1.Dreaming Wide Awake
Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me
Cause I'm the one no laughing
Down here on the floor
Deflate the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever imagine
No pretending on decoy
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 angels style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
I'll dream you, I'll dream you,
I'll dream you wide awake
With me disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cause I cannot let you go
Mercy! Like water in the desert
Shines through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now？
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 angels style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
I'll dream you, I'll dream you,
I'll dream you, I'll dream you,
I'll dream you wide awake
It's like I'm raising to the sun
blindly face the blazing gun
Cause I'm afraid I will be left here without you
Like I'm raising not to run
You give me more when I have none
Cause I'm afraid I will be left here without you
Wide awake, wide awake芒鈧？
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 angels style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
I'll dream you, I'll dream you,
I'll dream you, I'll dream you,
I'll dream you, I'll dream you,
I'll dream you wide awake
2.War
Do you remember standing on a broken field
White crippled wings beating the sky
The harbingers of war with their nature 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 fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
When I thought that I 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 cannot linger on this stunted view
Like rabid dogs of war
I will let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field
When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
And we fought to believe the impossible
When I thought that I fought this war alone
We were one with our destinies entwined
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me the reason why
With no-one wearing their real face
It's a whiteout of emotion
And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall
When the love in letters fade
It's like moving in slow motion
And we're already too late if we arrive at all
And then we're caught up in the arms race
An involuntary addiction
And we're shedding every value our mothers taught
So will you please show me your real face
Draw the line in the horizon
Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought
When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
And we fought to believe the impossible
When I thought that I fought this war alone
We were one with our destinies entwined
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me the reason why
3.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 only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you
My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize the smile playing tricks on your lips and I wonder
again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do
I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it scream at the hurt that I knew
How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you
What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I've built around my pseudo world
premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just pass
along
I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity's waiting
alone
How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you
4.15 Min 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 alone
No place here for an easy redemption
If I lack your tears of joy,
please forgive my heartless ploy
Said the fool to his majesty dethroned
Now excuse me
Who was it
who wanted every sec of the fifteen minute flame
To name a love to last through all your infamy
Who was it who wanted ingratiation in their definitions
When name alone can jail eternally
Who was it
who wanted every sec of the flame
Who was it
who wanted every sec of the flame
Who was it
who wanted every sec of the flame
Who was it
who wanted every sec of the flame
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
5.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 innocence
cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown
and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I'm weightless again
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
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
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
6.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,
but they only serve to mask the smell of what you buried
Is it worth your while to spend on a lie,
even though you cannot see eye to eye
N' give in to the rumor seduction,
run by fear and all the good intentions
Rewind, I wanna go it again,
light up the dark, halo on the side
So I'll know it will not leave me wanting,
like my love, kissing me good bye
Rewind, I wanna go it again,
light up the dark, halo on the side
If this is how we think we make amends
We're in for a race that never ends
Where is it we think we'll go
What is it we think we know
It'll never change until we change ourselves
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
So I'll know it will not leave me wanting,
like my love, kissing me good bye
Rewind, I wanna go it again,
light up the dark, halo on the side
7.Dying to Live
Tell me this, would you miss it,
trying on another face again to see if it's you
N' 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
Dying to live
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 that my choices are all wrong
I know the way you go
cos I've lived your life of make believe
Dying to live
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
Dying to live
Dying to live
Behind me now the winding road they sing of
I've come to stand before a silent wall
Finally a chance to find a question
To point out the right answer after all ...this time
So rid us of the plight, the plight of self affliction
Generations choice the drug of self deception
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
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
Dying to live
Dying to live
8.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 with knit and umbrellas
and scarfs and a mild understanding of irony
I feel autumn leaving the race,
all done with the exhilaration
It's leaving,
leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake,
whispering, my love, you're still here
Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell,
rising and falling in harmony
And I feel winter stealing my days,
to herald another creation
9.Smoke and Mirrors
I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth
We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth
But there was no harmony there
No reason for coexistence
Nothing to span the distance, now
Do we even know who we are
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it
Regardless what we broke
Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We're like mirrors seen through smoke
I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace
Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways
But there was no loyalty to hope
And funny the need for mercy
How it makes us bleed all mercy, now
Do we even know who we are
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it
Regardless what we broke
Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We're like mirrors seen through smoke
Now the melody's void of sympathy
cos that shit's in byte size bits on YouTube
so tell me what am I supposed to do
When the malady's no remedy
Till we reach the lowest absolute
And necessity will finally force something
through what's walling you
Do we even know who we are
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it
Regardless what we broke
Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We're like mirrors seen through smoke
10.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 we used to lay beneath the sky,
riding dreams to some other side
Do they burn, the wishes whispered,
like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard
I'm done with questions, I have no answers,
the choice is yours, 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
The bigger the lies
The more they want to believe them
And like a vice
Hold on to what they believe in
The bigger the lies
The more they want to believe them
And like a vice
Hold on to what they believe in
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
Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down cos I need you to rise
No-one else can heal my wounds
