Lyrics
Transmission
Inside beneath my skin
Lying dormant devoid of sin
Skin is crawling
I feel the urge
Left defenceless
Nowhere to turn
I am the void
I am the way
It’s calling
I am the void
I am the way
The way out from under here
Her transmission burns
Always
Divine im here within
Seeking solace from where ive been
Earth is moving
I’m standing firm
Here inside you
Nowhere to turn
I am the void
That’s left astray
It’s calling you
I am the hope that’s blown away
Ignited and blown away
Worlds Collide
Lies and deceit
are all I hear
clinging to life
too numb with fear
and all I see
Is Conflict
damage
treason
war
concrete
jungles
debris
and more
dispute
impair
battle
screams
blinded
deafness
tragic
scenes
I’m on your side
come on let me in
it’s cold outside
let’s begin
at times our worlds collide
but here within
I’m on your side
let me in
we are so high
too high to see
chaos abound
so lost it seems
and all we know
is difference
hostiles
tension
fear
betrayed
impaired
revolt
sears
violence
warfare
crippled
views
altered
stories
evening
news
I’m on your side
come on let me in
it’s cold outside
let’s begin
at times our worlds collide
but here within
I’m on your side
let me in
vision unclear
a deafness ensues
is what your feeling
close to the truth ?
Notions of mistrust
I’ll show you the truth
I want to be nearer
want to be beside you
Destroyed
Technique bass keys drums
Swimming thoughts
that ring in my ears
drowning waves
they throw me clear
there was
technique bass keys drums
Destroyed.
So we go
into the night
hearts ablaze
no end in sight
there was
technique bass keys drums
Destroyed
The Last Resort
Right from the start
an end to my dreams
i’m feeling awake
but not as it seems
and I feel them getting closer
I feel them getting near
with every passing breath
as days turn into years
it’s quiet like a stranger
it’s hidden in your thoughts
our hearts aware of danger
is this the last resort ?
Is this the last resort ?
This is the last resort
Turning away
away from the shame
hide from yourself
i’m playing this game
and somewhere there is some place
that no one else can see
I crawl into the darkness
inside my memory
in places left with anger
the facts somehow distort
a step away from danger
is this the last resort ?
Is this our last resort ?
Is this the last resort?
This is our last resort
all the struggles
all of the tears
nights spent in anguish
alone with my fears
many shinning moments
sometimes we dare to dream
slip into illusion
it’s never what it seems
sometimes we dare to dream
it’s never what it seems
sometimes we dare to dream
this is our last resort
this is our last resort
this is the last resort
Cold Fire
cold fire
dark room
this life I never knew
within
without
is this what its about?
i am with you
i am with you now
are you with me
are you with me now?
cold fire
dark room
a truth i never knew
breathe in
breathe out
is this what it’s about?
i am with you
i am with you now
can you feel me
can you feel me now?
cold fire
dark room
a life i never knew
come free your mind
with me new life you’ll find
i am with you
i am with you now
are you with me?
can you feel me now?
can you feel me now?
Robot Human
Tired broken diplomats
running round with baseball bats
tv plays another cure
leaves you feeling insecure
metal birds fly in the sky
remotely via satellite
sun shines down and burns the ground
silence makes a deafening sound
two parts human
one part droid
almost human
seek destroy
two parts human
somewhat void
robot human
one part human
two parts droid
almost human
life devoid
sense of being
all destroyed
two parts human
find me on a map at sea
makes us all evolve believe
you have nothing else to fear
come closer I just want you near
floating out here in the stars
miles from earth yet close to mars
discovery a step to new
armies ready
are we through ?
two parts human
one part droid
almost human
seek destroy
two parts human
somewhat void
robot human
one part human
two parts droid
almost human
life devoid
sense of being
all destroyed
two parts human
robot human
Concrete And Gravity
Concrete and gravity
conquer in the end
I can see their fires
burning out at sea
their distant voices
calling out for me
But I must confess
that I give into fear
I give into fear
Impact – Society
white noise growing still
as my vision blurs
my mouth is dry
hands begin to shake
and I question why
that I can’t resist
take me out to sea
we are
concrete and gravity
Can I let go
and set me free
above the clouds
too far to see
here so high
the ground below
one last breath
I can’t let go
I feel so low
I cannot breathe
fears compounding
will you rescue me ?
I can’t let go
we are
concrete and gravity
Ease The Pain
Pain of realization
A truth you cannot cure
Hide in desperation
Can’t face the world no more
Gone are expectations
And hopes of days gone by
In this cold frustration
Here underneath
Underneath i lie
To you i now surrender
To you i now belong
A life i once remembered
For now it’s all gone wrong
The truths we speak are hollow
Despite the words we say
A bitter pill to swallow
Here on my knees
On my knees i pray
We ease the pain
Find a cure
When I'm Gone
stay alive
for today
sleeping my
days away
things from afar
aren’t what they seem
leaves a path
of broken dreams
all your time
wasted here
come so far
still no near
to all the things you desire
watch the flames
take me higher
when i’m gone
life goes on
when I’m gone
life goes on
on and on
on and on
on and on
somewhat vague
or untrue
lost in time
thoughts of you
and who you are
where you have been
what you know
things you’ve seen
when i’m gone
life goes on
when I’m gone
life goes on
on and on
on and on
on and on
though i’m here
wondering
what’s it take
make it real
immortalize
specify
idolize
open eyes
when i’m gone
life goes on
on and on
on and on
on and on
Memorabillia
Everywhere I go
I take a little piece of you
I collect, I reject
Photographs I took of you
Towns that I passed through
I’ve got to have a memory
Or I have never been there
I have never had you, had you, had you
I can’t remember
Give me a reminder
I collect, I reject
Memorabilia
Memorabilia
I like little bits of glassware
Ashtrays with inscriptions
Plastic things on pencils
Bits of mass production
Postcards, pretty pictures
Little bits of plastic
Covering up the bedroom
To show you I’ve been there
To show you I’ve been there
Keychains and snowstorms
Keychains and snowstorms
Give me a reminder
Give me a reminder
Memorabilia, memorabilia
Keychains and snowstorms
Memorabilia, memorabilia
I can’t remember
Give me a reminder
I collect, I reject
Photographs I took of you
Towns that I passed through
I’ve got to have a memory
Or I have never been there
I have never had you, had you, had you
I can’t remember
Give me a reminder
I collect, I reject
Memorabilia
Memorabilia
Castanets, mantillas
Torremolinos
Castanets and plastic pens
Torremolinos
I collect
I reject
