1. Harmonium
Feel free to comprehend
what I see will never end
it can't be now that life is gone
it's too real to overcomeit's too real
it's too real
it's too realAnd these days my hands are tied
these days I think you'll find I'm not me now a light has died
it's too real to run and hideI was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under I was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let me I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let meFeel free to comprehend
what I see will never end I'm not me now a light has died
it's too real to run and hideI was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under I was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let me I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let me
2. Balance
Glad to see your wide awake
this is the great escape
from a life that tried to mould you
and the lie it sold youWhat would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?Did you try to reason why
look yourself in the eye
what you are is all you have been
what will be is all you do nowWhat would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?Spill a tear as your sense of self slowly
melts away
melts away
melts awayUntil death's mirror reflects
the meaning of our lives
we wander aimless and mesmerised
as the fear starts to rise
3. Closer
Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
to be trapped
Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
to be trapped inside
to be trapped inside
to be trapped inside
All your life
Shine in time
Shine in time
Shine in time
Until you find
Your closer
Your closer
to the truth
Within you
Within you
Within you
Is the truth
That your dream world is a very scary place
That your dream world is a very scary place
That your dream world is a very scary place
to be trapped inside
to be trapped inside
to be trapped inside
All your life
Your closer
Your closer
Your closer
to the truth
Within you
Within you
Within you
Is the truth
4. Are You There?
Are you there?
the wondeful to know
All like ghosts
All the ghosts
Freak my selfish out
(my) mind is happy
Need to learn to let it go
I know you'd do no harm to me
Since you've been gone I've been lost inside
Tried and failed as we walked by the riverside
oh I wish you could see the love in her eyes
the best friend that eluded you lost in time
Burned alive in the heat of a grieving mind
oh what can I say now?
And it couldn't be more wrong cos there's no one there
Unmistakebly least and without a care
oh (did we) lose all the love that we could have shared
And its wearing me down
And its turning me round
And I can't find a way now
to find it out
oh where are you when I need you?
Are you there?
Are you there?
5. Childhood Dream
6. Pulled Under at 2000 Metres a Second
Just freedom is only a hallucination
that wait's at the edge of the distant horizon
and we are all strangers in global illusion
wanting and needing impossible heaven
Chasing the dream as they swim out to sea
the mirage ahead says that they can be free
become lost in delusion drowning their reason
swept on by the current of selfish ambition
Frightened ashamed and afraid of the blame
the questions are screaming the answers are hiding
the sickness is growing distracted condition
you can feel the disgust and smell the confusion
Lying insane getting soaked in the rain
draining the sky of the guilt and the shame
the nightmare is coming the clouds are descending
pulled under two thousand metres a second
Clawing at walls that just slip through my fingers
darkness consuming collapsing and breaking
distilled paranoia seeped into the walls
and filled in the cracks with the whispering calls
Shadows are forming take heed of the warnings
creeping around at four in the morning
lie to myself start a brand new beginning
but I'm losing myself in this fear of living
Freedom is only a hallucination
that wait's at the edge of the places you go when you dream
deep in the reason betrayal of feeling
Freedom is only a hallucination
that wait's at the edge of the places you go when you dream ....
Freedom is only a hallucination
that wait's at the edge of the places you go when you dream
deep in the reason betrayal of feeling
freedom is only a hallucination
that wait's at the edge of the places you go when you dream...
7. A Natural Disaster
It's been a long, cold winter
without you
I've been crying on the inside
Over you
You've just slipped through my fingers
So life turned away
It's been a long, cold winter
Since that day..
And it's hard to find, hard to find, hard to find the strenght now
but I try
And I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna to speak now
of what's gone by
Cause no matter what I say, no matter what I do
I can't change what happend, can't change what happend
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
Can't change what happend, can't change what happend
no matter what I say, no matter what I do
Can't change what happend, can't change what happend
No, no, can't change
You've just slipped through my fingers
And now I feel so ashamed
You've just slipped through my fingers
and I've paid
8. Flying
Started a search to no avail
a light that shines behind the veil trying to find it
And all around us everywhere
Is all that we could ever share if only we could see it
Feel there's truth that's beyond me
Life ever changing weaving destiny
And it feels like I'm flying above you
Dream that i'm dying to find the truth
Seems like your trying to bring me down
Back down to earth back down to earth
Layers of dust and yesterdays
Shadows fading in the haze of what I couldn't say
And though I said my hands were tied
Times have changed and now I find I'm free for the first time
Feel so close to everything now
Strange how life makes sense in time now
And it feels like I'm flying above you
Dream that I'm dying to find the truth
Seems like your trying to bring me down
Back down to earth back down to earth
Back down to earth back down to earth
Back down to earth back down to earth
9. Electricity
Seems like you never really knew me
seems like you never understood me
seems like you never really knew how to feel
but electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
There were times you really made me smile
and there were times you really made me cry
and there were times I never really knew how to feel
but electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
and the fear made you so unsure of me
what you needed was to be rid of me.
But electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
and the fear made you so unsure of me
what you needed was to be rid of me
10. Violence
