1. LIDLESS

Mainframe frantically inspecting the surface
Wired sensors embracing disturbance
What started as a mental rejection
Now dancing with detecting deception

Lidless
Merely a disaster in disguise
Lidless
The longer I stare the less I believe my eyes

Circumstance none more suspicious
Ungraceful, increasingly hurtful to witness
Divert me another second in this rueful turmoil
And I’ll cover myself in a full body armor made of tin foil

Lidless
Merely a disaster in disguise
Lidless
The longer I stare the less I believe my eyes

The movements behind the drapery
Make me question what you’re saying to me
A little paranoia’s all that’s needed
To avoid these pitfalls - stay undefeated
Been through this enough times
To know what you say ain’t what you think
Eyes so fixed between the lines
That I ain’t got a second to spare to blink

Observation of the highest grade
Unfolding all behind what’s being portrayed
I keep delusions out of my face
And refuse to be held in place
Your schemes exposed, unraveling
- I’m keen to show it ain’t happening
Appear as a cure, but you’re merely a leech
About to end prematurely that speech


2. ALUMINIUM RAIN

On the path of least resistance, all the words I find are twisted
A way out - If there ever was one - I must have missed it

A vision perfectly clear, set on which no-one else can see
Another state of consciousness is taking a hold of me

In the grip of disorientation, I find it hard to believe
Fallen into an inward spiral, all eyes on me

My hands sinking
A dementing liquid

Pour it on me
Aluminum rain
Drowning calmly
Aluminum rain

Regardless of where it leads, a flood rises, a flood recedes

My hands sinking
A dementing liquid

Pour it on me
Aluminum rain
Drowning calmly
Aluminum rain
