Come see the fool
He'll swindle you out of the game Bow down to him But don't ever give him your name He stole it from somebody else He can fake it forever The sugar and void in the holdall It's pulling me down to you level One at a time I will take you all on If you've got the time then I've got the inclination Don't hold it back Just say what you really think One at a time please spare me It's the open sеason, yeah You gave me a part in a moviе And I gave you a target to aim at One at a time I will take you all on If you've got the time then I've got the inclination Inclination 02. What Life Brings Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Were you standing in the haze?
The oscillating sunset fades In the autumn past Knowing it won't last Gone but that's just too bad Cause that's what life brings Were you a bird that fell to earth? Or just a tremor in my nerves? That will soon pass on When the shadows grow long There's no need to be strong When you're lost in dream fog Were you standing in the haze? The oscillating sunset fades In the Autumn past Knowing it won't last (won't last) Gone but that's just too bad Cause that's what life brings Love it all Love it all and hold it in your hands Love it all (Love it all) Love it all (Lovе it all) and hold it in your hands Love it all (Love it all) Love it all (Love it all) and hold it in your hands (hold it in your hands) 03. Economies Of Scale Music by Steven Wilson Lyrics by Steven Wilson & Adam Holzman
Black freighter regale
Is lost in fog Moving testament To all that's lost And I try to close my palm Don't stumble Don't idle God willing we'll get through this Just more things that won't be missed Economy Economy of scale (Led to) Economy of scale Economy of scale (Led to) Economy of scale Economy of scale (Led to) Economy of scale Economy of scale (Led to) Economy of scale Economy of scale (Led to) Economy of scale Economy of scale (Led to) Economy of scale Economy of scale (Led to) Economy An evening in decline A cigarette unwinds One moment just passes through All time leaves is me and you 04. Impossible Tightrope Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Harmony little sister
Find your way through the fog A bed of silence. The howl of the wind 05. Rock Bottom Music & lyrics by Ninet Tayeb
[Ninet Tayeb]
I feel it I feel it in my bones New life the unknown New life I will return Don't lose hope Don't lose hope Don't lose hope Stay alive Stay alive I feel it I feel it in my bones New life the unknown New life I will return Don't lose hope Don't lose hope Don't lose hope Stay alive Stay alive [Steven Wilson] I feel it I feel it in my bones New life the unknown New life I will return Don't lose hope Don't lose hope Don't lose hope Stay alive Stay alive [Ninet Tayeb & Steven Wilson] (Don't lose hopе) And all you want to do is to fall (Don't lose hope) (Don't lose hopе) Break apart Close your heart Surrender and let the bottom rock Break apart, Break apart [Ninet Tayeb & Steven Wilson] Break apart, Break apart Break apart, Break apart Break apart, Break apart (Don't lose hope) Break apart (Don't lose hope), Break apart (Don't lose hope) [Ninet Tayeb] I feel it I feel it in my bones New life the unknown New life I'm coming home 06. Beautiful Scarecrow Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Pull off my legs
Pull off my wings You beautiful scarecrow, you pulled the strings You deep in the shed, you deep in there You want odd things, you can never get You spend the hour You suck the air from the room and give me cause to doubt And here you are in your new carrier You leave them all behind You're such a bad idea You twist the face, you twist the fence You're lashing out to see how I react You never wanted, you never lived You're a beautiful scarecrow, you'rе unimpaired No longer slaves But just a lonely souls took their place And here you are a charming racketeer You leave them all behind, you're such a bad idea 07. The Harmony Codex Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
It seems I’m miles above the surface of the earth
I can see across the whole of London and beyond Lights from a thousand cities Towering buildings in far off places Ships and thunderstorms at sea and beyond A trillion stars in a billion galaxies I gaze out across the millennia it took the light from these Stars to reach the earth I close my eyes And breathe I came here searching for something But I don’t remember what that thing is anymore Did I dream you? Or are you dreaming me now? As your waking thoughts gradually take over As all dreams are ultimately forgotten And lost 08. Time Is Running Out Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
A cigarette on a summer night
Like the short lived soul of the man inside And the noise that you hear as you write off another year You just lean into the rain Pull your head down put your head upon the rail Now you realise that God has let you down Cos time is running out You startled deer in the headlights You had a panic attack midway through the flight You're spending time on the same website Taking issue and picking fights Cos you no longer care if you're well liked But you brood endlessly for your own plight Cos timе is running out The future now and the poison girls Taking on thе kick inside and a war of worlds And the sound that you hear as you pass through another year You're thinking maybe it's too late To raise your head and conjure up some kind of break Cos it's just rock'n'roll with no quality control And time is running out... 09. Actual Brutal Facts Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Condescending will as condescending does
You've got a pretty solid habit for killing the buzz An electrician or a secret millionaire A tacky statue on a forecourt in Bel-Air No plastic surgery, no tattoo on the brain You drag the passing years behind you on a ball and chain Squander this and that, the feted and the hated And when you turn the shit to gold it's not appreciated And when you turn the shit to gold it's not appreciated (A pretty solid habit for killing the buzz) It's for the underdogs the ones that disappear It's in your gut you feel the splendour of the fear Sayonara is the nature of the beast It's mine to leave behind a merciful release Misappropriation, take the credit, pay the income tax Misdirection from the actual brutal facts You preach the truth through gritted teeth, you want a fucking medal You've got a belly full of guns that doesn't make you special Condescending will as condescending does You've got a pretty solid habit for killing the buzz An electrician or a secret millionaire A tacky statue on a forecourt in Bel-Air No plastic surgery, no tattoo on the brain You drag the passing years behind you on a ball and chain Squander this and that, the feted and the hated And when you turn the shit to gold it's not appreciated And when you turn the shit to gold it's not appreciated And when you turn the shit to gold it's not appreciated 10. Staircase Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Automaton drone
You're lost with no phone And the home you made your own Can never be paid for The great in the small The rise and the fall And you come back for more The need to belong And the will to do no wrong The ones that you lost Abandoned or crossed Will haunt you Plagued by poor health But you stockpile more wealth Congratulate yourself A sense of proportion An act of extortion There's too much distortion You sink in stages As you're approaching middle ages You're up to here in debt Insidious tech You're up to your neck Why don't you give it a rest? A train set A cold war threat A prison A poison nest A chrome cassette Division The blue and white A power strike A girl you like The daylight fades You feel your way Daguerreotype The power of nature And the oppression of strangers The consequence of dread A barbarous brain A dominant strain You'll never win this game |
