The clicking wires
The ticking clocks
They're in my brain
In my brain
In my brain
Like a wave of shocks
Bang goes the world
The bright sun cracks
There's a train
There's a train
There's a train
And I'm frozen to the tracks
ONOMATOPOEIA
ONOMATOPOEIA
That's enough
The hissing fire
The rumbling sky
They're out of place
Out of place
Out of place
And I can't remember why
Crash down around me
Emotions flow
Up through the floor
Through the floor
Through the floor
No matter where I go
ONOMATOPOEIA
ONOMATOPOEIA
ONOMATOPOEIA
ONOMATOPOEIA
That's the buzz
Feeling fragile as a cobweb
Sinking faster than a stone
Beneath the weight of every word
A chill that burns me to the bone
Until the fever breaks
And I'm back in from the cold
I'll hear whispers in my heart
And feel the distance in my soul
ONOMATOPOEIA
ONOMATOPOEIA
ONOMATOPOEIA
ONOMATOPOEIA

Can we talk about our last conversation?
It was heated I got burned
And please don't act like nothin' even happened
Just listen and learn
We've invested too much time
This is yours as much as mine
What if I told you that I never loved you?
What would you do?
Is that what you always wanted to hear?
Your words are so few
This is all that I am
All I want is to understand
The lights turn dim
The fog rolls in
And I lay still
Check my thoughts
One by one
I think of you still
How everything ends is all fine
But can we just get to the bottom line
Here goes nothin'
Put all fear aside
Run with the bulls
Am I missin somethin'
Kiss all I love tonight
Light myself on fire
If time is all it takes to heal these wounds
Then I've got nothin' but time
Nothin' but time
That's my bottom line
That's my bottom line
I found my bottom line
Or it found me
. . .

If I come to break your balls
It's alright
If you can't keep from climbing the walls
It's alright
When the clouds are closing in
It's alright
No I will not give in
It's alright
You can feel my every move
Sooner or later I'll refuse
To let you into my good graces
See the smiles upon their faces
Leading up to my reply
Their voices fill up the night sky
Feel Euphoria
All around you
You made your own bed now lie in it
No one put a gun to your head
Did you hear the news today?
Have you read what the papers say?
Neon green in alabaster
Spinning heads are spinning faster
Should you stay or should you go
That's for you to wonder and for me to know
Feel Euphoria
All around you
If I choose I will give nothing
You can't stop me from feeling something
Digging in I'm digging faster
Trying hard to avoid disaster
. . .

I close the shutters tight and fall asleep
To the sound of the fan
The wind flows over me
And I dream you're not very far
Cause you're my shining star
Shine your light on me
Awake I feel the blood rush to my skin
I call you out and somehow let you in
And I dream you're not very far
Cause you're my shining star
Shine your light on me
The body's getting old but seems to find the way
For just enough to blow it all
When I'm running blind and I can't see anymore
You're there to open the door
When all feels lost I turn and there you are
Now I know you're never very far
Cause you're my shining star
Shine your light on me
Tomorrow never knows about what is today
But that's OK, yes that's OK
Cause when I'm running blind and I can't see
Your light shines down, right down on me
Some people call it luck some people call it fate
But all I know is I'm here today
Bathing in the light that lights my way
. . .

Once a lost soul raced his shadow
Down a dark road out of town
Tried to leave himself behind him
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS
Like a dagger through the heartland
Over gravel dust and glass
Storm-dark clouds and neon halos
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS
This is how the story goes
Took a miracle to make him go
Stopped at midnight miles from nowhere
Got out dropped down on his knees
In the dirt he wrote her name out
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS
Home was just a broken promise
No good reason to turn back
AM stations drift to static
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS
The greatest story never told
Took a miracle to make him go
In a house there hangs a picture on the wall
Of them in better days before the bitter fall
Before a quiet man slipped out into the night
A disillusioned man walked out without a fight
SIHPMEM FO TSEW NEDE FO TSAE

Listen to the whisper of the rain
Voices in the mist
Beyond your window
And you remember
Days of love she spun a web of chains
That wrapped around your heart
And when you held her
You held forever
Green to grey
As forever slipped away
And down through the years
The seasons changed
Still a cold wind blows today
No sun to melt the frost
Because she's lost among the
GHOSTS OF AUTUMN
Fate's a quiet river at your feet
It rose up slow and dark
Without a warning
And pulled you under
Now she's gone but haunting every dream
Scattered on the wind
And in the rolling
Of distant thunder
Green to grey
As forever slipped away
And down through the years
The seasons changed
Still a cold wind blows today
No sun to melt the frost
Because she's lost among the
GHOSTS OF AUTUMN

