1. _ Innerspace
I see the scars of action all writhing 'round your face
Too much inactivity and home's a lonely place
Throw away your beauty 'cos you know that it won't last
Throw away your present, you've been living in the past
C'mon, take a trip with me
Across the bridge of lunacy
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
I've thrown away my images, they're all so distant now
Discovery was a stranger then, welcome to my house
Whatever demons torture me, I love them like a friend
Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change
I'd rather move around and be
Than figure out life and what it means
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
Don't wanna waste my time on you
If you can't travel this way too
Fire up some beast, we'll ride the skywaves
And when the fireball's work is done
And we are part of the nuclear one
The whole damn thing begins again
Our glory days have just begun
A fiery sideslip, then we're gone
I'll see ya Monday morning...
Anyway, I'm coming back
Anyway, I'm coming back...

2. _ Space Race
Yes, yes, I'd launch into the rising sun
My living breath is measured, every step is done
Fare ye well, my friends, see you down the line
Yeah, yeah...
I don't belong to nation state or dying race
I leave my prejudice with you, my religion's in space
Have a little respect...
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
Yes, yes, I'd float around till gravity's end
Unity is coming singular again
See you then, my friends, at the end of time
Yeah, yeah...
Secret knowledge; science, logic, all are gone
Nothing left but burning up into the sun
On a cosmic beach, I'll see ya there
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...

3. _ Faith
You knew I wouldn't go
That's why you threatened me
Would I stay?
Said I was sick, and I'd be alone
Said my mind was not my own
I didn't learn...
You crawled up on your knees
A victim's pretty-please
Would I stay? Would I stay?
And I stayed...
(How many more times)
How many more times
Till I broke down from that guilty mess?
(How many more times)
You taught me to hate to love you
That's because you love to hate yourself
I wish it had a happy end
Like the fairy tales pretend there can be
But things are not the same
When your life love was a game of make-believe
You've got everything you want
But not everything you need
And it's true...
You receive what you achieve
(How many more times)
How many screaming fights, tears of rage
Until it ended?
(How many more times)
How many more times till I say who I am
And don't pretend?
(How many more times)
How many more times
Till I broke out of that guilty mess?
(How many more times)
How many more times till I say who I am
And don't pretend?

4. _ Meltdown
Hey, you wait - cringing in the dark
You create what you always fear
A puppet of hatred, dishing out poison
You use me for bait (bait) - your begging bowl of lies
Chain letters of sniveling compromise
I can smell the difference
Your truth and your fiction
You and your twisted convictions
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...
Out of my head?
Cold, like your blood
The snake is always cool (cool)
When things get tough
You slither on the ground
You cover up your tracks when I'm around
(laughs)
(yeah)
It's over now, my friend
Your dog has had its day
It's payback time for what you had to say
You're stuck with the life you made
Stuck with the plans you made
Stuck with everything you are
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...
Out of my head?
Everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen right now
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...
Out of my head?
Crawling (crawling), calling (calling)
Out of my head (head)
Crawling (crawling), calling (calling)
Out of my head

5. _ Dreamstate
Well, you bred me
Well, you fed me
Well, you made me what I am
Something for nothing
Good for nothing
Well...
It's a dreamstate - a dreamstate
To kill me with kindness, you'll just have to wait
You say I'm nothing
You say I'm nothing
Never gonna be something
Well, then, that's the life for me
Your expectations
Your reservations
Aw, c'mon, please...
It's a dreamstate - a dreamstate
You brought it to the vision so you don't have to wait
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate...
Now I'm standing up here before the judge
Jury's got their head where the sun don't shine
Everybody's lying on my case
They're lying on
They're lying on
They're lying on
They're lying on my case...
Eyes above me
Eyes above me
Never realized there was someone else in here
No resolution
And no conclusion
Do I believe?
(Do I believe?)
In a dreamstate - a dreamstate
You fell for it, sucker, you fell for the bait
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate...
A dreamstate...

6. _ Inertia
These are the pictures
These are the feelings from the front line
Living in silence
Feeling the deafness like heavy smoke
Smiling with strangers
Counting the days like a spring coiled up inside
Welcome to your future
Welcome to your book of lies
Fingers crawl through pages
Nothing changes, living here
Inertia - no wish to move at all
Inertia - everything's a stone wall
Inertia - history lets you die
A ragged pile of silent accusers
Smell the blood of strangers here
No eyes, no ears, no smell, no taste
The mouth of the maggot is full of this place
Murdered conscience, the pressure is crushing heads
Like paper lanterns now
Unbreakable grip, a dead hand driving us
Forward to the end
Kicking through the traces
A thousand years from now
Inertia - no wish to think at all
Inertia - everything's a stone wall
Inertia - history lets you die
Inertia - no wish to move at all
Inertia - everything's a stone wall
Inertia - history lets you die

