I think you know why I'm here
I think I'm falling in love with fear
This is a moment of blind and sincere fascination
Before this emptiness can take us away
there is something that I wanted to say
I'm falling
I'm flying
The only reason to live cause we're dying
So heartless
This is a lesson of love
I just want you to know what I'm dreaming of
This is the trap that we laid
This is the weight of the promise we made
in this moment of lost and dismayed revelation

Dreams of You
03:21
|

|
We're all lost at the edge of something.
We keep pretending, but we're feeling nothing
and where we're going makes a perfect waste of you - I knew
Dreams of you
Did you ever see me, feel me?
Would you leave me here forever?
We keep watch, but we're seeing nothing.
So blind to believe it's something.
And where we're going makes a perfect waste of me - you see.
Dream of me.
Did I ever see you, feel you?
How could I leave you here forever?

Cold Lights

The wrong place at the right time,
with blind faith and false pride
Blood lips and black eyes
A face of fire.
Since I first met you, all those words I confess to.
Since I first met you. this small world hasn't got room
Lost days, bright nights.
Bad trips and joyrides.
She burns in cold lights.
A face of fire.
This time, I'll forgive you.
So many lies to live up to.
Those eyes cut straight through.
Feels so right when I let you.

Stars and Satellites

I wished I could realign all those words that had been said.
Feels like another life.
Time is only a concept.
This is always our intent.
True resurrection.
Time - There is nothing to believe in.
All lovers discard their form.
I gave over on this night, under wishful eyes.
Stars and satellites.
Tried to tear at the defect.
Never grace in the ascent.
True resurrection.

One More Time
04:33
|

|
All I have is all I owe.
A fortune of envy.
All I have is all I sow.
A lifetime of ending.
The only cost I pay is living in this prison of myself.
All the words I say to feel this one more time.
All I have is all I miss.
Forever repenting.
All I am is all I give.
A handful of of emptiness.
Straight down the right side of the wrong way round the circle, I'll find the bright side of this unforgiving night one more time.
Whatever cost, I'll pay.
Whatever loss I'll take.
Whatever words I'll say to feel this one more time.

Like Fear, Like Love
04:24
|

|
Under the glass where we're locked away,
You will find a shadow bleeding
And if you listen, you will hear it say
"when did our hearts stop beating?"
Fear of dreams to cruel to say
I am death when you look away.
Don't leave, cause I can't do it without you.
I don't want to live this way forever.
I don't want to pull this back together.
I'm watching every step we take.
I know it's going to end this way.
It's not a state of mind, it's now or never.
No choice but what we choose.
Giving in to shallow needin.
Bite your tongue, or speak too soon.
What we wanted has no meaning.
I'm trying to make the right mistake.
I could die when you look away.
Don't leave, cause I can't do it without you.
Maybe nothing goes right here like colours changing.
Nothing loves like there's no other.
Maybe nothing goes right here like colours changing.
Right here, like love.
Like fear, Like love.

Once Again
03:56

This unfamiliar reflection.
I feel the strangest affection.
Who could ever love you any more than I do now?
Have you forgotten?
I know we're both the same.
You know my name.
How can we ever let go?
I disappeared, and now you're here.
It's all that we know.
I'm talking to the ghost of who i knew.
I'm walking in the shadow left by you.
Every little piece that lives inside had broken and fallen down.
Once again, for you.
Over and over.
Wake up in a web of dependency.
Visions of my own worst enemy.
You could never see this any more than I do now, and that's what I'm caught in.
I know it's surrounding me
Inside of me.
How could I ever let go?
Just hold me close so no one knows what I've become.
If the only way is through, I'll tear myself in two.
Once again, for you.
Over and over.
I'm waiting here.
Hold my hand.
We'll stay till the morning comes.
We'll make this last.
We'll start again.
Over and over.

Precious Hearts
04:24
|

|
I held you back
I could not see
The material's damaged inside of me.
Cut these knots.
You are free.
It's all that I wanted you to be.
I'm running from all I adore.
It's really too much to endure.
Are we ready to unlock the door?
Is anyone?
Is anyone here anymore?
Is anyone real anymore?
They held us down.
They tried to take these precious hearts, too soft to break.
What we'll do and what we'll say.
We take it all to throw away.
What if we're not here anymore?
Is this a dream we endure?
Are we ready to unlock the door?
Is anyone?
If you can hear this, then talk to me.
If this is real, then I want to believe.

The End of All Stories
04:23
|

Watch what you say.
Don't waste your words upon wishes and soon-to-be-forgotten days.
Far beyond near, there will soon be here.
At the end of all stories
Through perfect eyes, truth is a perfect lie.
No joy in a perfect smile.
True as we try, souls bleeding out from inside.
All disappears.
Out time has burned like our bridges, and soon-to-be-forgotten years.
Far beyond fear, we'll be waiting here.
At the end of all stories.

When I was a rogue cop in the 80s who recently lost my badge and gun trying to avenge my wife. She was killed by The Cartel/Mob/Yakuza/etc... Driving out to the beach to watch the sunrise from a long muggy summer night of drinking and justice. This was the soundtrack to my life. Another classic album.

Literally from Go! the album is a must. Buy it, turn it on and just Go! about your day. The songs vary from style. One song sounds like Genesis game music then to another that plays like a joyous end credit of a classic movie. Listen to it you'll want to buy it.
