah you loose your sight pretending you re not blind
I ve been hanging on threads of emotion
I ve been lost in a riddle so deep
I ve been blinded by my own devotion
I ve been running down this dead end street
All I wanted was a house on the mountain
we could play like the king and queen
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
Never wanted this brutal awakening
This brutal awakening
So you closed the door on the one there to receive you
Then you slowly drifted away on your own
Now you reach out for the same one to release you
Yeah you ve finally seen that this bird has not yet flown
I ve been hanging on threads of emotion
I ve been lost in a riddle so deep
I ve been blinded by my own devotion
I ve been running down this dead end street
All I wanted was a house on the mountain
we could play like the king and queen
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
Never wanted this brutal awakening
All I wanted was a key to your kingdom
we could play like the king and queen
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
Never wanted this brutal awakening
This brutal awakening
This brutal awakening

Glorious
Andreas Johnson
Here she comes with the master plan
And I?m starting to lose control
Here she comes to this trash of man
And I?m ready to taste it all… when
She s bringing me in
Checking me out
Making me glorious
Here she comes like a brand new day
Belly dancing across the room
In the moonlight I watch her sway
To her rhythm I?ll go as groom… with grace… tonight…
She s bringing me in
Checking me out
Making me glorious… well
Here she comes
She s bringing me in
Checking me out
Making me glorious
She s bringing me in
Turning me on
Making me glorious

The Undeveloped Story
Anberlin
Looking back to darker days getting me down And if this is chaos I think that I m in love with clamor Tides are turning never understood my undeveloped story But it makes sense to meyou make sense to me When it all falls downI ll still be right here When it all falls downwe ll still be right here Once in a lifetimeI could feel this way Once in a lifetimeyou could feel it too Cancel your black subscription I m nowhere near a cigarette And I m cut clear as you wander Past this lonely street and wonder Dance all nightdance all night The kids are all hereand we re downtown We re past the morning glory It s ten past two and I m still working on forty
The Symphony Of Blase

Does what we ve done ever really belong? You re wasting me away I feel so wasted away God if you can hear me out alright Please take these feelings for her inside My chest hurts when I breathe tonight It s wasting me away You re wasting me away You re wasting me away I don t wanna be where you are I don t wanna be here even now I don t wanna be by your side Something isn t right Something isn t right This is our last This is our last This is our last goodnight Say what you will Say all that you can Words have no meaning When I ve seen where you ve been This our last goodnight Say what you will Say all that you can This is our goodbye This is where love ends This is our last goodnight Say what you will Say all that you can Words have no meaning When I ve seen where you ve been This is our last goodnight Say what you will Say all that you can This is our last goodbye This is where love ends
