1. DAZE

Rolling down the freeway, master to the speed of light
Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night
No rest, I've stayed here too long, it's time to move on

Reality's a three way, a scenery defined
By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines
If there's ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame

And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day

Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?

Drifting like a cast off, the shadows got it good
With constant companions, would that I could
Further afield my nemesis on stilts is gaining on me

So I crawl across the state line, to another state of being
Holding on for dear life to the better days I've seen
Long for the comfort of your loving arms, your passions, your charms

And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day

Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?

Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun
I give you the reason I'm still on the run
Disappear in the heavy glare of neon

Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?


2. JEALOUS GODS

Can you feel the void between us
Nothing there but light, yet it seems like the weight of the world
Keeping us here in the dark
If I allow our blessings define us
Bearing the scars of our loss like it's all we deserve
When passions we hold will depart

If I could build a bridge between us
Arcs of soaring rainbows
Strength of mother earth
Would it fill our hearts

If I instilled a faith to guide us
Blind and sweet like free flow
A seed in every word
Could we lose the facades
Are we just jealous gods

With every wall ablaze around us
Calling out your name like it's now and never surrender
Victory is yours to claim
By every trick of light by sleight of hand
That makes a miracle reality right where you stand
They got their claws in good and deep
So you see there ain't no placing the blame

And so I'll build a bridge between us
Arcs of soaring rainbows
Strength of mother earth
For a brand new start

And instil new faith to guide us
Blind and sweet like free flow
With every single word

We won't go down as frauds
Like jealous gods
Like jealous gods
We are the perfect flaws
Perfect with our flaws
Just jealous gods
Just jealous gods
We're the perfect flaws
The perfect flaws

I can sense your apprehension
Fear for naught for I'm here and I'm made of your love
Found in the quick of things

And we can walk the bridge between us
Arcs of soaring rainbows
Strength of mother earth
Let it fill our hearts

And instil a faith to guide us
Blind and sweet like free flow
There's a joy for every hurt

Forgiveness in the flaws
Even for jealous gods


3. RUMORS

Like whispered hot secrets your restless dreams will fade away
In still life like motion slow through the frantic rush of the day
With lackeys of lust crowding the streets

And I know they would steal your heart to see my love tortured
Render trust a hostage to fortune
Rumors seduce like fire

Seducing illusions driving the chariot of hearts astray
Standing silent vigil over the moments of ease that still remain
With a thorn to the side for every good deed

And I know they would steal your heart to see my love tortured
Render trust a hostage to fortune
Rumors seduce like fire

Every day is a day we awake into this life
Another chance another line to define
And we will dance, we will play, and experience a lifetime
Every day is a day we die

Cause I know they would steal your heart to see my love tortured
Render trust a hostage to fortune
Rumors seduce like fire

And I know they would steal your heart to see my love tortured
Render trust a hostage to fortune
Rumors seduce like wildfire

Steal your heart to see my love tortured to see my love tortured
Render trust a hostage to fortune
Rumors seduce like fire


4. BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN

I'm in way too deep like a poser
And falling for the dream's just the ground getting closer
I guess it's how our lives get painted in scars
With everything riding on a joker
With the paradise syndrome strap on for spurs
Regret is the skin you shed just to make it this far

I need you to find me, I can no longer breathe
I want you to touch me, just to know I still feel, oh

Like a miracle you change me, raise me
Brighter than the sun till I'm ready to be me
And your love is the reason, yeah
Like a miracle you wake me, make me
Brighter than the sun when it used to blind me
I know your love is the reason
Love never goes out of season

I got nothing to call a solution
Not a penny to my name, just riding the motion
Yet like a child I still reach for the stars
But if this darkened hole is my conclusion
And the mother of pearl world is just a notion
I lose for playing out my part in this farce

I need you to find me, I can no longer breathe
And I want you to touch me, just to know I still feel, oh

Like a miracle you change me, raise me
Brighter than the sun till I'm ready to be me
And your love is the reason, yeah
Like a miracle you wake me, make me
Brighter than the sun when it used to blind me
I know your love is the reason
Love never goes out of season

Just remember when it's time speak your mind,
speak your mind, you gotta show them how
Show them how you wanna live your life
Just one life, one life, all in the now

Like a miracle you change me, raise me
Brighter than the sun till I'm ready to be me
And your love is the reason, yeah
Like a miracle you wake me, make me
Brighter than the sun when it used to blind me
I know your love is the reason
Love never goes out of season


5. LOVE WILL COME TO YOU

Hey, what's going on? Whatcha doin' here?
Is there something wrong tonight?
Do you remember who I chose to be?
My best friend in this life
Life doesn't run a clear course
It flows through from within
It's supposed to take you places and leave markings on your skin

And those marks are just a sign of something true
you witnessed in your time
Of something new, like the start of something fine

Like morning dew love will come again to you
Like morning dew
Morning dew

Hey, can you tell me who you are?
The colour of your dawn
When the gates are open from last night's revelry on the lawn
And when the sounds of laughter still echo in your dreams
The smoke screen disappears and nothing is what it seems

And your tears have been worthwhile
They got you through to a different place and time where all is new
To the start of something fine

Like morning dew your love will come again to you
Like morning dew

Love is there when you open the door
and you step off the trail you knew before
Through the streets and the houses of gods you roam
and on their altars you lay your heart of stone

