Archive were formed by Darius Keeler and Danny Griffiths in 1994 from the ashes of UK breakbeat act Genaside II. Together with female singer Roya Arab and young rapper Rosko John, the band released their first album "Londinium" on Island Records in 1996, a mix of dark Trip-Hop (in the same vein as Massive Attack), rap and alternative rock. The album received moderate critical acclaim, but due to internal dispute the band split up later that year.

However, in 1997 Keeler and Griffiths reformed Archive with another female singer (Suzanne Wooder) and in 1999 released their second album "Take My Head", a mix of pop and symphonic trip-hop far more melodic than its predecessor. The band have described this album as their least favourite of their albums.

Between 2002 and 2005 the band released three albums with Craig Walker, formerly of Power of Dreams, as singer, to growing popularity and critical acclaim, including a large following in France and Poland. These albums have seen Archive gradually turn away from their roots in Electronica and Trip-Hop and towards more psychedelic and progressive style of bands such as Pink Floyd, Mogwai and The Secret Machines. The band also composed the soundtrack to the French film Michel Vaillant, released in November 2003.

Archive announced at short notice that Walker would not be joining the band's tour in November 2004 "due to unforeseen circumstances". Another statement from Darius Keeler hinted at personal problems keeping Walker from touring [1]. In an interview with TV station arte in late 2005 [2], Keeler and Griffiths confirmed that Walker is in fact no longer in Archive but working on a solo album.

In autumn of 2004, Archive announced that Dave Pen (Birdpen) would be replacing Walker on the Noise tour - due to the continuing personal problems between Walker and the rest of the band. During this same tour, Keeler and Griffiths met the singer Pollard Berrier at one of their shows in Vienna, Austria. The three began writing and rehearsing together, and were recording in Southside Studios, London by September 2005.

In May 2006, Archive released "Lights", from which the first single was "System". Dave Pen contributed on three tracks of the album and Maria Q sang on four tracks.

They have been touring in Europe since 2006, with Dave Pen, Pollard Berrier and occasionally Maria Q as singers. As the critical reaction to their "Lights" tour has been excellent, they recorded a live DVD in Paris in January 2007.

Londinium

All time

Reflecting on what’s been
Though past will be future
When again yesterday to be made

For me hazy times, fume all around
Burning grass in a field of endless supplies

Tall people casting shadows on the short
Little people running circle round the wide

Lazy times, waste it well
What better to do with my mind
Crazy times, no rhythm too hard
Deep corners and people with my time

Over ground in joy
In clouds sunlit, snow untouched
Make pure silhouette, catches steam grass and dew
Rays not harm the upward gaze

Hosts bring out a game of open fields on the box
Watch the guests who bring the heat of outside
Flag of faith for boundaries to fight
The young so wise before their time
My time, Your time, All time
My time, Your time, All time

Over ground in joy
In clouds sunlit, snow untouched
Make pure silhouette, catches steam grass and dew
Rays not harm the upward gaze

Rhythm to your right, rhyme the other side
Expression outside and poetry inside
Pleasure to your touch, taste of heaven on your mind
And colours before your very eyes

So few words

So few words
So few words

We are movin'
Round to the hour
Force from the power
Thunder reigns down in a mass mind shower
Levellin' vibes
Unravellin' scribes
Take a venomous sting
That's unsettlin'
But consequence awaits me around the corner
Reminiscent of my twistin fate
All down to the fact it's a hard life
Travel on with the sense of a telling adventure
So as I wait for the opportune time
To create soul energy that will then enable me to realise
Analyse all aspect
Of man-made decision
The vision the many ways
Wrong turn right, right turn
Left, ain't no way back straight ahead along track
Counteract react
Higher pace embrace
Expression when written on the face
Ya babblin on flip automatic overide
So when pride gets swallowed
Check the events that follow
Interconnection bafflin coincidence
All going hand in hand
They demand supply
I deliver my peace
In what can be known as my only release
In the bellyfull beast
Tearin up and it's a cryin' shame
It remains the same
Turn the next page over

So few words
So few words

Then on straight down through the valley I roam
Lay claim my terrain through my artery vein
But first intuition
State my incondition is the
Reason why you'll never get my submission
True as I'm present in time
I'm headin for the future
Movin' with a haste from time to waste
Break loose from a goose chase
What I do I take feathers and fly in spiritual sky
Return to ground zero zero
Now for the intrepid hero
Non sense there will be no
I overrun 'cause unless I'm in a situation
I can learn a lesson in
One specimen away say a line refine
Humanity race ever being like one of a kind
Now we can never rewind
So press forward to the end
With the passionate fruit from mother nature

So few words
So few words

Headspace

Go away, go away
You fill my head space
With evil thoughts unkind
I can do without

You move with hate
Your darkness my light cannot take
You deceive without a second thought
I receive, my heart an open world

You say you hurt yourself when you fuss around
But I feel your soul penetrate
When your gaze, your touch
With desire on another domain

I say to myself walk tall, head held high
Don’t look behind, not good things to find
Go ahead taste with your eyes
Feel with your head and think with your heart

Look up to celebrate with nails blood red
See a moon halfway clear in the sky
I wonder if you do from underground

Darkroom

Face in my hands
Admiring that view again
Pictures tell me
It's only my fear

So I'll try
I'll try
To hear what I like
And I'll try
To hide
What I fear

Ever moving over to the way I wanna be attract an energy
Past time stored in my memory
As we are struggling to make sense of human nature distraction
Like a fairground attraction
Communication interacts like we
So reason over remedy ready me infinitely
But lately I admit hard times have hit
But still I like knowing I'll break through it

The fluid flows the seed grows and life goes on
And the fight goes on
In this the Babylon we carry on
Surviving striving taking everyday watching time go by
And I tangle with stress feel strain from stress
Man made hell yes
In a recess less I be mistaken
I be taking all the ways life heralding the hark
I embark like a light in the dark

Define definition in my focus
Living in a room over the fear side view
I am surrounded by the border of disorder
So I oughta be stable and able to lift my hand and take an opportunity
Sinking down into quicksand time
Another number never I endeavour like time is forever expanding
Immaterial
Is the original principle
Now the icon is God
Sad case in the rat race
Erasing all the memory of something that they can't quite comprehend
I end a line to the live wire
With my entire trickle down lava flow blood fire
I attack with my brain seeing eye vision
Looking over my terrain day by day stay same
In the land of chaos and disorder
Living behind the light we're surrounded by a border in the dark room

Face in my hands
Admiring that view again
Pictures tell me
It's only my fear

So I'll try
I'll try
To hear what I like
And I'll try
To hide
What I fear

Londinium

Energy from every pore
Make what you will

Are you with or without
The force cannot be blamed
Just the hunger or greed
Supplying the ugly drive

Dirty water
No profit to supply
That round
Travelled far too long

In every direction you turn touch fire and you burn
Earn self recognition over all the preoccupying nonsense
I plead my inner sense savour this aroma of a new experience
High intelligence bound for the underground
We burrow deep down
I originate like the word individual
Visual visionary I vary
And all others see my eye view
So multiply through the big bad city
With a human emotion running wild
Not fit for the child of all ages
Accelerate speed of life
Moving closer to the center
Enter at your own if you will
Still the hustling bustling busy bee hive is alive
And kicking I'm picking the moment
I gotta get away from this monotonous call the capital
'L' loving every minute that I'm in it

