Living In Fear
02:39
|
|||
|
Take the lie… deceive your mind
Thought denial… we don’t know our possibility…
1,2,3… it’s survival… you erased responsibility…
Taken from you… you’re a truth that they don’t want to see
Fear of coming down again
Keep them coming round the bend
Realise that you’ve gone insane
Keeps them coming round again
Fake the order… you’re the truth but you don’t want to see
Blame the conformer… for the prison that we’re locked within
Finger in support of the breakdown falling
They shone that FEAR right in your eyes
Fear of getting down again… I don’t know where to begin
You declare revenge on the breakdown forming… it’s as cheap as a lobotomy…
Fear of coming down again… Keeps them coming round the bend
They don’t need a real good reason for it… it’s the fall of our society

Head In The Sand
02:34
|
|||
|
You are just a victim of a disorder…
television is making your decisions for ya
Don’t you get the point of the game?…
are you gonna believe there’s another point to the show?
Shown… you chose to live with your head in the sand
You lived a lie all along…
Truth can tell a man what's important…
lies can lead a lamb to the slaughter
Pay the price for looking away…
You aren’t gonna believe there’s another point to the show!
Sold… you chose to live with your head in the sand
Old… the circus came and you lost it all…
All… you lost your faith in justice
Told… don’t think of anything more
Freedom… it’s time to get it right
See them… to get the feeling right
Storm… while you were bent with your heads in the sand
Torn… they came and went and you lost it all
Born… they took your faith in justice
Worn… don’t think of anything more

Turn On Me
01:45
|
|||
|
People… just pay for it
People… pay all for it
Equal… go pay them
I know… shame inside
Can you lie? Can you hide?
Play with your mind
Someone… to pray for me
Someone… and they agree
Equal… they’re after it
People … turn on me
I think it’s time…. Ohhhh
Show me who you are…
Stay true to it…. Stay true… to you…

Rise & Shine
02:08
|
|||
|
Rise and shine… the worlds a-waitin’
All for one… and one for finding out
I had to stop and question all your statements
Had to find the truth without the crowd
Where no-one’s listening
I know you don’t mean it… but you are mean
Rise and shine… you have awoken
One for truth and all for finding out. (feel your heart)
You have to prove yourself the world, the one controlling
Show the world the walls are falling down
Don’t fear your calling
I hope you don’t mean it… but every time
You show me that you don’t know where I’ll be…
I know you don’t see…. You cannot see…
(The lie that we’re living)
But every time… you show me that you don’t hear a word I say…
I hope you don’t mean it… throughout time… I know ya don’t mean it…

Crisis Actors
01:52

Some are paid to deny… greater things in the mind
The game is played… wait… no time to hesitate… take…get out, it’s never late
Paid, to speak of the lie… Pleasure seek, all the while
No-one knows who they are …. Learn to think what you want…
The truth you make…. take… for everybody’s sake… break… you have to educate… great…. The truth you never made… wait… it’s now or never
All that you sold… the food of the soul
The bigger the lie you were told to believe in
A piece of your mind… was left back in time
The moment you looked at the screen…for shame…
The truth you make…. take… for everybody’s sake… break… you have to educate… great…

Blind Leading The Blind
02:56
|
|||
|
Blinded by the truth of reason… and reported by a pack of liars
Now it’s time to take back freedom… from the promises of untold lies
I’m a believer …… take it all the way
But I don’t believe ya… Maybe you’re to blame…
Heaven there’s a place you could go … take it all away
Focused on the love of feeling… a distraction for the simple mind
Keeping track of all our freedom… is the obvious to those so blind
Try to be the voice of reason… it’s a land of opportunity
Good will overcome all evil… it’s the warnings that you just don’t see
Away there… connect the dots if you’re playing
Your head in knots and the pain…

Limitless Time
01:27
|
|||
|
Smile…. Is there a limitless sky… Going straight up through the blue?
I don’t need to get this high… but I want to… it’s so real
Time… to ditch the wrist watch… you know the moment’s come around
They don’t need to change our brains… but they want to…. Yes they want to!
They remain…. Stay the same…. Real eyes…..
Now… allow the sun to shine in… burn bright enough to see
We don’t need to be so right… But we want to…. How we want to… out of doubt… Yes we want to…

Ivory Towers
02:27
|

|
Silent… The world…. Science… knows what you are thinking!
Science explains…. all the things YOU need.
No more guarantees … those days are over
Painful penalties… back to your owner… loner
Steam… roller… over what you’re thinking… you can hide
But they know what you think!
Painful memories… reliving over
Thank your enemies… for the exposure wont ya!?
Take or leave… all their greed
No more guarantees … those days are over
Painful penalties… back to your owner…
Science, explains…. Silence… they know what you’re thinking… You don’t see it all…

Inverted

Fake… take back some more… you want it all
Fake… You waste it all… You’re out the door
Fake… Felt like a dream… flat on the floor
Fake… that’s my allegiance to the wall…
Everything… you want to know…
Don’t you get… the cold?
Last stop… get off… you’re on your own
You made it up…. They want your home … They want it all
Everything… you own…. Change your way
Don’t want to know… they want you though
Free them…. Can you free them?….
We all agree… we better free them

How Do We Know?
02:10
|
|||
|
I’ve had times where I’ve been low…
Give myself some time to grow… (you know)
How do we all… read all the signs
How do we know… why are we blind?
All the good I see in you
All the light I cannot see… It shines everywhere… it’s heavenly…
Think I saw you in my dream…
I think I know just what you mean!
Stand eye to eye… drown in the soul
We did it right… We took control…

How To Dream
02:49
|
|||
|
When I dream… you float upstream…
So light, so free… so happily
Can you see? You’re part of me…
take what you need… weep while I bleed…
And I still dream of it all… and I dream with you
And when we dream (one and all) we are with you
Now we’re deep… you’re fast asleep… relax with me… so lazily
And I breathe… breathe life so free… so we believe…
you’re free to see me
And I can see you in everything, I see you…
(you’re in my mind)
Find you in everything… I need to!
Dream of it all, I still miss you… Find you in everything, I need to!
When I dream…. In everything….

Sail Away
02:46
|
|||
|
Thought at last, returned to me… Old and passed, we all agree
to be free
Take it on again… move out of home
Run away… you’ll make it on your own… (without her)
Take that inner belief… take back the control
I want you to know!
Time to start again… you’re moving on
Change of pace… a place to call our home…You gotta…
Take that bit of relief… take back the control
You do what you to know!
Life begins… We will fight to win
Fear is not your friend… with you once again
You have to live, on your own… you knew all along
that you were alive…
Flap your wings… when you want something
And for all you are… like a guiding star!
Sail away… Sail away…