7. _ Octavia
I'm vacuum-breathing and open-mouthed
As the red shift fills my eyes
Minister my promises
As her shadow cuts the day away
I remembered you, as you walked into that room
Dislocated, jagged pieces
Are sliding into this broken mind
Swimming back against the river
But I'm rising with the tide
Where we came from, we're all going back there soon
How many times have we met this way?
How many lives have we lived before?
How many faces and how many names?
Shadows come, but shadows are gone
Shadows come, but shadows are gone
How many times have we met this way?
How many lives have we lived before?
How many faces and how many names?
Shadows come, but shadows are gone
Shadows come, but shadows are gone

8. _ Solar Confinement
Trapped inside a web of fiery gravity that fuels all our needs
Chaotic energy that sucks the life from H to He
All life withers in the sun - I deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights in roaring halls of crimson fire
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares
(o-oh)
I've slept with many strangers
So fission, fusion, fission makes good sense
Where I laid my head, my troubles I'll put down to experience
It's warm and lonely in the sun - I deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights in roaring halls of crimson fire
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares
Solar distress flares
(o-oh)
A lonely boy sits in his room
His curtains hide the sun
Confess to what you've done
And no one understands
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar confinement
Solar distress flares
Solar distress flares
Solar distress flares
(o-oh)

9. _ Back From The Edge
A silent river flowing black
Strange attractors, no turning back
Present danger I recall
That pins my senses to the wall
Back from the edge
Where the darkness has fled
And I'm swimming in light
And I'm falling...
Falling from the edge
Back from the edge
I fell from grace, and that's a fact
I still have urges, I fight back
Cold decisions wear me thin
Kill yourself, begin again
Back from the edge
Where you're not worth a damn
Throw yourself into light
And the rush as you spin from the edge...
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Now and then I wonder where
The faces from my childhood have gone
Like father, like son
In your bones it lives on
Glowing shadows
Back from the edge
(Back from the edge)
Back from the edge
(Back from the edge)
Back from the edge
(Back from the edge)
Back from the edge
(Back from the edge)

10. _ Headswitch
What would induce you to swear your allegiance to God, tonight?
Joined at the hip to a million-volt switch of the light - alright
You want to find out what the planet's about?
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Your eyes are black as they see the red ball of the sun
And they're blind
Dribbling with come as the volts start to arc through your mind
Cruel, but it's kind
Like father, like son
Chop off the head, but the body lives on
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Like father, like son
Chop off the head and the body lives on
Heaven that made you has screwed you and laughed
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...

11. _ Inside The Machine
I've got myself a widget
A gizmo with wires, and Martian intent, yeah
Strange face of beauty, that's my machine
It blinks and stares right at me
Sees nothing, but in its wires
A strange thing of beauty, that's my machine
You won't believe what it can do
It tells me things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror, when you ask, it tells you true
Inside the machine - the web has got you now
Inside the machine - yeah...
I'd strap my DNA to it
A living device, the light of my life, yeah
Strange face of beauty, that's my machine
I sit, we crackle with static
It makes no sense to have experience when
A strange thing of beauty, that's my machine
You won't believe what it can do
It tells me things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror, when you ask, it tells you true
Inside the machine - we're looking for control
Inside the machine - you're part of it somehow
Inside the machine - yeah, yeah, yeah...
Inside the machine - the web has got you now
Inside the machine - you're part of it somehow
Inside the machine - we're looking for control
Inside the machine - yeah...

12. _ Strange Death In Paradise
Spiralling, falling - a silver machine
From wings of freedom, silent above
Eyelids were burning, summer sun roasting
Tumbling chrome in the clear blue sky
Brighter than sunshine, for all of our lifetimes
1000 stars turned day into night at the end
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
People were kissing in front of their shadows
Children were playing out in the yard
I am not guilty, I made no difference
I wasn't born and I wasn't made on that day
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise

13. _ I Will Not Accept The Truth
I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth...
That I'll never get there
Never get there
(yeah, yeah)
I must not push forward, no
I must not push forward, no
I must not push forward, no...
'Cos I'll never get there
I'll never get there, no way...
(yeah)
I will not believe your lies
I will not believe your lies
I will not believe your lies...
You say I'll never get there
Never get there (somewhere)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on...
I will not accept your truth
I will not believe your lies
I will not acknowledge pain
I will survive and live again
Coming back now
(Coming back now)
Rising up now, lord
(Rising up now)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth
I will not accept the truth