Nothing else

My angel, clipped wings I know
Wonders in darkness on grimy ground
In a forest unclean, unsound
Everything, everything has gone wild

Make land for the cows to graze
Leaflets scattered around to advertise, sell out

A swamp, in it hands stretched out
To catch a passing dime
Donations to the rich, widened pavements for the poor
Somewhere else to lie

But my friend the carriage door stands slightly ajar
And I know clipped wings make uneasy flight
But we’ve got to reach

A place where the feast never ends
A moment when the music celebrates
And a time when darkness belongs to night skies
And nothing else
No, nothing else, no

Tomorrow my spirit’s seen
Fears today my mind
Soul aches so deep
Always craves my body to reach

A place where the feast never ends
A moment when the music celebrates
And a time when darkness belongs to night skies
And nothing else
No, nothing else

Skyscraper

One man climbs higher then one bites dust
Through the dark hours in dark towers we trust forever
The rays of light will energise my
Born ability mind stability much creativity
Thirty-nine steps twenty-two catch boxed in
Tales of the city we are lost in
Living in a haze I'm amazed by the ways in the days
Of forever go non stop pressure
The risking obelisks stands stable in the skyline
You will find icon is symbol and symbol is sign
Higher aspect
Looking down over the horizon
The cloud nine zero back down to the ground skyscraper
You will never feel what it's like to be
Or how it seems to me
It's all man-made material
Scribbled down by the architect
Just parallel lines on the paper

Surrounded by walls that vary in size
Still they cast an intimidating image in my eyes
But ya concrete block will never rock my stone
Inya zone I'm unbreakable able to resist
Overthe stage in timea newer age
And still I'm in a rage of dilemma
Minds eye spray gamma hammer nail
Again it presents itself
What's life like upon the top shelf
It really doesn't matter if I'm any
Lesser than your higher status
See the press haven't you heard the latest
The greatest thing about being 'I' is me
And what I really can be
I never run you never ran me
I stand my ground found solid stance
Never take a step back move forward
Remember this skyscraper ya building blocks
Will trickle down like sands of time
So roll the dice then pay the price

Parvaneh ( Butterfly )

I lie on my blue sheet so blue
Wait for sunrise and what it brings
Wait for tomorrows I look to find
So tired, sleep rest in peace

Let the wind fulfil your dreams
Let the sea heal your wounds
Tell the trees secrets so deep

On a kaftan of leaves I float
Sunrise brought me the peace I sought
I fly with no form to tie me down
I’m free to live, to live

To let the wind heal my wounds
To let the sea fulfil my dreams
Hear the trees secrets so deep

Don’t let them tie you down
Fly where you please

Beautiful world

Progress is methodic meaning step by step
Too much too long too many minds have slept
As the world grows grey throw away mass produce
What are we to do now all hell has broken loose
The noose in the gallows is shallow like the man
Who mean and selfishly brings about the master plan
So the rich get richer and the poor get suppressed
Killing off the lesser like a parasite or pest
In the beast we dwell never my soul I sell
Will I kiss and tell
Check the next episode
As the plot thickens
Minds stricken with dilemma from the hand of the wicked
The bad meaning wicked
I'm on the other frequency for the time being
Everything's okay as long as my third eye seeing scenery
Thru the retina translated by the brain
Then conveyed to the soul
We must seize control

All mistakes in the past I try and shut it out
I can't be taking it no more so won't you cut it out
All of this driving ambition I must let it out
Sometimes I gotta do for self that's what it's all about
Making light steps on the ground touch down in the west
Less I be mistaken I see many bows are breaking
But I was only shaken my cerebral stays stable
Lay my hands upon the table 'cause I'm willing and I'm able
When the time comes I travel over to the top
Climb higher embark like the spark in my veins bloodfire
Try again to try my patience and you never will succeed
My inner space attacks the master race
My profession that is the most
'Cause you're the listener and I'm the humble host
So welcome to the distorted alternative view
As the mind showing the way to the few

Last five

Hell was a place I knew a long time ago
Where everything was dark
There were mazes all around
Here is where I am
Here is where I was
Here is where I don’t want to be

Hell was a place I found by mistake
A garden’s secret yet inviting door
Leading to a place I’m finding hard to let go


From the down side to the upside
From the inside to the outside
There I'll be making my vocabulary overstand this
Ain't no mountain high enough valley low enough
I will cross over the wake and take it all
Inside stride seven cracks in the walls of ya concrete
Roots to mother nature
Found the foundation
Seperating us with characterisation
Sensation in my body feel life never tires
And the ways of the world inspire
Myself an entire beeing is fact
Ancient artifact shows a generation try and understand
And a man-made decision in division all men
Then again when or why must eye reign speech
Everyone and each must reach for the step
They wanna climb to there is always time to
Lift an uplift with the gift we are all blessed
Lesson and test much more and no less

Fascinating softest shade of passion all around
Daggers left behind in rooms big with small minds
My gaze, dense leaves
Shelter on a sunny day

Cloud in the sky

Take my vision away
Take the words that I say
Take yourself from me
Can't take what I believe

There's a cloud in the sky
But I ain't gonna cry
Take the sun from my eyes
I feel the warm further rise
Feel the warm further rise X5

Let the rain fall down
'Cause I ain't gonna drown
Scratch my face to the sand
I'm a determined woman

There's a cloud in the sky
But I ain't gonna cry
Take the sun from my eyes
I feel the warm further rise
Feel the warm further rise X5

Take my head

Sit me down X8

On you, on you, on you
To rest my head on you

All I wanted to do
Was rest my head on you
All I want
All I want to do
Is rest my head on you

All I wanna do

Home in summer

Heal down to me
I've rested with you
I've spend always time
Time with my brothers
Love for my sister
Now I'm fine
And I wanna come home
These been some tears
Many fears about the way
The way that you love
The pain when you're bad
It makes me sad
Totally mad
Now I need to come back home
How beautiful
So wonderful
A beautiful love
Friends 'til the end
Now I'm home
Sweet home

You All Look The Same To Me

Again

You're tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
You used to lift me up
Now you get me down

If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again ?

If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again ?
Again, again...

You're killing me again
Am I still in your head ?
You used to light me up
Now you shut me down

If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again ?

If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again ?

