Ah! Last night baby, please I couldn’t take no more You wrote your number on a rice cake piece And headed out the door The hands of time, they held me fast And I cried at every tick Outside I ate that carbohydrate And I was very sick Well hello, you’re here Hey you and how are there? Hope you got yourself some cheer From the boy who didn’t care Yes hello, you, you’re my new dearest darling Where the hell’d you put your car? We’ll drive along, I’ll sing a song While you mime on how you are Well after that charade I stumbled to and fro It rained so heavy on my parade that I had nowhere to go In a hotel nook, I fixed a look of disdain upon myself I threw a pen upon a page to assess my state of health Get in line, you’re alive And you want a piece of me Pretend you understand this vibe And baby ain’t that sweet to see? Eleven down, one more to go And that day I’ll be a man Till then I’ll take good care do a minimum, bare Say I do all that I can Too right you’re welcome to the show I’ve been thinking for a while now and it’s Time for us to go on and Question cruel intention if the end is truly nigh But I proclaim just as a jester claims But I wear a suit and tie Well come on, you’re late for me But you’re still my only kin I’ll show you my capacity for love and hate within Or am I wrong, are you the fool and am I your only friend? Come dance along and play it cool Now the world’s got a new end

Mrs Narcissus Perfect in your face and in complexion A heart as cold as ice with no affection Just yourself And so surreal, how does it feel Seeing Echo fade thinner in the meadow-glade Glimmering your sex appeal And oh, Medusa A beauty before the snake hair had infused her And how wrong the Sea King was to try to use ya Oh my word And so absurd was Parthenos’ wrath and All was lost before the aulos could be heard Ain’t it strange? Is it just a twist of fate To have the pride before the rise and fall of ego in excess? Wonder why it takes such strength to look behind The facade you make, see how it breaks And does it make you less? Getting stuck in your perceptions baby And nobody’s free from deception, save me The parts of you that’s human truth to Make it our love-letter The gods we make are just as flawed It's odd to stake a place in what’s impermanent But it’s our ascension, and we’ll just have to be better Won't we? Oh Arachne The weaver angered Athena, that was that Gee, to contest the goddess, not the smartest move exactly But what would I know? For perfect artistry was plain to see Within your great threads, She gave you eight legs To spin for eternity And oh, Pandora The Lord of the Forge caused the mortals to adore ya, And those suckers didn't know what was in store Ha! Just the worst For you were cursed to get the undesirable For the fire was stolen, and the box was set to burst Are we doomed? There doesn’t seem to be much room To set me free from a destiny that I cannot control Enjoy the ride, let’s just let the silk string of Fate decide Is it odd to see, self-fulfilled prophecy Like an oracle foretold? Getting stuck in our perceptions baby And nobody’s free from deception, save me The parts of you it’s human truth to Make it our love-letter The gods we make are just as flawed It's odd to stake a place in what’s impermanent But it’s our ascension, and we’ll just have to be better And so, kiss me goodnight, you’ll miss me tonight I'll be in my sleep And oh, blue water so clear, you oughtn’t go near I’ll be swimming deep High above the ground, You’ll watch me from a cold, cloud-covered keep And oh, reflection enticed My greatest vice, I was outta luck Kept getting stuck Getting stuck in our perceptions baby And nobody’s free from deception, (save me) The parts of you it’s human truth to Make it our love-letter The gods we make are just as flawed Is it odd to stake a place in what’s impermanent when it’s our redemption, and we’ll just have to be better Won't we?

