The Faker (Duty to Resist) 04:11
lyrics
Faker - duty to resist The whole thing is his brainchild Faker - duty to resist He tries to invade your mind But we're on to him this time Power corrupted him And it's time to draw the line The Faker knows about it And he's coming for you He knows, he knows That you may let him in too The whole thing is his brainchild Faker - duty to resist He knows we know When he tells his lies Who knows? He knows Recognise his disguise He knows. He knows Deny, deny, deny But you know it's a crime His poison will kill you So, catch it in time The faker! The faker! (The Faker) Don't let it dominate you Ooh...Duty to resist Ooh...Duty to resist (The Faker) Don't be afraid of it...

Lady Assumptions 06:05
lyrics
We've known each other since we were at school And I text you every now and then You had a husband and I'm on my own All very low-key and innocent Now your jealous husband is out the door The darker evenings are now closing in I think you're feeling sad and lonely Because you're suddenly e-mailing I write my long and thoughtful answers 'Cos I like you and I feel that is right The 'phone rings today - I see it's you You want to come over tonight! How can I gently tell you? 'Cos I respect you But it's getting to the point where I can barely function When I'm with you Right there on cue I'm getting warning signs of Lady Assumptions Even with my man's mind I know something's on the brew Secretive lady... What are you up to? Anticipating what you're feeling It's off my radar and it's killing me I'm no good at this mind-reading And I'm not hanging round to wait and see I may misinterpret your intentions I will not lose control of my life You're not answering my questions, so listen: I have no desire for a wife! How can I gently tell you? 'Cos I respect you But it's getting to the point where I can barely function When I'm with you Right there on cue I'm getting warning signs of Lady Assumptions How can I gently tell you? 'Cos I respect you But it's getting to the point where I can barely function When I'm with you Right there on cue I'm getting warning signs of Lady Assumptions

Lost Touch 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I wonder why Touch feels so nice We once wondered why It feels so smooth And soothed our minds You once held me And consoled me I can hardly remember now But I try Fate had found us And we couldn't lose We couldn't choose Another way, that day My heart was yours to see You loved me and told me We were so happy That we cried I can't complain Life's been too kind I always find a way Not to lose my mind But when you told me You'd no longer hold me I lost something that day I still can't find

Intermission 02:59
lyrics
Hey there This is my story A little ditty, for your imagination And if you think I'm a fool, That's cool, it's your determination You may be in for a shock Is it crazy? No, it's not As I await the morning sun The night unveils another thought revolution No doubt it'll space you out, Something to think about. Calm down, pull up a chair Close your eyes, I'll take you there... I live many lives Different planets, places and times You ask, “What is it like?” It's cool, but not all the time Being born, all I've got is my mind, my body My soul gets left behind It's recorded on an Inner Screen To study at home, to see how I was mean Now and then it gets scary I've learned everybody has a disguise It doesn't matter if you laugh or cry Just be brave, before you die So, without further ado The first songs are over and we dim the lights And now, present the story - for your delight

Inner Screen 03:40
lyrics
Oh what a life! The perfect family Holidays Fun-filled nights Smiles and friends Getaways... Sunlit days... The job's a breeze Great colleagues Fat salary And photos... All smile please... But what we don't see Is how the story plays out On your Inner Screen Inner Screen The secret, pre-social media feed Choose Freedom That's what it's all about! Choose Freedom That's what it's all about! Choose Freedom That's what it's all about! Oh what a life! Mundane family No money Rainy days Lonely nights Broadband down Distant friends The real you is honest and free! Project your Inner Screen Inner Screen The secret, pre-social media feed Inner Screen Inner Screen

Two Hundred Lives 07:04
lyrics
He lived ten thousand years or so And saw the souls around him grow How he loved to see them smile And how he loved their courage too Many lives had made him shine Their suffering would make him cry He overcame the trials he’d had He’d been both good and bad Two hundred lives Two hundred lives He scaled the windy mountains And sailed the high seas He roamed for years in the deserts, Forests and fields of green He sought the wisest men Prayed to his ancestry He took the high road But his deeds were never seen He felt his eyes were open wide And saw the beauty of this world He learned to look into their eyes And discover their disguise Two hundred lives Two hundred lives Sometimes he wonders why he went there What good has it done? Then he remembers all the love shared And wonders if it’s just begun… He scaled the windy mountains And sailed the high seas He roamed for years in deserts, Forests and fields of green He sought the wisest men Prayed to his ancestry He took the high road But his deeds were never seen He walked the melting ice sheets Strode through The Killing Fields He dived the deepest oceans Saw the end of Mankind’s Shield He fought through steaming jungles Saw caves where crystals gleam He rode the Rocinanté through time and galaxies

Born 04:24
lyrics
I hear I see I learn I speak I do I know I eat I grow I am born Born ready All I need is in this head and this body I am born Born steady All I feel is in this head and this body Don’t expect me To be quite sane I elected to be born Again and again One more life And then I’m free I can stay home Until the spirit summons me I am born Born ready All I need is in this head and this body I am born Born steady All I feel is in this head and this body I am born Strong and free With all I need Grown up and fed So, get ready!

The Journey Has Ended 04:30
lyrics
Have you ever sunk so low you became a disgrace? Ever danced towards the source of your dark desire? Have you crawled a thousand miles just to feel an embrace? Ever done the right thing and been made a pariah? Ever found a secret place that was concealed? Each life a surgeon’s knife – you have to cut to heal. I was discarded once and blown into space I sought to lay their fate upon a funeral pyre Now I see evil souls and laugh in their face I stood on a mountain and watched the world on fire Looking back now at how I lived with swords and shields Entering Elysium, a purpose is revealed I lift my face and turn it to the sun (I’m mended) I’m proud of whom I have become (and what I’ve transcended) I stand tall and strong in the fields of love What had to be done has been done The journey has ended Welcome to Elysium – we’re so proud of all of you! Welcome to Elysium – we’re so proud of all of you! Welcome to Elysium – we’re so proud of all of you! Ever found a secret place that was concealed? Each life a surgeon’s knife – you have to cut to heal. I lift my face and turn it to the sun (I’m mended) I’m proud of whom I have become (and what I’ve transcended) I stand tall and strong in the fields of love What had to be done has been done The journey has ended