I'm losing you again
Locking me inside
I used to lift you up
Now I get you down

Without your love
You're tearing me apart
With you close by
You're crushing me inside
Without your love
You're tearing me apart
Without your love
I'm dowsed in madness
Can't loose the sadness
I can't loose the sadness

Can't loose the sadness

You're tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
Without your love
(you used to lift me up)
You're crushing me inside
(now you get me down)
With you close by
I'm dowsed in madness
Can't lose the sadness
It's ripping me apart
It's tearing me apart
It's tearing me apart
I don't know how
It's ripping me apart
It's tearing me apart
It's tearing me apart
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
Without your love
Without your love
Without your love
Without your love
It's tearing me apart

Does anybody want to take me on
Does anybody want to hear
The things I have to say
I fear today
Does anybody want to see me cry
If I'm the only one, I'd rather die

Thoughtless baby

Does anybody want to see me smile
Does anybody want to open up and see
What's vile
Sometimes it's like it's said
Sometimes it's throwaway

Thoughtless baby

Goodbye

I'm thinking of you
In my sleep
They're not good thoughts
The worst kind of sad
I've noticed things
Cannot be repaired
When I wake up
I'll be in despair

Cause I know I've got to say
I know I've got to say
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
You're my sweetheart
Goodbye
You're my sweetest
Goodbye

I know I'm gonna look
So, so, so, so bad
But there’s no easier way
For me to have to walk away
But I don't wanna hear this no more
And I don't wanna feel this no more
And I don't wanna see this no more
And I don't wanna experience this no more

Cause I know I've got to say
I know I've got to say
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
You're my sweetheart
Goodbye
You're my sweetest
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye (you're my sweetest)

Finding it so hard

I'm finding it so hard
To communicate with you
I'm finding it so hard
To show myself to you
Cause these feelings
Won't go away
God give me the strengh
To get over this
So I
Can keep my love in here

I'm finding it so hard
To see reason with you
I'm finding it so hard
To show my love to you
Cause these emotions
Won't come out of here
God give me the power
To love again
So I
Can feel my heart again

I'm finding it so hard
To make my life with you
I'm finding it so hard
To let myself be with you
Cause this selfishness won't go away
Lock myself up when you're with me
So free me
So I can love again
Just free me

I'm finding it so hard
To communicate
With you
I'm finding it so hard
To show myself
To you
Cause these emotions
Won't come out of here
Lock myself up when you're with me
When you're with me...

Hate

I hate your face right now
I can't stand the sight of you
So please
Leave me alone

I thought you were a friend
But you've ruined my day again
So please
Just go away

How could this happen
Such change of heart
Now I can't stand to be around you
I can't bear to be this near to you
Don't believe a word I say (x 4)

*** Thanx a lot to Jennifer & Ágota & Bertrand who did some corrections ***

Need

You've got time, time on your hands
Bury your head in the sand
Take your time, hurry it up
Guess you'll sit there and just drift away

You've got worries more than enough
Cause it's rough yes I know that it's tough
All that time, time on your hands
Guess you'll sit there and just drift away
I need to know
What they're saying ain't true about you
I need to know
There's a little hope inside of you
But there might
Might not be

Oh my baby please look me up
When you feel that you've had enough
You were mine, I was yours
Set to see and now drift away

I need to know
What they're saying ain't true about you
I need to know
There's a little hope inside of you and
I need to know
What they're saying ain't true about you
I need to know
There's a little hope inside of you
But there might, might not be

Might not be (x4)

*** Thanx a lot to Jennifer & Sebastien & Bertrand for this one ***


Michel Vaillant OST

Bridge Scene

I can’t help but love the way you move
I can’t help but love the things you do
I can’t wait to feel you here with me

I can’t help but love the way you move
I can’t help but love the things you do

Helicoptere

Sometimes I feel
A million miles apart

A million miles apart
A million miles apart

Friend

Friend you’re bringing me down
Friend there’s so much around
Try communicating
Don’t anticipate
Cos I want to run with you
Cos I want to run with you
Cos I want to run with you
And maybe then we can walk together

Friend you’re getting paranoid
Friend you’re becoming soul destroyed
They all laugh at you
They’re all dismissing you
And I want to run with you
And I want to run with you
And I want to run with you
And maybe then we can walk together

Cos I want to see you in no pain this time
Cos I want to see you shine
Blind me, blind me, blind me
Cos I wanna run with you
Cos I wanna run with you
Cos I wanna run with you
Maybe then we can walk together
Together

Together
Together

I’m coming to drag you out
To drag you out
And we can walk together
And we can walk together
And we can walk together
Together

Leader Theme

You got me correctly
Make no mistake
You try and distract me
Anticipate
She’s dangerous
No good for my state of mind

God knows you try hard
To please her all the time
She’s dangerous
No good for my
My state of mind

Nightmare Is Over

Take the sound from my head
Take me down
And empty out my heart
Cos the nightmare is over
Cos the nightmare is over

Shape my face how you want to
Drag me down
Control my every thought
Now my nightmare is over
My nightmare is over

Won’t matter now
Won’t matter now
Won’t matter now
Won’t matter now

Make me feel so much hate
Turn me grey
Fuck my everyday
My nightmare is over
My nightmare is over

No longer ill at ease with the crazy people
No longer afraid of the shit put in my face
Now my nightmare is over
Now my nightmare is over

It won’t matter now
It won’t matter now

It won’t matter now
It won’t matter now

It won’t matter now

Vaillant Acoustic

All night long
You seem to fill the air

Times like these
I know I need you here

So try and be quiet
Love silent
This time was meant for me

Night Time

Waking up to these moments
Never quite complete moments
Nothing on my mind but silence
Taking all my time
Being still with you

Never said despite feeling
Never said despite feeling

Come To Me 2

Come to me my baby
Come to me my love
Come to me my darling tonight
Cos we’re here tonight
On our own all night
Yes we’re here tonight
Gonna make it so right

You’re the best thing in my life
You’re the best thing in my life

Hold on my baby
Hold on my love
Hold on my darling tonight
Cos I’m here tonight
On my own all night
Yes I’m here tonight
Gonna make it so right

You’re the best thing in my life
You’re the best thing in my life
You’re the best thing in my life

In my life
In my life

In my life


'Love Song '
All this time I’m distracted from the world
The world outside of your arms
All I need is here

Try and find, a way to say the things
The things I feel when you smile
They take away my words

You know, that people come and go
It’s here for me
When things in life run me down
All I need is you

You wanted a love song
You asked for a love song
You wanted a love song from me
You asked for a love song from me
Now there’s a love song for you

Yeah, I know, I don’t hear you, I don’t see you, I can’t feel you
You know, it’s always my fault, communication is such a let down
I ain’t proud of my behaviour
I thank the lord, you’re still here (Repeat x 6)

Yeah I know that I push you
Yeah I know that I push you
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that I push you

I know that I push you (Repeat x 7)

Try and find, a way to say the things
The things I feel when you smile
They take away my words
You know, that people come and go
You wanted a love song from me
You asked for a love song from me
Now there’s a love song for you


Noise

Noise

Stay in your coma, in your own frustration
Lip sinking haircut, blow me away

Cos I’d rather be in this noise
Suffocate in this noise colder
It means so much to me

Nostalgia makes your living so easy
Ludites make it easy for me

Cos I’d rather be in this noise
Suffocate in this noise colder
It means so much to me

To me (Repeat x 6)

Cos I’d rather be in this noise (Repeat x 3)

Rather be in this noise (Repeat x 4)

Repetition baby
Machine is taking over

Dance with me baby, the future is here

Scientific baby, waltz hand in hand
Scientific baby, technological man

Would you rather be in this noise
celebrate in this noise colder
It means so much to me

Would you rather be in this noise
celebrate in this noise colder
It means so much to me

Repetition baby there’s no escape from me here
Run run baby
Try and run from me here

Reconciliation welcome back here
Fun fun fun fun fun, get your fun from us here

Cos I’d rather be in this noise
celebrate in this noise colder
It means so much to me (Repeat x 5)

