Gonna hit the road when I get enough time Got to get another heavy load off this heart and mind Gonna find some old friends get a new job I'm headed for the country coz the city won't stop I think I need a change You know I heard her on the radio Just the other day Now everyone I know says she's doing all right But I'm a little too close still to those long dark nights But I wish her all the best from the bottom of my heart She really stood out from the rest and now I need a new start I think I need a change You know I heard her on the radio And I've been thinkin' bout rain clouds... You know the bigger they are the harder the fall You wish on a cloud you give it your all And that's the way things go I've been thinkin' bout rain clouds...

You've got the whole inside of you The whole inside of you The whole inside of you Got the whole inside of you You got it goin' on yeah I'm fighting for pure air Into your labyrinthine lair Got it all inside of you Share your love and just feel Shed this skin it's so real We're goin' in for the kill There's somethin' around you Strapping bombs to these walls We're gonna blow it all Get off the road or you fall If you know what's good for you The world it lies in your hand A thousand grains of quicksand A call to arms for your land A bullet was fired for you Gonna roll the dice and wait Throw down the first grenade Rip the dripping mask from this face Eyes been watching you Share your love and just feel Shed this skin it's so real We're goin' in for the kill There's somethin' around you Strapping bombs to these walls We're gonna blow it all Get off the road or you fall We're coming' all the way through Shower your world Shatter your world You gotta hold and shatter your world Shower your world Shatter your world You got the whole inside of Shout 'til all the lives are true You got the whole inside of you You got the whole inside of you You got the whole inside of you You've got the whole inside of you Got the whole inside of you You got the whole inside of you You got the whole inside of you

Some days you feel a thirst Sometimes to feel the dirt Your eyes creeping further than you know So state your aim Some days you get so near Sometimes you kneel fearless Your walls creeping further than you know So state your aim So state your aim You don't know your world's about to change I can see it in your eyes You shake in your cast role Crystallised in your dark soul Your alms ask for heaven's open door So state your aim The moves you make so instilled Heart of blackened will Your floors holding devils under You take your aim This is your killing time You're feeling light This is your killing time You're feeling life again Machine your world from a concrete hideaway Under sheltered silence of the skies No compromises When's the day you're sick of fighting For your self-deluded paradise? You decide Some days you feel a thirst Sometimes to feel the dirt Your eyes creeping further than you know So state your aim

Lately I - I've been wandering Been draggin' these tired old heels I've been walking under a flickering light Been kicking' stones down uneasy street Been watching holes grow in my shoes Now I know She's comin' home again I listen out for the sound of her knock on my front door Maybe I - I've been comin' on too strong Yes - maybe I - I've been holdin' on too long Been hidin' from the future Been runnin' from yesterday Been watching holes grow under my shoes Now I know She's comin' home again I'll listen out for the sound of her knock on my front door Ain't no shooting star Ain't no shooting star She's comin' home again Coming home again She's comin' home again

Your world's inside your mind It's easy to defend Curtain womb you try to hide It's not a game Into a never-ending spiral You descend Certain only of the things you can't explain Could you hold me to the end? Could you hold me to the end? As hope flies out your window You don't raise a hand You catch hold of a memory As time washes through You still don't understand It's just a lottery Painting your picture On a canvas And the sky looks so blue But the landscape doesn't fit you And the colours run And the colours run You start over again Break down your walls Show me what's you Break down your walls Tell me your truth Come to the inside Hold me again Open your insides Never lose me again And hold me to the end Hold me to the end

No heart breaks Like the heart of a woman who is given up No hand takes Like the hand of a man who hasn't listened to his heart Can you hear me? Over there Why you look so sad? Why don't you come nearer? I'll help to make you so glad you did They were standing on the edge He was staring a line When she leapt right off that ledge He stayed on in his mind She says Can you hear me? Up there Why you look so sad? Why don't you come nearer? I'll help to make you so glad you did Isn't it easy? Now let the ground get so far below To be light as a breeze And if you fall You'll never know I wish that these walls won't trap us in And I wish that we all could end where we begin Can you hear me? Down there Why you look so sad? Why don't you come nearer? I'll help to make you so glad you did Isn't it easy? Now let the ground get so far below To be light as a breeze I'll bet you'd never know You're falling down

