TELEPATH EP
ISOLATION
ANOTHER DREAM
RISE
STRANGE LIFE
WATER
TELEPATH
ISOLATION
I can't seem to shake the river's course
I get swung by a stronger force
That washes me out to see
The kiss that led me to this place
The fire that leaves no earthly trace
And the chains that set me free
(CHORUS)
And now I know that isolation isn't real
But distance has distorted how I feel
Layer after layer that I peel
To find the heart of fury it reveals
I guess it's meant to be this way
White as night and black as day
And dead machinery
The haunting of the lover's song
That comes so quick and stays so long
And burns inside of me
(CHORUS)
Back to Top
Dawn is hanging over us,the day is newly born
Together we have weathered midnight's dark erotic storm,
The moon and all her magnetism were my guiding lights
Through passages where sunlit eyes would need a second sight.
(CHORUS)
If only you could see what I have seen
And know that this is just another dream,
No longer any sense of in between,
No longer just a part of the machine.
You know too much to turn away, you know so much it hurts,
The masquerade of sanity and all that it deserts,
The riddles are wide open now, you can see both sides,
The magic and the scientific spinning in the tides.
(CHORUS)
Back to Top
I can feel it through my veins
I can see it on the TV screen,
Even in the serpent's eyes
Raging with intensity,
The animals are restless now
And sense something up in the skies
Darkness in this noonday heat
Well, I guess it should be no surprise
(BRIDGE 1)
You cast your spell at the wishing well
And pray for some release,
But words are numb and logical
They're like a strange disease.
(CHORUS)
Fly, spread your wings and feel set free
Yeah, this mainline rush has got a hold on me
I wanna take you higher and higher and higher and higher
Before we crash into the sea
Then we'll have to swim for shore
And borrow more money
There's no cover to run for,
There's no place left to hide
And the only ghosts worth running from
Are living down deep inside
But I've seen the earth as a golden orb
And I've felt the warmth of love
And I've tried to change the course of history
Healing the poisoned dove
(BRIDGE 2)
But I've heard that speech beyond our reach
Between the twisting trees
While recovering from madness
I found true sanity
(CHORUS)
Back to Top
It's plain to see
That you live like a ghost
You seem so blind in the back of your mind
But you see more than most.
You deal in riddles,
You speak in curves,
You've tasted light from a dangerous height
Where other's lose their nerve.
(BRIDGE)
And now the door is open,
The phoenix has awoken....
(CHORUS)
Seeds of a stranger life than I could ever lead
You gave me more than I would ever need
You live your life at someone else's speed
And I adore you I adore you
You crush illusion
With the softest sigh
Bells are ringing, birds are singing
But you just walk on by.
And the midnight hour
Draws us closer still
To finding ways through the darkest maze
By sheer force of will.
(BRIDGE)
(CHORUS)
Back to Top
I couldn't sleep,
I was far too involved
With the movement of life
Beyond the river.
People dissolving
In the name of survival,
Who only sing songs
That the sirens have given
(CHORUS)
And the cool black water
Gives nothing back,
This strange lifeless blood
Seeps through every crack....
Trains rattle slowly
And lights burning endless,
I'm just waiting
For this fever to shift.
You say you're in love
But it's useless pretending
While you're plotting destruction
In days ahead.
(CHORUS)
Back to Top
You play games of chess with people
You don't even know,
And play to lose deliberately
To see how far they'll go.
You have no need for doorways,
Cause you can see through walls,
The second coming is here already
I can hear him down the hall.