Fuck U

There’s a look on your face I would like to knock out
See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth
All I want is to see you in terrible pain
Though we won’t ever meet I remember your name
Can’t believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
But I don’t think I can so fuck you anyway
You are scum, you are scum and I hope that you know
That the cracks in your smile are beginning to show
Now the world needs to see that it’s time you should go
There’s no light in your eyes and your brain is too slow
Can’t believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
But I don’t think I can, so fuck you anyway
Bet you sleep like a child with your thumb in your mouth
I could creep up beside put a gun in your mouth
Makes me sick when I hear all the shit that you say
So much crap coming out it must take you all day
There’s a space kept in hell with your name on the seat
With a spike in the chair just to make it complete
When you look at yourself do you see what I see
If you do why the fuck are you looking at me

Why the fuck are you looking at me, me
Why the fuck are you looking at me
Why the fuck why the fuck are you looking at me
Why the fuck why the fuck are you looking at me

There’s a time for us all and I think yours has been
Can you please hurry up cos I find you obscene
We can’t wait for the day that you’re never around
When that face isn’t here and you rot underground
Can’t believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
But I don’t think I can so fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway (Repeat x 11)

Waste

Talk to me
I haven’t said a word in days
Please talk to me
And I can tell you of my ways
In which I numb myself
In which I numb myself

Drink with me
I will talk of things I want
To do in life but know I can’t
Find the energy
Find the energy
Find the energy
Find the energy

Time has come
Come to me at such a speed
And given me the time I need
To waste

Waste on you, I’ve got time to waste on you
Waste on you, I’ve got time to waste on you
Waste on you, I’ve got time to waste on you
On you

On and on and on and on with you

Waste on you, I’ve got time to waste on you
Waste on you, I’ve got time to waste on you
On you

On and on and on and on and on with you (Repeat x 14)

Sleep

The enemy is after me again
Afraid of the sea and what’s down there
I need to sleep
It’s been a whole week

Cos tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

I need to sleep
It’s been a whole week

Cos tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

My bones keep breaking
Tearing me away from the quiet
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the quiet

Night time, gruelling, just time to waste
Heights they kill me, leave scarring on my face

Cos’ I never, ever, ever fall into sleep?
And I’ve never ever ever felt so weak

Cos’ tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

My bones keep breaking
Tearing me away from the quiet
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the quiet

I wanna fall down (Repeat x 5)

Here

Here it comes
Creeping up
Hold it down
Can’t hold it down
Hold it down
Here it comes
Creeping up

Get Out

Get out
Get out
Cos I don’t know what you’re about

Get out
Get out
Cos I don’t know what you’re thinking about
Something says leave
Just leave
Cos I don’t like you looking at me

I don’t want you here
I don’t want you near
Cos your face just gives me the fear

Blow out
Blow out
Cos I don’t believe you’re who you are
And who you said to me

No you’re out
Get out
I don’t wanna know what your about

Get out (Repeat x 8)

Out the door
Out the door
You’ve become an intolerable bore
Disappear
Disappear
Before your voice it brings me to tears

Don’t want you here
Don’t want you near
Cos I think you’re fucking weird

Blow out
Blow out
I can’t stand to see your face
I wish you’d go some other place
Get out
Get out
I don’t want you hanging about

Get out (Repeat x 10)

Conscience

God rid us
Of our, our conscience
So we can float away

God rid us
Of our, our conscience
So we can float away

God rid us
Of our, our conscience
So we can float away

Pulse

Help!
In this Junk
I’m drowning
Drowning
How long?
Til I sell?
My mother
So I become
Important to you
In this junk
Drowning
How long?
Til I sell
My mother
Must I tolerate your shit
Dwell in your shallow pit
Now the thought police
Are following me
Everywhere
Eyes are always
On your children

Wrong

Why can’t I see it’s all not wrong
Why can’t you be here again
Still don’t believe I know you’re gone
I miss your love
I miss your love

Lovesong

All this time I’m distracted from the world
The world outside of your arms
All I need is here

Try and find, a way to say the things
The things I feel when you smile
They take away my words

You know, that people come and go
It’s here for me
When things in life run me down
All I need is you

You wanted a love song
You asked for a love song
You wanted a love song from me
You asked for a love song from me
Now there’s a love song for you

Yeah, I know, I don’t hear you, I don’t see you, I can’t feel you
You know, it’s always my fault, communication is such a let down
I ain’t proud of my behaviour
I thank the lord, you’re still here (Repeat x 6)

Yeah I know that I push you
Yeah I know that I push you
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know that I push you

I know that I push you (Repeat x 7)

Try and find, a way to say the things
The things I feel when you smile
They take away my words
You know, that people come and go
You wanted a love song from me
You asked for a love song from me
Now there’s a love song for you

Me and You

I’m beside myself
But does it matter

It’s good to hear you’re doing well
But does it matter

I’m beside myself
But does it matter

It’s good to hear you’re doing well
But does it matter
In the end

It’s about me and you
The hardest part

Cos it’s about me and you
The hardest part

It’s about me and you
The hardest part is letting you go

It’s about me and you
The hardest part
Thinking all about me and you

And if it breaks down
I will shut down

*** Thanx a lot to Stil for these lyrics ***

Sane

Step by step, you're gonna make yourself feel better
Buy yeah buy, you're gonna make yourself feel better
Try yeah try, you're gonna make yourself feel ruthless
More yeah more, you're gonna make yourself feel sane

Can't stop looking and you can't stop taking it in
Head's full baby, but you can't stop taking it in
Reach yeah reach, 'til your arms can't reach any longer
More yeah more, you're gonna make yourself feel sane

Numb it again

Television's dead but you can't stop taking it in
Cover up your eyes, but you can't stop taking it in
Dead dead speech, yeah you can't stop taking it in
Speed it up baby, you gotta make yourself feel sane

Can't stop looking and you can't stop taking it in
Head's full baby, but you can't stop taking it in
Reach yeah reach, 'til your arms can't reach any longer
More yeah more, you're gonna make yourself feel sane

Numb it again

Sit back down

They try hard to keep in time
They're not you
Sit back down
Sit back down
Take it in
They exist
Keep it slow
Keep it fixed
Sit back down
Sit back down
City streets are synchronized
Human forms
All petrified
So sit back down
Sit back down
Sit back down
Sit back down

Don't look up
Let them sleep
Don't disturb
The morbid feet
You're not the one
Don't you dare
Sit back down
Sit back down
Eyes are drained
Streets are pained
Stay below
Keep it slow
Sit back down
Sit back down
Just sit back down
Sit back down

Close your eyes you sleepers on the street
Walking dead
Walking dead

Sit back down, sit back down
Sit back down, sit back down

Walking dead

Veins

It's easy to be persuaded
It's easy because I'm weak
If it were me I wouldn't make it
Now I've got you
Now I've got you
Frequently sedated
Beast in my veins
If it's free I'm gonna take it
Now I've got you
Now I've got you
Now I've got you
Now I've got you here

Goodbye my sad and lonely
Goodbye that love is sick for me
I hold you
I hold you
Thank God I've finally got you here
Now I hold you
Now I hold you