Your crystal eyes glazed over in sweet surrender Boy you got your head in the clouds So sigh aloud. Notice: please return to sender No this just can't be Snap out of it A dreamer’s all you’ll ever be A cruel potential lies awaiting Soon forsaking you, old fool What am I to do? Feeling blue that you just won’t see, Uncertain truth, I’ll call you the Ideaman One day you’ll be gone Then what will you become unwritten song? I fear, man, some ways you’re too blind Letting everything perish in your mind And what’ll you add without action A superhuman subtraction Oh dear Where will you be next if love is all you had? Would it be so bad? Say you will, but you’re unsure Days stood still, only one more Truth. Got your doubt slipping out Get your head down make your Papa proud And count the lies you tell, ain't it saddening? Create an addiction, chase it til you’re through Insatiate till you fade away Situations seem to take you to the bleakest point of view Seek to break, forsake, the chain Ideaman One day you’ll be gone Then what will you become unwritten song? I fear, man, some ways you’re too blind Letting everything perish in your mind And what’ll you add without action A superhuman subtraction Oh dear Where will you be next when love is all you had? Would it be so bad? And I dont want to know the deranged reasoning And I’m not one to dote, but I've watched away the seasons Been: running, shunning, fun and, troubling And im afraid. I fear and I need a plan Ideaman I fear the sand Give me seven bucks an hour I’ll do everything in my power Make you feel more like a kid again Imagination is basically taking you away from New temptation used to make you bruised Now, what have you got to lose? And oh you worry inside? No surprise, what’s on your mind You can try and lie and hide to cry and die So unwise, you’re blindsided by the truth Uncertainty will make you move, forsooth I intend to prove it

Ghoulish mind Inside you’re all unclear How are you, my dear? I’m fine So won’t you let me go? Ghoulish chides Besides so full of fear Check the time as the signs draw near Alright, What will you let me show? Let me in your tender arms Be gently told That you’re not the one Set free, no You’d be a fool to shout ‘Let me go!’ Baby it’s all you know, It’s all I know for sure A ghoulish mind Inside you’re all unclear. How are you my dear? I’m fine, So don’t you let me go. Ghoulish chides, Besides so full of fear Set to sigh, not to dry your tears Alright There’s all too much to flow Set me in your tender heart A met regret, see all that you’ve done Oh it was never for this pain. Monstrous consumption Tearing away the things you loved to do Salvation was in front of you But now it’s a ghoul Within your brain A ghoulish mind Inside you’re all unclear How are you my dear? I’m fine So won’t you let me go? And ghoulish chides Besides so full of fear Check the time as your signs draw near Alright, what will you let me show? I was wrong to stay away Oh the words that hurt could never let me play I was dumb to come running back to you I was lost inside just Lost in a ghoulish mind How it crept in vaguely, And sleep won't save me tonight. And what awful luck To become all stuck in time. And it doesn’t belong, it doesn’t belong But it’s trying to follow. And it doesn’t belong, doesn’t belong But it’s trying to get you. Get you back to where you were, Lost inside A ghoulish mind.

A dark shroud of mist had folded over the land And the wind it blew, from a whisper That almost grew to a roar, and then A silence, as terrible, almost, As the scream that came before it Hellfire! The fires of hell burn bright through bloodstained sky As brimstone rains down over the weeping souls of humanity Their sins are fresh Is it in the human nature to accept itself? Beyond treasonous reason must rise a new freedom Allegiance peels from the sides - a rusting outer shell It’s just as well then, that war is war and hell is hell, bent Heaven-sent, a dwelling, that sighs In time, a chime, a toll, a knell Our prayers were wrong? – disguised A fear there’s no more saviours An old miserly war major tells tall tales of the days, Long gone, since the devil fell Hell’s bells And so, as the saying goes All good things must come to an end We’ve had a good run, you know And now there’s smiles, tears, Heartwarming laughter, despite it It’s hardly the first time you know A new world ending Is around the corner Always Always I mean, how could I describe it It was incredible, terrible Terrible, all of it I couldn't bear to have any of it Oh how could I describe it With one word it would be like Something else, something else You must understand Surely you understand It was like, It was like Hellfire

There’s a jealousy about you baby I can’t explain the hold on me The feeling undefined, the passion is like hellfire There’s a fury about you baby And I’m afraid of the strength it has If I can confide, there’s acid inside hellfire There’s a pantomime about you baby I’ll never know who you really are Sending me the kiss of ignorant bliss - hellfire And you let me know, you let me know I should go slow, so- Tell me one more time, I need you in my life That’s right it’s you, only you, please don’t go Free yourself, I want you When such behaviour’s so bad Free yourself, I want you To be yourself is untrue Identity you never had Relieve yourself beyond you State of mind, and all I had was my intent That was my intent Now to improve, I was ashamed All I could blame was you Still not a friend, waiting for a new world end See through those lies, in leopard’s eyes I crawled through the embers And prayed it would jeopardise all that wasn’t true Saw the phoenix rise Free yourself, I want you When such behaviour’s so bad Free yourself, I want you See Free yourself, I want you Lead on Free yourself, I want you

