1. The Third Arm
Set fire, set fire to home
Burn in your chair
Let fall, let fall your Rome
Limit your cares
Watch another chance to make things right
Crumble and fall by the wayside
Another chance to set things straight
Wither and die as another day breaks from the light
You've rewired, rewired your code
Spirit betrayed
Now you drown just to stay afloat
Ripples degrade
Watch another chance to make things right
Crumble and fall by the wayside
Another chance to set things straight
Wither and die as another day breaks from the light
How do you see yourself on your one way ride?
How do you breathe in half light?
So wrapped up in your self-administered prize
Watch another chance to make things right
Crumble and fall by the wayside
Another chance to set things straight
You'll sink but you'll rise
It's alright, reach for the knife
Set fire, set fire to home.
2. Wish I Was Here
All in all I don't know what to believe
But I told my friends I'm not sure if they're real
And I'm peering in mirrors for proof that I'm here
Half in, half out of this broken machine
Sick to the bone with some spectral disease
Came back from the void with the void still in me
Oh, how I wish I was here
Watching my life on a detuned TV
The pictures I see are just shapes on a screen
Come shock me out of my slow motion dream
Here comes another day still within the fade-out
And I'm freaking out
Don't let this be what I'm about, I'm about
Oh, how I wish I was here
All it would take is a whisper or a kiss To seal my fate within the abyss
Anaesthesia
All is seeing, self deceiving
I'll find a way home
Oh, how I wish I was here
Acid mother, resin father, I am blind.
3. This Is Not Utopia
Aggravation, degradation
Deflamation, resound
Self fixation, self fellation
Masturbation, bleed out
All the acid tongues get to breathe
It's in the lines they weave, but not me
So push the pacifist in the ring
And watch the cruel display
This is not utopia, this is a sentence
Isolation, medication
Alienation, freak out
Hold on to the dream
And push the truth away
Lower your defences and you're just a piece of meat
Searching for communion in the likes that I have never seen
Egos they rise in the air. Godlike in motion, they levitate
Oh they invite you to play, drag you from grace
Among the whores, among the thieves
I serve godless machines
Domination, violation
Molestation, freak out
4. Partners In Crime
We're in love, we're on the same page
Sliding off each other's frame
It's not enough to say our prayer
There's nothing coming up for air
Feeding as one
Lost in our portrait of rage
Here in our song
The essence of love and betrayal
Partner's in crime
Lover's in grime, fuckers entwined
Partner's in crime
Leeches in brine, grapes on the vine
We're in hell, can't leave this dark place
Try to break and I'm on your tail
If all that suffers is real
Then it's only us who feel
Only us who feel
My strength in your weakness
Your fail is my winning
Your strength is my weakness
My failing, your kisses
We're on our own
Come on, we're fearless
Come on and feed it
Normalise.
5. The Sanctification
The lights are on this work of art
And nothing can compare
For I've seen God, he's in my heartbeat
And always has been there
Eyes dilate as I vibrate
Luminous is the flame
And out there it's a nightmare
Let rotten wood fall away
Indifference to trivial views
Wrapped up in my bliss
Indolence will pacify with heavy trickle kiss
We are of the sun
Not captive to the mundane death of the body
And who says this is not the one state?
For I belong here
Let rotten wood fall away
I dream, I dream a revolution of the creed
Blow the valve, reset the code
I feed, I feed from the spaces in-between
I evoke heaven with a stamp on my tongue
I believe, I believe this is Eden I perceive
Open doors breathing walls
The opulence of kings
I believe, I believe it's perfection I've achieved
No reward could ever come
To reach this seventh heaven
I'm in love with a chemical
It's all downhill from here
Turn off, tune out, drop down
Turn off, tune out, drop down.
6. Existential
I am the voids progeny
Relayed from the black to here
Born of the unforgiven sea
Bestowed with temporary immortality
Turned in to time and space
In love with my own chains
'Til the devil looked into my face
And pulled back my veil
Neural oscillation, fade in/fade out
Am I lucid?
It's just existential
Here in the dark there is no-one else
For I can only sense my self
A freak singularity
But if I created this, who created me?
Betrayed by inner space
Am I straight or have I gone insane?
Is there a series of realities or just nothing and me?
Did God ever panic, up there all on his own?
Don't you go thrusting the timelessness that you feel inside
For you may find one day that it's nothing, nothing but a lie
Bow down to the ingress
Realign to the eclipse
When the revelation brings you down to your knees
Ask your God, do dead eyes still see?
If this is only a leaf in the breeze
What the fuck is this, what the fuck is me?
7. What Do You Want Me To Do?
You've been rowing out to sea for two thousand days
And you can't see the shore, or remember how it feels
I am here to help
I am here to make sense out of this world
What do you want me to do?
You've been dissolving me in salt
Drowning me in bleach
I've been going up in smoke
You've not given me an inch
I am here to help
I am here for reason, for thought
What do you want me to do?
Take heed in the weight of the words I say
As we fall into another day.
7. Between The Atoms
Where's your god as you begin the drown
In the shifting sands of here and now
Break hard from the heart of your black hole
Pulling you into delirium
Hit white as the event horizon looms
Trajectory has changed
Landslide to aphasia
Dug out of our own grave
The tree of life will fall in the end
Now out of sight of the all seeing eye
This is what you wanted, you wanted
This is what you wanted
What will lie beyond these heathen vows?
You might never cave in, but you may never get out
Unsure as to what of yours remains
To get to feel another day
The tree of life will fall in the end
Now out of sight of the all seeing eye
This is what you wanted, you wanted
This is what you wanted
Hold on, hammer in the nails
Reality begins to fade
Hold on to the mast, we are to break
Hold on child
The stars have turned to quicksand
They pull you peace by peace into the void
Am I still here? What is here? Am I still breathing?
It used to be a crown of flowers through your hair
Now it's just a wreath held on borrowed time
This is what you wanted, you wanted
This is what you wanted.
8. Liquid Lights
Come hear our broken psalms
Big words that we wrote while in the dark
We ordered our young
To heed our words and bleach their minds
And they obeyed
And said their prayers
And burnt their wires
Before too long we'd changed our minds
We fell out of love with liquid light
And in our shame
We all then failed to disavow
Leaving our plague to trickle down
It's gone too far
Lennon. Slick '66, get your trip on
Stay in bed, feed your head
Huxley's new dawn
Acid fried, '69, got it so wrong
Brian, Syd, Peter, Skip, Roky, all gone
Come listen to the words of dead men
And the clinically insane
As they lead you down the path that they went
And encourage you to do the same
Wake up
They got it so wrong
Still their verses are commonplace.
