InstrumentalMOMENTS PASSING BY
Oh you lonesome dreamerWandering down the memory lane, yearning in vain
So convinced that yesterday's always sweeter
You're lost in the past
So let me get you through the deceiving layers of time
Let me wake you from your illusions to see that there's nothing to fear
Release yourself
Precious moments passing by thirty frames a second
Funny how we get stuck in the past
Memories sweet and gilded preventing us from seeing the present day
Oh sweet confuser
Wish you could leave the burden behind
It's tearing you apart
And thoughts are running in vicious circles
You're lost in the past
Let me Help you out
Distraction is clouding your way
Let me wake you from your illusions to see that there's nothing to fear
Release yourself
Precious moments flying by
While we're recollecting
Wondering why we get stuck in the past
Always contemplating instead of daring to face the day
Precious moments passing by thirty frames a second
Funny how we get stuck in the past
Always contemplating
Precious moments flying by
While we're recollecting
Wondering why we get stuck in the past instead of daring to face the day
Precious moments passing by
SHRIEKS AND SIGHS
Again today he slowly moves from light disappears from sightTo a shadow corridor and Who can say what's going on inside his mind
He's collecting shrieks and sighs
His lonely life refilled with hopes and fears reflecting in their eyes
He captures the heat and breathes the atmosphere of other people's lives
For a brief enchanted moment his and stranger's lives collide,
Seem to be entwined
Again today prepares his act in scene to re-establish dreams
Recall the memories
He's standing alone observing strangers passing by
He's collecting shrieks and sighs
His lonely life refilled with hopes and fears reflecting in their eyes
He captures the heat and breathes the atmosphere of other people's lives
PARALLEL
I can see the image of her when she's gone out of reachIt's just a vision of her and there's crack in this picture
Scent of her floating in the air fading when she's gone
We've been keeping the distance far too long, the connection is breaking
There's no answer when I'm calling to you In this another life of yours
Another parallel life of yours
There's no solution when I'm aching for you
I try to dive into another life another parallel life of yours
Another life
Hearing her on a line to me speaking words of confusion
She's trying to tell me something that means nothing to me,
I'm out of reach but how to cease this indifference
And feelings so bleak wondering if our parallel lives would ever converge
The connection is breaking
There's no answer when she's calling to me
In this another life of mine
Another parallel life of mine
There's no solution when she's reaching for me
She tries to dive into another life another parallel life of mine
Another life
When the whole world descends on me
I'll be the figure of your disgrace and damage is done
There's no answer when I'm calling to you
In this another life of yours
Another parallel life of yours
There's no solution when I'm aching for you
I try to dive into another life another parallel life of yours
Another life
INSIDE YOUR WORLD
Hush little baby, don't you cryThere's rearrangements ahead
Pick up all the pieces of your mind and reset your consciousness
Thousand little things I've worried before are vanished into the haze
Breathe some life back into me and give the meaning to it
I'm not afraid to step inside your world
Discard concealing and let me through to make you feel assured
Believe me, relieve me again
I want to feel
I want to touch
I want to smudge myself in the mystery of you
Until we have pulled through the complications
Praised are the chaste and prejudiced
In righteousness they grow
But reality is another thing and I'm not going to go with the flow
Thousand little things I've worried before are vanished into the haze
Breathe some life back into me and give the meaning to it
Give the meaning to it
Breathe some life back into me
I want to feel
I want to find
I want to find out the ways to step inside your world
Step inside your world
Discard concealing and let me through to make you feel assured
Believe, relieve me again
I want to feel
I want to touch
I Want to smudge myself in the mystery of you
Until we have pulled through the complications
VISUALISE (lyrics & vocals by Geoff Pinckney)
Confusion's holding me, holding tightlyGiving in is not the game I play
Visions shine for me, shining brightly
Giving light so I can see the way
I feel so insecure
My future's so unsure
Believe me
There's something wrong when no-one hears you cry...
