welcome, open,

Open up, free me to the world,
open up, to what is to come,
open up,
it will come,
and it will go,
open to know.

I'm sure you're not the only one, but you deserve more,
you've been seduced on dark wet nights,
by a man that takes what he needs, stealing to be sure,
sit back and enjoy, devoid of thoughts?
he's got secrets to tell, your heart sinks through the floor,
a flash of red, a slap and a fight,
you justify the scars that he leaves,
your eyes dull to the half-light.
Sometimes you realise what's going wrong,
but you don't care, no you don't care,
you'll know what's gone on when you hear this song,
but you don't care, no you don't care,
you're in his grip and he isn't letting go,
but you were lost, long-ago.
Who am i to say, you're not the first and won't be the last,
Perhaps scar tissue is stronger,
Happiness is what you want, so enjoy and forget the past,
you've found the beauty in the monster?
he's got secrets to tell, you're too numb to care,
awash with cold, you're his favourite toy,
you justify the scars that he leaves,
your eyes dull to the half-light.
Sometimes you realise what's gone wrong,
but you don't care, no you don't care,
you'll know what's gone when you hear this song,
but you don't care, no you don't care,
you're in his grip and he isn't letting go,
but you were lost, long-ago.
UNISON; x2
you watch what he wants,
you buy what he wants,
you are who he wants you to be.
Empty empathy,
washing over,
you are who he wants you to be.
Sometimes you realise what's gone wrong,
but you don't care, no you don't care,
you'll know what's gone when you hear this song,
but you don't care, no you don't care,
you're in his grip and he isn't letting go,
but you were lost, long-ago.

Back to Earth

A beauty is a joy forever,
It may fade, the memory will never,
Your love is lifes sustaining drink,
Lifting us all away from the brink.
Pursued by an unflinching monster,
nothing could stand up to your honour,
time and space can't keep us apart,
I'm lucky to love an honest heart.
You bring me back to Earth in your arms,
Through whatever you do, I'll always love you,
We battle the father of our star,
Through what I think I'm due, I'll always love you,
We see life and joy through your mirror.
Falling through the clouds miles from you,
I'd give anything for you to be here.
Bear witness to the beauty of the world,
Open your ears to the wishes unheard.
Frozen in time, together again,
Our life as one can truly begin,
As I grow closer the memory fades,
optimism blowing in our sails.
You bring me back to Earth in your arms,
Through whatever you do, I'll always love you,
We battle the father of our star,
Through what I think I'm due, I'll always love you,
We see life and joy through your mirror.

The Trial
04:18
|

|
He said he'd give his help to me,
for a price, can't hurt,
the cost was my own life,
on his head, it lies,
he took my life and i had nowhere to turn,
he took my life and i took nothing in return.
He said he could make me smile,
forever, happy now,
he has all the money that i earnt,
locked away, mine no more,
he took my life and i had nowhere to turn,
he took my life and i took nothing in return.
Fools, you know this is my own trial,
Pay! Pay!
You can't fight against my power here,
Pay! Pay!
I will cast you back where you came from,
Pay! Pay!
I don't care what happens to you,
Pay! Pay! Pay! Pay!
But there was one who watched,
who won't forget,
the trial was always his,
I'll fight, for you,
he took our lives and we had nowhere to turn,
he took our lives and we took nothing in return.
he took our lives and we had nowhere to turn,
he took our lives and we took nothing in return.

Moving Up, Moving On
05:16
|
|||
|
I know that I want to be alone some time,
I just need some peace, some calm,
I need to get away from the numb days,
I need to wake without the alarm.
I want to stand tall on life's surging waves,
not break apart in the wash,
I know that I can't fight it all alone,
and can't just grin to be brave.
Open me up to the world,
Free me from all that has been,
Open me up to the world,
Free me from all that has been,

Collide
07:07

|
the true mean of one in a million,
spends most of the day moving mindlessly,
he's the master of masochism,
a few moments of joy before monday.
Wallowing in his waning wonder,
he would rise above few personal wars,
the worst injustice receives a whine,
he closes his eyes and waits for winter.
His antagonist, pure anger,
so alike, such attraction,
absolutely bound, the one way,
an arduous approach, an easy sacrifice.
How close is too close?
How close before you're trapped forever?
They pull each other, together,
they fight until they are close,
until they're cast, apart again,
these Events to be remembered forever more,
How close is too close?
How close before you're trapped forever?
In a flash of light it's over,
they disappear, not here,
where there was fear, hatred and love,
no longer near, no longer fear, no longer near,
What would it take to quench their fire,
pull them from their empty mire,
egocentric utopia,
all their own, it's all they have ever truly known.

