2. Phenomenon

Safe from all the hurting safe from all the lies
Locked myself away now blindfold on my eyes
Lost in your predictions fiction from the stars
Bound to be your destiny you know who you are

Someone stopped the starlight loosened up the ties
Now the door is open open like my eyes

So if the sky's about to fall i'll still be up there flying
It's just the fear of what's in store that ever stops you trying
And if the storm throws you around it only makes you stronger
But when the stars come crashing down it's a phenomenon

Scared of all your visions scared of all you hear
Thought you'd bring security but all you brought was fear
Someone stopped the starlight brought me back to life
Set me free from your deceit threw away the lies

So if the sky's about to fall i'll still be up there flying
It's just the fear of what's in store that ever stops you trying
And if the storm throws you around it only makes you stronger
But when the stars come crashing down it's a phenomenon

I don't want many things just a chance to spread my wings
Don't know what the future brings but I want to be there

Someone stopped the starlight loosened up the ties
Now the door is open open like my eyes

So if the sky's about to fall i'll still be up there flying
It's just the fear of what's in store that ever stops you trying
And if the storm throws you around it only makes you stronger
But when the stars come crashing down it's a phenomenon

3. Oceanbound

every time i try to climb a mountain
all i find are steeper ones ahead
every time i walk along the highway
all you do is push me to the edge
i'm not afraid

let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head
won't deny my one devotion lose or win cos i'm not scared

the higher up you build your walls around me
the higher i discover how to fly
i'm not afraid

let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head
won't deny my one devotion lose or win cos i'm not scared

i know the truth of my conscience and i know the lies of my sign
i know how it feels to be wanting and i know of the fullness of time

i feel a storm across my face as night is falling
and i can't see to carry on
i know the emptiness of space can hear me calling
but i don't know what lies beyond

i dream of a world without shadows and i dream of a day without pain
i long for perpetual motion and i dream of living again

every time i try to climb the mountain
nothing in the world can pull me down
i'm not afraid

let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head
won't deny my one devotion lose or win cos i'm not scared

4. Choices

Each new life killing time
They must wait can't escape
Clinging on each sad song
Swells the throng millions strong

Unaware if they care
Am I real if I feel?

I'm looking past the edge of you and all I see is black
What you steal is energy and you won't give it back
Intimidate interrogate poor you remain aloof
The drama of your misery played out since your youth

Waiting for the first insight

How can I explain my kingdom remains?
If I die again the choices

I'm looking for coincidence before it gets too late
I've been in this rut for so long I'm starting to stagnate
I need to find a way out soon I really have to try
Is it possible to be alive not noticing you've died?

Waiting for the first insight

How can I explain? my kingdom remains
If I die again the choices

You're ever so clever and if you're not clever
You'll never get into heaven again

Searching for the tenth insight

How can I explain my kingdom remains?
If I die again the choices

5. Angels

you used to call me different like there was something wrong
a vanishing of reason a soon forgotten song
you used to call me special when i was very small
but now i'm old i should have known
you don't call me any more
and every day you turn away from everything you know
and every night you fade your light soon you won't know where to go

angels calling at my door
i don't know what scares me more
going where they call me to
or staying on this world with you

you used to call me baby but now i'm fully grown
now you're old your eyes are cold and you are so alone
you don't believe your visions you don't believe your son
you don't believe in anything but what your hands have done
and every day you turn away from everything you've heard
and every night you close your eyes and hide your face from every word

angels calling at my door
i don't know what scares me more
going where they call me to
or staying on this world with you

don't you here my gentle voice i'm calling your name
only just a whisper but you know what i'm saying
you are worth so much to me much more than you know
all you've got to do is choose the way that you go

and when you're lost in me i will be found in you
and when i'm found in you the truth will set you free

don't you be so terrified i'll do you no wrong
i don't want to crucify but help you along
you've been losing out on so much more than you know
you've been choosing dangerous paths instead of my road

and when you're lost in me i will be found in you
and when i'm found in you the truth will set you free

angels calling at my door
i don't know what scares me more
going where they call me to
or staying on this world with you

6. Falling Away

There's a fire by the wayside
And it burns so bright
As the smoke rolls over us
We think that we're bathing in light
As we tend to our gardens
The world is growing wild
But we live in our tiny heads
And can't see past our own tiny minds

As we turn away from heaven's bright sun
To earth's dark star

We're powerless we're paranoid
We'll never know what we destroyed
We're arrogant so ignorant
We're falling falling away

