1. _ The Second I Awake
Well your eyes are out of my soul, cold and tired
Open like a door to a winter's night
Silver sky becomes a background that begins to grey
Won't find me falling the second i awake
I thought i was going backwards
Walking down the lane
Found a foggy street
Now i'm not the same
Through a maze of walls and fences
Nothing can be heard
Where a million images are spun to just one
My memories are twisted here as i stand
They hold no meaning for me now without a sound
I can hear the bells are ringing calmly in my ears
Cross the fields that stretch forever
It won't disappear

2. _ Lines & Circles
Crystal faces on a windowsill
I can hear them whisper slowly
Like the chill wind
That moves around this room i'm in
They're going places i've never been
Saying words i've never said
Thoughts of logic at once stopped dead
Moving up all around my head
Lines are forming, circling round my eyes
Turning round, voice would never die
Hey mister sun outside my doorway
Is a revelation, a revolution
I know i would, i've seen it's real
I know i can set your mind free
There's a wide open top to your flower
Every hour growing dead
Lines are forming, circling round my eyes
Turning round, voice would never die
Crystal evenings cracked just like the smile i knew
We're going nowhere so much faster
I can't try to make it stop, yeah
I know there's truth that lies beyond
This world that you perceive
Lines are forming, circling round my eyes
Turning round, voice would never die
It's forming
In a shapeless world i've formed a change

3. _ Ivy
You're climbing down fast
Down where no one can see
Your eyes in the moonlight turn white to blue
Don't think i really want to know where you've been
Just want your grip tight around my skin
I said ivy on the wall
I know way that you creep and crawl
There's a dark-haired girl on a mattress
And there's a room suspended in the air
Echoes screaming through my empty soul
And when it melts in my mouth
Well then i just don't know
Ivy on the wall
I know the way that you creep and crawl
I said ivy on the wall
And in your eyes i can see it all
Wake up in the morning, it's another time
Blood red rain on the window pane
Oh, i've got to let you go
But you know i don't believe it
They tell me it's all over
Ivy on the wall
I know by the way that you creep and crawl
I said ivy on the wall
And in your eyes i can see it all
Ivy on the wall
Ivy on the wall
Ivy on the wall
Ivy...

4. _ Even If
Come walk down the long hall
In the dim light of morning
Step inside my room, i'm waiting alone
It's so weird that you're finally here
In the place where you're going to see
All the sights and the sounds
And then the animals come out of the jungle
Curious to see us waiting here
On the shore of the crystal blue sea
And the waves meet the ship
That we're going to be on
On a flight from this day
To the place where we can stay
And never ever be alone
I know that i'm never going to go back home
I stand at the window, the dim light is fading
It's cold inside my room and it's getting late
Then the animals come out of the jungle
Curious to see me stare at the waves
As they roll out to sea and the waves meet the ship
That we're going to be on
On a flight from this day
To a place where we can stay
And never ever be alone
You know that i'm never going to go
You know that i'm never going to go back home again
Well alright now!
Come walk down the long hall
In the dim light of morning
Step inside my room, i'm waiting alone
It's so weird that you're finally here
In the place where you're going to see
All the sights and the sounds
And then the animals come out of the jungle
Curious to see us waiting here
On the shore of the crystal blue sea
And the waves meet the ship
That we're going to be on
On a flight from this day
To the place where we can stay
And never ever be alone
You know that i'm never going to go
You know that i'm never going to go back home again
(that's good)

5. _ She Knows
She senses the presence of the smallest motion
Wasted like a sad devotion
Turns her glance at where i stand
She knows that the time is this
A sweet invader that could never miss
She knows, she knows
Waves of doubt cascading clearly [ah, she knows]
They make believe that i'm no good [ah, she knows]
And her eyes won't find me here
She knows that the time is this
A sweet invader that could never miss
She knows, she knows
Don't hesitate, it's my fate
To freeze my mind, so messed up
See her eye in the sky
Burn one more into my mind
Today she's gone away
To leave me hung up in her wake
Yeah...
She senses the presence of the smallest notion
Wasted like a sad devotion
Turns to glance at where i stand
She knows the time is this
A sweet invader that could never miss
She knows...

