The sun goes down and the writing on the wall reveals itself
The etchings slowly start to take a form all too familiar.
So we drink. So we drink to place ourselves above all else.
Not knowing that our choices bring to us the night, unending.
Sobered up, I begin to comprehend where we went wrong
Feeling fear accompanied by hope to see the morning come.
Stomped away, any piece that might convey one’s self is gone
Forever waiting for the sun to rise, our greatest loss.
Oh the more I know I fear you.
Searching for a breakthrough
To guide us through this night.
Oh these secrets beckon sweetly
Carried by our misdeeds.
Yearning for your insight.
All this time, a deliverance is all that we have sought
Praying for a blessing that the world is never sending
Suddenly, there’s an answer from the most unlikely mind
I will embrace insanity and conquer all your kind
Convictions are abandoned
And the romance, lost.
All eyes are the connection
Where all paths cross
Oh the more I know I fear you.
Searching for a breakthrough
To guide us through this night.
Oh these secrets beckon sweetly
Carried by obsession, woken by the moonlight’s draw.
Eyes wide open revealing unto me the true nature of the world
It’s beauty and it’s horrors
I’ve awoken.
I rise above the beasts and walk among the gods
Seal broken, steady drunk
Convictions are abandoned
And the romance, lost.
Through my intoxication
I have become a god.
Oh the more you know you fear me
Great ones lost to history
Now I control the night
How the secrets beckoned sweetly
I embraced obsession, woken by the moonlights draw
You’re in my thrall

Taciturnity
04:53

Do you think about the worth of our planet?
Do you contribute to the market of ideas?
You can speak and you can hold interactions
So how does that fit into daily conversations and patterns
As you walk among the strangers around you
And listen to their voices echo in your ears
You hear words without a logical passage.
Are lies and deceit reasons for all of the misinformation?
Set your mind at ease
From this world and its violent opinions
Seeking silence, seeking peace
Choosing taciturnity.
So do you believe that you are well suited
To participate and voice these ideas
Indoctrination altering; the words are so diluted.
Priming the culture without giving a single solution.
Yet we reprimand the voice of division
At any cost we curb your knowledge with the fear
With the fear of complication and obstruction
Revising the text and the speech; taking hold.
Set your mind at ease
From this world and its violent opinions
Seeking silence. Seeking peace.
Choosing taciturnity.
Set your mind at ease
Set your mind at ease
Set your mind at ease
Set your mind at ease
Living bound by the words,
Carried by breath and oath,
A wilful misinterpretation of their meaning
So you become absorbed
By what you think you know
...a step away from everything I’ve never wanted…
Living bound by the words,
Carried by breath and oath,
A wilful misinterpretation of their meaning
So you become absorbed
By what you think you know
...a step away from everything I’ve never wanted…
...just one step away...
Set your mind at ease
From this world and its violent opinions
Choked to silence. Restless peace.
Forced to taciturnity
Set your mind at ease
Set your mind at ease
Set your mind at ease
Set your mind at ease

Synchronicity I

With one breath
With one flow
You will know
Synchronicity
A sleep trance
A dream dance
A shared romance
Synchronicity
A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Nothing is invincible
If we share this nightmare
We can dream
Spiritus mundi
If you act as you think
The missing link
Synchronicity
A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Nothing is invincible
We know you
They know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity
A star fall
A phone call
It joins all
Synchronicity
A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Nothing is invincible
It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity
Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws
Scientific pause
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity

Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away
Something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark
Scottish lake
Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the balls
Many miles away
Something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch
Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away
There's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
