Wrote my swan-song Thought it was the end Twenty-five years I was left for dead But I'm breaking out of that Hell Been gone for a lifetime Or so I've been told I have to erase old cells and start again once more We live inside of a dream Plotting our lives with no control We need to come together, the worst is still in store How can I make you listen to something you've never heard If only you would believe me There is another world... on its way! There's a siren coming from the woods In the dark of night, untouched by good I was in the abyss, barely made it out alive I feel so different now without a pulse inside The panic and the fear I've had it up to here So I'll just take myself away...

In My Mind 04:26
Sometimes I hear myself Yammering around Too depressed to make a single sound Respect is earned, not given This is known to me And If the river's flowing I'm lost across the sea But in my mind... I'm on a holiday It's not so far away I don't have the words to say To all the jokers in my way I'd rather stay here locked inside my mind I don't have a thing to prove To all the freaks outside my room I'd rather stay here locked inside my mind This could be just a dream A drift in outer space Converting all that's happy Into UV rays For this world and the other and my little brother I will pave my way What if I'm Brian Wilson A vege-table on display In my mind I'm on a holiday-oh It's not so far away, but... but it's not a game The path that you've been laying down it's not the same You don't care what you're saying now It's not a joke You walk around like you got no hope at all Take it from me The things you wish to be Will only make you lose your mind But you're on a holiday And you don't care what they say!

Help me understand the why and how That someone so restrained could be so loud Well, I am made of threes and sixes broken in my head Come with me, we may not end up dead I know you've been here before And no one's making you stay If you fear me, don't follow me Don't follow me In the corn rigs is where you'll find me Censor all the sensors so our thoughts can be set free I don't mean to bring you down Or cause you any harm I just wanna hold you in my arms We're lost on a no through road Nowhere to be, nowhere to go If you're not here for the ride... Don't follow me, don't follow me Controlling my emotions I have always tried to be Try to see the forest beyond all the trees Hear the sound of goslings and the call of caribou All that hinders me is you You were never quite at home With my thoughts or things I say Sun is coming down The city will be ruined And so will you and me...

Destiny Park 03:26
Look in the sky Something bound to catch your eye A brand new planet shaped just like our own It's on its own And if you turn down the wrong road You can sometimes hear its noise A disconnected voice that's singing... "Come one, come all We can make your dreams come true! Give your hopes and fears to us They'll not come back to you" They're singing: "Come one, come all You've got nothing left to lose Except some time, your blood Your life... But what good was that anyway?" It was once a beautiful, bright place But that was just to lead us here It feeds on fear Power grows And when it grabs you it won't let go And i can feel it reach for me Oh, the things it's promising me! It's singing... They're tricking you, you fool Why is it you can't see? You gotta run away Not believe the words they say They're killing you, you fool You gotta head to your home You'll become a pile of bones A smiling apparition all alone

KONTS 03:48
An effervescent ghost A body looking for a host A madman of malaise He'll never go away Give him just an inch and he will take a country mile Offer up your time and he will drain you of your smile Don'tcha get caught up in trying to blow the world away You'll end up the king of nothing to say He's only just begun Ya see, this is a real creepshow Got songbooks in the hundreds that Nobody else will know... He's not a bad man He's just been caught under a spell Now that he's found that magic pill Delusions he will sell You can do your worst to break this curse But it won't be undone Until you find the magic words to be sung Shangri-la. Papa-ra, papa-ra, nani-nani-na Cheryl, oh Cheryl Some day you'll be free And I won't beg you to save my skin Or just listen to me Cheryl, oh Cheryl! I've surely gone astray In the blink of an eye I've become The king of nothing to say! Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Haunted 05:09
Here's a boy Born afraid Don't you say his name It only drives him away Keeps his words In a jar He may bring them out some day But it may be far He'd break down any door to know the truth He'd rather live alone than without proof Who wants to grow old You know there's nothing left to do And nothing left to prove Can't you see You live in spite of your own destiny I believe You try your best to stay in safety Here's a man All alone He's a stranger in a place he once called home They keep him safe Free from harm Artificial life is flowing through his arm But he'd break down any door to reach the end To feel the touch of family and friends But somehow warmth and safety isn't heaven-sent at all It's his final call It's a joke you believe When you negotiate your dreams And if we never make it out of here We'll be haunted Help me be a better man Who does his best to understand To make his way from here to Budapest I wanna reach the higher state Where I don't know or care if I'm great Where I can breathe a little easier knowing: This was my fate.

Hey you I bet you're not afraid Of any single thing Well maybe you should be Cause when you close your eyes It could burden you when you know the truth And that is There's nothing left to prove I would never tell a lie That I didn't believe I'd never play a part that didn't Have a part of me I would never fake a sickness I've been sick my whole life long but I would lie Awake all night So happy you are gone God damn Have you no respect For heroes that you meet Does it make you complete? Architects line up to knock you down Lost in your own world and you can't be found Everything you think you need Is only in your way You've become the king of nothing to say You're gone...

Unburdened 04:23
I don't know why shit turns to gold Long after I discard it I can't say why things go my way The moment I've departed I carry a heavy load But this is the life I chose You can stay up all night long Waiting for the sun Or you can curse the way time flies Until your days are done Tide won't turn your way When you're alone Your hopes will turn to stone Keep a level head I promise you and I will be unburdened tonight I don't know why I lose control And let this spirit guide me I can't say why I hide away And waste my lifetime sliding I don't know my own soul I don't know at all I don't know My life's role but I pray I'm not the pilot I carry the light of day I just can't let it break away...

Who do you think you see What stories brought you here He's not a man to follow He's playing off your fears Found your voice Sang from your heart Now he owns you Tears you apart I have always rued this day Felt it coming my way This has been a long time coming You can run your whole life long From knowing which is more important Your life or your song You can do your worst To break this curse I will be waiting beneath your bed You can pray for day to come But you're caught in the unforgiving night There has always been a part Of me that's doubted this brand new start And I was caught up in a moment That's fading far away And I don't wanna live this way I don't wanna hand my life to fate Some want to live forever Some just count the days This is all a dream None of it is true Tried to play the hero but You know what is true And it hurts me far more than I Have ever hurt before To know That in 25 years I... I still love her Even though the nights are long I still love her Even as I sing this song I still love her cause she's my guiding light I still love her Even though the nights are long I still love her Even as I sing this song We're caught in the unforgiving night. That unforgiving night...

My Gravity 03:51
I've been wishing for some change I found some now Life's sure going my way, I guess But something seems astray Floating here in empty space Wonder if I'll always feel this way Oh God Uncertainty May there still be hope for me? You've been staring at the sun While your world becomes undone The things you see, they just can't be Gravity will try its best to break your fall But it can't save you now I've been in another world Hiding from the panic and the fear No good has come of that Woulda gave myself away To shelter you from pain inside your head There I go again You know you can't go back in time Gravity will try to break your fall It won't ever be the same You can't build up a portrait to hide what you lack You can't re-write your history so much you lose track You can't give up a piece of yourself then ask for it back You can't go off in space then come back... in one piece But you can try... I wanna be home.