6. _ Invisible Lantern
Locked in this darkened room, a timeless view
Shall i not ponder everything inside
Can't escape my mind
I just let the shadow rot through my soul
But i got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern
Anxious echoes seal the door
Shoes on the floor kicking in my eye
To all my friends i'm crazy and i'm shut away
The don't care about anything i say
So i took my illumination into the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern
The heavy warm lights shade me from the thoughts
That try to creep in my c-c-c-consciousness
Transparent wheels always make me feel
Like i've never been in the right dimension
The girl i've been seeking through all these dreams
Dissolves with a touch 'cause nothing's left to see
I imagine myself outside with you
And there everyone's whispering only what's true
That i got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern
My invisible lantern, my invisible lantern

7. _ Walk Through To This Side
Walk through to this side
I'm sinking in the pale light
Drawing breath in from thin air
When i think about the place i've been
Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side
You stand on a tightrope
You take away and no one knows
The evening sun is dripping fire
And tears are burning into your side
Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side
Yeah, music's coming down
No one is around
Got the doors open wide
Come on inside
Walk through to this side
Been waiting such a long time
I've gone travelling everywhere
I turn around but you're not there
Walk through to this side

8. _ Smokerings
Smoke rings drift in the wind
Looks like they're never coming back again
A sideways street till we reach the end
Wishing all the while that i'd never been here
Feeling like the leaves and i blow about fast
Making me think nothing ever lasts
Reflection mirrored in a shade of grey
Now i don't remember why i ever stayed
Dark clouds are moving in
Dogs howl out in the wind
Smoke rings drift over me
Smoke rings are dreams
Ice cold kiss on a cold steel rail
Like all of the sights that i've watched fail
You told me that you never want to change your place
Just another story that you can't erase
Dark clouds are moving in
Dogs howl out in the wind
Smoke rings drift over me
Smoke rings are dreams
Smoke rings drift in the wind
Looks like they're never coming back again
A sideways street and the fog sets in
Wishing all the while that you'd never been, yeah
Dark clouds are moving in
Dogs howl out in the wind
Smoke rings drift over me
Smoke rings are dreams

9. _ Grey Diamond Desert
Windshield frames a picture of the night
Cold driving, desert highway line
Road keeps twisting slow so i know
Recognise the diamonds flashing by
Nothing i fear could touch me here
Oh lord, it won't change
I've seen the way they turn the talk around
And all the children going down
You've got to move along until your gone
You've got to leave this ugly town
But the words they said don't leave my head
Oh lord, it won't change
Oh lord, it won't change
It won't change...
I never thought the night would find me here
Black raindrops washed away with drunken tears
I live another lie in every mile
One wasted day, one million wasted years
Better keep on going
It's the only thing i know
Oh lord, it won't change
Oh lord, it won't change
It won't change

10. _ Direction Of The Sun
Fade into the picture and you're always there
Long liquid fingers and a bloodshot stare
Screaming like the way i hear an angel sing
Call you once and fall away from everything
Oh, i know we've already gone
In the direction of the sun
In the direction of the sun
I hid behind the curtain where the serpent went
Watching many moons go by around your head
Close enough to feel that i'm cold inside
I've seen you shake and now i know why
Oh, i know it's already gone
In the direction of the sun
In the direction of the sun
Fade into the picture and you're always there
Long liquid fingers and a bloodshot stare
Screaming like the way i hear an angel sing
Call you once and fall away from everything
Oh, i know i've already gone
In the direction of the sun

11. _ Night Comes Creeping
Day breaks and i don't care
The kiss of light upon the stairs
Is coming to the doorway
But there's nothing out there
Time's stopped within my mind
Same as all the rest behind
Everything has changed while i was sleeping
One day you'll find she's of another mind
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Loud voices fill the sky
Strange faces in her eyes
And i'm a stranger now but i just don't know it
The circle closes up too slow
Shining in translucent glow
It's darker now 'cause that's the way she sees it
One day you'll find she's of another mind
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Next train to outer space
But of her love there is no trace
The world just turns to silver when you're alone
A different way to bring you down
Falls apart and hits the ground
'take it from me' they said
So you take it with a trembling hand
One day you find she's of another mind
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Ten million directions coming up and coming on strong
These roads run together in my mind's eye
All i'm leaving behind is a river run dry
I'm not stealing your vision, you're just blind

12. _ Shadow Song
Can't get back, can't remind you
We're closer now than i would want to be
They think it's easy if you just imagine
Before the dust will trip you up again
Choose the way that you want to go now
I'll meet you there, meet you there somehow
We leave behind all this worried puzzle
Wake from a dream, i knew you'd be there still
Don't you step into the shadows
Into a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadows
Down the street lined with dirt and plastic
When you appeared i just happened to be
In the midst of another nightmare
Taking me back just like i knew it would
Don't you step into the shadows
There's a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadows
In the dark there's no-one with me
There's no stars to warm my skin
I'd light a match if i could hold one
It's coming over me again
It's coming over me again, yeah
Let this feeling go on past us
Let this cage turn into rust
So many pieces and so many people
You'll never figure out just who i was then
Don't you step into the shadows
Into a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadows
