1. So Much Is Lost
SO MUCH IS LOST
What this seems to be, what this seems to be, is real
All of my life is changing
You're the enemy, you're the enemy, I fear
All of my life is changing, always some rearranging
So much is lost, so much disharmony
So much is lost, no voice of sympathy
My identity, my identity, is not real
All of my life is changing
All of my lies you're facing
So much is lost, so much disharmony
So much is lost, no voice of sympathy
What this seems to be, what this seems to be, is real
All of my life seems wasted, all of my life seems wasted
So much is lost, so much disharmony
So much is lost, no voice of sympathy
So much is lost, so much disharmony
So much is lost, no voice of sympathy
2. Nothing Sacred
NOTHING SACRED
My life is not too whole
Its understanding why
I take when I owe
I can't explain
But it seems like its going wrong again
And it feels like its going wrong again
My life is oh so cold
Misunderstanding now
It seems that I'm slow
Its seems obscene
But you steal and you're on the run again
And you steal and you're on the run again
Without the strength to hold
Onto what's sinking
I'll pretend its all show
I can reveal
But it seems like its going wrong again
And it feels like its going wrong again
But it seems like its going wrong again
And it feels like its going wrong again
3. In All Honesty
IN ALL HONESTY
Sit alone and celebrate good times of change
Sit alone anticipate great times of change
But their all washed away with laughter
As we wait to perish, turn to ashes
Things we've all gone through.....
Sit alone and celebrate good times of change
Sit alone annihilate all words of praise
When it all seems to spell disaster...
Words of wisdom have no meaning
In all honesty
Its just fiction, your religion
No apology
There's no concealing the things that I do
There's no concealing the things that I choose
Sit alone and celebrate good times of change
Sit alone anticipate great times of change
But their all washed away with laughter
Words of wisdom have no meaning
In all honesty
Your religions contradiction
But you cannot see
Words of wisdom add frustration
To our agony
Constant knowing, always showing
Endless sympathy
4. Harbour
HARBOUR
The need to know gives a strange reaction
The need to know kills my soul, my passion
When will I know, just how far this goes
I feel the glow of a man whose tasted loss
Fail each time, strong in mind
Turn each page that you wrote
Now and then you'll see me there always pale with despair
The safe release bears no threat or danger
The tide is weak, but may welcome strangers
This joy it seems maybe just a dream
A soul unclean, like a man whose tasted woe
Fail each time, strong in mind
Turn each page that you wrote
Now and then you'll see me there always pale with despair
Fail each time, strong in mind
Turn each page that you wrote
Now and then you'll see me there always pale with despair
5. Ordinary Days
ORDINARY DAYS
Breathing life, as true as honest work
Breathing life, a truth for all its worth
You want to seem to be as fragile as can be
I want to roll inside that shell you call a mind
Breathing life, as frail as insincere
Breathing life, too cold to shed a tear
You want to seem to be as fragile as can be
I want to see the things that I'm supposed to see
I want to know the fear that sets inside of me
I want to breathe the air, like I was meant to on ordinary days
You want to seem to be as fragile as can be
I want to see the things that I'm supposed to see
I want to know the fear that sets inside of me
I want to breathe the air, like I was meant to on ordinary days
6. It's Too Late
IT'S TOO LATE
Feared and loathed besides....
It's such a tragedy
I've seen all others try
It ends in misery
Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it's too late?
Fragrant your remarks
You offered sympathy
Read between the lines?
The dream is honesty
Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it's too late? now,
Could you stand back and set this soul free
Before it's too late?
Dealt the loosing hand
No need for jealousy
As our worlds collapse
Who will the saviours be?
Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it's too late? now,
Could you stand back and set this soul free
Before it's too late?
7. Permanent Solution
PERMANENT SOLUTION
For the end, the time I'm feeling host
And I'm turning it around for you
Lord I feel I tried much more than most
And I've done the things I wanted to
It's that useless contribution that leads to a solution for me
You don't need to search for answers or hide behind romances again..
For that very sign to leave this world
And I'm turning it around for you
On the edge of life it seems so low
And you've done the things you wanted to....
It's that finer concentration of total liberation for me
And the more that I believe in the less that I'm receiving instead..
It's that useless contribution that leads to a solution for me
You don't need to search for answers or hide behind romances again..
It's that finer concentration of total liberation for me
And the more that I believe in the less that I'm receiving instead..