Plato's Cave
04:49
|

|
We explore the depths of our minds,
We abhor discrimination [writing credit R.Clarke], dictators and greed.
We implore the rich to feed the poor,
So keep your head up against the storm.
We've taken our first steps into space,
We've awakened our curiosity for knowledge.
We've learnt to laugh, live and love,
One can fight many and stand up tall.
So don't despair,
at the hatred, murder and genocide on the news,
So don't forget,
soldiers giving their lives for you,
when you're robbing the helpless,
don't forget the nobility in us all.
we are good,
we are true,
we are free.

In the meadow of solace,
the wind blows calm,
happiness is rolling through,
the trees grow tall,
but the summer will fall,
When the weight comes down, i know where to go,
of all the places, I need to be home,
Even if I can't stop, i know where to go,
through all that comes, I need to be home,
background :
Home
Go home,
be home,
to home, home
In the meadow of solace,
the leaves fall down,
hear the calm before the storm,
the weeds grow tall,
and the summer will fall,
Chorus
In the meadow of solace,
darkness is here,
the battle is raging on,
get over the wall,
because summer will fall,
Chorus
One day I will climb the wall,
to the meadow of solace.

Verse 1:
Don't look, I am here,
Don't look, you can trust me,
I have someone for you,
someone I don't need anymore,
curse, kill, end.
This is not me,
you won't be free.
The time has come for him to go,
you take his life, he is no more,
I know it's right, it must be so,
you take his life, it is my law,
you take his life, he is no more.
Verse 2:
don't flinch, you don't flinch,
don't care, you have done well,
I have someone for you,
someone with the power to kill,
curse, win, end.
This is not me,
you won't be free.
The time has come for him to go,
you take his life, he is no more,
I know it's right, it must be so,
you take his life, it is my law,
you take his life, he is no more.
Mid:
Don't look, I am here,
Don't look, you can trust me,
I know, of one more,
I know, I can trust you,
Tell me, is he near,
tell me, is it easy?
Same time;
I know, of one more,
I know, I can trust you,
Tell me, is he near,
tell me, is it easy?
The time has come for him to go,
you take his life, he is no more,
I know it's right, it must be so,
you take your life, it is my law,
you take your life, you are no more.

She is the one, he says,
the one who changes the world,
the skies brightest star,
restarting my life, he says.
She is the one, he says,
the one he always needs,
who is always there,
I'll fight any for her, he says.
I love her now and I always will,
She is for me and for me alone,
I love her now and I always will,
The girl of my imagination.
I love her now and I always will,
I'll hold on and never forget her,
I love her now and I always will,
The girl of my imagination.
Gone, (gone, gone) forever,
gone to the recess of my mind.
Gone, (gone, gone) forever,
gone never to be seen again.

Introspect
07:36
|

|
going out grinding on the same old dirge,
just in time for their plan of your life,
i live this day, through my half-closed eyes,
wanting to avoid, what I know will come.
All I wanted was to be someone,
but the future held me back,
All I wanted was to be someone,
but I could only look up,
I could only look.
staying in watching, the world pass outside,
trying to forget, what I know is there.
All I wanted was to be someone,
but the future held me back,
All I wanted was to be someone,
but I could only look up,
I could only look.
and now there's no way out,
when I know it's there,
there's no way out,
of what is closing in.
All I wanted has been consumed,
it will never release its grip.
All I wanted has been consumed,
it will never release its grip.
All I wanted was to be someone,
but the future held me back,
All I wanted was to be someone,
but I could only look up,
I could only look.

This Utopia
08:18
|

|
I live here, in this utopia,
a worn cog, keeping up the good.
when i'm ill, there is someone in need,
better than, the shadows that serve.
Don't let your score drop,
Or you will see.
You can do what you want,
In this utopia,
we live life on the scales,
in this utopia,
Conscience is external,
in this utopia,
How can this be right?
When we aren't our own.
I fight here, in this utopia,
against loss, of points and people,
no one knows, what i'm fighting for,
we are more, more than just a number.
Don't let your score drop,
Or you won't be.
You can do what you want,
In this utopia,
we live life on the scales,
in this utopia,
Conscience is external,
in this utopia,
How can this be right?
When we aren't our own.
now they come to silence me,
my score is lower than low,
and I have nowhere to go.
You are our subject,
cogs are useless alone,
you're a risk to all,
your fight will be unknown.
You are our subject,
not a one man jury,
you're a risk to all,
promoting fury.
If I have fought against your points,
others will too,
humanity is so much more,
than a number.
There's a cell for you,
unless you want to serve,
a voiceless shadow,
who threw it all away.

The Funeral Plain

Do you wrestle with dreams?
Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
|
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles,
Victim of your folly.
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles,
On the funeral plain.

Do you wrestle with dreams?
Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.

You have thrown us, into this mess,
we will break free,
we will be,
I won't sit back, until it's done,
we will be free,
we will be,
we will break free,
we will be, free!
You have thrown us, into this mess,

we will break free,
we will be, free!

No, we must know,
