Cage
03:47
|

The air is thick with culture
Burning silence underneath
A million eyes gaze round but all see the same thing
And as the rain beats down
Onto the barren city streets
Are we the only ones that see?
That we live in a contradiction
The death of fact for the birth of fiction
Dont dare offend so they always aim to please
Let me out of the cage or come on in
Let me out of the cage or come on in
Give me silence what I want its all I need
To quit believing in a world of fallacy
Lack the patience needed to live in mediocrisy
Are we the only ones that see?
That we live in a contradiction
The death of fact for the birth of fiction
Dont dare offend so they always aim to please
Let me out of the cage or come on in
Let me out of the cage or come on in
These rules mean nothing to this brain
washed pride leaves the masses i their sway
Let your fears run away with your open mind
All we need is time, all we need is time
To burn this blindfold and open up your eyes
Let me out of the cage or come on in
Let me out of the cage or come on in...

Gilded Mask
03:25
|

You say so because I dont know or care why
Why would I?
Been let down, firmer firm ground
Cold ego tells a story
Speak like you never judge and hold your head up firmly
Blame the other for the change
And don't forget
You're just another memory to me
Give out answers like betrayal
Keep your distance if you're able
I've pretended for too long now
That distant pain is buried under
Spill solvent on your soul
When it all goes
There's nothing true about your gilded mask
Pull the shards into place
And invent yourself another past
Give out answers like betrayal
Keep your distance if you're able
I've pretended for too long now
That distant pain is buried under
Give out answers like betrayal
Keep your distance if you're able
I've pretended for too long now
That distant pain is buried under
You don't own me
You don't
You don't own me now!

Hotel Hovel

The old man in your dreams
Tells a future you will see
About where you will go
And what you will be
But he's just a phantom of an imagination wild
He has no place in this space and time
What is a thought but the key to a cage?
What are drugs but the rivers to erode you away?
Blinded by guidance
Pretentious messiahs
Preach from their high street plateau
So just burn your obsessions
Or be naked and alone
Wearing opinions that you never owned
What is a thought but the key to a cage?
What are drugs but the rivers to wash you away?
What is a thought but the key to a cage?
What are drugs but the rivers to erode you away?
The drones are washing themselves of themselves
With smoke that just leaves a stain on their minds
The queen never says she will lock you away
In a hive hotel for castaways
Away...

Man in the storm
04:57

See the water running down
The rising well so very tall
See the eye so very round
Falling with your true loves name
In the desert now they hide
Speaking with their different phrase
Turning all your paths around
Symbols of your past are found
And it hurts you so
It hurts you so
Fallen stars you found too soon
Whispering fate and fortunes fools
In the dark you find your name
Many time and time again, and time and time again
Watch the love you hate to give
Feeling lost you turn around
To find the futures on your back
Carried by your weary hands
And it hurts you so
It hurts you so

Swift Revenge
04:23

In this thought space
No links to the outside
Surrounded by memories I wait
I wait...
If I lost myself here I would not know
Keep on waiting until my surroundings flood within
Imagination can become real
That how I found you
Inside my own dreams
I told you I would return
I will take you away with me
Forever
There is no darkness here
It's only what we make
This time is yours
My gift to you
You can make it yours
Or you can make it ours
Or you can destroy
As you don't trust
In everything you see
Imagination can become real
That how I found you
Inside my own dreams
I told you I would return
I will take you away with me
Forever
Destroy me in your past
And keep me a memory
I will take my control
And rise...
Trust in me
What choice do you have?
At the end of your life and
Theres only one way to go
All your life was filled
With choices
And you chose this
You chose to create
Me

The Pirate Song
02:29

There's a war on these waves
Hoist the sails into the sky
There's the dead and the living
And the ones that cant decide
But fight and unite
For the freedom we once knew
Voidstalkers
coming for you!
Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna),
Load the guitar cannons
Shoot (we're gonna), shoot (we're gonna),
Shoot them at the enemy
Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna),
Load the riff cannons
Shoot (ready), shoot, (aim) shoot
Them all down to hell (FIRE!)
Why did i agree to write this song?
It's all gone so wrong....
All the cannons will be shot
But not into hell
For I am pure Evil
And my plans I will tell
Before the dawn comes they will be on me crew
Or walking the plank is what they will do so
Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna),
Load the guitar cannons
Shoot (we're gonna), shoot (we're gonna),
Shoot them at the enemy
Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna),
Load the riff cannons
Shoot (ready), shoot, (aim) shoot
Them all down to hell (FIRE!)
Why did i agree to write this song?
It's all gone so wrong...
Theres always more fun when there's
Always more fun when there's
Always more fun when there's rum!