8. Behind the Grey
BEHIND THE GREY
I can't see much truth in what's being spoken
I can't see much hope in what lays broken
I can't see much truth in what's being spoken
I can't see much hope in what lays broken
I've seen it many times
Prey for that day when you'll leave behind the grey
Prey for that day when your feet could walk on different soil
You've felt an omen..
"Oh another" I've heard this many times
When I speak, silence
So assured that you could find ...i seek it more
Prey for that day when you'll leave behind the grey
Prey for that day when your feet could walk on different soil
I can't see much truth in what's being spoken
I can't see much hope in what lays broken
Prey for that day when you'll leave behind the grey
Prey for that day when your feet could walk on different soil
Prey for that day when you'll leave behind the grey
Prey for that day, and that night you came
You came and saw the earth....
9. Wreck
WRECK
See the hands that wave their last goodbye
Talk with friends of god sometimes
You'll see its not that simple any more somehow
Don't say its not that simple any more somehow
Save your weak demands for one who cares
No more can I fake this
You'll see its not that simple anymore somehow
Don't say its not that simple anymore somehow
Fear demands its say, it's where I've failed, its sad to say
Faith will find a way, accept the shames, a loosing game
See the hands that wave their last goodbye
Talk with friends of god sometimes
You'll see its not that simple any more somehow
Don't say its not that simple any more somehow
Fear demands its say, it's where I've failed, its sad to say
Faith will find a way, accept the shames, a loosing game
Fear demands its say, it's where I've failed, its sad to say
Faith could find a way, accept the shames, a loosing game
10. Made the Same
MADE THE SAME
You may need some honest words to heal
You may need some honest words, so ill say them..
Oh lord knows why..
Cause I'm made of the same as your made
If I struggle with ill fortune that's my way
You may have fortune enough to breathe
You may feel that that's enough, so lets pray then..
Oh lord knows why
Cause I'm made of the same as your made
If I choose to fear rejection that's my way...
Do you think you'll live forever, a goal at any cost
You control your prize endeavor a game in which you've lost..
Live to breathe new life forever blinded by the cause
If you think you'll live forever the games already lost
Its so cold...many years to go
Its so cold...many years to go
Cause I'm made of the same as your made
If I struggle with ill fortune that's my way
Cause I'm made of the same as your made
If I choose to fear rejection that's my way...
Cause I'm made of the same as your made
11. Deep
DEEP
Living life today
When tomorrow brings this trail of desperate thoughts
Living so afraid
When tomorrow brings this trail of simple thoughts
Give in for one day
Face the absolute that things won't go your way
I cannot overstate the problems you have caused
When they all seem to be much deeper than before
Living for today
When tomorrow brings this trail of damaged thoughts
Living for today
Until the afternoon reactions take their course
I cannot overstate the problems you have caused
When they all seem to be much deeper than before
Anger so deep and anger so alive
Anger so deep and anger so alive
I cannot overstate the problems you have caused
When they all seem to be much deeper than before
I cannot overstate the problems you have caused
When they all seem to be much deeper than before
12. Year of Summer
YEAR OF SUMMER
There's two arms you could break
How low can you descend
Approach the subject kindly
You've chosen to defend
Those tears are not for real
They're falling on command
A harsh decision maybe
You're living on remand
Your mind is thinking madness
Much more you could not take
Before you fall on bad days
And lower your defence as always...
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
My stomach tends to fold
When I speak of your name
Accept that you're regretful
Accept that you're not safe
Your life is contradiction
A life that's bruised and torn
I've chosen toleration
You've chosen to dismiss as always
Suddenly demanding, the truth is always worse when you are sober
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
"This sadness is my own"
13. Host
HOST
Hear your soothing comfort loud
One knows it's not too quiet
All consuming circumstance
Can lead to our dysfunction
I see no life behind your weary eyes
I see the looks you struggle to disguise
I've seen all vital signs begin to slip
Oh its much too late for you to aim, you only miss
Say you'll pay the consequence
And though we all can't see it
Time will challenge your defence
Alive but you can't feel it
I see no life behind your weary eyes
I see the looks you struggle to disguise
I've seen all vital signs begin to slip
Oh its much too late for you to aim, you only miss
I see no life behind your weary eyes
I see the looks you struggle to disguise
I've seen all vital signs begin to slip
Oh its much too late for you to aim, you only miss
