1. Touch

Catatonic listless creature
Try to comprehend
Everything you've ever wanted
Is around the next bend
Is around the next bend

So don't try to fake it
'Cause I see you shaking

Look at you, the freak attraction
In this carnival of souls
Failing all negotiations
You'll be the next sold
You'll be the next sold

So don't try to fake it
'Cause I see you shaking
It don't mean a thing

Now, love, don't make a sound
Reach down and touch the ground now

Emptiness is almost certain
The automatic dream
You're closing in on the final curtain
You're on the next scene
You're on the next scene

So don't try to fake it
'Cause I see you shaking
It don't mean a thing

Now, love, don't make a sound
Reach down and touch the ground
Now, love, don't make a sound
Reach down and touch the ground now

Now, love, don't make a sound
Reach down and touch the ground
Now, love, don't make a sound
Reach down and touch the ground now

Now, love, don't make a sound
Now, love, don't make a sound
Now, love, don't make a sound
Reach down and touch the ground now

2. Underground

Now I don't need your redemption
I don't need you to deceive me
And I don't need your forgiveness
I only want you to believe me

You see me here, I'm standing naked
You see me here on my knees

Now all my life I've been wandering
Looking for teachers with the keys
Nothing found, still searching for sound
Underground

So let me tell you about a story
It's about a man consumed with vice
He's theosophical in nature
And hedonistic in disguise

And all his life he's been wandering
Looking for teachers with the keys
Nothing found, still searching for sound
Underground

Now I don't need your redemption
I don't want you to deceive me
And I don't need your forgiveness
I only want you to believe me

That all my life I've been wandering
Looking for teachers with the keys
Nothing found, still searching for sound
Underground

And all my life I've been wandering
Looking for teachers with the keys
Nothing found, still searching for sound
Underground
Underground
Underground

3. Great Big Lie

God is pressure
God is pressure more or less
It takes a lifetime
A life of lies to make a mess

Ah, but you suffer
I see you suffer with a smile
Well, look around yourself
Baby, don't you think you're in denial

And it hurts so bad
To see your garden of debris
Don't make a move now
It could be the thing that sets you free

Just say you didn't mean it
All you say now is a great big lie
Just say you didn't mean it
It's a great big lie

You pulled the plug
You pulled the plug to save your face
I'd be the first
To re-conciliate the grace

Ah, but you suffer
I see you suffer with a smile
Well, look around yourself
Baby, don't you think you're in denial

Just say you didn't mean it
All you say now is a great big lie
Just say you didn't mean it
It's a great big lie

Just say you didn't mean it
And you still deny
Just say you didn't mean it
It's a great big lie

Just say you didn't mean it
All you say now is a great big lie
Just say you didn't mean it
It's a great big lie

Just say you didn't mean it
And you still deny
Just say you didn't mean it
It's a great big lie

Just say you didn't mean it

4. Heaven Coming Down

With nothing to do
You'd waste away
Obscured in exile
They've witnessed the times
You've gone astray
And whose fault? Now you're thinking

Ah, there's nothing to prove
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby

And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down

So strange are the ways
They all have changed
Still life, it stayed the same
A break from the past
Could make it last
Oh, maybe just a little longer

Now there's nothing to prove
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby

And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground

You surrender
Love under will
Rest assured
Baby, you're adored

And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground

These signs, this fate
Takes a path you didn't choose
Stay strong, keep faith
There's a change that's coming through

Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down

5. The Halcyon Days

Alone, left here in dust
Amidst my fears and doubts
Life's shattered dreams
I could have done without

Now chthonic life has set its sights
On making me a slave to its ways
I wait for return, until then, my soul, it burns
And it burns only for you

And I'll be with you soon
And I'll be with you soon

Night, it falls on me endlessly
And I search for you in this blindness
I'm a prodigy of lust and loss
Till sleep comes down

I can't explain, but disdain remains
Some treason, I can't reason
They left me here, for dead, my dear
Barely breathing, but I'm still breathing

And I'll be with you soon

I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days

I'm crawling now, up towards the sound
Of vengeance, moving swiftly
I've conquered fear, I've shed my tears
Now I'm seething, and I'm still breathing

And I'll be with you soon

I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days

I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days

6. The Messenger

Got a letter from a messenger
I read it when it came
It said that you were wounded
You were bound and chained
You had love and you were handled
You were poisoned, you were pained
Oh, no, oh, no
You were naked, you were shamed

You could almost touch heaven
Right there in front of you
Liberty just slipped away on us
Now there's so much work to do
Oh, the door that closes tightly
Is the door than can swing wide
Oh, no, oh, no
Not expecting to collide

For a minute I let my guard down
Not afraid to be found out
I completely forgot, dear
What our fears were all about
Oh, no, oh, no
There's no need to be without

If there's a chance I would take it
This desire I can't kill, no
Take my heart, please don't break it
I will crawl to your foothill
I'm frightened but I'm coming
Please, baby, please lay still
Oh, no, oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill
Oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill
Oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill

7. Samsara

Please would you tell me, my friend
Which direction's the way
'Cause I'm lost, I'm confused
This reality we choose
Is a long, long way from the dream

All you'll feel is pain and suffering
Wading through Samsara

But I've heard that before
From those teachers of dreams
It's so cold and it's old
I just can't feel it in my soul
Am I damned to a life of extremes?

