swimming up the river of your mind far in meet the giver of your life failing is the world's way of saying you're right failing is the world's way to keep you in sight and soon you'll know what is happening here and soon you'll know why there's nothing to fear and soon you'll know how to break down the wall and soon you'll know that there's nothing at all follow undead armies to your grave shallow unfed legions, wave after wave wielding severed claws and rotting teeth onward gnashing jaws and stamping feet you'll never know what is happening here you'll never know why there's nothing to fear you'll never know how to break down the wall you'll never know that there's nothing at all summon fallen squadrons to your side pushing back defence lines, marching wide lay this world to waste and burn the trees we won't stop until this land is deceased acres upon acres of burnt, scattered, ruinous land the still sea weeps silently under a deep grey sky a single bird hovers overhead searching for food for its starving family the sun sets blood red closes its sleepy eyes on the world never to rise again o! weep sad city ye that are fallen into the dust and the dirt out of which we were raised o! weep sad city the people that once saw a great light now walk in darkness o! weep sad city your fair mother has fallen writhing, spitting on the ground where sleep poison, sins & money o! weep sad city for your brothers your sisters your children your shallow mind denies all probability weep now or forever hold your peace and yet... venomous snakes spitting wild cats howling there is no-one left to weep

falling fast to reach the sky faith believes nor questions why don't know what i'm here to do don't know why i'm here with you i'm wasting my time i'm wasting my time i'm wasting my time oh my oh my oh my if jesus is the one true lord can buddha have the final word? if mohammed has got it right how can i ever see the light? i'm wasting my time am i wasting my time if i'm wasting my time should i just some people want to leave this place we're happy going our own pace to reach the stars would be untrue to grasp the gutter's what i'll do i'm wasting my time i'm wasting my time i'm wasting my time oh my oh my oh my
3.	Dusky Red (feat. Jim Morrison) 02:04	lyrics	buy track
speak to werther, hear his cry hear him say his time is nigh follow him and lose yourself follow him and no-one else bodhidharma says sit down time to spread some peace around need to heed his sound advice no-one should leave here tonight (lock the doors chain the gangways tie the people to their seats no-one leaves tonight) pour the oil of sacred rites set a flame to charge the night flay the beast that charges on flay this evil singer's song (i am the lizard king retire now to your tents and to your dreams tomorrow we enter the town of my birth i want to be ready)
4.	Birdsong 02:32	lyrics	buy track
i'm afraid it's true i've lost my mind it's been going now for quite some time it simply wouldn't wait and now i'm far too late i'm afraid it's true, i've lost my mind haven't been to sleep and it's getting light i woke up at noon, i stayed up all night i'm singing to the birds they're hearing every word haven't been to sleep and it's getting light
5.	Mindless 04:07	lyrics	buy track
so there is no way to make the right mistakes i would have told you that yesterday and now you're mindless, declaring that they're fakes i would have told you that yesterday to be so whiny must really be a pain you seem unhappy, it really is a shame your useless knowledge must really hurt your mind you are precisely what i wouldn't be i can't explain how much fault there is to find in what you think and what you say to me to be so whiny must really be a pain you seem unhappy, it really is a shame
6.	Paint Me A Picture 03:29	lyrics	buy track
on the floor, on my back drank a lot, smoked a pack rollerblades and motorcars won't get me to where you are crazy dreams of thumping beats fancy dreams of diamond streets music takes all stress away music lives another day what're you doing? what'd you say? stop looking at me please go away foolishly believe my eyes see the heavens in the skies what's up there, i need to know take me there, i want to go fly with the eagle soar with the breeze paint me a picture stay with me please pull my legs beneath my spine meditate to pass the time concentrate on between breaths concentrate myself to death tumbling inwards towards my goal cut off the anchor touching my soul
7.	Gutter/Stars 05:20	lyrics	buy track
one frail hand on the gutter one weak hand on the stars got one hand on walking got the other on cars i wonder whether i should win or lose i never know which one to choose i could act well-mannered i could be uncouth i could play pretentious i could seem unschooled would it even matter? should you even care? why's the art of music all gone so vanity fair? bet you think you're helping when you're proving the proof keep on asking questions i might just tell you the truth smile away in your office stab some backs to get paid there the mighty are fallen here the humble are raised
8.	Capo Five 03:39	lyrics	buy track
have you ever seen life move? have you ever seen it groove? did you know there's nothing there? did you know life's yours to share? wonder what is going on think of what you've gained and won leave behind the sore of pain and doubt you don't when you'll be moving out and there's nothing you can do but to live life with pride and there's nothing you can say but you never had to hide and there's nothing you can keep so you needn't have tried when it's over you say goodbye one day walking down the road a friend of mine was getting cold said "i need some help, oh man" lit a fire and now he's gone moving on, it's faster now falling up and down and round you should stop here, take some time to breathe you should live here, you should never leave and there's nothing you can do but to live life with pride and there's nothing you can say but you never had to hide and there's nothing you can keep so you needn't have tried when it's over you say goodbye but nothing ever feels like it should nothing ever feels like it should nothing ever feels like it should nothing ever feels like it should and there's nothing you can do but to live life with pride and there's nothing you can say but you never had to hide and there's nothing you can keep so you needn't have tried when it's over you say goodbye
