Persistent fantasy
03:52
|

I've got a persistent fantasy of you
The sky is grey but your eyes are mellow blue
You want it all and I want to give it to
My love
You bring the night and I want to spend the day
I look at you and I know we'll find a way
To make it easy to find the words to say
My love
You're
One in a billion and you're
All I can see
You're
The only man to match my
Persistent fantasy
I've got a persistent fantasy right here
You're far away but my love can draw you near
And cause the distance and time to disappear
My love
I've gotta get it all out because I feel
We are the only ones to make it real
We dive right in and there's nothing to conceal
My love
I am so lucky that you're
Right here with me
You're
The only man to match my
Persistent fantasy

I
Met your eyes just the once
I
Haven't seen your face in months
You
Said you'd see me around
Then
The world came crashing down
And the world came crashing down

Dopamine
04:04
|
|||
Where are you?
I want you!
I need you now
I'm not scared
I'm prepared
To receive you now
I feel it flush
I feel a sudden rush
A pleasure unforeseen
Blood in my ears
Not quite what it appears
A flood of dopamine
Dopamine
I've stayed strong
For so long
This is like a dream
Just one touch
Does so much
When you're in my bloodstream
I need the carriers
Through blood-brain barriers
Send signals unseen
My mind is crushed
I can feel it rush
That flood of dopamine
Dopamine
I want you
I need you
I want you
I need you
I want you
I need you
I want you
I need you

The demon is watching
03:27
|
|||
All around the night-time vista
Talking in hushed tones
About something so sinister
Something in homes
We all want salvation
From that which lingers in our hearts
We need illumination
When things become so dark
The demon is watching
The demon is watching
The demon is watching
Us all
Holy scripture needs refining
In this day and age
Parameters require defining
To free us from this cage
'cause we're never satisfied
With anything at all
Things are never black-and-white
This is our downfall

The good fight
05:00
|
|||
A frisson passes
Right in between us
I see a smile creep
Across your lips
Then disagreement
Passes between us
I see you standing
Your hands on hips
Unsatisfied
Undignified
I want to make it all right
We're unified
Our hands untied
We keep the future inside
I've searched my whole life just to find you
You bring the moon into the night
Sometimes it's hard and we must argue
We're always fighting the good fight
We reach a point where
Right in between us
There is a problem
That can't be fixed
We are a team now
And so between us
We try so hard though
Results are mixed
We've got it all:
Pride and a fall
We want to make it all right
Don't drop the ball
Stand and recall
We keep the future in sight

Battered and bruised
04:14
|
|||
Battered and bruised tonight
Blood dripping down my shirt
And refuse to fight
So I'm the one who gets most hurt
One big apology
Nobody takes my side
Social pathology
All the things I can't abide
These situations often get confused
So, how come I'm the only one who gets battered and bruised?
Battered and bruised again
Why is it always me?
I sorely need a friend
But not one that's with me through pity
If you want my advice
Don't let them in too close
Be safe, try to think twice
Deepest betrayal hurts the most
With time I'll get used to getting used
Reach out and touch the lies or get it all refused

Another way
04:45
|
|||
You wanted so much for there to be another way
But you can't make it through the day
You made it so far only to be pipped at the post
And now you live life like a ghost
Feeling lost in this nightmare
Count the cost and then find another way
There's got to be
Another way
You just need to find it
You'll live to fight
Another day
I promise you
I know that sometimes it can seem a hopeless cause
But slow it right down to a pause
You need to reboot, simply start over again
And there's no shame doing when
You're feeling lost in this nightmare
Count the cost and then find another way

Indigo child
03:18
|
|||
I sit here blinking
Do you know what I'm thinking
Are you in tune with me?
Is this your ESP?
Extra-sensory perception
Or is it deception?
Gullible family?
Or just ADHD?
You seem so strange
You seem so wild
Indigo child
You seem to have
Your innocence defiled
Indigo child
I don't know if you're truly
Mystical or unruly
I disagree with them
Bring out the DSM
Get a diagnosis
For this psychosis
You'll spend your life depressed
Unless you get NHSed
It's all a great
Mystery
Indigo child
Could you live life
As well as me?
Indigo child

Electricity
04:12
|

I'm losing my mind
I'm taking my time
I'm feeling sublime
I feel it inside
Electricity

Mechanical nightmare
03:55
|
|||
We came from the future
To unhinge the past
There's no way to stop us:
Processor's too fast
You should have listened to Orwell and HG Wells
We now live in dystopia
Just like the story tells
It's a mechanical
It's a mechanical
It's a mechanical nightmare
It's a mechanical
It's a mechanical
It's a mechanical nightmare
We came from the future
Insidiously
Technology adopted
So voraciously
You all wanted the latest, the up-to-date
The moment you clicked accept
You accepted your fate
It's all academic now
You're all history
This is not an invasion
It's a victory

Mythology
03:43
|
|||
I see the stories of my life laid out
I see the episodes of time play out
I know I can't make an apology
Because it's all in my mythology
Mythology
Mythology
Mythology
Now, looking back, I know I've made mistakes
I've lied to loved ones and been true with fakes
The low points litter my chronology
But it's all part of my mythology
If we're looking back, we're not moving forward
Don't fall in that trap because you think it's real
You've gotta make up your mind and take affirmative action
And then you might find you get a better deal

Rain
03:58
|
|||
Just like the days before
The rain came down
Bringing such a flood that
I thought I'd drown
There's been no intermission
Can't stay afloat
I'm gonna need to bult a
A bigger boat
But when I lie down at night
I hear the rain fall outside
That's when I think that I might
Be in for something of a ride
I love the sound of the rain, now
It is the sound of my heart
If we both listen to the rain, now
We're never really apart
There's been another deluge
Inside my mind
And it's so full of flotsam
I'm rendered blind
I need to make more sense of
These things within
And if left uncontrolled
I will never win