All you'll feel is pain and suffering
Wading through Samsara

All you'll feel is pain and suffering
Wading through Samsara

But I've looked to the east
And I've prayed in the west
What I know, what I've seen
You just couldn't imagine where I've been
And I feel at this time I just need to rest

And I'd like to stay here
I would love to stay here
Would you let me stay here please?

8. A Slight Attack

Demonic little love god
Do you want to see me bleed
Anarchistic little beggar man
Now you want a piece of me

You're just a lot of talk
With not a lot of sense
Another slight attack
You've got me hanging from the fence

All the tears will fall
And the tears will fall
You say these tears will wash away the stains

Just a chronic little liar
A sentinel of farce
Integrity's a fairytale
It makes me wonder who you are

Just another creed
Shame it's gone to the seed
Another slight attack
Could be the thing you need

All the tears will fall
And the tears will fall
You say these tears will wash away the stains

Tell me now
Do you feel no shame?
When it all falls through
Will you feel this way?

Brace yourself with arrogance
In case you see the light
you'll be hanging like a scarecrow
Waiting for the second sight

You're furious with envy
The token of the charm
Another slight attack
Now should you be alarmed

All the tears will fall
And the tears will fall
You say these tears will wash away the stains

Tell me now
Do you feel no shame?
When it all falls through
Will you feel this way?

Tell me now
Do you feel no shame?
When it all falls through
Will you feel this way?

Demonic little love god
Do you want to see me bleed
Anarchistic little beggar man
Now you want a piece of me

You're just a lot of talk
With not a lot of sense
Another slight attack
You've got me hanging from the fence

And now you've got to sweat it out
And now you've got to sweat it out
And now you've got to sweat it out
It's just a slight attack

9. Taking Me Away

A view from a broken window
I can hardly breathe
Clouds are forming faces
And they laugh at me

Strange desires
Under friendly fire
It's all right
It still feels nice

It's taking me away
It's taking me away
Seeking shelter from the pain

It gives me a line, I cross it
An acrobat graced with skill
Getting your freedom's easy
Surviving, it's harder still

Strange desires
Under friendly fire
It's all right
It still feels nice now

It's taking me away
It's taking me away
Seeking shelter from the pain
I'm holding on again
Holding on again
Seeking shelter from the pain

And the race is on
I'm out of sync now
And the hands withdraw
I'm out of sync now
Is there nothing more
Something more

It's taking me away
It's taking me away
Seeking shelter from the pain
Taking me away
It's taking me away
Seeking shelter from the pain

It's taking me

10. These Living Arms

So a crowd has gathered round us
I'm pining one last kiss
Struggling with this lifeline
In the shadow of this bliss

Patience, my love
Patience, my love
It'll all be all right

Ain't it funny how the fates work
I feel cheated by the turn
But this love, it hovers over us
And the lessons that we've learned

Patience, my love
Patience, my love

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on
Oh, hold on

We were lost inside a wasteland
Of fools groping for the gold
I wonder if they'll think of us
While they're searching for their souls

Patience, my love
Patience, my love

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on

May nothing harm you
I'm still inside you
With my wings around you

So never put it out, my love
The spirit is the flame that burns within
Hold on to it, it'll all work out fine
Sleep now is descending like a dream
Still I'm shaking from the softness of your skin
Hold on to me, love, and make it all feel all right

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on

May nothing harm you
I'm still inside you
With my wings around you

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on

Sweet lover, go on
Sweet lover, go on
Oh, love, be strong

11. Chimera

You say it's all about intention
A chimera in disguise
It's about your life, the greed
The loneliness it needs now
Just to say you've claimed the prize
Of letting go

You say it's all about your virtue now
Like a harlequin of shame
You look around, you hear the sound
Your intention's gone aground now
Because it's all about the fame

And now you're letting go
But it's a little late
There's little time to show

So tell me now
Would you do it all again?

You say it's all about forgiveness now
Well, you can grovel if you'd like
But turn around, do you hear that sound?
That's integrity gone aground now
In the name of sacrifice

And now you're letting go
But it's a little late
There's little time to show

So tell me now
Would you do it all again?
Could you do it all again?
Would you do it all again?

Would you do it all again?
Could you do it all again?
Would you do it all again?
Would you do it all again?

12. Gone

Broken moments in time
Could still shine
But they're getting old
If you could see the world with my eyes
You'd be so surprised
At what you'd know

So if you see my angel of light
With her sweet wine
Could you let me know?
Because I, I think she's gone again
I think she's gone again

Fatal are these moments of trust
That please us
And who would know?
Helpless in these passions of life
Now strife
Won't let me go

So if you see my angel of light
With her sweet wine
I think she needs to know
That I've gone again
I'm really gone again
I think I'm gone again

Fatal are these moments of trust
That please us
And who would know?
Helpless in these passions of life
Now strife
Won't let me go

So if you see my angel of light
With her sweet wine
I think she needs to know
That I've gone again
I'm really gone again
I think I'm gone again

Oh, so lonely
Oh, so lonely
