1. Harmonium Feel free to comprehend What I see will never end It can't be now that life is gone It's too real to overcome It's too real It's too real It's too real And these days my hands are tied These days I think you'll find I'm not me now a light has died It's too real to run and hide I was floating in the water Something tried to pull me under I was floating in the water Something tried to pull me under I was trying to live my life It wouldn't let me Let me let me let me I was trying to live my life It wouldn't let me Let me let me let me Feel free to comprehend What I see will never end I'm not me now a light has died Its too real to run and hide I was floating in the water Something tried to pull me under I was floating in the water Something tried to pull me under I was trying to live my life It wouldn't let me Let me let me let me I was trying to live my life It wouldn't let me Let me let me let me 2. Balance Glad to see your wide awake This is the great escape From a life that tried to mould you And the lie it sold you What would you do? What wouldn't you do? What would you do? What wouldn't you do? What would you do? What wouldn't you do? Did you try to reason why Look yourself in the eye What you are is all you have been What will be is all you do now What would you do? What wouldn't you do? What would you do? What wouldn't you do? What would you do? What wouldn't you do? Spill a tear as your sense of self slowly Melts away Melts away Melts away Until death's mirror reflects The meaning of our lives We wander aimless and mesmerised As the fear starts to rise. 3. Closer Your dream world is a very scary place Your dream world is a very scary place Your dream world is a very scary place To be trapped Your dream world is a very scary place Your dream world is a very scary place Your dream world is a very scary place To be trapped inside To be trapped inside To be trapped inside All your life Shine in time Shine in time Shine in time Until you find You're closer You're closer To the truth Within you Within you Within you Is the truth That your dream world is a very scary place That your dream world is a very scary place That your dream world is a very scary place To be trapped inside To be trapped inside To be trapped inside All your life You're closer You're closer You're closer To the truth Within you Within you Within you Is the truth 4. Are You There? Are you there? Is it wonderful to know All the ghosts... All the ghosts... Freak my selfish out My mind is happy Need to learn to let it go I know you'd do no harm to me But since you've been gone I've been lost inside Tried and failed as we walked by the riverside And I wish you could see the love in her eyes The best friend that eluded you lost in time Burned alive in the heat of a grieving mind But what can I say now? It couldn't be more wrong Cos there's no one there Unmistakably lost and without a care Did we lose all the love that we could have shared And its wearing me down And its turning me round And I can't find a way Now to find it out Where are you when I need you... Are you there? 5. Childhood Dream [instrumental] 6. Pulled Under 2000 Metres A Second Just freedom is only a hallucination That waits at the edge of the distant horizon And we are all strangers in global illusion Wanting and needing impossible heaven Chasing the dream as they swim out to sea The mirage ahead says that they can be free Become lost in delusion drowning their reason Swept on by the current of selfish ambition Frightened ashamed and afraid of the blame The questions are screaming the answers are hiding The sickness is growing distracted condition You can feel the disgust and smell the confusion Lying insane getting soaked in the rain Draining the sky of the guilt and the shame The nightmare is coming the clouds are descending Pulled under two thousand metres a second Clawing at walls that just slip through my fingers Darkness consuming collapsing and breaking Distilled paranoia seeped into the walls And filled in the cracks with the whispering calls Shadows are forming take heed of the warnings Creeping around at four in the morning Lie to myself start a brand new beginning But I'm losing my time in this fear of living Freedom is only a hallucination That waits at the edge of the places you go when you dream Deep in the reason betrayal of feeling The mistakes that I made tore my conscience apart at the seems Freedom is only a hallucination That waits at the edge of the places you go when you dream... Freedom is only a hallucination That waits at the edge of the places you go when you dream Deep in the reason betrayal of feeling The mistakes that I made tore my conscience apart at the seems Freedom is only a hallucination That waits at the edge of the places you go when you dream... 7. A Natural Disaster It's been a long cold winter without you I've been crying on the inside over you Just slipped through my fingers as life turned away It's been a long cold winter since that day It's hard to find Hard to find Hard to find the strength now but I try And I don't want to Don't want to Don't want to go on and speak now Of what's gone by Cos no matter what I say No matter what I do I cant change what happened No matter what I say No matter what I do I cant change what happened You just slipped through my fingers And I feel so ashamed You just slipped through my fingers And I have paid Cos no matter what I say No matter what I do I cant change what happened No matter what I say No matter what I do I cant change what happened No no I can't change Just slipped through my fingers And I feel so ashamed You just slipped through my fingers And I have paid. 8. Flying Started a search to no avail A light that shines behind the veil trying to find it And all around us everywhere Is all that we could ever share if only we could see it Feel there's truth that's beyond me Life ever changing weaving destiny And it feels like I'm flying above you Dream that I'm dying to find the truth Seems like your trying to bring me down Back down to earth back down to earth Layers of dust and yesterdays Shadows fading in the haze of what I couldn't say And though I said my hands were tied Times have changed and now I find I'm free for the first time Feel so close to everything now Strange how life makes sense in time now And it feels like I'm flying above you Dream that I'm dying to find the truth Seems like your trying to bring me down Back down to earth back down to earth Back down to earth back down to earth x2 9. Electricity Seems like you never really knew me Seems like you never understood me Seems like you never really knew how to feel But electricity it drew you near to me What you needed was to be rid of me There were times you really made me smile And there were times you really made me cry And there were times I never really knew how to feel But electricity it drew you near to me What you needed was to be rid of me And the fear made you so unsure of me What you needed was to be rid of me. But electricity it drew you near to me What you needed was to be rid of me And the fear made you so unsure of me What you needed was to be rid of me. 10.