Nice to be acquainted
It's been easy for a while
Now you don't control it
I control you
I control you
Now I've got you
Now I've got you here

Goodbye my sad and lonely
Goodbye that love is sick for me
I hold you
I hold you
Goodbye my sad and lonely
Goodbye that love is sick for me
I love you
I love you
Thank god I've finally got you here

Now I've got you
Now I've got you here

System

Completely done
Too much now I can't touch you
I'd drain my brain if only I could have you
The system is too much
It breaks me down and makes you suck
Fuck, now I mistrust you
The system makes me hurt you

One times, one times, one times, one

Discretely done
Obviously now I've become suited, diluted
Free from anything
Yes please, I'd love your love
So I can fuck it up
This system is too much
It breaks me down and makes you suck
Fuck, now I am twisted
This system makes me hurt you

One times, one times, one times, one

We cut and slice
It makes us feel so very nice
I'm simply demented
Uneasy and dented
I'd drain my brain if only I could have you
This system is too much
It breaks me down and makes you suck
Now I can't trust you
This system makes me hurt you

One times, one times, one times, one

Fold

I've been walking through the park
I've been walking in the dark
I've been walking in the rain
I've been walking so much pain
I've been walking in the sun
It's bought me so much fun
Lying on a beach
Darkness out of reach
The world is not so cold
But it still makes me fold

So hold me and keep me sailing
Hold me close to you
Keep me from failing
Disappearing from you

Keep those clouds dispersing
Never leave my side

Don't let that peaceful water
Don't let it subside
Don't let my head confide
Don't let my head collide

With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies

Lights

It hurts to feel
It hurts to hear
It hurts to face it
It hurts to hide
It hurts to touch
It hurts to wake up
It hurts to remember
It hurts to hold on

Turn my head

The hurt's relentless
The hurt of emptiness
The hurt of wanting
The hurt of going on
The hurt of missing
The hurt is killing me

Turn my head
Off
Forever
Turn it off
Forever
Off forever
Turn it off forever

Ever blind

I will Fade

Find answers on the street
In cracks between my feet
But I can't see

Try so hard in vain
To wipe away the stain
Of everyday pain

And you never see me walking towards you
If you did I would surely fade
And you never feel me trying to hold you
If you did I would surely fade away

With the wounded in my way
There's so much to say
But not today

I wonder if it will turn
Not fall apart and burn
When will I learn

And you never see me walking towards you
If you did I would surely fade

And you never feel me trying to hold you
If you did I would surely fade away

Headlights

They're telling me it won't be long
The door is shut
The suits are on
Too bright to be day
To hurt anyway
Still there's no view
No green, no blue

The headlights above
They don't know love
You smile to please
I try to care

You break my heart
You break my heart

I love you here
I love you here

Programmed

Flicking and twisting
There's a flash in the sky
Falling and drifting
There's a hole in my eye
I've not been feeling stable
It's too hard to try
I'm here and I'm waiting
To say goodbye

Switching and surfing
The transmission's black
I've lost everything
And I can't get it back
This corrupt programme
Has made me a slave
Now I feel remote

I'm interference on the T.V.
But nothing here's gonna free me
I'm screaming somebody help me

Try to break out and run for the land
Look out for yourself this place is a selfish man
Try to break out and run for the land
Look out for yourself this place is a selfish man

Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out
Try to break out

It's so cold
Like interference on a T.V.
It's so cold
Like interference on a T.V.

Black

Please don't stop me
But go and leave me
You can't keep me inside
Please don't stop me
From being so strange
You can't help me
With your lies
Watch me self-destruct

Please don't stop me
Let me loose in the black
You can't touch me
Because I'm not coming back
Please don't watch me
Eyes burn inside
You can't help me
Or even try
Please go and smash me
Break my bones
You capture then leave me
Like a villain alone
Watch me self-destruct

See the light disappear now
Roll it over the black
I've got to disappear now
And I'm never coming back
Let it roll on over
Everything in sight
It's taken out my feelings
And it's fading out the light

Watch me self-destruct
Watch me self-destruct
Watch me self-destruct
Watch me self-destruct

Taste of Blood

I get a taste of blood in my mouth when you're near
A feeling that's too painful to bear

I get a taste of blood in my mouth when you're near
A feeling that's too painful to bear

Straight to my head

I get a look of fear on my face with you here
A feeling that shivers down my skin

Try to resist, but it's just not finished with you yet
A hold too intense to forget


Controlling Crowds

*** Thanx a lot to Sebastiaan for these Lyrics ***

Controlling Crowds

Why are you so scared and creeping around
Taking photographs all over town
Pictures in the dark that live in the light
The world is my playground too and I’ll do what I like
Why are you so scared of falling apart
Intimidating me for falling apart
Stay on your knees with your cross and don’t tell me you know so
The world is my playground too and I refuse to follow
Fly with me falling through the night
Fly with me falling out of sight, find me hold me in your arms
‘Cause I’m scared of their controlling crowds keep me calm
‘Cause I’m scared of their controlling crowds here they come

Why are we so obscure and creeping around
Hiding from mirrors and screens all over town
Objects disturbing blinding taking the peace in me
The world is my kingdom too and I'll feel what I like in me
Killing my heart I can’t face I can’t face no more
The world is my playground too I can’t feel anymore
Fly with me falling through the night, fly with me falling out of sight
Find me hold me in your arms
‘Cause I’m scared of their controlling crowds keep me calm
‘Cause I’m scared of their controlling crowds here they come
Why are we so cold and breaking apart
Caught up in this storm just breaking apart
Pictures and colours I loved but don’t see anymore
The world is my playground too I don’t feel anymore
Why are you so adored
‘Cause I’m scared of their controlling crowds here they come

Bullets

Come touch me like I’m an ordinary man, have a look in my eyes
Underneath my skin there is violence, got a gun in its hand
Ready to make sense of anyone anything
Black holes living in the side of your face
Razor wire spinning around your blistering sky, blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don’t know why
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don’t know why
Personal responsibility
Personal response insanity
Confine me let me be the lesser of a beautiful man
Without the blood on his hands
Come and make me a martyr come and break my feeling
With your violence with the gun to my head
Ready to take out anyone anywhere
Black holes living in the side of your face
Razor wire spinning around your heart
Blistering sky blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don’t know why
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don’t know why
Personal responsibility
Personal response insanity

Words on signs

Close those eyes down
We all fall down
Into the space
Gone with no trace
Feel your heart slow
Where will we go
Into the sunlight
Or the dead of night
There’s nobody here for me now
There’s nobody here for me now
There’s nobody here for me now
So much running scared
Living breathing dead
There’s nobody here for me now
There’s nobody here for me now
Silence fills you through
Time to tell the truth
See the words on signs
It ends with a blink of an eye

Dangervisit

So much writing on the walls, can you read it all
Can you see through the haze when the writing's small
Can you read what it means does it make any sense
'Cause it's all dollar bills and pounds and pence
Telling you what to do and what pills to take
When your head's in your hands and your belly aches
Where to go in the world when you need a change
Don't you worry about the bill, that can be arranged

Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question,

Give me things that can calm this depression
Give me things that can calm this depression

Let me know what to do when my money's spent
Let me know how to smell and to pay the rent
Let me know what to do when my hair is gone
Let me know who to kill when the war is on
There's a woman of your dreams and she's all on the phone
Better send her a text when you're on your own

Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question

Give me things that can calm this depression
Give me things that can calm this depression
Give me things that can calm this depression

So much writing on the walls so much writing on the walls so much writing on the walls

(Obey)
Feel, just obey !

