In the beginning
They were just words
Only self expression
But now they are in control
They define us
They divide us in sects
And all that we learn
Has to argue against them
And give proof of its worth
To these followers
The first who spoke aloud
Spread opinions to explain the start
But now we have new ideals
We have justice
We can heed the consequence
The all the undecided
That there are no sins - there are only judgements
Make all these lost souls see
That there are no souls - there are only moments

Grain of Sand
05:10
|

A grain of sand falls through the glass capillary
Somewhere a shard of time is withering
You can hear it fall a thunderball or misery
Somewhere a hopeful heart is leaking
Chorus:
All this pain that you try and live with
And contain with a ball and chain
Well it tugs at your heart and spirit
And it gains force and weight
If you betray your sorrow
And you make out that its all ok
Then your tears are in vain
And as the sand slips through your hands just savour it
Another a shard of time is broken
You can hear it call, the spark of life, the Midas touch
Another shard of time is born again
Chorus
Counting all the grains
Ticking along, counting away
Storing all his weight
Heaving along, crawling on your knees

Asbestos messes with your brain
Dieldrin is a moth-proofing agent
Ammonia irritates your eyes
Mix it with bleach and you'll be comatised
Petroleum distillates we postulate give cancer to the lung
So you don't wanna breathe that shit in
And monosaccarides are very nice but rot away your gums
Can somebody save me please?
I'm losing the will to live
From fear of disease
These things are surrounding me
Oh my god
And so I'm moving to the countryside
To get away from this toxicity
I'll grow a beard and brew some herbal tea
I'll wear a leaf and burn my PVCs
Wait, that releases CFCs
And MPTP will give me PD
Wait come to think of it I think I'm better back inside the womb
Cos mama won't raise no fool

Leap
04:31
|

Pause before you begin
And let the truth sink in
Prepare and say goodbye
Give your final thought
To friends who know you not
Hold back those demons again
Just hold on for just one minute more
And hold on - before you jump the final gap
And hold your breath
Just hold your breath
And as you fall, the weight lies scattered on your trail
With every breath inhaled the ground has more detail
See no-one told you it would take a leap of faith to show the way
And now the fog is far above
You know the leap was your mistake
Too late
So pause before you begin
And let the truth sink in
The choice is yours alone
Let your dying thought
Be that which you have lost
Embrace those demons again

Lifeline

Rise, ageing but dignified
What you lack in speed
Compensate in style
Another day added to the pile
A hundred soft-pretenses
For each worth-while
But leave us a lifeline, a guiding star
A way to make those wasted hours count
It's not fair, but you lead the way
You're no better, you're no better no
But you could change tomorrow
Keep saving your finest hours
Keep your head forward
But your eyes wide
Another day cast into the fire
All that depth and wisdom
So volatile
But leave us a lifeline, a trail of crumbs
A safer way through all the traps you've sprung
Of all the different sorrows
You could think about
Know the tables turn
And you're right to want a second chance
And it'll be yours
Of all the things you know
Paths you've trodden on
Know the turns ahead
May mean that we don't mean again
But it'll be fine

Idian Whim
05:19
|

All the crimes when you are sleeping
They can't take away from you
All the sweet lapses in sin
They can't look, no they can't look
Some may fall and some may rise
Hold their breath in fear while you decide
Out here in this innersphere what I say goes
You fools better watch yourselves or I'll blow smoke
While you dream, all hell breaks loose
The guilty and the brave are innocently slain
On an Idian Whim
While you sleep...
As the bloodlust takes you under
Who can tell what's right and wrong?
As the darkness filters in
You sink deeper into sleep
Some will plead for their demise
Just before you strike between the eyes
Those ungrateful filthy swine
Hang them from the trees till they comply

Hollow
04:30
|

While men create
And analyse away the details
Hidden in the frame
The full picture
It disintegrates
No way round, there's no way to turn away
No way to have the whole without the parts
There's no secret no, there's no secret
There's no way to find a rose without the thorns
It's not a fraction, but a new reaction
It's a change of soil, it's a new tomorrow
It's not a question, but a new direction
It's a rising shallow, it's a filled-in hollow
Inside - all the treasures lined up
Waiting for the one
With the vision and power
This frame will have had its day
And disintegrate, it disintegrates

Anomaly
Outwith the walls
Waiting to see
If there's a place for you in here
Fall and see
Them, you and me
We fall as one
In this society of Men
If everybody feels the same, how can you cause pain?
If everybody shares the blame, how do you take yours?
If everybody feels alone, how do you live with your self?
Those that fall outside the wall
A bloodstained line binds and ties us
In the end your suffering will blind us all
Tear down the bricks and stand on the heap
Save yourself from the humility
Cos Anomaly, there is a place for you in here
If everybody feels the same, how can you cause pain?
(If all you needed was the same old push, pull yourself up)
If everybody shares the blame, how do you take yours?
(If all you needed was a hangman, tie it yourself)
If everybody feels alone, how do you live with your self?
(If you feel alone, climb down)
