intro
<scream>
dreams have all but died
buried under the rust
that smothers the heartland
verse 1
darkest minds and
twisted hearts
reach out far and
pull apart our lives
destruction is the way of the world
can you feel it your mind
it calls to a primitive time
just look at the signs
drones of death fly skies above
the rivers run red and taste of blood
bodies line the side of the road
just get up and go
don't stop keep running
look back keep running
heart stops keep running
never let go
chorus 1
would you follow the world
into the rays of the sun
beyond the darkness above
resting beyond his touch
who would you choose now
you know what comes round
fires of midnight light
glowing beyond our sight
verse 2
motion blurring the lines
chills run down your spine
its the end of time
and I don't mind
the rules have been broken
bloodlines have spoken
we just can't walk away
from the end of our days
the desert of minds will lie
telling their tales over cheap red wine
walk into these depths of mind
feeling just fine
don't stop keep running
look back keep running
heart stops keep running
never let go
chorus 2
would you follow the world
into the rays of the sun
beyond the darkness above
resting beyond his touch
who would you choose now
you know what comes round
fires of midnight light
glowing beyond our sight
Coda (clean)
these ends of mine
repeat then wind
tick tock the clock
strikes then stops
hear the pulse
stutter convulse
adrift in light
struggle then fight

The Doorway

verse 1
can I fall alive
into my mind
get lost sometimes
out there
with the winds
blowing away
through ruins that go nowhere
and the faces they fade away
towards end of our days
chorus 1 heavy vocals
join me at the end of the road
outside the places you'll go
a life of straight lines can't hide
the pieces they left inside
verse 2 clean
can I fall alive
into my mind
get lost sometimes
out there
with the winds
blowing away
through ruins that go nowhere
and the faces they fade away
towards end of our days
chorus 2 heavy vocals
join me at the end of the road
outside the places you'll go
a life of straight lines can't hide
the pieces they left inside
bridge 1 heavy
false kings and ghosts
shadows on the outside
raise their hosts
march across the inside
abandon your hope
leave it by the wayside
hanging from a rope
drowning at low tide
bridge 2 heavy
beyond the doorway
take the left hand path now
the last gateway
will you make your last vow
watch their final days
crawl across the threshold
stand and turn your gaze
admire the great blaze

Outer Psych

verse 1
lines are blurring
melting away from me
witness their passing
lay there and wait
smoke washes over me
like waves to the sea
trails in the sky
fractals escaping earth
verse 2
here among ourselves
we're our own best friends
the smoke lifts us all up
carries us away
the end is within
perceptions dim
that spiral path now
leads the left mind
heavy bridge verse 1
higher then giants on fire
burning trees dance while glowing
I couldn't leave without knowing
what way is this river flowing
heavy bridge verse 2
I asked and then spoke with a ghost
she looked at me and smiled
then lifted her hands and smoked
while laughing between tokes

verse 1
can't you feel it I'm just numb
from my face to the tips of my thumbs
arms heavy in light of the load
tripping down the side of the road
take my hands and stay awhile
make some jokes and crack a smile
arms outstretched feeling light
spread our wings and just fly tonight
verse 2
there's lights on the road out there
if we stare we'll get lost somewhere
feeling heavy let's just lay awhile
pretend we're standing on a mystic isle
can you see it from this wasteland
let's bum some smokes hey thanks man
the giants come and shake their heads
there's light behind them we must be dead
third section verse 1 (half time singing)
wandering west of the world we know
don't look back there's only a hole
in the place where we keep our souls
no one speaks but everyone knows
third section verse 2
outside the lines are changing
the time is wasting innovating
can you help us young man
the time is gone when we can
because we're outside the known
can't find the way back home
we like to get lost sometimes
just leave it all behind yeah

Artificial Life
04:12

heavy part verse 1
go to work in a mystic haze
each day more of the same
sitting around and wasting days
don't need it but I just want it and I
just hide in the lights at night
you'll see me at the edge of sight
trees smoked and then you're broke
get enough and light that smoke
heavy chorus 1
this artificial life
has got me down
how long is this town
wasting from waiting
walking within the crowd
a sea of blank faces
screaming happy out loud
obviously faking
heavy part verse 2
my friends are all long gone
some stepped out of sight of the world
some hid within their brains
some painted the walls with red and gray
i stepped away from the pain
mind numbed and lost in place
clouds humming and i keep waiting
alone in my room creating
heavy chorus 2
this artificial life
has got me down
how long is this town
wasting from waiting
walking within the crowd
a sea of blank faces
screaming happy out loud
obviously faking

Pieces of Time
08:01

verse 1
the sky cracks open above
and the rains come down
will it wash away
can it save us, now
do you remember the way she moved
there's pieces of her in every room
my face is the same
but a little more grey
I'll sit in her room
waiting for the last day
maybe she'll wake and we'll walk away
together we'll go into the grey
verse 2
time drifts away in a haze
is it too late to cross
these rooms are empty
there's nothing left here but love
its behind us now but I can't leave
in a prison of my own belief
pray for the ones we've lost
out there in the world
the past holds them close
its warm and
surrounded by the light of them
can you bear the sight of them
heavy parts verse 1
there's a voice beside me that hides me
in the light of the moon you can't find me
chase the mark let's walk in the dark
we're not alone in this world
feel the edges the pieces they're broken
automate our minds they've spoken
she was my last piece of this place
in my heart I kept a space
heavy parts chorus
fill yourself like an empty well
then burn both sides of hell
spill some blood and watch the flood
the money is always good
drink a toast to the host
just live your life the most
touch the moon and feel it swoon
maybe she'll sing you a tune
heavy parts verse 2
with her gone I just don't care
I'd risk my life on a dare
one last rush to live a life
I need to feel that feeling inside
the thrill the pulse the laughter
the face the fall the madness
to the right the moonlit darkness
on the left is your death
heavy parts chorus
fill yourself like an empty well
then burn both sides of hell
spill some blood and watch the flood
the money is always good
drink a toast to the host
just live your life the most
touch the moon and feel it swoon
maybe she'll sing a tune
