1. Space Race

Yes, yes, I'd launch into the rising sun
My living breath is measured, every step is done
Fare ye well, my friends, see you down the line
Yeah, yeah...

I don't belong to nation state or dying race
I leave my prejudice with you, my religion's in space
Have a little respect...

Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...

Yes, yes, I'd float around till gravity's end
Unity is coming singular again
See you then, my friends, at the end of time
Yeah, yeah...

Secret knowledge; science, logic, all are gone
Nothing left but burning up into the sun
On a cosmic beach, I'll see ya there

Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...

Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...

2. Back From The Edge

A silent river flowing black
Strange attractors, no turning back
Present danger I recall
That pins my senses to the wall

Back from the edge
Where the darkness has fled
And I'm swimming in light
And I'm falling...
Falling from the edge
Back from the edge

I fell from grace, and that's a fact
I still have urges, I fight back
Cold decisions wear me thin
Kill yourself, begin again

Back from the edge
Where you're not worth a damn
Throw yourself into light
And the rush as you spin from the edge...
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge

Now and then I wonder
Where the faces from my childhood have gone
Like father, like son
In your bones it lives on glowing shadows

Back from the edge(back from the edge)
Back from the edge(back from the edge)
Back from the edge(back from the edge)
Back from the edge(back from the edge)

3. Inertia

These are the pictures
These are the feelings from the front line
Living in silence
Feeling the deafness like heavy smoke
Smiling with strangers
Counting the days like a spring coiled up inside
Welcome to your future
Welcome to your book of lies

Fingers crawl through pages
Nothing changes, living here

Inertia – no wish to move at all
Inertia – everything's a stone wall
Inertia – history lets you die

A ragged pile of silent accusers
Smell the blood of strangers here
No eyes, no ears, no smell, no taste
The mouth of the maggot is full of this place
Murdered conscience, the pressure is crushing heads
Like paper lanterns now
Unbreakable grip
A dead hand driving us
Forward to the end

Kicking through the traces
A thousand years from now

Inertia – no wish to think at all
Inertia – everything's a stone wall
Inertia – history lets you die

Inertia – no wish to move at all
Inertia – everything's a stone wall
Inertia – history lets you die

4. Faith

You knew I wouldn't go
That's why you threatened me
Would I stay?
Said I was sick, and I'd be alone
Said my mind was not my own
I didn't learn...
You crawled up on your knees
A victim's pretty-please
Would I stay?
Would I stay?
And I stayed...

(How many more times)
How many more times
Till I broke down
From that guilty mess?
(How many more times)
You taught me to hate to love you
That's because you love to hate yourself

I wish it had a happy end
Like the fairy tales pretend
There can be
But things are not the same
When your life love was a game
Of make-believe
You've got everything you want
But not everything you need
And it's true...
You receive
What you achieve

(How many more times)
How many screaming fights (screaming fights)
Tears of rage
Until it ended?
(How many more times)
How many more times
Till I say who I am
And don't pretend?

(How many more times)
How many more times
Till I broke out
Of that guilty mess?
(How many more times)
How many more times
Till I say who I am
And don't pretend?

5. Solar Confinement

Trapped inside a web of fiery gravity that fuels all our needs
Chaotic energy that sucks the life from H to He
All life withers in the sun – I deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights in roaring halls of crimson fire

Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares ooh

I've slept with many strangers so fission, fusion, fission makes good sense
Where I laid my head, my troubles I'll put down to experience
It's warm and lonely in the sun – I deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights in roaring halls of crimson fire

Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares
Solar distress flares ooh

A lonely boy sits in his room
His curtains hide the sun
Confess to what you've done
And no one understands

Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares
Solar distress flares
Solar distress flares ooh

6. Dreamstate

Well, you bred me
Well, you fed me
Well, you made me what I am
Something for nothing
Good for nothing
Well...

It's a dreamstate – a dreamstate
To kill me with kindness, you'll just have to wait

You say I'm nothing
You say I'm nothing
Never gonna be something
Well, then, that's the life for me
Your expectations
Your reservations
Aw, c'mon, please...

It's a dreamstate – a dreamstate
You brought it to the vision so you don't have to wait
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate...

Now I'm standing up here before the judge
Jury's got their head where the sun don't shine
Everybody's lying on my case they're
Lying on they're lying on they're lying on they're
Lying on my case...

Eyes above me
Eyes above me
Never realized there was someone else in here
No resolution
And no conclusion
Do I believe (do I believe)

In a dreamstate – a dreamstate
You fell for it, sucker, you fell for the bait
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate...
A dreamstate...

7. I Will Not Accept The Truth

I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth...

