Dreaming
Wide
Awake


Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me cos I'm the one not laughing
Down here on the floor

Deflate, the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
No pretense of decor

Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

I'll dream you... wide awake

With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cos I can't let...

Clevermind


Looking at the road that rises up ahead
I thought I'd learned a thing or two
But this is where it's all made new N' I
I gotta throw my hands up
I can't go on if I can't stop

Look the leaves are dead
The moments gone, there's no surrender
Forever now unsaid
The words that might've warmed December
Cos it's all inside your head
Like fragments of a dream you remember
So never mind, your clevermind, never mind me

Staring at the ceiling from my bed
I thought I'd earned a chance or few
I thought I'd be paid in due
Time isn't made for waiting
And past isn't worth debating

Look the leaves are dead
The moments...

Dying
To
Live


Tell me this, would you miss it,
trying on another face again to see if it's you
And wondering where you've been
and where you're gonna find yourself
before the night is through

I know the way you go
cos I've been the same for too long
Like I'm fearful that my choices are all wrong
I know the way you go
cos I've lived your life of make believe
Dying to live

Tell me this, is it lonely in the shadow of a masquerade for life you hide behind
What's the deal with your reasons to run away
and let your feelings leave you undefined

I know the way you go
cos I've been the same for too long
Like I'm fearful...

15
minute
flame


The reaper's kneeling at your field taking in what you've sown
Can't help feeling apprehension
No point in waiting, for a rating for what you have grown
Look for liquid consolation
If I act accordingly will it save my humanity
You're either you or a loyalty disowned
Well excuse me

Who was it who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame of fame
A name to last for all eternity
Who was it who wanted ingratiation beyond definitions
When love alone is enough to set you free

No escaping though you're running, you cannot find home
Drowning in your desperation
Conviction seems to follow accusations...

Rewind


What do we have but illusions
where one man's absolute is another's choice
Giving in to confusion,
till love and hate both tempt with the same voice
Won't you take me to a higher ground,
I need to see again the way I'm bound
N' choose the uneasy redemption,
run by fear and the flaws of attraction

Rewind, I wanna go it again,
light up the dark, halo on the side
So I'll know it will not leave me wanting,
I see my heart, waving me bye-bye
Rewind, I wanna go it again,
light up the dark, halo on the side

If life itself has a meaning,
is it anything more than what we choose to call it
Sweet words make appealing,...

Do you remember standing on a broken field, white crippled wings beating the sky.
The harbingers of war with their natures revealed and our chances flowing by.
If I can let the memory heal, I will remember you with me on that field.

When I thought that I'd fought this war alone, you were there by my side on the front line.
when I thought that I'd fought without a cause, you gave me a reason to try.

Turn the page I need to see something new, for now my innocence is torn.
We can not linger on this staunted view, like rabid dogs of war.
I will let the memory heal, I'll remember you with me on that...

"Locking Up The Sun"

They're locking up the sun, the light of reason gone,
n' hope has been succesfully undone
The question's burning on, where is it coming from,
no-one seems to know the monster born

It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible
Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable
Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible
And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day
Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away...

Given
and
denied


Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I've let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories
while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear

Oh to see the sun's eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

Give me back my...

You’re
still
here


Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling like rhapsody
And I see winter's broken like lace, in time for a celebration

Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners, delighting in its evident victory
Till I feel springtime counting its days of flaunting a novel sensation

Like it's leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you're still here

Hold on to your memories of sundogs and rainbows, as time writes a premature eulogy
And I feel summertime passing in haste, like running out of patience

Quilted...

CHANGE


You say you feel a chill in the season
Like something is falling apart
You say you can't hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart

But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it's bending your will like a willow tree twisting
Trying to regain its form

How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven shining down

Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it's throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform

How I wish you'd...

Heal
My
Wounds


I burn to make you understand
One wrong word and it all may come crashing down
For the fates are devious by heart
They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown

And there is no why, there is no how,
it's like the sky, just one free flow
But you're here right now, and this is your show,
so take a bow, cos the show is on right...

Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No one else can heal your wounds

Once again taboo becomes your law
What you want seems taken by another tide turning away
from our flower field where...
