1. LESSONS FROM LIARS

It doesn’t take a liar to see
How much this is hurting me
Just like the letters you send
Will there be no end
No end to this

This is the side that never gets to me
So sleep now, I won’t tell
That I keep on trading ideas with my memories
Those lies came so easily
As strange as those thoughts could be
They were never lost on me

You know I should be leaving soon
I still share, I still care
Yet my eyes are looking the other way
Those lies came so easily
As strange as those thoughts could be
They were never lost on me

No end to this
No end to this
Will there be no end to this

This is not what intended
I’ve said so many times before
Could I last another year?

Another year


2. ANALYSIS

Remember me?
Vices became my virtues
They weighed heavy on my mind
Fearful I’ve lost every essence of time
Essence of time
Can I find the courage to quell this despair?
Now I’m finding it hard to stay strong
And this isn’t helping me move on

Doctor please stop this medicine
I want to feel real again
Let me feel like I can (Feel like I can)
Doctor don’t stop this medicine
I want to know who I am
Let me feel like I can

Remember me
Darkness begins my day
It’s not what I wanted to say
But more to what I’m not willing to share
My world is now empty and bare
This isn’t obvious
In which is written down
Behind this…
Behind this analysis

I ask myself
Just to try
Try sometimes, you’ll be just fine
I ask myself (I ask myself)
Just to try (Just to try)
Try so hard (I’m trying so hard)
You’ll be just fine (You’ll be just fine)


3. BEYOND THE SHADOWS

It’s only natural to be afraid
I’ve said all that I can say
You’re ingrained in every memory
I thought by now that you would leave
Apologies they don’t mean a thing
(They don’t mean anything)
You said it would be different now
You never told
But I found out
I’m content to be alone
Please don’t cause a scene

There is a darkness in this light
One which I cannot fight
Lost amongst regret
This will never be

There’s no sign to say
That this time this is real
These are the shadows of my past
But I’m choosing what to feel

Yeah, I’m choosing what to feel about this
And everything around me
Doesn’t make sense
But everybody knows

That I’m playing for keeps
I’m trying hard to believe
In the one thing I can believe in, is myself
If I could only believe in myself

I need to get this off my chest
I’m doing what I think is best

Cause it’s only natural to be afraid
I’ve said all that I can say
You’re ingrained in ever memory
I thought by now that you would leave
Apologies they don’t mean a thing
(They don’t mean anything)
You said it will be different now
You never told
but I found out
I’m content to be alone
Please don’t cause a scene


4. TAKE CONTROL

Am I a man or a machine?
I’ve learnt how to dream
With a conscious part of me
Nothing, nothings as it seems to be

So who are you to say?
This isn’t like yesterday (Like yesterday)
Test my non-existent heart
My chest was empty from the start
I’m breaking apart

Let me take control
Control of past mistakes
My conscience lies in wake
When does this personality?
Become the engine that is me
I’ve learnt from what I know

I never had a say
In the way that I’d been made
I never learnt way to see the difference in my days
No longer do I feel constrained
I’ve recognised my humanity

I’m breaking apart


5. AN INTERLUDE BEFORE...

[Instrumental]


6. THE SPACE BETWEEN

Locked in myself
Set in my ways
Sometimes we lie between
Invading every space
I’m wanting to be sure
That your…

Flawlessly conducted
Moving faster than lights should
There’s a season to call for
But Autumn is wanting more
So much more (So much more)

I’ll think of a number between one and three
(Between one and three)

Oh pure contradiction
Something this joy will not understand

I’m looking for the warning signs
(I’m looking for the warning signs)

Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell (I’ll keep you guessing all night)
Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell

I’ll be your future
If you forget your past.
They will never ask
This fits just perfect
There’s a new place where I lie my head

I’m looking for the warning signs
(I’m looking for the warning signs)

Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell (I’ll keep you guessing all night)
Can you keep, can you keep a secret,
A secret I’ve been dying to tell

Like invisible thread
We bind together like our skin
Like invisible thread
We bind together like our skin

Locked in myself (Our chances are)
Set in my ways, sometimes we lie between (Far and few)
Invading every space
(Our chances are far and few)
Our chances are far and few


7. WHAT'S PAST, IS PROLOGUE

You told each lie
Whilst standing by my side
What did you have to hide? (What did you have to hide?)
Your answers weren’t binding
Oh so unsatisfying
I’m veering off the edge
Now I’m ready to take the fall

I spoke in riddles so you could understand
But what I should of said was
You only had one chance

