tesseract

Talking in my sleep, cursing through my teeth, sweating in the heat 
Stuck inside this dream of darkening frustration
Liars in my dream, I’m frightened and I’m weak, there’s nothing left for me
And the visions I endure are simply entertainment
Dark figures chasing me, I hear the wolf that cries, see them multiply
You’re ablaze behind the eyes; they burn into a memory
A sudden sense of hope, the virtue of my ghost, you’re another ugly host
And I can’t believe that you would just deny everything
I choose to live free
It took a second warning then I said goodbye
With tainted eyes I need to believe 
It took a little longer to sympathise
And you were hoping I would give in to you
I won't dance because you want me to
No romance; deep down I only want to be the same
Now there’s nowhere left to hide 
Game of chance; I roll the dice for you
Hopeless glance; deep down I only want to be the same
Now there’s nowhere left to hide 
The greatest thing you’ll ever learn 
Is just to love and be loved in return
I’m living such a life; therein lies your problem 
Imperfect, circular, entropy the fatal conclusion 
With a little sympathy it’ll burn inside, let the fires decide
Imperfect and circular
I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide 
And I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide 
And I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide 
And I won’t comfort you; no it won’t be the same
There’s nowhere left to hide

Dystopia

Is there something I should know
Of the colours that you show?
I remember those words
In the back of my mind
There is an old phantom
It isn’t a secret this mind’s shrouded in history 
It isn’t a secret this mind spirals in disarray 
It isn’t a secret this mind shudders in mystery 
It isn’t a secret I find terror in memory
Come close. Don’t be afraid. 
It’s stranger than you think
Desperately opiate, weary
Feverish host to us, teary eyed
History hexes us
History hexes us
Don’t look. Don’t think 
Don’t feel. Don’t move. Don’t breathe
Don’t make a sound. It lives. It breathes
In my conscious mind
(Rosebud don’t change)
It isn’t a secret this mind’s shrouded in history 
It isn’t a secret this mind spirals in disarray 
It isn’t a secret this mind shudders in mystery 
It isn’t a secret I find terror in memory
I live and breathe again
These gory locks, don’t you dare forget them 
Don’t you dare.
Don’t you dare.
History hexes us
I breathe again
History hexes us
I live again

Hexes Ft. Martin Grech

Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow?
Will I disappear?
Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow?
Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light?
Will I disappear with a memory of your sorrow?
Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light?
Ten years of hope have past
You felt alone and pictured life a little differently
And people say that life has just begun
You waited patiently, a lotus in the sun
You radiate for me in luminescent light 
And People say that life has just begun
When you’re not a part of me I feel dead inside
Disturbed; will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow
Until I can’t feel the light?
Disturbed; when I get the feeling I've been here before 
I’m the abandoner
Ten years of sorrow passed
No pleasure in the sun 
You couldn’t cope in all honesty
The secrets of the past will come undone
Seasons of change elapse
Honour no mistrust 
Faithfully until the day you die
And People say the journey’s just begun 
When you’re not a part of me I feel dead inside
Disturbed; will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow
Or will I fall?
Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before
Disturbed, will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow
Or will I fall?
Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before
I’m the abandoner

Survival

I’ll wait for you; run wild and aspire 
Thrive, burn young fire
When you say “fight back” our love won’t tire 
Unweathered and untethered light
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming
No time to sleep as I begin to weep
Life is fleeting
I tighten fast inside your tourniquet
Stop the bleeding
Your tenderness, your softened skin
All I needed
Your love is my tourniquet
Learn to rise, contain the pressure
This was supposed to be no miracle
Bow down because I’m under pressure once again 
I promise you, I promise you
Take my strength
I honour you with everything
Take my strength
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming?
The endless light you shine on me
All I needed

Tourniquet

Broken mirror on the wall, you give no reflection of me at all 
Your wicked ways I won’t understand, intoxicating weaker men
Rusting scissors in the draw pull me closer to a life no more 
Why am I so confused, unimpressed and unamused?
No, something’s not right. Open your arms to the sky. Focus the light 
It’s a combination of numbers, oh and a set of missing keys
I’ve been painting pictures but the colours disagree
And bad things come in threes
The wind is blowing, I am falling through a hurricane 
As buildings tear up from the ground 
No way of knowing where I’m going, circulating through the wildest night
Give into these sudden urges for more
Something’s not right. Open your arms to the sky. Focus the light 
I’ve been, I’ve been painting pictures
I can’t, I just can’t taste the freedom 
Stuck in a room full of voices, oh with nobody to be seen
I can sense the danger as the colours now agree
And the picture is obscene
The wind is blowing
I am falling through a hurricane as buildings tear up from the ground 
I can’t, I just can’t taste the freedom 
I’ve been, I’ve been painting pictures
Tempted and enticed, I neglected Eden
You know that I can’t, I just can’t (can’t) taste the freedom 
Give me forgiveness, total regression, remedy 
Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery 
Total division, given destruction, synergy
Double the vision now 
Give me devotion, total remission, remedy 
Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery 
Total division, given destruction, synergy
Give me devotion now 
Give me forgiveness, total regression, remedy 
Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery 
Total division, given destruction, synergy
Double the vision, how?

Utopia

You exist and you’re a friend of mine
Will we ever live in harmony?
You’re alive; it’s not the end of the line 
Will we ever learn? 
Cynical; the generations were abandoned here
No life is ever fair
When the mechanical fires are raging
The revolution’s here
I can breathe again. I choose to never let go or lose control 
See through the sights of a rifle
Live through the eyes of a child
Walk through the mind of a minor to extol
I must change because I’ve been chasing shadows 
Change. Immersed in the night, desperate and taken 
Change. Run with the pride of a lion
You exist and you’re a friend of mine
Will we ever live in harmony?
You’re alive; it’s not the end of the line 
I’m a failure; I’m the wreckage in the storm
I’m enlightened; unafraid I am reborn
Cynical; the generations were abandoned here
No life is ever fair
When the mechanical fires are raging
The revolution’s here

Phoenix

No little secrets left to compare
No feelings left for me to dare
No worries left for me to despair, only emptiness
Enticed by the familiar candlelight I see swaying up ahead 
You ask, “Was it all for nothing, do you trust in me…are you special?” 
You're the menace of the night, inquisitive to my request 
And I ask, “Do you have discretion, assiduity, freedom?” 
I knew that it was wrong to believe I was letting go
I can’t deal with the vice below
And I knew that it was wrong; I denied you all along 
You dissipate while I became an isolated fool 
I am the prisoner     
You disappear while I’m left here stuck in isolation
This is abandoned love
You dissipate. I’m full of hate without a hope and vision 
To disappear into a cage of solitude: this is abandoned love 
You dissipate without a hope and vision
You are the prisoner 
You disappear into isolation 
Build your cages.
Cage of solitude. 
Build you cages.
Cage of solitude.

Cages

Here I can breathe again 
I left it all behind to watch the days go by
Now I can breathe again 
I choose to never let go
So take your time, concentrate
Know the clock is ticking - don’t be late
Stand your ground, do your worst
Fragile frame, minor world
Take your time, prove your worth 
Don’t look behind, you’ll make it worse 
Why won’t you forgive me?
I was so alone, soaking to the bone
How could you forgive me?
Was I pitiful, unforgivable?
Unholiest, irreverent, immoral son. 
Ungodly one