Visualise, utilise
The dreams you hold inside
Visualise, utilise
The dreams we hold inside
The moment's leading me out of darkness
The anger cannot turn my joy to pain
I'm reaching out for now only to wonder
If old and new were simply just the same
Visualise, utilise
The dreams you hold inside
Visualise, utilise
The dreams we hold inside
PUT YOUR TRUST IN ME
This golden age of selfishness has left me disillusionedUnable to break away from decline and the repetition of all my former sins
I wish you could still reveal the heat and strength within me
I hope you could see in through my eyes, find out that there's still light
Shining from inside in case that you decide to put your trust in me
Another sunrise, another cold goodbyes,
Simulated acts of caring
I'm tired of keeping this chaos inside,
living the same mistakes all over and over again
I wish you don't have to hear the lies, tales of deception
I hope you could see in through my eyes and put your trust in me
You're the one that gives me comfort
You're the one that makes me smile again
You're the one that I've been longing for
You're the one that saves me from myself
I wish you could still reveal the heat and strength within me
I hope you could see in through my eyes, find out that there's still light
Shining from inside in case that you decide to put your trust in me
Put your trust in me
DEFEATED
In numb oppressive sleep these creatures roam the earthTo a mental isolation we are cursed at the birth
I looked inside myself to find out how I feel
There was nothing much to see, defeated hopes and dreams
Sometimes I sense a soft caressing touch trying to heal
But my soul's not a soul at all anymore
Too lame to feel
We live inside the concrete walls and hide behind restrictions
Sometimes we see the distant sun and dream of affections
Don't try to touch me, I've got no time to care
Don't speak, don't make an intrusion, I might get scared
Connections are forbidden, strangers are the freaks
So wear the shades and look deranged to avoid a human feel
Sometimes I sense a soft caressing touch trying to heal
But my heart's not a heart anymore
Too tame to beat
We live inside the concrete walls and hide behind restrictions
Sometimes we see the distant sun and dream of affections
We hide behind the cold stone walls sealing the life outside
Sometimes we see the sun
Sometimes we see the sun
We live inside the concrete walls and hide behind restrictions
Sometimes we see the distant sun but never really feel the warmth inside
FIBER-OPTIC RHYTHM (lyrics & vocals by Mike Babbitt)
Connect your minds eye into a data transfer highYour trepidation is now in isolation
Fiber Optic Rhythm
Communicate to me your soul
Fiber Optic Rhythm
Fiber Optic Rhythm
Feel the transfer make you whole
Fiber Optic Rhythm
Awaken senses you never knew existed
Relax your tension inside my digital dimension
In my digital dimension feel the fiber optic rhythm
CONTEMPT
How hard it is to escape these razors that cut me deep inside each time you speakAnnoying words and bitter feelings
How long is it going to take until you leave me be and what do you need to release the prey
I've been through desolation then I've felt your cold life flow inside my veins
At this point of contentment turning into sheer contempt leave me alone
Your body structure carefully constructed gives you the illusion that you're so unique
But take a closer look inside your head disturbed
I don't need your explanations or continuous hurt
I've been through desolation then I've let your cold life flow inside my veins
At this point of contentment turning into sheer contempt leave me alone
What have you become -
What do you need What have you become -
What do you feel What have you become -
It's sad to see What have you become -
What do you need What have you become -
What do you feel What have you become -
It's sad to see What have you become -
What have you done to yourself
How long is it going to take until you're finally pleased
How much do you want of this hate and deceit
I hope you're not too proud or too full of conceit
'cause life has it's ways to equalize the deeds
I've seen enough of this foul-hearted play
I've let your cold life flow inside my veins
At this point of contentment turning into sheer contempt leave me alone
Leave me alone
TIME MACHINE
Just a little needle and you're floating awaySomewhere in time that I will never go slowly decays falling again
Image's blurred into the deep sleep
Breaking the silence that separate us in different directions we're moving apart
In the End you'll find yourself somehow going back... going back in time
Move on
You're moving in circles you're in different dimension
Can't get any louder than this infilterating sound
Infilterating Sound Slowly decays falling again
Seeing myself walking on timeline
In the end you'll find yourself somehow going back... going back in time
Move on
Like you've done before
Move on
In the end You'll find yourself somehow going back
Through the endless time
Like you've done before
Move on
Move on
