1. SKY SCRAPE WINDOW

Looking out your sky scrape window
Thinking that the end is near
All is grey and no-one seems to care
It's getting worse when your world is feeling empty
With your lonely thoughts to fear
Is there only hatred out there

They let their hearts grow cold
As they spin out of control

Break the wall down
Open your arms and feel alive
We're all connected
Open your mind and feel alive

Let's put some fear in their heads
And watch them crash and burn
See enemies at every turn
Manipulation has led them to be ignorant
It's a truth they don't want to learn


2. PAVING STONES

City breathing concrete, it gave an air of solitude
The cries remained to echo across the hood

With your eyes out there's nothing to see
You can't be born in this misery
With the lights down you can disappear
You cannot protect everyone you hold dear

She crossed a pile of paving stones, collected on the street
She stepped upon loose fragments and kept her eyes upon her feet

The men they forced an entrance, then they reclosed the door
Everything was quiet, remains were on the floor


3. GOLDEN THRONES

We are the sky
We are the earth
We claim the fire
We claim the dirt
We call you home and sit ourselves
On golden thrones

Small as you are
Running around
Foolish and proud

We could have been living in paradise
As you face your demise you sing
I'll make you pay the ultimate price
For taunting me


4. WALK WITH BROTHERS

Falling silent in the cold light of day
Stolen moments have come and gone away

Etched into my memory
Those nights last forever

Lights, the roar, I let it pour into my soul
I feel so alive, in that moment I am whole

I walked with brothers got lost in a field
Were kings and beggars, faced defeat but did not yield

From dreams to earth whatever it takes
Travel onwards for all of our sakes


5. CORNELIA

I can't feel the rain falling on my face
Still drowning, can't feel it anymore

They would be better off without me
So I'll stop wasting their time
Choose my battle let them go
Those thoughts are killing me
Smothering me I can't breath

Dam that river of darkness
Don't let it wash over me
Kill those demons so callous
For treating me thoughtlessly

Different shades of black are closing in on me
Things I used to love can't touch me anymore


6. SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE

Fifth and fourth of the major scale, check
One five six four progression, check
Into the machine, out into the world
Background muzak for the boys and girls

All you bring all the same
So much nothingness in a fancy dress
I play along, that's the game
Would it feel right? Swimming against the tide

Synchronised steps over quantized lines
Generic tricks to soothe the short term minds
Template ready, fill in the blanks
Copy, paste, repeat, higher in the ranks


7. STOP THE SILENCE

Every single day I live I wish that you were here
Wondering what you would do to comfort all my fears

Do stop the silence, there's only so much I can take
With every single breath I take you are further away

Please stop the silence, I want to hear you voice
Thinking of what you would do with every single choice

Every single day I live I wish that you were here
Wondering what you would do
There is so much I fear without you here


8. TECHNICOLOURED EYES

You, you create, see this life through technicoloured eyes
Black and white is all we have
Somehow you reach beyond the skies
Show me how, make me see all the colours in your

Mind your step they say from a line single file and
Never look away, keeping your eyes front and center

You have a world inside your head
Nobody can touch it
O, this cage is too small
For your mind and imagination

Life rages on like a train
We go through the motions
Never wait to see the sky through your eyes
Stare at our screen and slip a

Way to cyberspace
Mocking the one staring in silence
We never look away
Keeping our eyes front and center


9. NEXT IN LINE

Next in line don't waste my time
And show me all you can
Heaven help me, not that song again
The one thing I can't stand

What you see, what they say
It doesn't even really matter
This voice is yours, you set the course

The game begins, you spread your wings
Who are they to ground you?
Just feel the joy it brings
What was that? A dying cat?

Are you sure to set foot
In this institute?

And that dress? I must confess
Sometimes more is less


10. REVERIES

Colourful and free like a wild rose
Growing everywhere, not a single care
When we dared to live

I preserve my memories
Confined in a chamber somewhere
Kept beside my reveries
Bound by a fear of falling

What was I thinking
Couldn't have been real

This childhood fantasy
And how it made me feel
I just let it go for a sense of security
That was just a house of cards


11. DREAM BEYOND A DREAM

Reclusive among the people
Discontented by the norm

No love or faith could soothe him
He is yearning to be reborn

Molting, shredding
The skin of his life

He discarded all he knew for solitude
A dream beyond a dream
Almost heaven so it seems

Walking the earth with one purpose
Hiding from the light
