Right Just Now
02:51
|
|||
You will worship me
Then we'll all be happy
Unconditional love becomes conditional
Because I make the rules
And if you defy me
And my book doth not read
Eternal fire and pain will be my gift to you
Because I have mercy
Righteous then
Righteous now
The story goes I'm not a real angel
But I fell from the sky
And wrote some lies
(An angel in disguise)
And so you walk my path
A frikkin' psychopath
And no, you're not alone
I swear by myself
It's not a trap!
Write just then
Right just now
Righteous now

The Nobody Zone
04:01
|

Walking The Zone was easy for me
But then there's nowhere quite like home
Was content to seek nobody
Society is overblown
Study my face, look deep into my eyes
Can you see there's no disguise?
They look awa, 'cos they just don't wanna know
And it's somewhere they won't go
And what do you know?
Solitude can help you grow
For lack of a choice, I went along for the ride
There were things that I let go
Found emotions never shown
Into The Zone I did slide
Hoping that I'd find a key
Shielded from mankind
Bordering insanity...
Another state of mind
Like a human growth hormone
An ever-changing milestone
The Nobody Zone is keeping me alive

Distractionville
02:50
|
|||
They only wanted some love
And to be seen
To be fullfilling all their dreams
I cannot judge them
Cos I'm as guilty
Heedless of tears they'll cry
They race into the city
Distractionville
Disinfopocrisy
Distractionville
Duplitinsincerity
Distractionville
Treachaudacity
Distractionville
Go and see the sights
Distractionville
Projections of others' lives
Distractionville
Just ignore the traffic lights

My Comforting Soliloquy
04:04
|
|||
It's clinical how your choices follow you
It's logical now how experience has moulded me
My path diverged and all they do is judge me
That's what they call a civilised society...
I am free
And not unkind
My comforting soliloquy
My goals are mine
And more than you can see
A moral compass find equanimity
It's cynical now, they will not follow me
I'm just a clown - a painted face is all they can see
It's too late now cos I have left the party
That's what they call a moment ofsobriety
An odyessy of modern times
Conformity let go, and now it's out of sight
None will find a silent crime
Thoughts from long ago are neither yours nor mine
Nobody will know
Some ideas are born to never grow
Nobody will see
Streams that cannot flow are never free

Shine
06:28
|

We were The Dream Team
We were The Dream Team
There was a summertime
When we all had shining eyes
And the world which lay at our feet
Was sublime
It would never be the same
When the dreamer's dream was slain
Only memories of those days
Would remain
Ik zal jullie nooit vergeten
Deze uitkomst had ik nooit gewild
Zeker weten wordt alles beter
Zonder mij in jullie wereld
It's now time
To say goodbye
Even losers
Can recognise the signs
You both shine
In my mind's eye
One sunlight, one moonlight
A loyal outcast found a cave
Little more than a paid slave
Lovers gambled with young lives;
Played their games
The Wicked Witch gave her advice
And the lambs were sacrified
All attempts to save them
Had been in vain
Ik zal jullie nooit vergeten
Deze uitkomst had ik nooit gewild
Zeker weten wordt alles beter
Zonder mij in jullie wereld
It's now time
To say goodbye
Even losers
Can recognise the signs
One day when you're older
You may sigh
Did the hermit ever wither?
Or find the love of his life?
Was he in pain when he died?
You both shine
In my mind's eye
One sunlight, one moonlight

Powerless
04:07
|
|||
War-torn city on T.V
Tales of Kids abused by family
Repeats of history
Am I powerless?
And so the human story goes
Can't say I feel a virtuous glow
No choice but go with the flow
But I'm not powerless
In the little world around me
We've still a need to get away
Tonight we're free
Get our asses downtown
And have some fun baby!
Let your hair down
Put on your party gown
Come and smile with
Let's shake it up baby!
Morning comes...
We tenderly share.
And we still still care.

God of Mars
04:32
|
|||
The God of Mars is nigh
The God of Mars is nigh
Welcome to The New
Wired and in-tune
Light for the Dark Side of the Moon
Moon Summer!
Ships of stainless steel
With A.I. at the wheel
So easy!
Bow you head and kneel!
He lances a car into outer space
Claims credit unjustly with zeal
His mind is always in a different place
The soaring stock price is surreal
A role model for many girls and boys
Who worship him and love his toys
Can't work from home remotely
Despite his technology
Let him drill your brain
And drive you insane
Are you expecting to live on Mars?
(Do you really wanna live on Mars?)
And live how the king tells you to?
(Just a slave of the new God?)
Thousands of people trust him every day
Did he tell you it's one way?
All it takes is, some crazy with a knife...
And in space no one hears you scream...
(It's the con of the century)
There's no air on Mars
Or safe self-driving cars
(He sells the story that you wanna believe)
Welcome to the farce...
(Twitter, twitter...)

Loanshark's Last Voyage
03:58
|
|||
He wants to see the money
Before sunrise
Only taking my freedom from me
Keeps him satisfied
It sucks the lifeblood from me
A masked man enters
I feel his breath and rage
Dragged from bed at gunpoint...
I underpaid
A car ride...
Empty field at midnight...
A shovel thrust into my hand
Digging my own grave.
I can't stand it, but I try
In a cold sweat every night
Gotta exit this way of life
Before I die
Anger drenches me, but I cry
Each night a murderer's dream...
The choice is mine...
Now you're gonna get your money
And more besides
Tonight The Boatman takes his prize
Pay with the pennies on your eyes.

Up high, the valley below
He's got a guide light tonight
And there ain't nobody telling him which way to go
Big sigh, the journey alone
He wants to stay out of sight
'Cos he's grown to love and know The Nobody Zone
They say he's a quitter
Some say he's a dreamer
Some kind of deserter
As he climbs higher
There's a fire in his heart
A hot shot, years ago
He's gonna give up that fight
'Cos there ain't no use in arguing
About what is wrong or right
Why not hit the road?
He's gonna scale different heights
Feel the barren road
The Nobody Zone

The Samaritan
03:31
|
|||
You're hurting now
And are afraid
I've been there
You feel alone
And cold
I've been there
I've faced more than many know
I will listen
But only if you want me to
It's up to you
No Judgement
No talking about me
No pity
I don't know your name
We'll never meet again
You can cry here
Just some time-out for today
No solutions
But it may just pick you up
And kiss you softly
It may kiss you softly
It may kiss you softly
