What a Heart is For
03:18

She comes across the street
The one where you and I meet
Her every step bends the rules of time
The laws of time
You’re staring at yourself
Pretending you’re well
A storm brewing up inside
New waves to ride
How many more sides are there left to combine?
Truth comes with a heartache
But who knows what a heart is for
Truth comes with all its other siblings on the run
Reality is a myth
It’s just stuff surrounding knee-deep
So please be careful not to drown
I need you around
You know that eyes can lie
There are no rules to abide
Take care at who’s riding on your right
Side by side
This rollercoaster only goes one way down

Worthy of Nothing

We’re the unknown,
Worthy of nothing
We learned how to fall
While you were trying to crawl
Stare at your sons
Bury your crosses
Judge every womb
Food for the masses
Ready or not
It’s here where you fall
Ready or not
If nobody’s at the wheel
And nobody has been roused
How come we scream and squeal
Like pigs at the slaughterhouse?
We’re still afloat
Though riding on low wind
There’s still place on the boat
But can you cross your moat
You were trading your stocks
Negotiating hereafters
When the fleet left the docks
Are you sure that we’re the ones to mock?
You can still buy hope
Just know that it’s bootleged
You know it’s your fault
So when you knock on our door
We’ll know your name
But we don’t care for your blame
No we don’t need your blame
A million lies away
Lie the fake gods you pray
Though blind and crippled to death
You’ll chase them to your last breath
Every single time we wonder if we can or if we will be ready for the endtimes for this landfill to become everything we see the very air we breathe well let’s remember when push comes to shove
We’re just real in our flesh and bones, real
One day we’ll flee the den
This shitshow will fade away
Then all these sprouts and stems
Will grow and cover your graves
Will cover your graves
We’re the unknown,
Worthy of nothing
We learned how to fall
While you were trying to crawl

The Way We Die Tonight
04:18

Reassure the neighbors
We are right on time
We’ll choose all the flavors
We’ll bring all the wine
We are young and able
We are satisfied
On this side of the table
Life‘s alright
And the sun shines bright
You’re right
I’ll side with you on this
But don’t tell the other guests
Is this real or a fable
With some lies on the side
I thought I was a rebel
With no place left to hide
Joke’s on me, I jinxed it, but just wait and see
I can get back on my feet, with the right amount of time and
Oh wait
How did we die?
I don’t know right from wrong
Or where this bloody doubts are from
If I should be on my own
Whether I should go at it alone
All of this is lost on me, all of this, all this
Oh my, we probably should have chosen better the way we die tonight
Once more

World of One
03:17

Here it comes
The big void
As far as I can hear
Absence of noise
World of empty
World of one
Land of plenty that once was
No more
Contemplating all that’s lost
All we were
Hear the whisper
The muttered hum
All that’s ending
Has just begun
Here in my head
I’m the one
I’m the setting sun
Concrete ocean
Once of turf
Round this scorched earth
I wonder who am i talking to,
Is it the me I know, or the you I knew?
Sea of silence
Sky of lead
A lonesome journey
Up ahead
Stuck and battered
Horizon blur
Equilibrium
Only my voice
Travels north
Echoes round the earth
Stuck and battered
Horizon blur
Equilibrium
Here in my head
I’m the one
I’m the setting sun

Best Behaviour

Plenty of time
How do you say
You’re out of your league?
Any old line
Could come in handy
Silent like a mime
Preach but don’t reap
Sturdy old mind
I wanna leave you behind
Usual hypocrite
You’ll be by my side ‘til the day I die
It’s you and me, my heart
I’ll bet we’ll stay apart
We can’t go on despising any longer
We can’t just go on swirling anymore
So let me take a stroll
What do you say?
Raising your fists
But not for a prayer
How do you slumber
How do you face another day?
I’m starting to fray
I’m not that afraid
It’s the toll you pay
For drifting so far
For being so helpless right from the start
It’s you and me, my heart
I’ll bet we’ll stay apart
We can’t go on despising any longer
We can’t just go on swirling anymore
So let me take this call
All fine, yours, mine
Here you are idling away
Here you are hustling and gray
This time I’ll find out
How to behave the proper way
How do you face another day
We can’t go on despising any longer
We can’t just go on swirling anymore
So let me take control

Excuses
04:27

We came down on this road
It’s always the long one, always alone
People, people we care for
Some of them won’t come along in the storm, out in the storm
Restless, tracing your footsteps
Facing the meekness, racing alone
Weary, weary and longing
But loud and outspoken, bold and unbroken, outcome unknown
Oh no, I can’t recall all the little stories that I told myself
But I, I’ve waited long enough
It’s all like a dream
It’s all I could dream
We’ll go down on this road
It’s always the tough one, always abrupt

Half Faith Half Struggle
03:16

Water’s rising
And it caught you on your front lawn
Where do we go, “nowhere” she says
Ongoing crisis
Bouncing off and on your mind’s walls
Here you are, in the back of your head
Feeling restrained
And the answer you get when you ask yourself
It’s half faith, half wait, half struggle
Get away your numb senses
Get yourself away
Get away, forget/pretend
You’re just far away
Get away your life in vain
It’s just right here today
Numb in stasis
But we keep on marching forward
Unknown bound, out of control
Keep yourself shut
Try avoiding all dark corners
But you had to go
Had to go there
That you could spare
Restless in vain
It’s half faith, half wait, half struggle
It’s half faith, half wait, half rage, half struggle
Get away your numb senses
Get yourself away
Get away, forget/pretend
You’re just far away
Get away your life in vain
It’s just right here today
When you’re spiraling down you go out of control

The Wends Turin, Italy
The Wends represent a new chapter for the Turin, Italy band with the short-lived name of "Smile". The new name reshapes the identity in more obscure and nervous songs that shift from jangly arpeggios to sharper post-punk guitars, and from a melodic singing to shouted, more expressive vocals. ... more