My dear the hearth’s gone out Rekindling’s long overdue But I do it to start it again Out of love, not out of pain I watched the roof when drops of rain slid off it The seasons changed, I never did Ain’t you heard that he’s been gone away too long He’ll never be coming home And she’s been home and stayed too long She’ll never be on her own Here and now, so sure of myself then I'm down and I'm out And I ask: have I outstayed my welcome? And you ask why I still linger, well The scorpion’s tail’s an awful thing to run from To cross this stream I’ll need some help So watch me be washed to the sea Through the stream past the wild doves Got feathers slipped in dreams, and sigh Oh! How my eyes are enlarged by the sky above So unsure, I was caught in a downpour away From your sunshiney days Now every freeze guarantees it hurts my darling Is that all I meant to you? Just start it again Darling, start it again When the love is gone then I just won’t stay for long Is it wrong to escape from the cost I wont pay? And so, let her go If I tried to escape that face I’d be done, I’d rather run and hide

What fresh hell did you find when you stumbled in blind to oblivion To escape from a fate that you thought worse than never being found Well now you’re stranded, with a strange machine That bleeps til it seeps into every waking dream To send out a message to everyone; anyone around And saying: Hello I’m sending a message From a frequency’s tear In a land of nowhere Oh, can you hear me? I said hello Signal’s fading in and out So if you hear this simple sound Send a message back around And I’d be grateful So I was stuck with a metal box within an empty canvas, no creation Freed from interference I was struck with a terrible quiet And so I lay about while I broadcast every shout “This is bliss I believe this is salvation!” So why do I draw close as speakers stutter in verbose fragments Say something, I’ll try to hear it Since you’ve been gone Communicators acting strangely Since you’ve been gone Been feeling so out of sorts lately But I was younger and so unsure I’m still unsure so tell me more There’s more to lend So won't you tell me one more time My distant friend, I’ll try again Hello I’m writing a message From a pale empty page From a spotlight on a stage And is it sending? I said hello Are you hearing what I say? Or is it only empty cheer For I fear it when the play won’t have an ending So please forgive this mean intrusion on your sacred time I was lying to myself if I thought I was the diamond in the rough I could say it was sublime, my delusional prime was all I had And driven mand by solitude, to hear something new would be enough My tender heart won’t take it anymore It was worse before, but I miss you still I miss you still, so bless and heal you Oh The saddest days set me free Til it means nothing to me Pity won't show, let me go So when no one returns to throw me a line I’ll stay sitting round, take the time to lay down The speaker stands by near I’ll bring it closer to my ear Resigning myself to an unknown life below ground When from the speaker head I hear a sound Hello I’m sending a message From between the lines of your world and mine Oh can you hear me I said hello Could you please respond to tell me Of the returned call that you lacked, You thought that no one called you back But I was trying Oh you’re not alone You’re so stuck in your self-obsessive ways That when I saw you there with your face full of despair That you weren’t crying Oh you’re not alone You think you’re so beyond loving days That you wouldn't even dare I could tell you no one cared But I’d be lying, I’d be lying You’re not alone I got no response So what’s taking you? Am I breaking down or am I breaking through?