Till all laughter is claws on your skin
and your moments of clarity scream the hell within
When you fade like a rose in the gloom love waits outside your room

Like morning dew your love will come again to you
Morning dew


6. ROGUE

(Instrumental)


7. REBIRTH

What is beauty compared to grief
What is joy in league with sorrow
A dead rushes' fleet drifting on a quiet tide

And does a sunset know its worth
Making yesterday tomorrow
Is there a silence on this earth before every tear's been cried

For you, for you
I would bring down the heavens on this earth
For you, for you
I would even trust the devil for rebirth

With every road once paved with gold
Both hands with a heart to hold
How could we look past all the stories we have told

Could we lose ourselves again
In a childlike faith
Trust the wishing well, dance like Tinker Bell

For you, for you
I would walk forever through this barren land
For you, for you
I would hold a deadly viper in my hand

For you, for you
I would bring down the heavens on this earth
For you, for you
I would even trust the devil for rebirth


8. HOUNDS TO HAMARTIA

A single kiss for your treasure
There just left at your door
Life has shown you no pleasure before

Double cross for a symbol
Name your rosary beads
You will nurture the fable till it bleeds
Bleeds for your love

No more tragic love for sale in the crooked gallery
High on acid love gone stale seems like fantasy
Just like magic Hubris leads, leads its hounds, hounds to Hamartia

What you eclipse makes your measure
What you leave reaches for you in your stead
Taking flaws for a gamble to get ahead

No remorse for the trouble spread
In the revolution

No more tragic love for sale in the crooked gallery
High on acid love gone stale seems like fantasy
Just like magic Hubris leads, leads its hounds, hounds to Hamartia

Hit or miss you'll be playing
Paying your dues cos you need the game all the same
Fame draws you like fireflies to the flame
Play all on red

No more tragic love for sale in the crooked gallery
High on acid love gone stale seems like fantasy
Just like magic Hubris leads, leads its hounds, hounds to Hamartia


9. CLEAR BLUE SKY

I want to feel the sun shine
On my face like a new day's just begun
And I'll steal a moment's fun
And reflect on all those days long dead and gone

The memories still rock my cradle
Yesterdays sing me a lullaby

I can't fight it
It takes me back
To the days when you and I ran free of worries
Underneath the wide, clear, blue sky

I'll never be the one, no
To regret the things that I have never done
And I'll reason with, with myself till I no longer feel the need to justify

I can't fight it
It takes me back
And I remember reaching high,
like borne on wings of sheer belief through my clear blue sky

Thinking 'bout the times we had
All our days in the sun
Memories now brilliant and mad
They still linger on

Can't fight it
It takes me back
To the days when you and I ran free of worries
Underneath the wide, clear, blue sky

I can't fight it
It takes me back
And I remember reaching high,
like borne on wings of sheer belief through my clear blue sky


10. CHOICE MILLIONAIRE

Cars in the night, cut through the mist
Baby suns for eyes, diamonds on your wrist
Twist in the scheme, a permeating theme
A violin crescendo

Dark violet skies over seas of lead
Hard violent fights, red sun will set
Like a rivulet, like a tear beget
A clear innuendo

Silence of the mind ever deafening
Rain on the roof ever prattling
Straddling truth for the pain you gain for pain
Some bill of rights

Daring getaways, steamy masquerades
Famine of all wars, whores and escapades
Jack of Spades in silk brocades
Velvet nights in city lights

It's a wide wide world out there
And life can be a love affair
Or a cage of sheer despair
You're a choice millionaire

It's a wide wide world out there
You can travel in your easy chair
So build your castles in the air
You're a choice millionaire

Because no one needs any more confessions

Shadows cast without a streak of fear
Moments past, held so dear
A lock of hair, a touch of lip
A lashing whip

Subliminal love for the ones you hate
LOL as I abbreviate
Alleviate if you can relate to the pink slip
Of love unzipped

Minutes burning till seconds pop
Silhouettes dancing till the curtains drop
Stop before you lose your mojo
Your fear of heights

Hot passion flares every pipe dream
Concussion, blindness of a regime
A scream incites, the air ignites
The city lights

It's a wide wide world out there
You can travel in your easy chair
So build your castles in the air
You're a choice millionaire

So put a lacquer on your hunger
Parade the sky that you're under
Without heedless impressions
No one needs more confessions

It's a wide wide world out there
You can travel in your easy chair
So build your castles in the air
You're a choice millionaire


11. NOTHING STAYS THE SAME

I've talked to the ladies down the walk
I've drunk in tattoos that have brought the world to my eyes
Understanding opens doors
to the intricate weave of how good tomorrow could be

Been doused in elixir to numb my pains
And black and white thoughts have all bowed to me
As I've walked through their unlit corridors
And weak as I am you're like an angel standing by me

When sorrow calls my name
I know nothing stays the same

I've talked to the men of high regard
In rooms ever white and my soul grew dark by their words
Softly sweet as kissing lips
A kaleidoscope of no consolation at all

I've bargained my bit with fate and all
With no preconceptions of immortality
I rolled the dice uncompromised
And lost as I am you're my good samaritan

When sorrow calls my name
I know nothing stays the same
