The full story
03:39

I'm watching you move
I'm watching your body language
and I don't like what it's saying to me
I don't want to intrude
but behind your back there's a different light to see
Everyone's talking
Everyone's bitching
about all the things you say
and everyone's walking
at a safe distance away
Chorus:
You need my help
but all you want is to make me bitter
It's not a game
You joke but you don't know the full story
I've seen this before
you start off with a multitude
and end up with no one but me
All because you want more
but behind your back there's a different light to see
There's a feeling inside
I cannot explain myself
but you wouldn't listen anyway
When two people collide
Why don't their thoughts coincide
Away

Mental song

Nothing
No more waiting
The time has arrived for me
to convert myself
into reality
Something
I hoped something would give
Or someone would take me home
But now I don't know
Where I'm supposed to belong
Bridge:
And now I can't go wrong
I sit and count the songs
That you have created through your mind
And I'm supposed to forget
or even be thankful
but it hasn't happened yet
Chorus:
You can waste my time
You can make my rhymes
But you can't change my mind
You can leave, diffuse
Leave my soul confused
But you can't change my mind
When I watch you with care
You cannot see me there
Sometimes
I'm not even close
But I can follow you

Seeing the truth
Is always tempting complications
Telling the truth
I wish for no hesitations
What do I do
when all I seem to get is negative?
What can you do?
I need someone to show me how it's done
Bridge:
The transition's on
I am not the one
Do you feel something
When they call my name
And can you decide
what you want to hide
Show me how you see
For I want to perceive
Chorus:
I hear your radio
And I want to know
Connect yourself to me
I see your video
But you say no
Connect yourself to me
I plan my life
Ahead of you
I make predictions now
I need to foresee
Ambiguity
She feels it's necessary

Coded light
04:13
|
|||
Watching across the water
The travelator to dry land
Following fluorescent trails
of a kind of motion
silver hands through the coded light
see the light
Continuing
My body is resolving
The dusk is clear to me but
the air must bee dissolving
The integral of what should be
Has just appeared in front of me
Moving through caves of progressive waves
He claims to me that he's the coded light
see the light
I will return
Someday I will return
Translucent memories I can't recall
So I must return
The face, the shape, the scene
Shattered windows of normality
A fading click track of yesterday
Tranquillity
I'm still blinded by the coded light
see the light
the fading light
the dying light
I have returned
My home is here
The distant memories have been restored
I have returned

Minority
05:41
|

In a never ending maze
Find the bridge to a different phase
My pulse has doubled and my mind is troubled
But safe in my jacket from the haze
Is this the future we designed for us
Or a tube that we're trapped inside
If we could get out there's hope for us
Because we're cloned so we can't die
My father left a paper scroll to me
Of the world with an outside infinite
Now thermo-controlled glass pudding bowls
With polythene grass and sponsored light
Leaving the shadow of my former self
We meet on the fourteenth floor
And head for the exit that we heard about
Posing as tube inspectors
We're alone
for now
Minority
On the corner
I fell into your gaze
A wondrous story
Of life without space
I once dreamt of what I see at last
An audiologue of all that is past
The white tiled tubes are now fields of green
The glass towers have turned to trees
Cylinders shiny once echoing noise
The only sound you hear is the breeze
We're alone
for now

The story of my life
05:06
|
|||
I am not the one
You think I am afraid
But I am not afraid
For all these things I can live through
How hard you tried
When it was so futile
I know you couldn't reach the top
But it isn't over yet
And although everything
has a bearing on your life
It could all just stop
but would that be enough for you
Chorus:
Tell me if it's too much to ask of you
But I'm changing
We're moving
I've started rearranging
Sometimes it's too hard
To wake up in time
You couldn't see much sense in it
And now you can't forget
She'll be staying in tonight
I could have been the one
But now it's all too late
and she can't ever love for me
Chorus
She can't find the time for me
And her face I'll never see
when our lives are torn apart
I wish I'd known it from the start

Voice box

I want to talk
I want to be heard
But no one is listening
And no one seems to care
I try to speak
But there's no point in trying
Because no one is listening
There's nothing to compare
But now the conversation's turned
I feel that I can talk
But I've no words to take my share
It seems so unfair
Can I have everyone's attention?
And though it seems unfair right now
I haven't had my share

All you want (is)
04:55
|
|||
It's a fact
And we can't turn away
From that
And now
You watch me every day
Chorus:
And there are better ways
To while away your time
I stand and look away
when all you want (is)
Me to say
I think that it's OK
I choose to agree
Though it's all down to fate
And I may regret
The chances I have passed
To say what I
Have left until the last
You make your move
Or leave me in the cold
I can't go first
From what I know of old
Chorus

In a space
06:20
|
|||
Taken by surprise
I never knew that
Take my advice
Listen to me
I don't want our lives to waste away
Without you hearing what I've got to say
You are to me
A feint remembrance
But now I want to be
Within your resemblance
I want you to understand my mind
But I wish I'd known what I could find
I want you in a space
Where I can hold you
Look through your face
To what's inside you
I don't want our lives to waste away
Without you hearing what I've got to say
I want you to understand my mind
But I wish I'd known what I could find

Burn
04:34
|
|||
You scared me with your words
If only I could hear them now
Unsure of your caress
And now it's turned to nothingness
I sit and stare like you're not there
And when you smile it seems unfair
So you have left your love behind
Why don't you take a walk around my mind
I should have read my stars
But I couldn't see that far ahead
The memories fade and die
I should have asked the question why
I sit and stare like you're not there
And when you smile it seems unfair
So you have left your love behind
Why don't you take a walk around my mind
So you have left your love to burn
I only wish it would return.

Need some time
05:22
|
|||
I thought you'd understand
But it didn't go as planned
And now you're standing next to me
I don't know where I'm supposed to be
I need some time
I couldn't make things right
(I never could decide)
And now there is no light
(And nowhere left to hide)
People always let things go
There is so much that you don't know
I need some time
You found you couldn't take enough
So you decide to break enough
To get even with my peer
Are you too blind to question it
Or cannot bear to answer it
Or is it just that you don't care
For now it seems to pass you by
You didn't weep, you didn't cry
Can't you understand this time
I couldn't help but fail again
I turn my back and count to ten
But you just won't leave my mind.

I knew it all
03:59
|
|||
I knew it all
I knew where I would go
But it was true
The things you said to me
And now I know
Everything I want
Everything I need
is waiting for me here
Oh can you help me please?
Chorus
Once there was a time
I could have run from here
I had no fear
But it's nice to be back home
Where I can reminisce
What have I missed?
The things I lost
I learned to live without
though everyday
I hadn't thought it out
and now I know
Everything I've loved
was always waiting here
Chorus
And this is the only time
I've felt I belong
I'll never go far away for long
I'll tell no lies
I'll never stay away
Because now I want
To live without regret
Chorus