So we stop by the wayside
And we think we're smart
We vote for the pretty ones
And curse when the world falls apart
And we swear we'll do better
But the sky's about to fall
So the smoke rolls over us
And we are doing nothing at all

We turned away from heaven's bright sun
So here we are

We're powerless we're paranoid
We'll never know what we destroyed
We're arrogant so ignorant
We're falling falling away

We're breaking we're stalling
We're drifting we're falling
We're headstrong for so long
We're always falling away

7. Virtual Isolation

we long for a place of constant perfection
where action and outcome have exclusive protection
like in a dream of the waking mind
life with a freedom that is so hard to find
i cannot dream no more, my mind is a blank

virtuality, electrons running round my brain
virtuality, cybersex without the pain
virtuality, life can never be the same
virtuality, rock and roll without the fame

i am wired into the electronic drain
my mind is part of a gigantic mainframe
melding my consciousness with input so profound
relying on program for every sight and sound
i cannot dream no more, my mind is a blank

virtuality, electrons running round my brain
virtuality, cybersex without the pain
virtuality, life can never be the same
virtuality, rock and roll

cd rom drive me far away
hard discoveries in hyperspace
don't delete me i am no sprite
girlfriend's fat agnes chip burning bright
i have immersed myself in the isolation tank

virtuality, electrons running round my brain
virtuality, cybersex without the pain
virtuality, life can never be the same
virtuality, rock and roll

8. Innocent

picture time as before where you slept through it all
they believe you were there why deny what i said?
vicious lies being heard you stand there how absurd
and with hate in your mind convict me

take my life away or give back the answer you hold
and stand unashamed of what you have done
don't just walk away unlock the chains from your heart
prove my innocence cause i did no wrong

empty words lies from the start? we stood strong never apart
had it all in our hands we had it all, yes you and me
now the tables have turned all i gave you return
makes it hard to believe what you've done to me

don't call me your friend, won't you understand I don't need

take my life away or give back the answer you hold
and stand unashamed of what you have done
don't just walk away unlock the chains from your heart
prove my innocence cause i did no wrong

9. Long Way Home

i thought that you were driving or never thought to ask
all the while you left me in control
somehow i'm surviving it doesn't seem so hard
cos i'm not on this journey all alone

and i know the way i'm feeling but i just can't find the words

i go my own way down i fall again
i see the sunrise only taste the rain
what you remind me i already know
unless i follow every road with you
i take the long way home

you weren't supposed to find me i tried so hard to hide
i never thought you'd want to track me down
i thought that you disowned me every time i strayed
i guess i had it all the wrong way round

and i know the way i'm going but i just can't find the road

i go my own way down i fall again
i see the sunrise only taste the rain
what you remind me i already know
unless i follow every road with you
i take the long way home

and i know that i believe you but i just can't keep the faith

i go my own way down i fall again
i see the sunrise only taste the rain
what you remind me i already know
unless i follow every road with you
i take the long way home

10. Fragmentation

We are fragmented
Clinging on to a concept known as how
Drifting through dimensions
In a place which we call now

Simply unaware
Of what goes on above beyond and before
Behind us fly the ragged fragments
Of what should have been much more

Been much more
So unsure
Opening doors

Separate entities in ebb and flow
Fragmentation
Diverse quantities behind us show
Fragmentation

We thought that we would live forever
Now we're mortals like the rest
We were lion hearted fighters
Who were never put to the test

Can't foresee the end but it's round the bend
And it's putting us to flight
I would go with you if you asked me to
And you're frightened that I might

I just might
Souls in flight
Just not right

Separate entities in ebb and flow
Fragmentation
Diverse quantities behind us show
Fragmentation

Half of a fantasy but I never got
Half of the fanta see? but I never got
Half of the fans to see but I never got
Half of the van to sing but I never got
No I never ever never got
Half of the fantasy but I never got
Half of the band to see but I never got
Half of the fans to sing but I never got
Half of the royalties no I never got

It's time to reconvene the wolf pack
And gather these disparate parts
And to exorcise the maniac
And separate these scars

Let my blood flow fast
And neutralise the yearning in my heart
Let my spirit fill with energy
Like its waiting for the start

For the start
A broken heart
Torn apart

Separate entities in ebb and flow
Fragmentation
Diverse quantities behind us show
Fragmentation