Sing along sing along sing along sing it

You know that they can't harm you
You know that they can't hurt you
Don't want their dreams to waste me
Don't want their dreams to save me

High rises
Killing lows

Quiet Time

Juxtapose feeling
Just suppose I reel in revolving doors closing
Imposters posing
Turn spinning it round about
Pulling your inside out
Know that they will do it now without a doubt
Motivated in quick time to stop the watchman exposing orchestrated explosions
Medicine man mix a potion sedate the not so great nation
Now they be jumping out of their skin to fear factors
Run through acres morphing shape shifters
Lift the lid and give a wide berth
The earth not a million miles away
Minor detail as I put it in another way
To the latter day
Burning out your retina pitch black enveloping hells fire developing heat
Skin crawling up you swear blind
The cruel and unkind advance you’re running out of time
The adrenalin flows hitting the wall
Ready to fall over but still they stand tall
Winner taking it all in, stalling for some ideological ways out
Twist and then shout out aloud
Steady bellowing
Subtle moment following
Subsequent change rearrange
How we doing
We are fine
Quiet time
Ready for the steady climb
Cross a ley line down into the open mind’s eye
Attack they react and turn into the maniac
Critical breakdown why
‘Cause it’s an actual fact
Take a longer look at how we can prevail and not fail

Collapse/Collide

Too late
They hate
Too late
They hate
You've jaded
They've faded
From your heart
They've ripped
Our worlds collide
Inside our souls collapsing
In their thoughtless ways
Our hearts collide
They're correcting
They correct my heart
They're rejecting
They reject our hearts
Now we're all stoned
They've ripped it all apart
Collapse, collide
They're correcting
They correct my heart
They're rejecting
They're rejecting
They're rejecting
They reject our hearts
Now we're all stoned
They've ripped it all apart
Collapse, collide
Our hearts collide

Clones

I can see for miles in your eyes
They disappear into a sea of faces
I can see for miles with your eyes
Their faces are faceless
Clones of yourself
I can see for miles with your eyes
Their faces are faceless
Clones of
Clones of yourself
I can see for miles in your eyes

Bastardized Ink

All hailstorms in to die for my sins
Why am I accursed and not believing
Death to damnation both forced arrest
Enforced interrogation duress fire question
Pressure point temple brainwashed disciple
Shooting at me with a holy water pistol
I am not a heathen I'll give you the reason
Ten commandments and ten counts of treason
They can pass judgements while I plead
Ignorance self defence dollars pounds and pence
Because we live inside the age feelings hard to gauge
I just open up the book and keep turning the page
While the all powerful throwback to miracle
Whips up the storms and pestilent swarms
Sacrifice to appease the deity
Whilst heavens open up just to seize the enemy
Wiped out civilisations
Desolate barren landscapes genocides, creation
But mad scientists wildly experiment
Drawing the conclusion down into the sediment
To the dark hour seed is sown
Now on there will be light via fire and brimstone
Walls fall down but emerge from the ground as if to start over
Rebuild the structure
True to life adventure
Even while your breathing lung puncture
Nothing out there to protect you
So they look into the skies the cries can be heard
The word is obscene unwashed and unclean
Wreaking havoc for the hell of it
Whilst digging deep and developing a taste for it
Bloodthirsty craves screams for mercy
Highly unlikely
Feel the almighty crash
Alas hope all evaporates incinerate burns out and obliterates
Keep the faith in more ways than one
Or believe me and mark my words thy will be done

Praying not for the cynical quick stepping left right
Pick up as they march upon the pinnacle
Clocking up the watch stop digital
Trying to make peace while they'd rather make base and erase the place they found
Lies written all over the face wonder why
Feeling immortality fearing they're afraid to die
Sly snakes sidewind and enter your mind
Finding temptation insecurity and frustration
Hating anger lusts after fear as half the man dies whilst shedding the tear
A clear sign that it's way past the time
To rebuild the bleeding heart that lies broken
Well I must be mistaken but I more than feel that a chance is not taking consideration for the non believer plagued by diseased why
Nothing but an open mind is what I try and maintain
Hand on heart keep alive in dying art, pick it up dust it down make a start and bring it round
Pray to God blaspheme one can only dream
Crucify and ask why either do or die

Kings of Speed

Please don't come any closer to me
I feel old like a withered tree
These days are passing eternally
You won't ask me to slow it down
Blurred emotions in the crown of the kings of speed
And all we see in full motion collection
Time isn't slowing
Just speed
Just speed
Silence is golden and seems so pretend
The towering of war machines and men
The falling of lives as we wait in line
We are fading to nothing
Losing the race as they steam ahead
Leaving the trail of the living dead
Moving away
Broken frames push forward then play
Time isn't slowing
Just speed
It's all we're knowing
Silence is golden and seems so pretend
The towering of war machines and men
The falling of lives as we wait in line
We are fading to nothing
Losing the race as they steam ahead
Leaving the trail of the living dead
Moving away
Broken frames push forward then play
Time isn't slowing
Just speed
It's all we're knowing

Whore

You horrify and petrify me
To wear the crown that just astounds me
You terrorise and paralyse me
You've lost the plot and should be shot down
You have it all
You're just a whore and nothing more
Your smile is pain yet you remain
Walking tall and that appalls me
You're bred like swine but still
You'll die in our arms
'Cause you have it all

Chaos

Confusion
Delusion
Seclusion
Inclusion
Numbing
Loving
Finding you in me
How I adore, the chaos of you
Cry out
Take out
Heartless
Fearless
Compassionately
Feeling you in me
How I love
The chaos of you
Psycho
Halo
Cruel and tormenting
Compassionately
Seeing us in them
How I adore
The chaos in them
In them
In them
Of you
Of you

Razed to the ground

The unassailable leading me down the wide path
I consider the scale the whole aftermath
From the land I sketch a grand design
A being in time
Message the floodlight will shine
Divine skies will open
Open road chosen pausing in time frozen
Best left unspoken
About the life settling down
Steadily lowered into the ground the sound is quite deafening
Confounded regiments getting hounded out
Never better the fallout of the sidesplitter
Rise of the switch-hitter
Watch as he grows bitter
Foreseeable futures they be selling him down the river
Purified and maybe when we refine and say
You'll be hearing him coming from half a mile away
Contemplation still thinking it over onward we soldier clearer than present danger
Us we as a planet handing arms to the generations down the line what is left behind?

