I. Still life of the World
The moon is stained with midnight tears of fortune
Tainted pastures, scarecrows point to no one
My favorite cigarette plays its funeral song
Still life of the world
Shrinking violet wounded by her mother
Old men sleep while porcelain screams take over
And the wolf disguises her dying love
The still life of the world
The still life of the world
II. Searching for the Air
I took in the sunrise and I tried to save it
I looked through my own eyes and I thought I've made it
I thought I could reach the sky, but I'm stuck here on the ground
I wanted to drink wine from the captain's table
I saw it in my mind's eye but my hands weren't able
Searching for the air but it all keeps coming down
Down
Coming down
I'm searching for the air but I'm stuck here on the ground
On the ground
I'm searching for the air but I'm stuck here on the ground
Searching for the air
III. Pound for Pound
Neither more, neither less
And I'm not trying to take some test
And I'm not trying to prove myself
And I'm not trying to run away
Away from you
In all these years I've seen the changes take place
Like the eyes melt in a way
Like the sun bringing the morning
And I know
It was all for you
When I get to walk the streets
Without this burden on my feet
I know I've been called home
These shoes won't be my own to fill
When I see the past beneath
My heavy heart is finally free
Searching for the Air
Searching for the air but I have found
It's pound for pound
Underneath this cosmic symphony
Underneath this pain
This happiness
And underneath the river string
A will to live
I've given love
I've given hate
I've given peace
And I've made war
And I've been scared by
Words and swords
But, here I am
The will to live
You know, when I get to walk the streets
Without the burden on these feet
I know I've been called home
This place will be my own again
When I feel the past beneath
My heavy heart is finally free
Searching for the air
Searching for the air but I have found
It's pound for pound
Searching for the air
Searching for the air but I have found
It's pound for pound
One day I'll see you there
One day I'll see you there but here and now
It's pound for pound
Pound for pound

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