She doesn’t love you anymore, for sure When she looks your way it’s fair to say Your heart starts playing games The times you had that came before, they’re no more Look her in the eyes for stars to cry: If your heart don’t break baby Maybe you’ll go insane I’m so glad to be, that it had to be you You watch the dewdrops start to dry, let out a sigh Out of sight you see your dear depart You’re free at last for tears to start again Your April showers came in July, I wonder why Rot the world apart, a broken rhyme To stem the flow won’t stop the time at all Gone from your spring to fall Those senseless ways that you were lost and found To find me Your endless days of infinite summer are gone away And where’d it go wrong for me? And where will you be tomorrow eve? Expectantly you’re set to See your path, I have to laugh and say “I’m afraid it’s all up to chance”, and so You’ll up and go to take your leave, look back at me A step, unsure, the faintest glance Cus you never were the greatest dancer, no But the way you’re going I’m sure you’ll steal the show You’re onto ceaseless sacred days, with tunes to play The heart contends, far from old friends Carpe diem, it’s easier said than done A sweet release could bring decay, too soon to say One last song will seem so wrong when the time has passed Where have you been and gone? Anxiously, to sleep, til the knell of the bell is rung Your senseless ways that you were lost and found to find me Your endless days of infinite summer are gone away Where do I go on from here? And I know it don’t make sense Baby, I’m your present tense I’m sticking around whenever you’re up and out Look and you’re found, you’re never up for doubt. Stuck in the crowd, ashamed, so let me know Just say what you want Oh, never was one for impeccable timing Stop and look on for the second aligning Open the door and be calm, gently grow You’re never alone, you know She doesn’t love you anymore, and that’s for sure Oh baby, cus holding on won’t save me no more The times you had that came before, they’re gone for good And so they should, it’s made you what you are You’ll go on far from here Joy from pain, the same is always near Intention feigned, but you were trussed and bound to find me Your endless days of infinite summer are gone And you’re here right now with me In your lost uncertain days If you’re torn in 7 ways I’ll be holding down the line From now until the end of time Now until the end of time

Concrete tidal waves and glass blades Is better than nothing Fumes to ride away and gas, babe You better be bluffing Put your life within the hands of the man who is Half-asleep at the helm And you’ll see why I’m feeling so whelmed By my woes and on what's for tea Those bicycles ice cream Wednesdays are out of your mind Bicycle ice cream Wednesdays, the peace that you’ll find There’s terror on two wheels! You know just how it feels As you've lost all control, let the gears go round again Peril on all sides, you’ll never run and hide It’s a matter of fact balancing act, keep it in your sight my friend I did all that had mattered and I’m doing all I can I got scared to the hare and mad hatter in Wonderland Does that make me half the man I used to be? Merci, eh oui baby, that’s me and that’s exactly all I had I was lost in so many fantasies and how I craved reward Maybe, sweetie, a creamy treat at the end is all I need Fudgesicles and taffy til I had my new philosophy: Imagine me happy Bicycle ice cream Wednesdays are out of your mind Out of your control Bicycle ice cream Wednesdays, the peace that you find Everywhere you roll I’ve severed all my fears, wise beyond my years And I’m pushing up now Pushing up now Untethered as I can, rock instead of sand But is it easy? It’s not easy When every day’s a strain, it’s dancing in the rain I’m the lunatic dope who gave my hope away Or at least that’s how I could behave when A treat is tame and old Until it’s all away from me Or do I end it all right here? Still, I climb in spite of it All gone, better days could never be here Bicycle ice cream Wednesdays are out of your mind

On reflection, I have seen the best intentions fade away Who’s to blame, can one idea remain forever I’m in the dark, I played the fool So very frightened by a ghoul of my own creation Say so long, up on the horizon I see the splendid beauty of the moon The perfect view to feast my eyes on And is it really over soon? No, one more, our encore Before a burning future can reside To wait for what’s in store Or will you run and hide? Be that as it may, When the world seems just a sneeze away from hellfire Well, I’ll be just fine One more hill to climb, merely a cycle And there’s more to come besides, I’ll meet you on the other side and say Hello old friend, it’s me again Where have you been, what have you seen? I’m so ashamed, the love delayed could never win I caused a row, you’re here and how It’s the only thing that matters to me now Cause if you’re cool then I’m cool too I promise I'll be there, promise I'll be there Promise I'll be there, promise I'll be there Promise I'll be there, promise I'll be here A new world ending starts again A new world ending A new world ending for you to see A new world ending, can it be? And is it wrong to wish to never carry on? And is it false to claim there’s always one more ending to the game? A new world ending starts again A new world ending, tell a friend A new world ending for you to see A new world ending, can it be What lies ahead Cause it never ends until you’re Gone