Little sister what's the game? You left this town To get out of the pouring rain Little sister how you do? Been wandering I hope you get your feelers true Little sister what they know You jumped aboard grabbed the gourd Feel the poison flow Little sister come inside Shut the blinds Lay down by my side With your head held high Change your colours with a smile Little sister what we hold Could turn it all around If we could be so bold yeah Little sister when we ride The way we love We'll burn these bridges down tonight With your head held high Change your colours with a smile Let it fade away To a brand new day I guess you've heard by now You're beautiful To me I guess you know it now You've beautiful To me Little sister what they seek To shut things down To rail against humanity Little sister what we sow Is what they reap In the meantime Let your spirit flow Before it fades away Before it fades away With your head held high Change your colours with a smile Let it fade away To a brand new day With your head held high Change your colours with a smile Let it fade away To a brand new day

Below lies a running stream Take a long line stay awhile No need to feel your feet forever on the golden mile And yes she's the love you keep She knows you all too well No need to tell her of the seasons of your soul And you wake up on your own In a room you don't know Sweet lies to herself There's warmth up ahead In dreams moving slow Her face in the glow On her way again Together on the river bed You lay your weary head on her lap And listen to her voice and the wind And yes you can hear the open sea As the wind blows through the trees And your tide comes rushing in again And you wake up with love in your heart again And you wake up with her in your arms again And she knows you'll stay awhile Through seasons of your soul You've known this life before We lie in the flow Storm up ahead Our dreams bring us home Your face in the glow And a feeling you know On our way yeah On our way yeah On our way

Getting up early with the fiction that is your world Got enough fuel to survive for another day or three Are we guilty of your sins? Are you guilty of our sins? As the earth opens fire they let you in for a second fight A young man cries are you ever gonna realise? Are you guilty of your sins? Know you are Would you kill to absolve your sins? We all fall Would you give up your only child? Don't you give up you lonely child You got stains upon your soul We got blood on us all Capricorn moon got another year or two to repent While the murderers rage in their rusty cages of circumvention Even as truth became the lie upon which we sow Mother's birth her stillborn earth We got blood on us all Are we guilty of your sins? You know we are Are you guilty of our sins? Capricorn moon got another year or two to repent While the murderers rage in their rusty cages of circumvention Even as truth became the lie upon which we sow Mother's birth her stillborn earth We got blood on us all

You ought to know by now That this road you've been travellin' It's not the one you once knew It's time you shed that old crown Leave the throne Get your feet back on firm ground Take a look around They'll carry you Carry you Away You've got to get yourself Back to a place of your own dreaming Coz that's the way for you Time to wipe your eyes Of this sleep coz you've been sleeping I know you know it's true It carries you You know it carries you Oh yeah We need to break away Get these old ghosts buried in their graves It's time to let it bleed Coz right now that's where this road leads Our hearts into our home Put your heart into your home

Flying Glass 08:06
Chase the shadows Raise the glow Where she roams No one knows Far from home Severed seas No time to stop She's blowing with the breeze Into the slip Into the slipstream Into the slip Into the slipstream Trace a line Across her ancient skin Dig her all you want You won't find anything Into the slip Into the slipstream Into the slip Into the slipstream When life it goes so slow She's heading into the moment Into the moment And where she calls her home No one really knows Into the moment Into the moment Moment... Into the slip Into the slipstream Into the slip Into the slipstream Into the slip Into the slipstream Into the slip Into the slipstream When life it moves so slow She goes heading into the moment She's gone And where she likes to go No one really knows She's gone Into the moment Into the slipstream
