You can hear me fighting Wrestling the devils that I know Another altercation I can see them smile when I'm low Beckoning to me Mephisopheles says I can give you lightning You could be electricity Giving up ascention I'm writing in Enochian scrolls It's going through my head tonight Voices around the sides of my bed Telling me their secrets Telling me everything, like I can give you lightning Be electricity Always looking for answers Tried looking into tea leaves Animal bones, black magic The writings of John Dee And I have taken something Don't even know the name of They told me it'll bring me Closer to God Alter my perception Watch the crowd turn into demons Shadows stretching to me With claws and skeletal hands Holding me tightly Whispering to me I can give you lightning You're electricity I won't try so hard to see anything In the shapes in the clouds Because they don't Have much to say There's nothing to see They don't speak to me I'm right here Not runnning out of here I'm staying I'm right here Not running out I'm right here Not dreaming of going Not leaving ever I'll stay right here I won't try so hard to see anything In the shapes in the clouds Because they don't Have much to say There's nothing to see They don't speak to me I won't try so hard to see anything In the shapes in the clouds Because they don't Have much to say There's nothing to see They don't speak to me

Fears 03:37
One, two, three, four (Slowly, slowly Creeping through me) Take my possessions far away I don't want to see them another day Because they remind me of who I am And what I'm becoming I've got a plan I've got to hide away my fears I don't want to show you Trust me You don't want to know They'll keep me here stuck down below They stop me from moving When I want to go Go, go, go When I want to go now, Go now, now, now Take possession of me At least I won't ever be lonely Never remind me of who I am And what I could've been I've got a plan I've got to hide away my fears I don't want to show you Trust me You don't want to know They'll keep me here stuck down below They stop me from moving When I want to go Go, go, go When I want to go now, Go now, now, now Take it slow Don't leave nothing behind Exhume my soul Then make it hard to find Make my ghost scream forever Take my possessions far away I don't want to see them another day Because they remind me of who I am And what I'm becoming I've got a plan I've got to hide away my fears I don't want to show you Trust me You don't want to know They'll keep me here stuck down below They stop me from moving When I want to go Go, go, go When I want to go now, Go now, now, now

I know it's real because I have seen it In the mirror, in my reflection It may be a mythic truth But it's real to me You can be a husband, be a wife If I eschew tradition You could still be nice It's fine to express yourself so fluidly Wasn't there a Summer of Love? And we can fantasize about one another Naked, writhing, us two together We felt the spark Let's not move gingerly Are they a boy or a girl, Why does it matter? Just two people Why does it matter? It's not like you have to be there when they come Yet there you are... We had flowers in our hair but nobody's talking Human Be-Ins, nobody's talking We all changed, but no-one cares at all We had Golden Gates but nobody's talking No disputes, but nobody's talking They just dilute the message And remember The Beatles That was the Summer of Love That was the Summer of Love Gone, gone, gone You can try to crush them, shut them down But we've seen your phone You can just come out You don't need to hide your curiousity If you hide it away You'll be the aggressor Let it out, don't let it fester Remember my words to "Love Your Neighbour" We need a Summer of Love We had flowers in our hair but nobody's talking Human Be-Ins, nobody's talking We all changed, but no-one cares at all We had Golden Gates but nobody's talking No disputes, but nobody's talking They just dilute the message And remember The Beatles There was a Summer of Love There was a Summer of Love Gone, gone You call them 'freaks' That they could love anybody that they might meet You watch them on your screens So indiscrete All they are to you Is your taboo to get you going To excite you We know the truth

Take a look in the mirror I invented reflection, I invented that face Now take a little step nearer I made gravity that's keeping you in place Created Earth in seven days There's nothing here that I would change So take a look in the mirror It's gonna stay the same Because I had time I could have made it good if I wanted to But I declined There wasn't anyone to expect it to be a masterpiece So I had time I could have made it good if I wanted to But I declined There wasn't anyone to expect it to be a masterpiece You think you see yourself clearer Than anyone around you knows for sure I think I'm liking you better When you make changes, like yourself more I've made mistakes before I start again, that's what floods are for, well If you can see yourself clearer Then don't stay the same Because I had time I could have made it good if I wanted to But I declined There wasn't anyone to expect it to be a masterpiece So I had time I could have made it good if I wanted to But I declined There wasn't anyone to expect it to be a masterpiece, well We had dinosaurs Look outside They're no more We changed out minds So many times So you could sleep safe Asteroids rain down Comets come calling Shooting stars falling All around the world tonight Because I had... Oh I had time I could have made it good if I wanted to But I declined There wasn't anyone to expect it to be a masterpiece (A masterpiece, a masterpiece) On the first day, we were filled with the fire of inspiration This sustained us into the second day On the third day, we got one too many things wrong We only realised this on the fourth day On the fifth day, we doubted ourselves On the sixth day, we hit writer's block And on the seventh day, we gave up Because I had time I could have made it good if I wanted to But I declined There wasn't anyone to expect it to be a masterpiece So I had time I could have made it good if I wanted to But I declined There wasn't anyone to expect it to be a masterpiece

Where were you when the lights went out? There were shadows, and creatures about I know, I know where demons are And in the darkest hours Built a funeral pyre to the city The fall of an empire Sinai; our own pillar of fire We stole mixing boards As Babylon falls into ruin I saw Superman walk away Why stay when the camera's dead? So we drank all night With the heat at our heels And the morning felt like it never came We changed We'll never be the same again There's a light I see it it's in front of you But your eyes Shut closed against it And the shadows that follow me recoil When you reflect that light towards me And it goes... Then a beam shone down Broke through the clouds And we heard it That alien sound echo Bouncing all around the spires So we danced all night Our synthetic sunrise saved us Then we looked to the skies He's gone Went back to outer space Someone find me Someone guide me Someone light the way for me There's a light I see it it's in front of you But your eyes Shut closed against it And the shadows that follow me recoil When you reflect that light towards me When I am with you I can do anything When I am with you You know where demons are Someone find me Someone guide me Someone light the way for me There's a light I see it it's in front of you But your eyes Shut closed against it And the shadows that follow me recoil When you reflect that light towards me When I am with you I can do anything When I am with you I can do anything
