Searching For Luke

lyrics

All lyrics written by Frida Åstrand

YOU

There's a crack in my cello

there's a bite of my heart

from the tooth of a willow

that only glows in the dark

I've got the best love behind me

so what is left for me now

is it inside of this bottle

that I hold in my hand

You, you

you are inside of my whine

you are inside of my blood

you are inside of me

They misunderstand me

they underestimate me

and they don’t like a martyr

I could kill them for that

but I don’t believe in violence

but to dry them up like flowers

and put ugly confetti

on they graves when they die

You

you are inside of my whine...

you smell like the forest

you are hard like a rock

and you kiss like an ocean

I could kill you for that

but I don't believe in violence

but to dry you up like flowers

and to water you again

when you hang with your head

you...

STARFISH

I feel like I don't wanna see you

for about a thousand days

I know that every anemone

turns to coral

I feel I'm so in love with you

I wanna pour this bottle over my head

pour this bottle

over my head

The humans they don't give me no recover

they just fill up the room

and they chewing on the same gum as all the others

they never spit out it

the gods just playing the whisper game with each other

over my head

whisper games over my head

I feel you drew all the fluids out of the fountains

right out of my secrets

so now I have to put up with all of this druids

and fill up there wine

I feel you pulled out the diamonds out of the mountains

right out of my head

out of my head

pull the diamonds

out of my head

I feel like I don’t wanna see you

for a about a thousand days

then we can finally make out again

the way we did

six months ago

You don't wanna waste time

with the one you’re truly in love with

cause you have to save him

for a day when starfishes climbing up on the mountains

and they will tell you

in your head

starfishes tell you inside your head

I feel like I don't wanna see you

anymore

TREES OF MISERY

Confetti falls down from the roof

Every time you’re in the room

and I be falling my self to

into pieces made of you

I'm never so unhappy

as when I'm happy in love with you

follow in between the trees of

misery with me

drive the sharpest shell into this

stupid heart of mine

never so unhappy as when you’re happy

in love with me

I cut the flesh out from the stars

and taste the salt from your eyebrows

glitter is falling on the streets

when your hands is on the wheels

I’m never so.....

When you ask the things you do

do you ask to hear the truth

we must delay the coming end

that’s why a lover must pretend

I’m never so unhappy as when you’re happy in love

with you

THIS DESIRE

This desire’s coming deep down from the earth

this desire is the bird you cannot see

this desire is a lock inside a key

this desire is the fireflies in the dark

this desire is the songs you've never heard

this desire is the darkness in my heart

this desire came and rocking out the hell out of me

ADRIAN

I wasn’t lost

so you never found me

I couldn’t stop

trying to hide me

all because of time

al because of time

It's not enough

that you once wrote me songs

it's not enough

unless you turn back time

cause Adrian you're gone

Adrian is gone

I used to cry

in your lap

now I cry

behind your back

It hurts like hell

that you're doing well

we both should be

more sad than we seem

cause Adrian we are gone

Adrian we are gone

I use to cry

in your lap

now I cry

behind your back..

THE LAVASONG

I will drink

lava for you

I will save

a dragon for you

but when you say that

it's written

I know you lie

the fountains will sleep and

your love will dry

But you're just like

a castle

with a thousand dark rooms and a guard by each door

we are just like

an ocean

the wrecks make water rings on the surface

You're so big

and so real

but still just a dream

your hands are like seaweed

and you touch like rain

LORENTIAN BIRDS

You dug into my heart

like a mole in the earth

with a rose in your mouth

and your hands filled with dirt

Your heart was made of

the finest wood

the trees of Lorentian

fairy market goods

I don't understand how you can sit

and be quiet

when it's screaming in me

this grief of desire

but I will follow you

like a restless bird

into the darkest

caves of all

Lorentian birds

belong in Lorentian woods

Lorentian hearts

grows on Lorentian trees

You picking in my heart

like a mockingbird

with a rose in your mouth

and your hands filled with dirt

my heart has grown in

the strangest woods

the trees of Lorentian

fairy market fruit

Lorentian birds....

LUKE

I sleep, I eat, I breath and I go out to drink

maybe meet you

but I don’t hope too much

but it's hard to not

to be knocking on wood

every time I'm glad or hopeful

I try not

but I will

always

always be searching for Luke

They say that you can't find what you want

when you're searching

to much

I hope it's a lie but I fear it's the truth

cause deep in my heart I cannot stop

my searching for Luke

Meanwhile, I will sleep and go out to drink

maybe too much

to keep my hope down

I am searching for Luke

searching for Luke

Luke

FOR NOW

Birds are flying

white and low

love is thicker

than motor oil

tonight you'll be a toy

that I can see the stars in

for now

I've been climbing

on the walls

you turn details into stars

I've been climbing

for the stars

you make details

into walls

You're car is driving

far to slow

my love is faster

than motor oil

Tonight you'll be a toy

that I can see the stars in

for now

THE BOATSONG

The mask I were is so worn out

besides I were it inside out

with the soft side out

choose your mask with deepest care

cause it can easily stuck in there

with the dark side in

I'm not what you've hoping for

I'm not even close

but I worship you

the very most

I took the devil into my boat

he stood there waving with his coat

with the soft side out

Cause I took him into my boat

now I him have to row

where the flowers grow

I wanna throw him overboard

or at least throw him an oar

but there’s a dark side to

God is mixing with the lies

confusing fairys with the flies

and God is mixing with the truth

until all the lovers get confused

I'm not what you were hoping for...

you're a devil you're a priest

a river man my biggest grief

with a dark side to

you're the river you're the coat

that I can were inside the boat

with the soft side in

when God turns inside out his coat

he is the devil in the boat

with a dark side to

THE WATERWALTZ

Walk with me

into the deep

darkness of the woods that's sleeping

dance with me

all around

the fountains of the woods that sleeping

The waterwaltz is dripping from my eyes

you call it tears if you like

you call it the river if you want

My tears belong

to the moon and she is

pulling in my eyes to prove it

my blood belongs to the stars

and they’re pulling in my veins to prove it

but my heart is yours

and we walking in the woods together

The waterwaltz is dripping from my eyes

you call it tears if you want

you call it the river if you want

walk with me

into the deep

darkness of the woods that sleeping

PEACHTREE

Come into my peach tree

come upon my black roof

there's washing on a fishing line

and a knife-sharp moon

rise above things with me

rise above

time with me

come into my peach tree

come into my peach tree..
