How The Race Is Done
04:10

three steps forward and one step back
we get to see what we lack
will you shrug it off your back
will we ever react?
now it’s storming all over you
and you must choose a side
we’ll be looking for a way through
while you stay paralyzed
it was a steep and long way down
can you face the stormy weather this time?
how the race is done
how the rest is none
how the West is won
how these colors run
how the race is done
eyes up forward, doubts behind
get these moments and faces stuck in your mind
it’s not just something else we’re looking for
it’s stuff we said a thousand times before
we’ve finally come to terms with rules that were
how the race is done
how the rest is none
how the West is won
how these colors run
how the race is done

Every New Mistake
02:50

I guess it’s something
in everyday that
makes you different
in every choice you make
I bet in someway
we’re always learning
we keep on yearning
for every new mistake
like someone else’s
someone else’s life
I feel like breaking
each rule that I know
and be forgotten
that’s unforgivable
I want to leave trace
of everything I make
in all the paths
I crossed during my time
I guess it’s all true
but I need to see you
I need to feel you care
and lose my mind elsewhere
I have to waste my time
and step way out of line
on your eyelids
in your voice
in your crooked smile
the weight of our exile
let’s get lost then
forgo being sorry
let’s get so far
we cannot look behind
I guess it’s all true
but I need to see you
I need to feel you care
and lose my mind elsewhere
I have to waste my time
and step way out of line

Broken Kid

“she’s just a broken kid
we don’t know why she hid
herself again behind the bathroom door
we tried to calm her down
but she never lost her frown
maybe ‘cause we called her a clown”
I’m out.
There’s nothing more to sing about.
I’m out
I’ve got nothing left to care about
I’ve been struggling all my life
walking side by side
with all this grief, all this strife
been labelled and been stamped
a loon, a schizo, a tramp
now I can see, it never made sense
I’m out.
There’s nothing more to sing about.
I’m out
I’ve got nothing left to care about
go on with all your whispers
go on with all your stares
go on with your wishes, go on
go on I’ll see you there

Just So You Know
03:09

self-absorption
‘til it hurts and I
always wonder what’s
there to learn
afraid that someone
might be after you
check your vitals and
let me know
if you feel hunted if
you feel lost
‘cause I
think you’re only
falling off too short
laid out
wondering
where else
you can sprawl
you take it all
if you seek comfort in
troubled shores you might
wind up wrecking oh so sure and I’m
pretty sure you’ll
never make it back
self is sacred
self is gold
self-assured ‘til you
can’t ignore all those
little secrets
pounding hard at your door
ran out
wondering
no place
left to sprawl
just so you know

Towards Me
03:45
|

|
these are known
to be the perfect moments
in a world that won’t leave us alone
see their souls
catching fire
but with no passion and with no withdrawal
you say "no love
will ever come towards me
I don't know if I should flee or not“
they don't know
how to get you
and I will never figure where to start
everyone needs to run
I feel late every time
let's stop now!
the sun is going down
you can lean on me, lean on me
there's no need to run
when you feel late every time
let's stop now!
let's stop now!

Time To Run
02:25
|
|||
|
is this the only pace that you can carry on
looked like you’d keep up, now like you don’t
well I don’t know, their silhouettes are blurring ‘round me
don’t cry don’t try to make a scene, they’re onto you
just say goodbye, you
are the one
that never fired
towards the sun
it’s time to run now
with all this energy you could blow all this snow
pull all your secrets out of your robe
so now before we turn our backs and chase who went away
we’ll lay waste to every single one who wants to stay
carry on, ‘cause
I don’t know
where we might end up
if we’ll just go
it’s time to run now
so start the pyre
and stay close
no desire
to return
seconds always try to cut the line
but I don’t want to, another time
the more you know the more they make you think that you deserve
just climb across the line they’ve drawn
escape their maw now
it’s time to run now

Try
03:19
|
|||
|
feels like, feels like the last time around
hold on, hold on to the memories you’ve found
tried hard, tried hard ‘til you got what you want
all comes, all comes in a whisper
and in a whisper is gone
ran out, ran out of stories to tell
you know, you know them all all too well
I think, I think I’ll open the door
oh how, I wish you’d seen me
you’d seen me before
try, try
I’m counting off the streetlights
I’ll count them off until they disappear
and they disappear, since you’re not here to see me
try, try

From Here On
03:43

watch out
here we come
you’ll understand it when we’re gone
spread out
we’re on
you had your chance for too long
it’s on
you’ll know
when it’s time for you to be won
wake up
still too late
you won’t be locking our faith
it’s just something that you said you would
realize all on your own
we will manage despite you all
we’ll take charge from here on
be gone
you’re through
you don’t even belong in the world you knew
look out
make way
the boat you’re on well it might sway
it’s just something that you said you would
realize all on your own
we will manage despite you all
we’ll take charge from here on

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
