Karmic Apology (2111)

Lyrics:
Sorry
Work Hard, Be Brave, Have Faith.
An enemy will try to make you forget danger so he can attack.

Lyrics:
Look beyond these deep red eyes,
Break into tears, break into a smile,
The benefit to take from this lie,
Is that I'll love you better second time
Another year has fallen through,
You watch me as I'm watching you,
I scan your eyes for a simple clue,
That next year our dreams will come true
Just how much love are you willing to find 'cos if you look too hard you could change your mind;
Inside there's another boy broken
Just how much love have you thrown away 'cos if you want some more...
...I'm here to stay
Who will hear my awkward words?
A little boy, a little girl
Look to me to explain this world,
The Theatre Of The Absurd
The Theatre Of The Absurd

Dead Soul Sea (4111)
03:16
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Did I just get what's coming for no reason, I want to know?
Of one thing I am certain, I am the master of fleeting thought.
Tread softly on the dreamer
Drink often with the winner
I am the soul Anubis reposed
And I will die holding you,
Take not a single breath in vain.
And I will fly over you,
Lay me into water, take me to the sea, to the sea

(some) Lyrics:
So if you are up for exploitation, that is what you will get
How can you stand by that decision yet collapse under the strain of it.
I'll give you my view; do what you want with it,
Fight the intrusion in your life

Cancer In My Mind (6111)
02:27
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
I say 'I wont be a moment'
You say 'you wont even notice'
And thats why you left without saying,
That you're sick of the games I am playing
Over and over
Making no effort is futile,
As I circle lost ground in my own mind,
The devil is still in the detail,
But the sin takes the devil's ideal
I watch all the carnage
I need to say some more but I'm left holding the door
The worm lives in the lions body,
suffocating it's foolish oddity,
and as I am wondering of it,
I burst into laughter and you appear,
A cancer in my mind

Inconspicuous (9111)
04:16
|
|||
|
(some) Lyrics:
Sing that song. The one that tells the story of the fading sun - a smile to wipe a face with.
One line spun; One to see the blindness, one to see the dawn.
I am lethargy
This mind cannot defend ingratitude,
This smile will not restore the land
So make your fortune inconspicuous,
I live I learn; I learn I live
So what's your use?
Apathy suspends exertion from the truth,
I am charity
Play to lose; play to be Orions sword, destroy the moon.
I am empty space.
This mind cannot defend ingratitude,
This smile will not restore the land
So make your fortune inconspicuous,
I live I learn; I learn I live
|

Lyrics:
And on the ground it is too hard to resist,
can either go up or down.
And in the cloud, it is too hard to resist,
can't move for the space inside.
It's awkward; Oh Oh
Comin' down fast and really making it easy;
to keep in the present past
Am I? I am; I am amphibian rising,
I'm crossing the line at last
It's normal
You're the space thats in my heart, in my mind
and as long as I don't know where you go I'll be fine.

Immoral Haze (11111)
04:26
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
So are you worth what you think you're worth?
Doesn't seem like it to me.
Escape immoral haze. Spread your decay.
You gambled, won and cleaned your hands with what we earned.
It's panic out there in the real world.
If I were you I'd crawl on my knees for eternity.
You'd sell anything; you'd sell anyone.

One Smart Idiot (12111)
03:34
|
|||
|
Up in the evening I am flying,
Up in the morning I am dying,
Try to believe you're my Messiah
Hung on your shoulders, bold as metal,
Clung on my back as pure as heaven,
Try to restrain but break the level
There is not a chance in hell that I will not be smiling,
when the finger points you out and makes of you a liar
So you gotta grow up man - you weren't born in that doorway
You gotta get real son - it's not the first day of your life
Don't wanna be part of the system
Push you from sight into the distance
Just a sick joke beyond my vision
Cos you are what you are - a jealous bigot,
I am what I am - One Smart Idiot
I never show-off but I have got it
Why can you not find a life beyond being the hero,
Never lift your hand to find some happy like my zero.
So you gotta grow up man - you weren't born in that doorway
You gotta get real son - it's not the first day of your life

Force The Issue (13111)
02:46
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
I wonder where you are,
We are so alike, but I try too hard,
Purer than the flight of a fallen star
To long to be with you
Smoke rises from the fire
I'm not surprised but I still warmly suspire
can i fan the flame from the other side?
Lead me to the water
Should I force the issue
Fading from my view
Are you heading to the same place as me?
Panic sets aside
Fear will keep me right
Far beyond this life, I will find my way to meet you
I wish I had been there
took the choice to get closer than the air
bring it all home - I know who I am there
This lucid eye is mine

Lyrics:
Stretch beyond the safety of the the life confining you; beyond what you've created to hide the way you lose.
Say what has to be said and live it every day.
Faith urges you to work hard, Faith urges you to play, but know...
...that if your conscience doesn't kill you, your bitterness might.
You know how to become wiser.
Before you wake, make your dreams appear as life.
Please don't be silenced
I wont be silenced!
Or sit there being lazy and blame it on the world.
That apathy amazes me; because you claim to work so hard

Lyrics:
I knew from the start how sad you are
Trying to take control, trying to take control
Have we become infiltrated?
I've made my mistakes,
You know that too well,
With that knowledge, try to destroy me.
Reveal your own - then we'll all know
Breathe, before the urge takes you to speak.
It's not your cause, nor effect; not your business anyway
It's not so smart to stare at me hard
But I expect no more (from you)
Try to be apathetic not rude

Lyrics:
I'm settling a score this evening - the havoc you wreak must end!
Suddenly has lost it's meaning,
Despite what you say, You're never gonna change my world
Celebrate the word in theory; swaths cut from the waste of envy
Send another sad song to me. Despite what you say, You're never gonna change my world
I panic and stop - it's love for the lucky, and peace for the happy
I'm frightened, so turn an run
Fill another space with nothing
Oblivion flies. Nullity decrees
Have another go Hercules - cos effort alone is never gonna change the world
|

Lyrics:
I have got wisdom like water, I have got courage like fire,
I am asserting myself, an indivisible liar.
I am the rock that you're standing on
You're the gift that keeps giving
You better keep on going without my love

Lyrics:
There was plenty present in my dreams last night,
Plenty pleasant in my dreams
And I keep thinking about it,
cos I keep wanting to go back where I was
I will make a note of how long it takes this feeling to subside,
And thats how I will find out it's true value - then make it fly

Lyrics:
Breathe me in a blaze of glory,
Filial story, gasping for me
Visualise the pleasure hour,
Pendulum power; love may be ours
Your glacial arms will hold out for now, cos its easy to fall
I see flags and I see people,
Head-turning leathal
I am The Beatle
The panic is undone
|

|
Lyrics:
I don't wanna have to say the same to you as my father said to me,
But it seems this generation hasn't seen it through,
We've let you down, can I make it up to you?
Only if I keep on fighting on
Can you justify this call to arms, or another massacre?
There is no cause or struggle within.
You're so stupid man, being told what to do.
Cos you are too weak to stand alone.
So take your order, follow blind;
and blow before you hear the sign,
To learn that dieing is so credible,
cos God himself has told you so
There's a gaping hole of deceit in your philosophy,
This easy lie pedaled to you
As the stage goes down, you are raising up the roof
And eternity has claimed another fool
