Lyrics

J’ai une ame solitare Feel the same? Can you not see it? Your lips are dripping poison The feeling will last forever The Fighting is over Won without a sound …alone in a white room alone with no one… Ecstasy Constancy Rapidly One two three and if I get the chance to lead one sheep astray I’ll pull the rope with aching teeth There’s something in his eyes An angel can tell lies The war torn streets of paradise How hard the code to break Depends on what’s at stake Perpetual state of measure
I dream of airplanes crashing Solemn beginnings daily Every day I grow old And am born again Bathed in fight that starts to darken when I emerge I dream of airplanes crashing Solemn beginnings daily Dissolution is change I see tongues of fire upon our heads Turn off the lights to see the next room The constant… Save a match for me Run with me into the flames Save a match for me Play the game with me tonight Will November lose its meaning When your fingers lose their feeling? Today-make it shatter like glass Today makes tomorrow unbecoming November is what can change me
One wore white The other dressed in red One invincible The other fell down and bled One to touch your face The other to wipe the sweat One to know your name The other not just yet One day calm broke the silence and I heard my voice in The audience And it said “look at my face.” One day calm broke the silence I wear my nerves on the outside and Hide them under my… There’s no one out there, I know Her eyes were gleaming in lo And I’m still breathing on my own But thoughts are leaving one by one One stood by While the other came and went The other flew away So she wouldn’t fall out again One to let you know The other to make you wait Worlds across the fence and they’re Traveled every day.
Awake// Dreaming// Solemn reverie// Too lost// Secret// Link in a broken chain// Eyes are open// Only they don’t see// Color, shape and terminal velocity// Runaway when I feel danger hides in every stranger Stranger things have happened so I feel like being stranger Laughing All is lost// And all is lost on me// Lorazepam// Says it will set me free// No cold// No heat// Feeling has passed through me// Give me one thing// Escape is all I need// Breathing down my neck you see Is someone else’s destiny It makes no difference to pretend So give me all my gramonbozia pain and suffering The right to make of your own Escape overrides it all
Do you remember it? We had a data date. You tried to turn it back Now you’re a bit too late Standing the light again Open your mouth to speak Give me a sign of life [touch me] Make peace with your right brain Sense of security Logic cuts pure and deep Logic = all you need A line dividing us Cold stark reality In logic you will find transformation We have all the strengths of genius And all the signs of weakness You’d better go on believing Interface cannot come between “deep down I believe I’ll always be powerless.”
Your sky falls forever A black heart endeavor The game of laissez-faire Aces in the air Your eyes stare forever In the cold dry hereafter Hiding an affair I swore was never there It’s over and under and over and under In the city that never sleeps You are the creature that never wakes I thought you were someone else Scent of attrition Lean in to listen “Resurrect the dead on Jupiter” she said Time’s game is wasting Worldwide lambasting A billion miles away A deadly bird of prey Flies over and under and over Force led my tongue every time Why are the words nonsense?
Run run away And don’t remain Running on the data track And don’t look back Surprise attack Conscience tells me I am right Burning lungs suffocate Scream with every breath I take Wondering 1-2-3 Will I ever see my ---? Run away run so far away The monolith stands in a darkening shadow If I should die before I wake Never see shores with foreign waves Memory fades to black Under crushing marble slab cool me off Rinse me clean, let me please come with your Porcelain ivory Look at you now look at me Run way run so far away The monolith is beckoning every day Close my eyes and set me free
On time for me Is too late for you Their plastic gaze Would melt for you My passive face Keeps me away Cold, stark and pale Our sobriquet Sending a wire transmission Falling into submission Are you real or are you a vain imagination? It’s not for <0> [I tell myself]
Take a breath… Random streaks of light pervade The petrol perfume that I breath [air] Taken at the witching hour Missile launch and fuselage Rivets form a row of eyes Factory glass state of mind [glare] Thus machine begets machine 9 is 10 is 423 Affectionate utility The death of time Replaces the need for [age] I think I tried to steal a kiss Amid hollow shriek and hiss Buildings blacker than the sea The sky a wash of acid pain’s [gray] The air is thick and oil slick The architecture breathes its breath Soon I’ll not want to go away Black and silver Soot stained eyes see fire and steel How can I fell if it’s for real? I think sometime today I’ll rescue you away Andromeda can wait je sus desole A radon raid on the senses Nirvana encoded in concrete Stark anesthesia Follow your gray silhouette
Watch me and stay close beside So hopelessly waiting to close my eyes And hold me now because it’s after me Just waiting for my last breath Vague distant holes in my memory The nightside I’m drifting so far away The words that I’m speaking come haltingly Deep inside me Deep inside my fortress Feeling is lost with my memory I’ll work my way back to what it means It’s far too late to trace my steps back again The thoughts petrifying because The spider man is after me Fading hope of familiar recognition I built a castle made of arms crossed and breathless Watch me turn things around Turn them on their head! The nightside is where I’m drifting This place is a lie I’m believing To live with myself To ease the strain Release the brain It’s all I want Bleeding the vein
[instrumental]
Breathe the air Eye the eye Reach out and grab the hand that beckons The Great Divide Is in our minds You’ll see some things are bound to happen Drink the wine Touch the ice Enter the ruined and fallen city Dead by design Complete the line I know some things are bound to happen Send the match and send the flame And send the heat So I can burn down the walls that keep you in
