1. PILLS

These days
They're taking me down
Breakout
With pills in my hand
Freak out
I move with the crowd
You think it's only you
It really kills me too
You really got me going now
It's taking me down
You really got me wanting now
You think it's only you
It really kills me too

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies

You really kills me too

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies

It's really got me hurting now

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies

It's really got me hurting

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies


2. LINES

High, sunlight, drown
High, sunlight, goodbye

As I re-submerge
I can barely breathe
Lung capacity
Withering away
Hyperventilate
All disintegrating
Bodies turn to dust
Sudden rush of blood
Snap me out of moods
Swinging in the wind
Round to hurricane breeze
Past damage in the blast
More than physical
Plain to see upon the visual
Feel the impact down
Deep inside a rattled rib cage
Lying shattered there in pieces
Fall away wither and decay
Cannot keep this anxiety at bay
Hellfire spray twisted metal stray
When sparks fly into the naked eye
Fools know not to even try
Think about it fully
Blowing sky high bring a house down
Panic all around
Blind to the fact
Silent ones who plan a hijack
Give with one hand other takes back
One way collision flight path
Aftermath
Come and feel the wrath laid to waste
Steadily with haste
Cutting to the chase
Drifting off the pace
Filling all space and times up
For the meanwhile pressure piles down
Terror reigns

Runaway, loose
Gonna run over you
Infected, injected, completely subdued
Invasive, foreign entity, unwelcome

High, sunlight, drown
High, sunlight, goodbye

Lines, lines data and lines
Confusing nations all data inside
Games shame lies to the masses
Dead souls all rise
On poisonous gasses
Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, lines la la la la la la

Battered and broken hour glass
Last thing you see before the light
Fizzle out smoke billowing broken down
From the inside by scandalous tension
Take hold, gripped by the head
Cold harbouring a grudge
Closer to the edge
Cradling the grave concern
Follow leaders in turn
Flipside opposition
Convey grievance
Half a mind to test immortal patience
Held down while suffocating
Blocking air path
Final exhale
Vital sign fail
Flatline
They would rather do away with our kind
Half expected inside
Rotten infected, fatally flawed and overawed
Biohazardous and contagious
Got animal into animal
Crushed like beasts into cages
Slow deteriorate body
Shutting down
Cease and fade
Cease then fade

Runaway, loose, gonna run over you
Infected, injected, completely subdued
Invasive, foreign entity, unwelcome
Unwelcome, unwelcome

Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, la la la la la

High, sunlight, drown
High, sunlight, goodbye


3. THE EMPTY BOTTLE

The colours run away as the sun fades the day
I find it so hard to find the right words to say
I know that when I have to leave and close it all down
I'm losing everything that you have made me

Let it all just fade away like leave from green to grey
Defeat the impossible finish this war with enemies
And how I love your smile in my aching heart
But why does everything I touch become so sharp

Let the sea roll over me and wash me away
Let me slide deep beneath this crushing blue
The light in the night and the stars on your face
You are everything that surrounds me in this place

I am the hollowness the empty bottle at the end
I am the falling part playing at pretend
I want that feeling back deep inside my heart

Lay down these feelings push them all aside
Crawl out into the light my love I cannot hide
Searching for togetherness on the other side
A thousand bullet holes this love cannot die

For I am the hollowness the empty bottle at the end
I am the falling part playing at pretend
I want that feeling back deep inside my heart

These feelings...