That I'll never get there
Never get there yeh yeah

I must not push forward, no
I must not push forward, no
I must not push forward, no...

'Cos I'll never get there
I'll never get there, no way...

I will not believe your lies
I will not believe your lies
I will not believe your lies...

You say I'll never get there
Never get there (somewhere)

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on...

I will not accept your truth
I will not believe your lies
I will not acknowledge pain
I will survive and live again

Coming back now (coming back now)
Rising up now, lord (rising up now)

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth

8. Inside The Machine

I've got myself a widget
A gizmo with wires, and Martian intent, yeah
Strange face of beauty
That's my machine
It blinks and stares right at me
Sees nothing, but in its wires
A strange thing of beauty
That's my machine

You won't believe what it can do
It tells me things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror, when you ask, it tells you true

Inside the machine
The web has got you now
Inside the machine
Yeeeeeah...

I'd strap my DNA to it
A living device, the light of my life, yeah
Strange face of beauty
That's my machine
I sit, we crackle with static
It makes no sense to have experience when
A strange thing of beauty
That's my machine

You won't believe what it can do
It tells me things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror, when you ask, it tells you true

Inside the machine
We're looking for control
Inside the machine
You're part of it somehow
Inside the machine
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Inside the machine
The web has got you now
Inside the machine
You're part of it somehow
Inside the machine
We're looking for control
Inside the machine
Yeah...

9. Headswitch

What would induce you to swear your allegiance to God, tonight?
Joined at the hip to a million-volt switch of the light – alright

You want to find out
What the planet's about?
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...

Your eyes are black as they see the red ball of the sun
And they're blind
Dribbling with come as the volts start to arc through your mind
Cruel, but it's kind

Like father, like son
Chop off the head, but the body lives on
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...

Like father, like son
Chop off the head and the body lives on
Heaven that made you has screwed you and laughed
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...

10. Meltdown

Hey, you wait
Cringing in the dark
You create
What you always fear
A puppet of hatred
Dishing out poison

You use me for bait (bait)
Your begging bowl of lies
Chain letters
Of sniveling compromise
I can smell the difference
Your truth and your fiction
You and your twisted convictions

Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling... out of my head?

Cold
Like your blood
The snake is always cool
When things get tough
You slither on the ground
You cover up your tracks
When I'm around

It's over
Now, my friend
Your dog has had its day
It's payback time
For what you had to say
You're stuck with the life you made
Stuck with the plans you made
Stuck with everything you are

Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling... out of my head?

Everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen right now

Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling... out of my head?
Crawling (crawling)
Calling (calling)
Out of my head (head)
Crawling (crawling)
Calling (calling)
Out of my head

11. Octavia

I'm vacuum-breathing and open-mouthed
As the red shift fills my eyes
Minister my promises
As her shadow cuts the day away

I remembered you
As you walked into that room

Dislocated, jagged pieces
Are sliding into this broken mind
Swimming back against the river
But I'm rising with the tide

Where we came from
We're all going back there soon

How many times have we met this way?
How many lives have we lived before?
How many faces and how many names?
Shadows come, but shadows are gone
Shadows come, but shadows are gone

How many times have we met this way?
How many lives have we lived before?
How many faces and how many names?
Shadows come, but shadows are gone
Shadows come, but shadows are gone

12. Innerspace

I see the scars of action all writhing 'round your face
Too much inactivity and home's a lonely place
Throw away your beauty 'cos you know that it won't last
Throw away your present, you've been living in the past

C'mon, take a trip with me
Across the bridge of lunacy
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves

I've thrown away my images, they're all so distant now
Discovery was a stranger then, welcome to my house
Whatever demons torture me, I love them like a friend
Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change

I'd rather move around and be
Than figure out life and what it means
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
Don't wanna waste my time on you
If you can't travel this way too
Fire up some beast, we'll ride the skywaves

And when the fireball's work is done
And we are part of the nuclear one
The whole damn thing begins again

Our glory days have just begun
A fiery sideslip, then we're gone
I'll see ya Monday morning...

Anyway, I'm coming back
Anyway, I'm coming back...

13. Strange Death In Paradise

Spiralling, falling
A silver machine
From wings of freedom
Silent above
Eyelids were burning
Summer sun roasting
Tumbling chrome
In the clear blue sky
Brighter than sunshine
For all of our lifetimes
1000 stars turned day into night at the end

Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word

People were kissing in front of their shadows
Children were playing out in the yard
I am not guilty, I made no difference
I wasn't born and I wasn't made on that day

Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word

Strange death
In paradise
Strange death
In paradise
Strange death
In paradise
Strange death
In paradise
Strange death
In paradise
Strange death
In paradise