Conscience cannot carry the weight of consequence
Says a voice who then utters a vote of confidence
See the level of minerals going down to ground zero
Nothing can be stopping declines cycle
Wheels turn the sucking it dry desert
But the oceans wave is on the rise in front of your eyes
Paralysed you're rooted into the spot
You can't move the rot is setting in at a rate of knots
So far from the truth
Unavoidable proof revelations will raise the roof

The revolutions will be televised to sensationalise and destabilise
I'm wide eyed aware and wiser to the scandal
It is too much for one man to handle
Stand together we might stand a hope in hells chance or else a threatening fate waits

Funeral

You could end everything right here
Finish it off and disappear
Isn't it great to have the choice
Quiet it down and stop the noise
We know those people tell you things
Like what to say and what to think
We know you're not needed for your mind
Just for your money and your kind
We know you're not wanted for your heart
They knew it was black right from the start you could end everything right here


Controlling Crowds Part IV

Pills

These days
They're taking me down
Breakout
With pills in my hand
Freak out
I move with the crowd
You think it's only you
It really kills me too
You really got me going now
It's taking me down
You really got me wanting now
You think it's only you
It really kills me too

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies

You really kills me too

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies

It's really got me hurting now

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies

It's really got me hurting

How can you tell the truth
When your heart is bleeding the lies
Feeding the lies
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Falling apart
Breaking apart
Feeding the lies

Lines

High, sunlight, drown
High, sunlight, goodbye

As I re-submerge
I can barely breathe
Lung capacity
Withering away
Hyperventilate
All disintegrating
Bodies turn to dust
Sudden rush of blood
Snap me out of moods
Swinging in the wind
Round to hurricane breeze
Past damage in the blast
More than physical
Plain to see upon the visual
Feel the impact down
Deep inside a rattled rib cage
Lying shattered there in pieces
Fall away wither and decay
Cannot keep this anxiety at bay
Hellfire spray twisted metal stray
When sparks fly into the naked eye
Fools know not to even try
Think about it fully
Blowing sky high bring a house down
Panic all around
Blind to the fact
Silent ones who plan a hijack
Give with one hand other takes back
One way collision flight path
Aftermath
Come and feel the wrath laid to waste
Steadily with haste
Cutting to the chase
Drifting off the pace
Filling all space and times up
For the meanwhile pressure piles down
Terror reigns

Runaway, loose
Gonna run over you
Infected, injected, completely subdued
Invasive, foreign entity, unwelcome

High, sunlight, drown
High, sunlight, goodbye

Lines, lines data and lines
Confusing nations all data inside
Games shame lies to the masses
Dead souls all rise
On poisonous gasses
Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, lines la la la la la la

Battered and broken hour glass
Last thing you see before the light
Fizzle out smoke billowing broken down
From the inside by scandalous tension
Take hold, gripped by the head
Cold harbouring a grudge
Closer to the edge
Cradling the grave concern
Follow leaders in turn
Flipside opposition
Convey grievance
Half a mind to test immortal patience
Held down while suffocating
Blocking air path
Final exhale
Vital sign fail
Flatline
They would rather do away with our kind
Half expected inside
Rotten infected, fatally flawed and overawed
Biohazardous and contagious
Got animal into animal
Crushed like beasts into cages
Slow deteriorate body
Shutting down
Cease and fade
Cease then fade

Runaway, loose, gonna run over you
Infected, injected, completely subdued
Invasive, foreign entity, unwelcome
Unwelcome, unwelcome

Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, lines la la la la la la
Lines, la la la la la

High, sunlight, drown
High, sunlight, goodbye

The Empty Bottle

The colours run away as the sun fades the day
I find it so hard to find the right words to say
I know that when I have to leave and close it all down
I'm losing everything that you have made me

Let it all just fade away like leave from green to grey
Defeat the impossible finish this war with enemies
And how I love your smile in my aching heart
But why does everything I touch become so sharp

Let the sea roll over me and wash me away
Let me slide deep beneath this crushing blue
The light in the night and the stars on your face
You are everything that surrounds me in this place

I am the hollowness the empty bottle at the end
I am the falling part playing at pretend
I want that feeling back deep inside my heart

Lay down these feelings push them all aside
Crawl out into the light my love I cannot hide
Searching for togetherness on the other side
A thousand bullet holes this love cannot die

For I am the hollowness the empty bottle at the end
I am the falling part playing at pretend
I want that feeling back deep inside my heart

These feelings...

Remove

Finally
From all I want to see
Remove

From the place that I love
The place that I touch
That moves me

Their eyes are on me
They're running for me
Remove

Moronic world
I can't hold on

Silently
They take identity
Remove

They take the colours from me
And mould the others on me
Remove

They take the hurt from me
They take the worth of me
Remove

Moronic world
I can't hold on

Moronic world
I can't hold on
No, I can't hold on
I can't hold on
No, I can't hold on

Come On Get High

Come on get high
Switch off get high
So we can fall in love again

Too much sick highs
I need to fall in love again

So long we're high
Back in love with everything

My love come on
Bleak heart I long
I long my love
Bleak heart it's gone
I want to feel a part of you

Come on get high
Switch off get high
No more sick highs
So we can fall in love again
My love we're high
Come on get high
Come on
Back in love with everything

Thought Conditioning

Your misguided mind seeks presence of a greater
From around the equator as we move via soul, via sound
Surrounds all verbalization nation never will it be like the same way again
So they blend human nature in the excess
Less you know the whole combination of a paragraphs genetic complex
Many pages in the book
Through the ages take a look out of a room with a dark view
View a time I never knew and I'm never gonna be without drive on the highways taken
Making every move, with a brain swift and nimble as a being I resemble my god
It's hard and I recognize and deliver from the me to me, seem to be
High society, are down low, showing all out
Out of body experience, looking at your own reflection
Correct mind thought conditioning

Thought conditioning, thought conditioning…

Cast a revelation for the time of day, eventual panic attacks me
But I come back with a new determination
Knock wood, street solid rock, clock tick a time
Are you inclined to be the anonymous
I'm ever living like Israelite, those who funk faking
We're breaking now that were taking it out of sight
Like a spark, dynamite ignite, light a flame fire burn
Live and learn, no cause for your concern
Never antagonize me, fear is not always overcome
Some thrive on this, live on this stratosphere
We near a new day, fear inside us all you know you can't deny it
I, keep on stepping use minds, lethal weapon
It's time being taken, history is in the making, by the day
Hold a thought for the ones that slept
But to me dignity was like kept, we're in the line of fire
I will not break or take your petty excuse for the lack of punctuation
Natures on the down slope, still I stand vertical position
Three ways intuition over paths of belief
I keep it brief and let your own interpretation
Know the real meaning of my alternative
It wrecks typical, from the back I will speech my peace
My release will let the hard times cease

Thought conditioning, thought conditioning…

The Feeling Of Losing Everything

I feel strange
Covered in waves of confusion
And people not looking inside

All the stars all seem to collapse
Over the sea of my thoughts
And the net comes creeping
Over the calm and I'm caught

And all is lost in a storm
Of something sinister

As I leave to go away
The lazy sun burns a hole
And I remember those dying words you said
The feeling of losing everything

And all is lost in a storm
Of something sinister

Slow tides and falling grace
Reflections cold in this space
I am floored and can't return
This winter's white, its silence burns

Blood In Numbers

Fall down people
Stand tall fearful
Lay down thousands
Right to the end

Find her amongst them
Head down unnoticed
Hands cold and broken
Passengers leave

Frail time is over
Stand on my shoulders
Our hearts twisted
Blood dried in numbers

