Lyrics:

"A story for those by the wayside 
A dream left to chase for the lost 
The edge of the woods is the border 
From where none come back, once they've crossed 

The ghosts of the forest in summertime 
The spirits that wait by the wall 
The voiceless that long since ran out of time 
They wait for the whole world to fall"

The world fades to black as my eyes close 
For now paranoia will rest 
The ghosts of the forest in summertime 
Have come now to end my regrets

14 - Rob Chapman - Isoflurane

Lyrics:

Chasing the dream 
As it disappears into the eastern sun on the horizon, 

Running as fast as I can 
To catch up with my dying hope and young ambition, 

Never say never,, 
'Cos never can hear you 
And never is coming to punish your feelings, 

Running in place 
I've been chasing a fleeting dream 
Over the hills and beyond comprehension, 

I'm coming down! (x4) 

Climbing the walls, I am seeking the spirits 
That haunted my childhood , and shoved all this fear down my throat, 

Spiraling down from the high I'm familiar with, 
Boarding the catapult, ready to confront my ghosts 

Fury and anger directed mistakenly, 
Only now finding a method to channel this rage 

All of this time I have hurt, and hurt others, 
Now nothing but words occupying this folded old page 

I'm coming down! (x8)

Instrumental track. Transition between Artificial Death and Take Me Back.

11 - Rob Chapman - Side Effects (Better Than Life)

Lyrics:

Sagging raw emotions 
Carved a hole embedded in my cerebellum 
Guilt of all the wrongs I've done 
Is gnawing at me as I close my eyes 
Slowly I've observed the world 
Implode on itself, oh so deplorably 
My confidence has dissolved 
From corrosive paranoia through my lies 

Paranoia 
Paranoia 
Paranoia 
Paranoia eating all my dreams 

Walking through the streets alone 
I find it hard to crush the doubts that linger 
How could I do so much wrong? 
I can't forgive myself for what comes next... 
Society has shapen all the obstacles 
I haven't overcome yet 
And a voice inside my head seems to be screaming unto me:: 
Why do I try?' 

Paranoia 
Paranoia 
Paranoia 
Paranoia eating all my dreams

09 - Rob Chapman - Confidence   Paranoia Pt. 2

Lyrics:

	
"A story for those by the wayside 
A dream left to chase for the lost 
The edge of the woods is the border 
From where none come back, once they've crossed 

The ghosts of the forest in summertime 
The spirits that wait by the wall 
The voiceless that long since ran out of time 
They wait for the whole world to fall"

That story stuck with me through my younger days 
Now the dream has escaped from the lost 
I see soon we all will run out of time 
And none will come back once they've crossed.

08 - Rob Chapman - Over The Edge

Lyrics:

I never thought that that sleep could ever mean that much to me
I slept in late when I grew up because my dreams were my safety 
Now that I am older I find that I'm torn between two worlds 
When I'm asleep it's confidence, but when I'm awake it is 

Paranoia 
Paranoia 
Paranoia eating all my dreams 

How could I do wrong? 
I had it in me to do so much right 
But it's all behind me now 
I've hurt for so long 
I've emptied my capacity 
To forgive you for what you're gonna do 

How could I do wrong? / Paranoia (x2) 

I see it now, my dreams encumber mediocrity 
As it becomes the thread that envelopes my choices day to day 
Where did I go wrong? I look over my shoulder 
Every time I get this feeling, I expect to see you there 

Paranoia 
Paranoia 
Paranoia eating all my dreams 

How could I do wrong? 
I had it in me to do so much right 
But it's all behind me now 
I've hurt for so long 
I've emptied my capacity 
To forgive you for what you're gonna do

07 - Rob Chapman - Confidence   Paranoia Pt. 1

Lyrics:
Waking, sleeping 
Faking, sneaking 
Campfire stories make the night last longer 
Words so heavy 
Arbitrary 
Travel with me through my younger days 

Time is over 
Getting older 
But ghosts still travel back from time to time 
See them linger 
Trouble bringer 
Give to me what they cannot take back 

Rising, falling 
Heart is beating 
Mysteries I learn to understand 
Mind set, changing 
Rearranging 
Years go by, now poised to be a man 

Time is over 
Now I'm older 
But ghosts still travel back from time to time 
See their faces 
Hear their voices 
Take from me what I cannot get back

02 - Rob Chapman - Knotholes

Lyrics: A story for those by the wayside 
A dream left to chase for the lost 
The edge of the woods is the border 
From where none come back, once they've crossed 

The ghosts of the forest in summertime 
The spirits that wait by the wall 
The voiceless that long since ran out of time 
They wait for the whole world to fall
