Mesmer

I am what I create Lashed by tongues of electric fire Shimmering rivers crystalline Run though frozen glimpses in time And I just can't ignore this sight Pouring down on me relentlessly I just can't ignore this feeling Deafened by rolling waves of realisation Frozen, mesmerised in the rain In my darkest days I only saw the shades of grey In a world that drips in colour Droplets of life form in freefall in convalescence They hammer into the soil Carving new streams of essence, through turmoil I am just as fluid, as immortal and lucid As the Earth that morphs, in the violence of a thunderstorm My life is what I make of my trials and my mistakes My life is what I make, I am what I create I am what I create I am what I create I am what I create In my darkest days I only saw the shades of grey In a world that drips in colour

Rise up Rise up Break free as one See through the eyes of the sun Witness the bitter end of all We peeled our stares from the mysteries of the universe And drew them down onto each other A waterfall of knowledge cascaded into bullets for our brothers Led to our deaths by providence When we were born to discover We were born to discover Humankind, seek the sky That we were born to discover Wash away utopia with the tears of the undead Slipping, sliding, fighting our way down the steepest descent We'll meet our fate Spellbound primates bathed in red Witness the bitter end Told to be a delusion We cast and sealed our seeds of evolution Wisdom age old, dormant inside all Until it's time to break the mold Break free as one See through the eyes of the sun Break free as one See through the eyes of the sun Look down at our earth Through the eyes of the sun Humankind's lines don't divide Through the eyes of the sun Rise up Break free as one

I’m breathing just to pass the time I forgot to eat tonight Just running down the clock today With hope the ache will go away Body starts to shake Head begins to spin Leaves me in its wake I’m paralyzed with pain We suffer in a heartmachine Unstable, feeling everything Pins and needles stitching up my skin We suffer Hope is strange, sometimes it leads you on There’s no exception when you’re halfway gone A second chance flash of light that brought me to my knees A burning vision etched in memories Body starts to shake Head begins to spin Leaves me in its wake I’m paralyzed with pain We suffer in a heartmachine Unstable, feeling everything Pins and needles stitching up my skin We suffer trapped in a heartmachine Time heals the wounds, it builds up strength inside Facing the truth, there’s nothing left to hide We suffer Unstable Pins and needles We suffer trapped in a heartmachine

Comatose in the arms of Morpheus Drifting away to a place Where there’s more than this Blindfolded visionary, eyes lost in the black and bleak Chasing footsteps in the dark, lost for where they’ll lead Idols and stars shower light on the sublime Blinding your mind’s eye Bright as your dreams shine Blinding your mind’s eye Reclaim your life Reclaim your life From the iron grip of social design Reclaim your life Your cycle around the sun is eclipsing Like most of us I was misled into a swarm of noise and distortion Eroding my deepest thoughts before my inner voice had spoken To remind me I’m gifted with the power to dream To see what has never been seen But I handed it over, consumed by culture Cloaking the eyes of the visionary Comatose in the arms of Morpheus Drifting away to a place Where there’s more than this Hypnosis

When nothing could be done To salvage what was lost The chosen one A victim of passion He feels the hate rise up A war that can’t be won The mourning son Survives through disaster The soul that suffered All that’s left behind Is a memory that fades Like a rope around your neck Binds you to a resting place And the price that I have paid When I watched you pass away Is the everlasting pain And a memory that fades away When all he had was gone A place we once belonged The chosen one finds an existence Second coming life Daylight pushes on The mourning son No longer a victim All that’s left behind Is a memory that fades Like a rope around your neck Binds you to a resting place And the price that I have paid When I watched you pass away Is the everlasting pain And a memory that fades away The soul that suffered sleeps tonight In the ashes of his demons Demons Daylight holds no salvation From this labyrinth of desolation The fiery hells in his mind Will burn to the ground in time All that’s left behind Is a memory that fades Like a rope around your neck Binds you to a resting place And the price that I have paid When I watched you pass away Is the everlasting pain And a memory that fades away

Pilot of the biomachine Manning the controls of a babbling monkey The circuits behind the interface can’t be seen So the truth is up to me Is this life but a dream Is reality all my senses perceive? It tears me apart from the inside The story we’ve accepted with malleable minds Dogmatic perceptions designed In egotistical pride Have led us blind Short of sight Wondering why our lives feel like they’re lacking meaning We have stopped believing This is just a ride Is reality all my senses perceive? Is what I touch and I see all that lies in front of me? We wonder why our lives feel like they’re lacking meaning We’ve stopped believing This is just a ride

He saw the life slip from her emerald eyes Confusion, illusion had soaked up her mind She clutched his hand, whispered her soul "I never wanted to grow so old Life’s agony, turn off the machine Let me leave this world with dignity" Just let me leave this world Bed of nails under the guillotine Wake me up when my heart stops beating When my heart stops beating Wipe those tears of grief away, young man Let me leave this world Let me leave this world in peace Turn off the machine, turn off the machine Let me leave this world in peace Raise me from this bed of nails And let the angels carry me away Carry me Carry me away Bed of nails under the guillotine Wake me up when my heart stops beating When my heart stops beating Let me leave this world

The last of our martyrs seeks no adoration From his castle in the air of eternal vibration We won’t lose sight of the lasting words he wrote We won’t lose sight of what matters most A shining beacon of wisdom Armed to the teeth Fearless conviction Now that he’s gone we’re going to miss him Immortalised between the lines Conceived by a human heart inside He once said to us, my friend hope is a prison But the hope his chords sung only spread love In a hollow crowned kingdom There are no fighters left here anymore See you on the other side Of that open door We won't lose sight We won't lose sight Of the lasting words he wrote We won’t lose sight of what matters most