12. Clear

as a child i recall i had once believed
i would die before i reached seventeen
seventeen i remember i faced the truth
when i understood your prophecy was confused
when all is done there is little that can guide everyone along
the faltered line you mumbled on the day you left us behind

nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
nothing is clear though you promised me
you promised me that you'd be here
nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
though nothing was clear

as a child hope is what keeps us young
like a fuel it will burn until you are strong
if you're weak you'll never see past the day
like a cynic you will probably feel betrayed
if one thing's clear there is certainly little of value here
and when we die inevitably we're leaving all this behind

nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
nothing is clear though you promised me
you promised me that you'd be here
nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
though nothing was clear

13. Life Flow

don't look down upon the atmosphere
wings of stealth are broken dreams
don't look back upon your learned years
you seem blind to what you've seen
now i see how far the ground
has fallen down and round and round

time is a river and life flows away
into the valley of dreams you've made
soon i'll be surfing that cold astral plane
where the dreams and the nightmares are one and the same

don't look now upon your history
dead end streets of futures spurned
don't look up to all you wish to be
winding path of your sojourn
can you see how far the ground
has fallen down and round and round

time is a river and life flows away
into the valley of dreams you've made
soon i'll be surfing that cold astral plane
where the dreams and the nightmares are one and the same

14. Narcissus

caught in the headlamp glare of your own blinding vanity
mesmerised by the stare of your shallow personality
gorging the junk food of flattery you drag your fat ego around
everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around

trapped in the personal hell of your own desperate addiction
frightened that others can tell of your expensive affliction
with your happiness based on a chemical you wax lyrical with words so profound
when your indulgence reaches that level it's safest not to be around

oh narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die

wrapped in the transparent lies of your desperate situation
you expound on imaginary ties expecting us to believe them
in the absence of concrete commitment
you've all the attention that money can buy
not caring that those who still love you are callously thrown to one side

oh narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die
oh narcissus you treacherous child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die

hey you dog man whelp of a litter of scavengers
bolting the flesh of your victims with a ravenous greed
you work with your siblings up to a point
'til your ego is sated or your wallet fulfilled
jealously guarding the bones of your kill
with a malice that's born out of fear

running with the pack your defence is to attack
but i detect you in your stealth because you've rolled in your own filth
you hope to gain my trust with your cowardly disguise
whispering such confidences my revulsion to a-wreck

you call yourself my friend you call yourself my friend
and when i turn my back your fangs will feel my neck
what is your domain but a barn where your runts roll in the reek
you would seek to steel my freedom and have branded me a freak
i want nothing of your snarling mongrel strain your smarmy doggerel lies
and if these words have singed your fur consider yourself a whipped cur

gorging the junk food of flattery you haul your fat ego around
everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around

oh narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die

15. Sunseeker

i've spread my wings i've cut the strings
my puppet days have died
i've prayed until i have free will i've shut out all the lies
i can't make sense of fate's portents on patterns i've relied
i've given in my demon twin lies dying by my side
the future is a mystery now the stars have turned to grey
my freedom rests on knowing how to think and do and say

sun-sign believers enlightenment achievers
you strange deceivers you are not my kind
sun-sign believers speaking tongue receivers
tarot card faith healers the blind leading the blind

''do what thou wilt'' the blood was spilt an ego thus caressed
accepting none but only one is where my freedom rests
presenting now the sacred cow ''you cannot trust free will''
they stand in line of their birth signs their emptiness is shrill
their clockwise universe is ticking out their lives
an orgy of pre-destiny held by threads of time

sun-sign believers enlightenment achievers
you strange deceivers you are not my kind
sun-sign believers speaking tongue receivers
tarot card faith healers the blind leading the blind

we must invent again ourselves
become the sum total of our perceptions
do not react as you did yesterday
don't you become a slave to your memories

sun-sign believers enlightenment achievers
you strange deceivers you are not my kind
sun-sign believers speaking tongue receivers
tarot card faith healers the blind leading the blind

16. The Latent Gene

mary's baby's eyes are blue he is to be the chosen few
there's just one thing she's got to do to conceive the latent gene
his absent father's watching him from a gene pool where a billion swim
where mutants form on just a whim and conceive the latent gene

my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin

mary's baby's eyes are green potential power still unseen
morals cleansed in ethylene and conceive the latent gene
mary's baby's eyes are black a dinucleic heart attack
and the doctor says he's coming back to conceive the latent gene

my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin

she hears a voice inside her head when all is quiet and she's in bed
it's hard for her to understand the mindspeak of her little man
how can a baby have two mothers adopted long before it's born
conceived by another and from a second torn

but in this safe and confined world within this cookoo's changing it's spots
an outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene
the doctor's scientific discipline can't stop him changing the plot
an outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene
faltering telepathy reaching out into his mother's mind

