Illusion-O 04:59
Cats inside walls So hard to see Cats inside walls So hard to see Their eyes are made of what they have seen I can’t see what’s right in front of me Right in front of me Transmuted souls So hard to see Hearts beating slow So hard to hear Still haven’t found a drug that works for me I can’t see what’s right in front of me Right in front of me Right in front of me Illusion-O How did life become so cold? Illusion-O How did I become so bored? Lost at sea

Glorify-me 03:30
Silence to mourn A star was not born Won’t you make way For glory and fate? I’m sorry I’m old And so tired of hope I can’t cease the day No time for today By design Every second is a waste of time And high hopes You think I’m so Delusional One day you’ll know you have always been wrong Is it too late to be myself? Dead albatross hits the ground Another empty shell Glorify-me In your presence By the blood red sea Resignedly waiting It’s my throne what I claim Renounce it for me Raised above shallow graves Resign and retreat Delphi dead wrong A covenant you broke My summer’s play My calling is belated Should Saturn return And devour his son? The burden of grace For public display By design Every second is a waste of time And high hopes You think I’m so Delusional Always relying on the kindness of ghosts Is it too late to be myself? I want a better world But not for every one Chorus Let me be what I will be Unbury me, enlighten me Respect me for what I am about to become Three wasted wishes Co-star bereavement Rejected gold Forever unknown

Fay Wray 04:12
Crazed starlet, learn your part Through my veins straight to your heart The world is such an abyss now But I won’t let you fall apart She screams and shouts again Stolen soul, brain wave disaster Just can’t shy away From such a wrong way to heaven I have to save Fay Wray now In this asylum, all is well 'Cause you’re the one that I can help They won’t be given access to your padded cell You’ll be famous to me and nobody else Beauty out of frame Stolen soul, brain wave disaster Just can’t shy away From such a wrong way to heaven I have to save Fay Wray now

Thousands of windows close And darkness wins I won’t be a witness Because I’m going to close my eyes I’d better refrain from having fun and fall Into the hands of heavenly angels and vanish along with all those splendid days That won’t come back Thousands of windows close And darkness wins Bats and seagulls Flying side by side Every night We come home And pretend the world Is not the place For disheartening Souls Thousands of windows close And darkness wins

Should I get rid of your love Baby, baby With knife or a gun? Baby, baby Should I say something first? Baby, baby Or should I listen to your last words? Oh, I hope you’ll Take this like a man You’ve got the right To fall and crawl Should I get rid of your soul Baby, baby With a smile or a somber look? Baby, Baby Should I forget what you’ve done Baby, Baby And let a bleeder dishonor me so much? Baby, Baby Oh, I hope you’ll take This like a man You’ve got the right To cry and fall I hope you’ll take This like a man Tonight you’re mine I’m right and you’re wrong Oh, my darling Goodbye, farewell Words can’t stop me now Pray there’s somebody Pray there’s somebody Who will know who you are Oh, I hope you’ll Take this like a man You’ve got the right To cry and fall I hope you’ll take This like a man Tonight you’re mine I’m right and you’re wrong Oh, my darling Goodbye, farewell Words can’t stop me now Pray there’s somebody Pray there’s somebody Who will know you’re gone

She’s ascending She's ascending with a smile Feels a presence A resounding angels choir Here they come They can see what’s on your mind In this chapel All the shadows left behind You Were Loved Hear me, Alice We’ve been waiting for a sign Now descending Electricity in your heart Life goes on Just embrace what lies in store All is sadness But your sadness is uncaused You Were Loved You’re mine Your soul is mine
7.
So good for the world And so bad for me Don’t tell me you know What is best for me The lowest common Anonymous denominator Bored human-like demonstrators Supporting grand old smiling dictators Mirrors online May the natural selection begin Listen to the flowers burning Listen to the rifles loading Listen to the shadows crawling Listen to the lemmings falling Raise the death toll 8 billion bastards running Destitute of shame and fortune Resolute to fake and forget Desperate for disgrace and glory Destined to be enslaved and sorry Same drugs, same thoughts 8 billion bastards swarming Unrequited love For mankind within You don’t tell me I’m wrong You don’t lie to me I’ll guide all the asteroids towards this planet I’d lead the big black stork to all nations This world is nothing without decemation Mirrors online May the natural selection begin Sometimes I feel compassion For the creator of all truth Scream with me, your highness Life like all life: doomed