Blood dried in numbers
Cold slaughtered brothers
Breaking each other
Right to the end

Loose lines uncovered
Masks for each other
Run low for cover
Here comes the end

To The End

Old cranes lift your head
Arms laid down to rest
Clear skies overhead
Put revenge to bed
'Cause I believe in love

There's a light that burns
With the strength to hold
Us inside when hearts collide
To the end

New bird sing your song
Ghosts no longer roam
Life no more betrayed
Safe to call this home
'Cause I believe in soul

There's a light that burns
With the strength to hold
Us inside when hearts collide
To the end

Light us inside
When hearts collide
To the end

Pictures

Moving
So slowly
Wandering
Alone with you
Silently
Revealed by you
I wish I
Could hold your hands
On each side
Of my head
So you could feel
My pictures
Of you
Against the darker side
Shadows move
In your light
So beautiful you are

Lunar Bender

Come back
Into my eyes again
Fade
Into my smile again
Get lost
In my stare again
Climb back
In my mind again
Walk
In my stride again


Non Albums Tracks

Absurd

Without you
I haven’t a clue
What to make of my daze

Oh my lord
It’s so absurd
I hardly noticed you

Without you
My eyes are as blue
As a night in a jail

Oh my lord
I can’t pretend
I hardly noticed you

Without you
There’s no arms around my world
Although words weren’t always spoken
I’m left here broken
But oh my lord
I hardly noticed you

Calling

( Live )

Get together one more time

Children they feed

( Controlling Crowds Bonus Disc )

Children they feed teeth clenched tight
Don't let them see, on either side
What they can't hear, won't hurt them no
Keep them well fed, this one's bone dry
Bring me the next, the promising eyes
Diminishing light of your soul

The devil he calls, in the industry halls
The honest disguise, bloated and blue
It's time for a star, the siblings are full
Pretty and clean
Prepare to be spilled
Stay on your knees and please them all

*** Thanx a lot to Sebastiaan for this one ***

Day that you go

( Controlling Crowds Bonus Disc )

Day that you go
Colours in view
Colours of you
Frozen in time
Thinking of you
Wish the pain out of you

Day that you go
Day that you go
Day that you go
Day that you go
From me
Day that you go
From me

Watching you now
The air that you breathe
Is carrying me

Day that you go
Day that you go
Day that you go
Day that you go
From me
Day that you go
From me

*** Thanx a lot to Sebastiaan for this one ***

Game Of Pool

( Unplugged LP )

Playing games
Plastic dolls
Killing time with alcohol
I need grass and beer
To make the world a little less weird
To make the world a little more mine
My soul feels guilty
Before my body sins
Always twist then ride like a candle flame
Always twist then ride like a candle flame
Life is hard
Life is short
But it ain't nobody's fault
Life is just a game of a pool
But it can't hurt a fool
No it can't hurt a fool
Oh it can't hurt a fool

Gangsters

( Live Music Planet 2nite )

Why must you record my phone calls
Are you planning a bootleg LP
Said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me

Can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster times

Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
A catch - 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star

Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster times

Girlfriend In A Coma

( Unplugged LP )

Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know, it's serious
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know, it's really serious

There were times when I could
Have murdered her

But you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her

No, I don’t want to see her

Do you really think
She'll pull through
Do you really think
She'll pull through
Do ...

Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know - it's serious
My, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye

There were times when I could
Have strangled her

But you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her

Would you please
Let me see her

Do you really think
She'll pull through
Do you really think
She'll pull through
Do ...
Let me whisper my last goodbyes

I know, it’s serious

Hole

( Live )

Hey little girl
Gotta listen to your world
Gotta feel the pain
God it's not the same anymore

You lost your soul

No it's not the same
(?) Entertain the pain
I should get your cane
God I'm so ashamed of your soul

It's gonna be cold

My love will find a way
Someday
To bring you back again

You move
Once more
I feel
That cold, cold water
Running down your face again
Feel that hole

My love will find a way
Someday
To bring you back again

Home

( Live )

Heal down to me
I've rested with you
I've spend always time
Time with my brothers
Love for my sister
Now I'm fine
And I wanna come home
These been some tears
Many fears about the way
The way that you love
The pain when you're bad
It makes me sad
Totally mad
Now I need to come back home
How beautiful
So wonderful
A beautiful love
Friends 'til the end
Now I'm home
Sweet home

Killing all movement

( Controlling Crowds Bonus Disc )

Slowly swallow for reasons that remain
Like counting drops that fall in the rain
Slowly sinking into the black alone
The darkest of pressure comes waving in for you to drown

Slowly twisting coiled up you cannot breathe
Waiting forever for you to go and leave

Killing all movement
Killing all sound

Slowly fading dragging far behind
Losing emotions obsessed and crossing lines
Slowly you vanish, left nothing real behind
Drained of all feeling, lost and out of time

Killing all movement
Killing all sound

*** Thanx a lot to Sebastiaan for this one ***

Men Like You

It’s men like you
That make me sick
Start me off
So Come on

It’s men like you
I’d like to crack
Your head wide open
And leave you smokin
So come on

It’s men like you
Who think you feature
A god like creature
A world class teacher
Spineless Fool
Retarded Mule
Backward Dog
Philistine Hog
Backward Dog
Philistine Hog
So come on

It’s men like you
A low life loser
Second rate user
Your mother tried to lose you
On the back of a bus
On the back of a bus
She tried to save us

So come on

Neatly folded

( Controlling Crowds Bonus Disc )

She folded neatly in my arms
I, I had everything
All that she wanted
Was to love me
Like no one else
But I repeated myself all over again
Why can't I just love
Why can't I just love

Love without hurting someone and causing pain
She only ever wanted to know me
But I'm too selfish for that
I made her doubt herself
But I repeated myself all over again
Why can't I just love
Why can't I just love

*** Thanx a lot to Sebastiaan for this one ***

Run

( Unplugged LP )

Please don't run
Did I mean to spoil your fun
Don't run away
Oh darling, they wanna spoil your day
Oh darling, please don't go away

Don't want to make you cry
Didn't want to make you die
I hate to see, to see you cry
Oh darling, you don't have to change
Oh darling, please don't run away

Please don't run away
Please don't run away...

Oh darling, they wanna spoil your day
Oh darling, please don't run away
Oh darling, they wanna spoil your day
Oh darling
They wanna spoil your day
Oh darling, please don't go away

Sham

God dog
Sunday no funday
Holy joke
Go away
No fun
None whatsoever
Ya sister is sinking

I know I believe
I believe
I believe
That it's beautiful

I know I believe
Yeah I think I
Believe that
It's wonderful

I know if I leave
My belief
Then I leave what's incredible

It's gonna take a better man
To get me out of this sham

If it stays like this
You're a failure
If you keep it up
You're a failure

Because we want
What you're supposed to give us
You're a failure

We want what we're supposed to have
You're a failure

It's gonna take a better man
To get me out of this sham

Slowing

If only I could have sight again
If only I could fly again
If only I could be calm again
If only I could whisper again

With you I am complete
There's nowhere else to go

If only I could cry again
If only I could smile again
If only I could be black again
If only I could be light again

With you I am complete
There's nowhere else to go

Tomorrow Never Knows

( Live )

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining.
Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
