1. True To Life
Isn't it true to life
You don't know who you are
You're just some older tramp
Sympathy ain't gonna get you far
Isn't it true to life
You don't know where to go
You're just some north or south
Sympathy, ain't gonna take you low
Missing the train again
Time has slipped and passed you by
Missing thte train again
Time has slipped and passed you by
Fading parts for bleeding hearts
Isn't it true, isn't it true to life?
Television has made you
2. Rise
Wake up my friend
Time is on the rise
Don't you pretend to feel the other side
Wishing to end the anfer and thet strife
Don't you defend when actions take a life
Cuz time is on the rise
Can't understand, pulmonary lives
Life without end, determination minds
Cry and command, weeding out the ties
Cry and command, divorcing weaker minds
Said, time is on the rise
You
I don't feel no obligation
Fool
Is carrying an empty weapon
Alone
Is one without a situation
I don't care what you think I should
Be
3. Paralyzed
Faces talk, but actions are slower
Hands hang empty, when they don't
Have the power
Heads hang down, choosing not to follow
All blind floow, freedom is just a word
So you say, you see the good in everyone
The light in dark times
A shiny sparkle in the dullest mind
Move like silver, cry like quickness
A blur to see for a blinding eye
Forgive me that my hands are tied
Forgive me that my eyes are blind
Forgive me that my hands are tired
Because you see I'm paralyzed
All our lives, how else can it be?
All blind follow, freedom is just a word
It god decides to take away my feet
Roll me to the hills to sleep
If he denies the uses my my legs
Bring me to the lakes to pray
It god decides to take away my hands
Take me to the sand to cry
If more than this he takes away my eyes
Take me to the woods to die
Faces talk, but actions are slower
Hands stain red, when they get too much power
4. Quick Bright Things
Whatever that you think
Is only whatever that you know
Nothings gonna fill that void
Nothing that you know
Wanting you for myself
Is only wanting you for myself
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my wind
Wanting you for myself
Is only wanting you all the time
You are just like me, you are my lies
Crossed right out and blacked right out
Quick bright thing, I know your pain
Save my life, and I'll save face
A few small things, I have on me
They are mine
But they aren't me
5. White Man
White man
Angry man
Betrayed by your government
White man
Lonely man
Looked down upon my the other men
Right?
What man
Could make a stand
Beat down upon the other men
That man, is a lonely man
Looked down upon by the other men
Right?
Would you do the same for me?
Would you die to set me free?
Would you, would you?
Yeah, right
White man
Angry man
Betrayed by your government
White man
Lonely man
Looked down upon by the other men
Right?
6. Retarded
I can feel the thoughts inside your head
Lost between your mind and what's been said
And when you smile
It's like a child
And I feel good
I can feel the love inside of you
Let it be over
This cage without words
This world without feelings
Misguided, misfortune
7. Phobos Y Damos
Turn naroudn with my sister moon
Pulled away from my mother
Mercury is in retrograde
Deep inside of my own earth
Don't leave me damos
Come around to her dark side
She moved don't leave me damos
My mercury is in retrograde
Deep inside of my own earth
Don't leave me damos
I feel the same as she does
I feel the same as my sister
Free of earth, free of love
Deep inside of my own earth
Free of hate, free of love
Deep inside of my own earth
Free of faith, free of love
Deep inside of my own earth
Don't leave me damos
How many times round the sun do we go?
How many days like this must we know
I'm not staring, I'm just looking
Through your eyes
8. Outside
Outside, he's lying
To buy some time
Inside, it's crawling
Just like before
I told you I tell you get out of the way
You never believed me before
It's coming to get you, it's on the way
Find you a way to the door
We tried to find you
You lied so now you
Can't escape
9. Chemical Portrait
All wheels roll
Wings carry me
On my way
Hands are forced today
Oh so lonely
Just want to rest
Sleep for two years
Wake up in tears
Find out my angels are dead
I've been around the world
And i've lost touch with the things
I live my life from the inside out
And I've become sexual, so unintellectual
In being shut right out
You feel so crossed right out
You feel so blacked right out
In being shut right out
Oh so lonely
Just want to rest
Sleep for two years
Wake up in tears
Find out my angels are dead
So you're record comes out today
Did you play it for mom
I won't be around to see you play
Cuz I'm long dead and gone
I've been aroudn the world
And I've lost touch with things
I live my life from the inside out
And I've become sexual, so unintellectual
All wheels roll
Wings carry me
High above my dirty world
High above me
10. O ´othham
I saw it coming all in my head
They gave us food then
We turned our backs on them
We gave our reasons
We got to hell
We stole their precious water
Kicked thtem while they fell
Way now is turning
You can see the anger again
Eating inside, you can feel the
Healing begins
Tired, quiet
Thankful for a new day
Quet, tired
Feel the both sides at all
Lu Lu
She's dancing for a new day
Lu Lu
She is dancing for thte old way
"Heaven and earth will pass away"
This I heard her Lu Lu say
"Heaven and earth will pass away,
Sapuntakt"
The second coming
The second chance
Will we destroy
Or will we rejoin earth song dance
We give our money
We give our hell
They give us quiet moments
Skies that take us in
Sky people, dancing for a new day
Free people, dancing for the old way
"Heaven and earth will pass away"
This I heared her Lu Lu say
"Heaven and earth will pass away,
(And I'm glad)"
11. Colony
Walking on a white plane, horizons
Touch the son
Stretching out, always forward,
Always forward
To the first rats of the new rising sun
A burning message for everyone
We get our words all together now
For the first time from all the people
We stand facing ourselves
Being and end, leave no prints in sands
We live as an energy, within you and
Without you
Walking with some close friends,
Staring at the moon
Stretching out always forward,
Always forward
