Away Within
04:30
|
|||
Well there you are, thinking, “Will it follow out?”. Well aren’t your eyes, these days, lost in a void? Been acting somewhat strange. Like there’s some clock ticking. For there we are, and this we can’t decoy: things slowly slide and change.
Being a fraud is our work. Play pretend. Onward daring at the word of command Fight for the cause is what we mean so long as it’s hid deep within.
What choices aren’t, in this world, complicated? Betray our hearts, is that our worth, in the end ? You wrapped around me is what I need to keep believing.
A challenge known to us alone: "away within". To wicked chores that have me love you more, my soul’s akin.
Cold within... Ain’t we so? Cold within. Tell me now: ain’t we so away within?
Cold within... away within...
Challenge known to us alone. Will it follow out?

Walk Out
03:43
|
|||
It’s always somewhat vague
How we put ourselves in chains
Something in me craved
Sparks bringing about a change
Picked you out
Possibly was I in doubt
Pick you out
May be what I’d do without
What gets you high, should make me happy too
But from on high, quite the reverse, it makes
Me walk out
All in all we’re vain
Sure our heart and mind stand out
Yet confidence is thin
Depends on what we’re told, and that
Just picks you out
You do happen to
Tear me out
Tear me out in two
Do I know you ?
What gets you high, should make me happy too
But from on high, seems all about it’s fake
It’s time for me to wake
I walk out
I walk out
What gets you high, should make me happy too
But from on high, well something ‘bout it’s fake
I walk out
I walk out

Happy That Way
03:24
|

Foot on the break down Cypress Drive
Andersen’s lawn mowing cracking one fat smile
My neighbours all say I’ve the greatest of homes
My neighbours all pray that they could be me
I know I’m gabby and vain (He’s happy that way)
I sure am happy that way (He’s happy that way)
Dead for quick fortune and fame
One sure is happy that way
It’s on display, the wall on the right.
In a golden frame my achievements shine.
My colleagues all say: “Just you wait and see...”
My colleagues all pray that they once beat me!
I know I’m gabby and vain (He’s happy that way)
I sure am happy that way (He’s happy that way)
Dead for quick fortune and fame
One sure is happy that way

Made It So Far
04:10
|

Let the lace slide, collar askew, what would I do that for?
On a cab drive, heading farther than due... got a goal, frame a heart!
Spot a magpie heady headings denude, what would I do that for?
Brush the man's thigh, fire endue... gotta bet, quote, grade a heart!
Jade & sulphur made it so far...
Slip a lame lie: “Say it matters to you”. What would I do that for?
Take the game high for as long as I do hold a share of a traded heart!
Jade & sulphur made it so far...
Come daylight, vanish from view. What would I do that for?
Beat the ebb tide. For that matter I do use that plan to de-trade a heart!

Rage
04:07
|
|||
Since I pounced out of my cage it’s been soughed I’m a hopeless case.
Ran afoul of ex-inmates. Wouldn’t bow to both nous and fate.
To the downhearted untamed who feel crowded out of the game.
I know you know this is all in vain, in renouncement may peace be made.
Save your rage
I’d save your rage
I’ll take your rage

Unbidden Truth
03:41
|
|||
Eagles eyes, that’s what it’d take to spot her.
Once that high, there is much one dares reorganize... truth shows unbidden.
No ploy can linger on this way, nor emotions long keep at bay.
Say, don’t it all feel wrong when love calls?
Planes fly, do they duck when there is thunder?
Same as fools you chose to opt for words that would repulse her.
No ploy can linger on this way, nor emotions long keep at bay.
Say, don’t it all feel wrong when love calls?
Will this mask hold on?
No ploy can linger on this way, nor emotions long keep at bay.
Say, don’t it all feel wrong when love calls?

I Really Do Wonder
03:35
|

I really do wonder... that thing he said...now was it a blunder? Or gibing per se? When keep my composure is all that I may.
My mental processor can think of no answer. My neuronal browser just fails to connect. Then how do I pull through? Want out of this bed…Trick questions keep ringing.
For how come he wants you? Consistency pays...
And how does he want you? For real or for play?
The sun comes reasoning facts with me - “All in your head”.
Far above, it’s reasoning facts with me: “It’s all in your head”.
I really do wonder...

Moving Out
03:52
|
|||
Been so down and false pretence let unrevealed can harm a man.
Belief in life was so intense... before I freak, it’s time, and so...
I’m moving out, moving out
Square one, for there’s more to be
I’m moving out, moving out
Fair I had some relief.
I need an open door to stand the lonely sea of past illusions.
I’m moving out, moving out
Square one, for there’s more to be
I’m moving out, moving out
Fair I had some relief.
Your heart is an affliction and a void I will not sail
I’m moving out, moving out
Square one, for how could I wear thy cross?
Release
How could I?

Disembodied Vision
03:57
|
|||
In every heart smoulders a fever sprung from offence, blind and dual.
Whatever starts a “push-back” demeanour ends up in yells straight to a wall.
Is that hollow? S’there a future for this dysfunctional vision?
Mistakes and flaws, unfit behaviours have to be stopped once and for all.
A.I. is just, now, the proper healer: Rise of a man infallible.
Is that shallow? Is our future in this disembodied vision?
Is there a star by which to steer? Of truth, a spark, in tales of yore?
Progress apart, wheels are within wheels. To doubt am I the only one?
Let’s talk of our visions!
Remember the tales…
Who’ll own tomorrow?

Merry Old Lies
04:20
|
|||
Ain’t it compromise? Ain’t it merry old lies?
All this talk, fiddle dee, anyway?
We live sceptic times. What’s expected is smiles,
Firm – yet false – handshakes fools will believe.
Does is scorch your eyes? Rub your toes, take a doze.
Shopping malls wait with open arms! Saving blows, so it goes...
Ain’t it compromise? Ain’t it forgotten lies?
All this talk, blabbering will fade away.
It’ll pass, as all. Doesn’t everyone know it’s just foam for one to lose his way?
Thirst, hope, glee... oddly melt down.
Who now talks at the moon like Pierrot did?
Modern happy clowns on a merry-go-round, entrapped all in some cool make-believe.
Does is scorch your eyes? Grab a hose, spray their nose!
Snap the pose, spread some grating post. Thinking blows, so it goes...