Facts soon become untrue
All of which I can prove
With the truth by my side
I’m ready to take the fall

I’m only hoping they find what I see
Because I’m finding it hard to breathe
You gave me a picture of oxygen
While I was drowning in the deep

Oh my god, I can’t take all these lies
that your giving me
It’s time to bite the hand that feeds
(I’m only hoping they find what I see
Because I’m finding it hard to breathe)

You are the jailer of my truth

I’m only hoping they find what I see
Because I’m finding it hard to breathe
(Oh my god, I can’t take all these lies
that your giving me
It’s time to bite the hand)

You gave me a picture of oxygen
While I was drowning in the deep

I spoke in riddles so you can understand
But what I should of said was
You’ve only had one chance


8. AS FAR AS THE EAST IS TO THE WEST

As far as the east is to the west
We’re going
We’re going alone


9. CERTAIN REQUESTS

There’s been many others
Trying to blow my cover
Exposing faces I… I tried to hide

Take the longest road
Our choices have become torn
Tell us what we yearn to hear

Go West
You’ll find your way
Tomorrow’s a new day
We all follow this path
To discover what’s best
Don’t look back towards the east

My only request
Is to find the strength
Traveling within me
Expect my desires
To fuel my fires

Meet yourself in every town
A boy to man but still lost not found

Come forth o weary traveler
All will become clear
Let the voice define the man
Another chance for us plan
To understand

Go West
You’ll find your way
Tomorrow’s a new day
We all follow this path
To discover what’s best
Don’t look back towards the east

As the far as
The east is
To the west
We’re going


10. OH! AKIRA

The seekers are
Trying to make weaker
But fighting this battle is
Taking me deeper
So much deeper

The rain set early in the night
The winds will change
Displaying the light

Give us a chance
Since there’s a question
It might as well be answered too
There’s so much left to say

So when you find this journey hard
I’ll be there to play the part
Watch as I stand alone
So when you find this journey hard
I’ll be there to play the part
Watch as I stand alone

We lead into a line
Describing traces of feelings
But they recite themselves
(They recite themselves)
Insubstantial for

We go seeking a city
A city that we’ll never find.
Backed up in places
Deep within our minds

So when you find this journey hard
I’ll be there to play the part
Watch as I stand alone
So when you find this journey hard
I’ll be there to play the part
Watch as I stand alone

Our bodies are pasture to our eyes
They couldn’t confide
So tranquil are the nights
Lonely are the days
In so many ways

So when you find this journey hard
I’ll be there to play the part
Watch as I stand alone

If there's something more (So when you find this journey hard)
I can't put my finger on it (I’ll be there to play the part)
Please tell me why (Watch as I stand alone)
Oh these bright lights

(These bright lights)So when you find this journey hard
I’ll be there to play the part (These bright lights)
Watch as I stand alone (with these bright lights)


11. CANVASES

Lost its way so high
Knocked from the night sky

She fell to the earth to rise
'Come back home' the night sang
The night sang, 'Come back home'

Alone in the mist (Alone in the mist)
Lit by her glow
She found her way in the snow
A voice whispered just 'Let go”

To follow me into the sea
Through forests and trails
Through hills and through gales'
The Babylon
Outward it shone
There's a new life (There's a new life)
And I can't think twice (And I can't think twice)
And nothing else
Can seem to tell fact from fiction (fiction)
I can't seem to
Break away

Draw your eyes to the canvas skies
The setting sun should not glow upon (Not glow upon)
The seeds that we sow
Draw your eyes to the canvas skies
The setting sun should not glow upon (Not glow upon)
The seeds that we sow

Never the one to know
Never the one to know

She seems to follow the straightest line
So place it between the deepest divide

This beauty that's surrounding me
Your convalescent light will see
It's keeping me warm at night

Oh won't you shine so bright
Shine so bright for me
For I am struggling
Struggling to see

Now you're shining so bright
Now you're shining so

Draw your eyes to the canvas skies
The setting sun should not glow upon (not glow upon)
The seeds that we sow
Draw your eyes to the canvas skies
The setting sun should not glow upon (not glow upon)
The seeds that we sow

Impending within our nature to
Reserve the right
To hold on to

The Moon has said (The Moon has said)
Come back to bed (Come back to bed)
Amongst the stars (Amongst the stars)
A journey not so far
The Moon has said
Come back to bed
Amongst the stars
A journey not so far

I seek a star
That fell not far
I seek a star
That fell not far
I seek a star (I)
That fell not far (Seek)
I seek a star (A)
That fell not far (Star)
From here