Pt. I - Intro
[This section is instrumental]
***
Pt. II - Same Old Story
Sid was wild when He was a kid
Never quite understood why he did just what he did
Now he wonders why nobody likes him
Now he wonders why he can't get any respect
His is the same old story
(yet another chapter in your book)
He fell flat in his moment of glory
(you try to turn away but you take a look)
Now he want us all to feel his sadness
(you cannot win the game if you go insane)
With all the junk spilling from his mouth of madness
Sid went high to the top of the mountain
Stood tall with the weight of the world upon his back
In a sea of money and power
Fought for his name until the final hour
His is the same old story
(yet another chapter in your book)
He fell flat in his moment of glory
(you try to turn away but you take a look)
Now he wants us all to feel his sadness
(you cannot win the game if you go insane)
With all the junk spilling from his mouth of madness
I used to be an honest man
I used to laugh
I used to cry
Now it's gone and I don't know why
No matter how hard I try
I can't lie to myself anymore
His is the same old story
(yet another chapter in your book)
He fell flat in his moment of glory
(you try to turn away but you take a look)
Now he wants us all to feel his sadness
(you cannot win the game if you go insane)
With all the junk spilling from his mouth of madness
***
Pt. III - You Don't Know
Every story has two sides
But no one ever wants to hear mine
No no one ever wants to hear mine
Sometimes it's like I don't exist
I'm number one on everyone's most hated list
Tearing me down is something no one can resist
You don't know
What it's like to sink so far below
The truth is there
I just need someone to show me where
I need someone to lead me there
There was time when I knew love
But I can't remember when it was
No I can't remember when it was
I couldn't have been born this way
It's been building up day after day
A little bit of pain can go a long way
You don't know
What it's like to sink so far below
The truth is there
I just need someone to show me where
I need someone to lead me there
***
Pt. IV - Judge
This is the story of a guy named Sid
Who lost his heart when he was just a kid
Don't judge him on the things that he did
This is the story of a guy named Sid
Just how far will any one man go
Can you turn back at the end of the road
Feel the shock as your reality grows
Just how far will any one man go
***
Pt. V - Sid's Boy Choir
I was born and then I rose
It came to me and then I froze
I lost my voice I couldn't see
I felt the sweat pour out of me
The limelight dimmed and turn me in
All my deeds turned to sin
The flesh upon my skin began to crawl
***
Pt. VI - Change
I can't help the way that I am
Cause it was you that made me
You never offered to lend a hand
So I did it for myself
I did it for myself
I know there's something missing
Got to find a way to make it happen
It's been such a long long time
Got to find a way to clean up my mind
It's time to change my story
The leaves on my tree have withered and died
A long long time ago
But the tree is not dead the voice in my head says
I've a long long way to go
Whether for you and whether for me
All is not lost if I can let it be
All is not lost if I can let it be
All is not lost
It's time to change my story
(If you find a way you can save the day)
To get back my moment of glory
(Jump into the fire and burn away)
Everybody can you feel my madness?
(there is nothing left for you to say)
Take it all in and shout it to the masses
It's all right!

I dreamed a journey
And left to begin it
I opened my mind
But I fell deep down in it
Lost at the crossroads of two worlds
Watching the future unwind
I was blind to a truth I
Always knew
CARRY ON
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
So I kept searching for
Someone to find me
I tried to define
What was always denied me
Traveling mazes of mirrors
Searching for one perfect sign
I was a miner for fools gold
Though I knew
You have to
CARRY ON
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
When the current drags you down
There's a way up to be found
CARRY ON
Through the days and through the nights
CARRY ON
Though you might
Feel your burden drag you down
There's a way up to be found
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
When the current drags you down
There's a way up to be found
I dreamed a journey
And left to begin it
I opened my mind
But I fell deep down in it

Take a giant leap
Off the only ledge you know
Kiss the ground above your head
Surf the blue sky down below
Taste the air that's burning sweet
With all the words you can't take back
Eighteen orchids at your feet
So ride the one that leads the pack
You're a grifter off his game
In a town with many names
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
Play it safe and sterile
Staying on the well-worn path
Praying that your ferile friends
Never find the strength to laugh
They lead you through the shadows
Where you live beyond your means
Not a whim is sanitized
When you give into your dreams
Or so it seems
Yes it really seems a shame
That your're gonna have to take the blame
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
So you sift down all your thoughts
Like fine dust through a cloth
But there's no way out my friend
Cause the law of nature's one that you can't bend
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
