Set fire, set fire to home
Burn in your chair Let fall, let fall your Rome Limit your cares Watch another chance to make things right Crumble and fall by the wayside Another chance to set things straight Wither and die as another day breaks from the light You've rewired, rewired your code Spirit betrayed Now you drown just to stay afloat Ripples degrade Watch another chance to make things right Crumble and fall by the wayside Another chance to set things straight Wither and die as another day breaks from the light How do you see yourself on your one way ride? How do you breathe in half light? So wrapped up in your self-administered prize Watch another chance to make things right Crumble and fall by the wayside Another chance to set things straight You'll sink but you'll rise It's alright, reach for the knife Set fire, set fire to home 02. Wish I Was Here
All in all I don't know what to believe
But I told my friends I'm not sure if they're real And I'm peering in mirrors for proof that I'm here Half in, half out of this broken machine Sick to the bone with some spectral disease Came back from the void with the void still in me Oh, how I wish I was here Watching my life on a detuned TV The pictures I see are just shapes on a screen Come shock me out of my slow motion dream Here comes another day still within the fade-out And I'm freaking out Don't let this be what I'm about, I'm about Oh, how I wish I was here All it would take is a whisper or a kiss To seal my fate within the abyss Anaesthesia All is seeing, self deceiving I'll find a way home Oh, how I wish I was here Acid mother, resin father, I am blind 03. This Is Not Utopia
Aggravation, degradation
Deflamation, resound Self fixation, self fellation Masturbation, bleed out All the acid tongues get to breathe It's in the lines they weave, but not me So push the pacifist in the ring And watch the cruel display This is not utopia, this is a sentence Isolation, medication Alienation, freak out Hold on to the dream And push the truth away Lower your defences and you're just a piece of meat Searching for communion in the likes that I have never seen Egos they rise in the air. Godlike in motion, they levitate Oh they invite you to play, drag you from grace Among the whores, among the thieves I serve godless machines Domination, violation Molestation, freak out 04. Partners In Crime
We're in love, we're on the same page
Sliding off each other's frame It's not enough to say our prayer There's nothing coming up for air Feeding as one Lost in our portrait of rage Here in our song The essence of love and betrayal Partner's in crime Lover's in grime, fuckers entwined Partner's in crime Leeches in brine, grapes on the vine We're in hell, can't leave this dark place Try to break and I'm on your tail If all that suffers is real Then it's only us who feel Only us who feel My strength in your weakness Your fail is my winning Your strength is my weakness My failing, your kisses We're on our own Come on, we're fearless Come on and feed it Normalise 05. Sanctification
The lights are on this work of art
And nothing can compare For I've seen God, he's in my heartbeat And always has been there Eyes dilate as I vibrate Luminous is the flame And out there it's a nightmare Let rotten wood fall away Indifference to trivial views Wrapped up in my bliss Indolence will pacify with heavy trickle kiss We are of the sun Not captive to the mundane death of the body And who says this is not the one state? For I belong here Let rotten wood fall away I dream, I dream a revolution of the creed Blow the valve, reset the code I feed, I feed from the spaces in-between I evoke heaven with a stamp on my tongue I believe, I believe this is Eden I perceive Open doors breathing walls The opulence of kings I believe, I believe it's perfection I've achieved No reward could ever come To reach this seventh heaven I'm in love with a chemical It's all downhill from here Turn off, tune out, drop down 06. Existential
I am the voids progeny
Relayed from the black to here Born of the unforgiven sea Bestowed with temporary immortality Turned in to time and space In love with my own chains Til the devil looked into my face And pulled back my veil Neural oscillation, fade in/fade out Am I lucid? It's just existential Here in the dark there is no-one else For I can only sense my self A freak singularity But if I created this, who created me? Betrayed by inner space Am I straight or have I gone insane? Is there a series of realities or just nothing and me? Did God ever panic, up there all on his own? Don't you go thrusting the timelessness that you feel inside For you may find one day that it's nothing, nothing but a lie Bow down to the ingress Realign to the eclipse When the revelation brings you down to your knees Ask your God, do dead eyes still see? If this is only a leaf in the breeze What the fuck is this, what the fuck is me? 07. What Do You Want Me To Do?
You've been rowing out to sea for two thousand days
And you can't see the shore, or remember how it feels I am here to help I am here to make sense out of this world What do you want me to do? You've been dissolving me in salt Drowning me in bleach I've been going up in smoke You've not given me an inch I am here to help I am here for reason, for thought What do you want me to do? Take heed in the weight of the words I say As we fall into another day 08. Between The Atoms
Where's your god as you begin the drown
In the shifting sands of here and now Break hard from the heart of your black hole Pulling you into delirium Hit white as the event horizon looms Trajectory has changed Landslide to aphasia Dug out of our own grave The tree of life will fall in the end Now out of sight of the all seeing eye This is what you wanted, you wanted This is what you wanted What will lie beyond these heathen vows? You might never cave in, but you may never get out Unsure as to what of yours remains To get to feel another day The tree of life will fall in the end Now out of sight of the all seeing eye This is what you wanted, you wanted This is what you wanted Hold on, hammer in the nails Reality begins to fade Hold on to the mast, we are to break Hold on child The stars have turned to quicksand They pull you peace by peace into the void Am I still here? What is here? Am I still breathing? It used to be a crown of flowers through your hair Now it's just a wreath held on borrowed time This is what you wanted, you wanted This is what you wanted 09. Liquid Light
Come hear our broken psalms
Big words that we wrote while in the dark We ordered our young To heed our words and bleach their minds And they obeyed And said their prayers And burnt their wires Before too long we'd changed our minds We fell out of love with liquid light And in our shame We all then failed to disavow Leaving our plague to trickle down It's gone too far Lennon. Slick '66, get your trip on Stay in bed, feed your head Huxley's new dawn Acid fried, '69, got it so wrong Brian, Syd, Peter, Skip, Roky, all gone Come listen to the words of dead men And the clinically insane As they lead you down the path that they went And encourage you to do the same Wake up They got it so wrong Still their verses are commonplace |