mary's baby's eyes are grey evolution gone astray
changes in his dna have conceived the latent gene

my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin

17. Light And Space

as you look on your surroundings from the mountain to the sea
you find everything i gave you you see everything but me
i am the storm that won't be calmed i am the calm that follows
i'm in the stars that fill your sky and when i choose

i'll be in your thoughts i'll be in your dreams
all the light you see all the air you breathe

as you look on all the hurting and the finger points at me
you see freedom in deserting and the cost of being free

i painted the heavens the sun and the moon
i know what's beyond them i know you
i know what's before you and what's going to be
but now is the moment you'll find me

and all that you ever thought will fall to the ground like snow
clearing the air you breathe whitening all you know
and all that you ever see is never the same again
your eyes will be open wide then you will understand

as your science takes you further you'll eventually concede
you can only scratch the surface i'm the one who's playing me
i am the road that won't be found i am the sign that guides you
i'm in the air that's all around and when i choose

i'll be in your thoughts i'll be in your dreams
all the light you see all the air you breathe

18. Sunrise On Mars

doctor found me just in time
can't recall how long i'd been lying there
he said my body mind and soul
had lost their true alignment
i thought i'd only hurt my head
the pain across my forehead reminded me
its hard to tell you where it hurts
but won't you make it go away
so far away and he said

smile pretend you're on a trip searching
for yourself connecting with your soul
close your eyes, your energy is gone
w can be your strength we have got control
we haven't got much time 'til sunrise on mars

never thought i'd fall from grace
never thought i'd damage and never heal
but everday i lose again, seduced by confusion
i thought the world was black and white
how can i escape from this colourfield
it's hard to tell you why it hurts
or how to make it go away
so far away and he said

come everyone who hurts
if you feel weighed down i will give you rest
you should take my yoke upon your back
learn from what i do my burden is less
and i'll restore your soul for sunrise on mars

never thought i'd make it home

19. Paradox

he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear

see him burning the fruits of his labours
and with joy in his heart digs the graves of those
that he's trying to save oh, self destruction's his aim
see the soil turn to dust see the steel turn to rust
killing all those he loves thanking god up above

the paradox of man the paradox of man
he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb
he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man

and he envies the power of his neighbours
and he still fails to see he's become his own
worst enemy oh, will he ever learn?
see the truth turn to lies see the greed in his eyes
wasting all that remains his soul trapped in chains

the paradox of man the paradox of man
he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear

soil turn to dust, can his power ever last?
the chains of his gain, reveal secrets of his past
bitter is his greed, but man will never pay
oh lead me through, lead me through, the faults of his rage

he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb
he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man

20. Sanity's End

he's just another victim of the system's bloody knife
a problem evader an escapee of life
a temporary soma not yet prescribed
has stripped him of ego with each lungful imbibed

get your mind-set altered here i will provide you with some fantastic gear
up down sideways forward and back our children submit to lysergic attack

hiding in tantric mesmerized trances
as the warehouse lightshow flickers and dances
synapses snap as his madness advances
leaving him open to paranoid fancies

lost in the garden of fantastic mind
I'm leaving my ego and body behind
trails of false images hang in the air
the smell of strange colours are heard everywhere
over the rainbow and into the light
i'm orbiting slowly, I'm high as a kite
can't remember my name anymore
everything's changed since i opened the door

get out demons get out controlling my brain
freak out healing freak out going insane
hit out feelings hit out cannot explain
reach out reeling reach out calling my name

for twenty-four hours time has no meaning
but several days later kicking and screaming
with delusions of grandeur and one o'clock fit
a family signed section has caught me in the net
can't seem to regain control of my fears
the world's receding and leaving me here

get out demons get out controlling my brain
freak out healing freak out going insane
hit out feelings hit out cannot explain
reach out reeling reach out calling my name

a shot of the hard stuff makes him tranquil and straight
no danger to public, himself or the state
under sedation he won't shed no tears
inwardly tortured by demonic fears

can't remember my name anymore
everything's changed since i opened the door

get out demons get out controlling my brain
freak out healing freak out going insane
hit out feelings hit out cannot explain
reach out reeling reach out calling my name

ravers, gyrators heaving with sweat
have you tried any good ecstasy yet?
if you don't wind up sleeping in gardens of stone
you'll be a new person if you ever get home

for the sake of your sanity, family and friends
leave subconscious travelling to gurus and men
who're prepared for the journey with no beginning or end
cuz a mind that is broken is a hard thing to mend
