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

Summer of Love
04:51
|
|||
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

A Masterpiece
04:11
|

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 Demons Are
04:36
|
|||
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
