01. Addicted!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Hey! You're awake!
And it keeps you where you're born to be,
You're afraid... he's afraid!
And it keeps your wants a-wanting...
Oh, let go!
You're the only thing that keeps you well controlled,
Self-control!
It will make sure we are one, you wanna see us!

Oh!
You're addicted!
Which makes it seem so hard to be your friend
You're addicted to your pain.
Benedict us!
Stay away from the pornography I'm saying:
"Let's be like the mountain!"

Om! Om! Om! Om!
Oh, oh, oh-o!
Om! Om! Om! Om!
Stay wise

Oh, let's go...
I will not choose, I will not know control!
Self-control!
We will make sure we are clear
You'll want to see us.

Oh!
We're addicted!
Which makes it seem so hard to be our friend
We're addicted to our pain.
Benedict us!
Stay away from the pornography I'm saying:
"You're addicted to our pain..."
Been a dick to us!
Stay away from the pornography I'm saying:
"Let's be like the mountain!"
Om! Om! Om! Om!

02. Universe in a Ball!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Universe in a ball
Universe in a ball
I found those foreign fantasies were free!
Universe in a ball
There's a universe in us all
I found him falling far away from me

Find your fantasies... we'll fight them... fight!
Find your fantasies... then fight them!!!

Universe in a ball
There's a universe in our soul
We found them falling far away from me!

Oh, search for home
We find... he's everyone around...

Are we all that we're meant to be when we're home, boy!
Although we've been wandering, we are home, boy!
Home we go! Home we go!

Universe in a ball
There's a universe in a ball
You'll find those foreign fantasies were Ki!

Find your fantasies... we'll fight them... fight
Find your fantasies then fight them (fight!!!)
Find your fantasies... then fight!
Find a way to resolve!

Are we all that we're meant to be when we're home, boy!
Although we've been wondering, we are home, boy!
Always!!! Always!!!
We must fight for what's worth fighting for!

03. Bend It Like Bender!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Hey boy!
Where are you going with that little toy?
You know it's heavy...
When we look into that open void!
...but animals don't think of it at all.
Hey boy!!! Hey boy!!! (one, two, three, four)

We are one and we have found
They only wanted you around
To hold it down so hold your ground
We won't be here forever

Hang on! Till the winner comes!

We are young and we have fun
And all we've found in being around
Is 'all in all' and 'Holy Cows'
While things keep getting heavy!

Hang on!
To your man and hang on!
To your woman and hang on!

04. Supercrush!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
So the time is right, so tell me if you wanna?
You should change it if you're gonna...
But I don't really know how... I've already tried...
Involve.

I don't want to save my soul now
I don't want to lose control
And even if it takes a lifetime to learn
I'll learn.

Don't fall in line... if you're thinking that you're gonna...
You should maybe think about a reason in your own mind...
You've already gone!
Evolve.

I don't wanna save my soul now
I just wanna lose control!
And even if it takes a lifetime to learn
I'll learn... I'll learn...
We learn

Here's our defense... heroes left you to die.
You left me to die!

I don't wanna save my soul now
I don't wanna lose control
So even if it takes our lifetime to learn... I'll learn... I'll learn...
We all learn!

05. Hyperdrive!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
So cold, in the night,
Where the river flows,
Where the river flows,
So cold, in the night,
Where the river flows,
Where the river flows,
Sail away,
Hey, I'm sorry,
Everyday is a new day.
Hooray for love,
Hey, I'm only,
Trying to find a new way.
So cold, in the night,
When the river's low,
When the river's low,
So cold, in the night,
Where the river flows,
Where the river flows,
So cold?
Shut it!
So cold, in the night,
Hold on
Hold on
So cold, in the night,
Hold on
Hold on
Sail away,
Hey I'm sorry,
Every day's a new day,
Hooray for love.
Hey I'm lonely
Trying to find a new way,
A new way...
A new way...

She loves me!

06. Resolve!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Turn your world around... Turn your world around and focus on the mind...
All of this surrounds, all of this abounds when we focus on the mind!
We rise!
We rise!
We rise!
I want resolve to receive what you'll be!
The ocean returns to the sea!
I want resolve to receive what you'll be!
The ocean returns to the sea!
I will not go!
I never!
I!
We rise!
We rise!
We rise!
I want resolve to receive what you'll be!
The ocean returns to the sea!
I want resolve to receive what you'll be!
The ocean returns to machine!
I will not go!
I never!
I!

07. Ih-Ah!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
As everything in life, comes together now
I need your mind
And everything is light, I remember now
I see you rise.
And all the lonely things, seem to want to change
I'll sleep on it tonight.
Ih-ah!
We don't even understand
Something's going on
We don't even understand
So how could this be wrong... ah!
Ih-ah!
I'm so in love with you
...how could I?
Ever be untrue.
Am I with you?
With everything I do.
God I love you.
I love you...
We don't even understand
Something's going on
We don't even understand
So how could we be wrong
We don't know or care
Somethings always there
We see it's in own our hands,
But we just don't understand.

08. The Way Home!

Music by Brian Waddell, Devin Townsend
Lyrics by Devin Townsend
The way home
Lined with all the things that you have learned.
The way home...
The lights are on, but we're still getting burned.
Show to me,
The way I found the grey lines honed.
So hollow now... show's over now...
The way I'm lighting all the faces you have turned.
The way is high.
Glad to know the greatest thing I knew... I always knew.
So hollow now...
Show's over now...
And I've wasted time on daylight...
I won't be knocked down, show the way.
(I've only time now)
So hollow now...
Show's over now...
And I've wasted time on daylight...
I won't be shown the way home.

09. Numbered!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Ah, we are numbered,
We are numb, we are not alone.
Ah, we are numbered.
We are numb, we are numb...
All the world's been waiting for a photograph.
All the time we've waited for a sign.
It'll soon be over, all I want is honesty.
It'll soon be over, all we've got is time.
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone!
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are numb.
Oh we search for home.
Only God knows God.
I'm alright to fly!
Only we both know we never once were right...
But we tried.
Timmy
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone!
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are numb.

10. Awake!

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Hey...
You're awake.
And you keeps you where you wanted to be known.
That's alright
You know that you've been framed.
All the way.
And it keeps you're wanting to be known.
But that's alright... you're only human, boy...
Take your inhibitions going home.
Hey! You're awake!
And that keeps you where you're wanting to be owned.
That's alright,
You're only evil...
'Eh' all the way!
And it keeps you where you wanting to be owned.
That's alright, you're only human boy,
So stay a while...
All the worlds a stage and we are home again!
All the worlds afraid but we are home again, home again!
Away from home? wait!
I died a little... waiting, waiting...
I want to be set free... on the road again for you and me.
Tell your partner that you'll be on the way, so get up get up...
We're far too old to whine about it!
Hey, you're awake.
And it keeps you where you've wanted to be known.
That's alright,
We knew we knew the way... all the way.
And it keeps us where we wanted to be on time...
Oh, then sooner or later it comes...
And we're free!
I'm free!
I'm free!
All the worlds a stage and we are home again!
All the worlds afraid but we are home again, home again!
Away from home? wait!
I died a little... waiting, waiting...
I want to be set free... on the bond again for you and for me...
Without a haunted song we'd be all alone...
So get up, get up, get up...
Now deconstruct!

All the worlds afraid... all the worlds afraid...

And we looked up to the stars last night
And I saw that maybe...there was nothing more?
...and my thought turned!