Lung Butter

It starts
When you're lying in bed
Wondering if the timers out
On the pressure fuse in your head
You know that this isn't right
And there's no reason to be feeling that your muscles are bound tight
So I take a page from the wall
Read letters, cant attach a meaning at all
So i stare at the page from the wall
Can't think of anything for the
Lung Butter
True pathogen blues
Lung Butter
Holds no excuse
Lung Butter
Put's your throat in a noose
Lung Butter
Doesn't give a reason to you
Lung butter
When its holding your cards you are screwed
Cos it wants you
Sunrise arrives and puts the night time to bed
Thoughts can't travel far within the contents of your waterlogged head
The heat sets your mind alight
And by twenty two to seven revelations are in sight
Surrounded by leopards in black velvet gowns
Angry shadows and a man who spins his head like an owl
Playing his keyboard his notes dark and load
He's just another victim of
Lung Butter
True pathogen blues
Lung Butter
Holds no excuse
Lung Butter
Put's your throat in a noose
Lung Butter
Doesn't give a reason to you
Lung butter
When its holding your cards you are screwed
Cos it wants you
One bizarre world has it's madness on show
Its people wear masks and don't seek whats important
Wasted in bed with a feverish glow
Think Im awake but it segways and segways away
Blurs up the lines from what is and can never be
Chained to the Earth
Made my choice on which way to go
Think I'm awake but I'll never
I'll never
I'll never
I'll never know

Not Quite Right
06:22
|

Where the light shines on you
Different colours all around
There are things I think you knew
This is not a normal situation
Underneath the surface
I've not been quite right
Why can't you see?
These defenses are burying me
Telling secrets in the dark
But it doesn't mean I'm any closer to your heart
So tell me what you need
Cos' I don't ever want to let you down again
There are many ways to make a smile
And everyone is just as beautiful to me
So there's no reason to hide
You should be happy now
Not holding in your pain
Underneath the surface
I've not been quite right
Why can't you see?
These defenses are burying me
Underneath the surface
I've not been quite right
Why can't you see?
These defenses are killing me

Nurture Vs Nunchuck
04:31

You've been floating around again, flaunting yourself
So everybody will know and everybody sees
Justified by the actions of those who know you the most
You feast on
Another socialite gathering that's just not to be missed
Those unmerciful hormones will draw in what you'd resist
As the watered down liquor slowly loosens your grip
You lose a part of yourself
You make me question why I tolerate this
A slave to the lowbrain and its chemical hits
There's nothing complex about you yet you still baffle me
Etch your name on the christened and throw your
Shit at the rest
Taking trips with your ego
Fuel your hearts fastest beat
A needless Jesus still has judases that he cant defeat
You keep on turning those heads to press them into the sheets
You might as well be alone
You make me question why
I tolerate this
And I can assert
What we both know is right
But still you’ll lie with me tonight
And still you wont believe it
And still you wont believe it
As the millions wasted
Look to their home from their floors
This hollow little world is whole
Its all over the walls, it covers the floor
Pieces of ego
Not secured
I've emptied
Myself into you
A part of me
Now a part of you
There's nothing here
At least nothing new
The hole in me
For the hole in you

Come here
Wasting my time
With sweet talk and memories
That girl is gone
And she’s locked the door now
Find me a future
And I'll make my own before you
Falling in love with you
Feels like, falling away from you
And I just can't hold on anymore
Come here
With empty promises
Now I can keep myself warm
And away from you
I can hold the silence forever
Until you think to ask me
What it was worth to you?
Falling in love with you
Feels like, falling away from you
And I just can't hold on anymore
SURFACE
Come here
With these stains
Wasted opportunities, it’s me that you blame
The clocks are changing
Set always to these small distractions
So that we never question
The things we should
The things that we should...