Just say yes to her drugs and They’ll close their eyes so that you can smile High speed train, all doors open Here we are Under the effect of blood Open your arms Lower your guard Let the sky in Windows cracking You Can always feel Something else You’re the passer-by Just count the Suns in the Sky And let the wind take the lead Be someone else Someone you are not Follow your bliss Up to the abyss Secret battles, hidden castles, walls are ready to fall Your body is changing your soul Your thoughts are under control Life’s the nearest death experience That you’ll ever have Your body is changing your soul Your thoughts now under control Live transmissions from the past, your future is falling apart Your body changing your soul Thoughts are under control There’s a prison inside the prisoner but there’s time after life tonight Sleep persuasion, the dream amnesia We’re in control, we’re the soul uploaders at night Be transformed by the renewal of your mind, we’re the puppeteers Weaving all of your morning thoughts Climb the ladders we show Hide the diamonds we stole Learn the dharmas we know Catch the knives that we throw Fight the demons we owe Kill the flowers we grow Witchcraft in space, the session is done If you wanna feel your pain If you wanna play your part If you wanna bleed again If you wanna see your scars Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes and come alive And please remember on your way out there’s more to life than the hardships the anger the mourning the anguish the waiting the longing the sadness the darkness there’s more to life Open your arms Lower your guard Let the sky in Windows cracking There’s no end in sight No way to escape Don’t let me awake to make the same mistakes

Body For 2 03:59
This must be a sad occasion Because everyone I love is here They stare in desperation Is his past inside of me? Been sleeping all the time Headaches all day long A victim with no crime Forgetting every word Any God would have long intervened Would you mind Being quiet for a while So I can hear myself? Would you smile And deny that life is not as we had planned? Would you be as kind as to try Not to cry for all the help I want? Didn’t know so many things could Be destroyed inside of me Now everyone is a stillborn What was I going to think next? Neurons in the dark Dead end for your blood Vessels explode Brain to hell first And my mind is boring me Chorus
10.
She’s one of them (4x) When she was young and hopeless Stars aligned for the surrogates She claims her mind got filled up with voices And prayers from the outer space Trapped demons, lost composure A lion mask for the vulture-faced She said she wants this world to explode Just so God could be left to himself She’s One of Them (8x)
11.
I know it’s their turn to be the young It’s now their turn to be in love All life is cursed and then bestowed Destined to be once beautiful There ain’t no master plan Oh, where are you, Adonai? Aloof and a thousand miles Apart from my over-soul Apart from my over-soul I know I’ve been blessed for just too long My time has passed, my moment is gone Another day might be enough To wreck a lifetime of good luck There ain’t no master plan Oh, where are you, Adonai? Aloof and a thousand miles Apart from my over-soul Apart from my over-soul There will be no other world There will be no other start There will be no one to hold There will be no one to love There will be no other Earth There will be no other start There will be no other love There will be no other life Nothing ever lasts forever
12.
Back into her arms the roses for the dead Buried deep inside this land with everyone We can hear the soldiers plunder all the same Cells in veins conspire and we hope it won’t be long Just Like That Dandelions find their way back to the Sun
13.
YHWH 03:27
One day the saddest day The saddest day will come When no one’s left to love And a stranger is everyone A Moon without its phase Abandoned Sun in space Smile three times a day And they will never know You’re sad and disgraced Silence and pain Wishing good memories would go away In a sad world only sadness finds the truth And I am the one who can cry over this God at a glance and We are scared at the view This only happens to those Who wait (Yah Vey) Starve and pray Fall and praise Sob and say Amen If you won’t love what you’ve made If you can’t show me your name A threnody is sung for the sake Of all those that you will forsake