4. REMOVE

Finally
From all I want to see
Remove

From the place that I love
The place that I touch
That moves me

Their eyes are on me
They're running for me
Remove

Moronic world
I can't hold on

Silently
They take identity
Remove

They take the colours from me
And mould the others on me
Remove

They take the hurt from me
They take the worth of me
Remove

Moronic world
I can't hold on

Moronic world
I can't hold on
No, I can't hold on
I can't hold on
No, I can't hold on


5. COME ON GET HIGH

Come on get high
Switch off get high
So we can fall in love again

Too much sick highs
I need to fall in love again

So long we're high
Back in love with everything

My love come on
Bleak heart I long
I long my love
Bleak heart it's gone
I want to feel a part of you

Come on get high
Switch off get high
No more sick highs
So we can fall in love again
My love we're high
Come on get high
Come on
Back in love with everything


6. THOUGHT CONDITIONING

Your misguided mind seeks presence of a greater
From around the equator as we move via soul, via sound
Surrounds all verbalization nation never will it be like the same way again
So they blend human nature in the excess
Less you know the whole combination of a paragraphs genetic complex
Many pages in the book
Through the ages take a look out of a room with a dark view
View a time I never knew and I'm never gonna be without drive on the highways taken
Making every move, with a brain swift and nimble as a being I resemble my god
It's hard and I recognize and deliver from the me to me, seem to be
High society, are down low, showing all out
Out of body experience, looking at your own reflection
Correct mind thought conditioning

Thought conditioning, thought conditioning…

Cast a revelation for the time of day, eventual panic attacks me
But I come back with a new determination
Knock wood, street solid rock, clock tick a time
Are you inclined to be the anonymous
I'm ever living like Israelite, those who funk faking
We're breaking now that were taking it out of sight
Like a spark, dynamite ignite, light a flame fire burn
Live and learn, no cause for your concern
Never antagonize me, fear is not always overcome
Some thrive on this, live on this stratosphere
We near a new day, fear inside us all you know you can't deny it
I, keep on stepping use minds, lethal weapon
It's time being taken, history is in the making, by the day
Hold a thought for the ones that slept
But to me dignity was like kept, we're in the line of fire
I will not break or take your petty excuse for the lack of punctuation
Natures on the down slope, still I stand vertical position
Three ways intuition over paths of belief
I keep it brief and let your own interpretation
Know the real meaning of my alternative
It wrecks typical, from the back I will speech my peace
My release will let the hard times cease

Thought conditioning, thought conditioning…


7. THE FEELING OF LOSING EVERYTHING

I feel strange
Covered in waves of confusion
And people not looking inside

All the stars all seem to collapse
Over the sea of my thoughts
And the net comes creeping
Over the calm and I'm caught

And all is lost in a storm
Of something sinister

As I leave to go away
The lazy sun burns a hole
And I remember those dying words you said
The feeling of losing everything

And all is lost in a storm
Of something sinister

Slow tides and falling grace
Reflections cold in this space
I am floored and can't return
This winter's white, its silence burns


8. BLOOD IN NUMBERS

Fall down people
Stand tall fearful
Lay down thousands
Right to the end

Find her amongst them
Head down unnoticed
Hands cold and broken
Passengers leave

Frail time is over
Stand on my shoulders
Our hearts twisted
Blood dried in numbers

Blood dried in numbers
Cold slaughtered brothers
Breaking each other
Right to the end

Loose lines uncovered
Masks for each other
Run low for cover
Here comes the end


9. TO THE END

Old cranes lift your head
Arms laid down to rest
Clear skies overhead
Put revenge to bed
'Cause I believe in love

There's a light that burns
With the strength to hold
Us inside when hearts collide
To the end

New bird sing your song
Ghosts no longer roam
Life no more betrayed
Safe to call this home
'Cause I believe in soul

There's a light that burns
With the strength to hold
Us inside when hearts collide
To the end

Light us inside
When hearts collide
To the end


10. PICTURES

Moving
So slowly
Wandering
Alone with you
Silently
Revealed by you
I wish I
Could hold your hands
On each side
Of my head
So you could feel
My pictures
Of you
Against the darker side
Shadows move
In your light
So beautiful you are


11. LUNAR BENDER

Come back
Into my eyes again
Fade
Into my smile again
Get lost
In my stare again
Climb back
In my mind again
Walk
In my stride again
