Ghost Of Humanity

No nobody thought
No nobody cared
Until the ashes of the past
Became castle in the air
Maybe just blind to truth
Maybe the esprit de corps
Whatever the excuse
Reality you chose to ignore
None so blind as those who will not see
Now all that's left is the ghost of humanity
Like lambs to the slaughter
Like a conditioned reflex
Couldn't think for yourself
Evidence you just reject
Maybe an act of faith
Maybe the mandala
You reap what you sow
Now say sayonara
None so blind as those who will not see
Now all that's left is the ghost of humanity
Cause and effect
It's in your hands
The rewards you'll collect
Dust in these barren lands
Never learning from the past
Never heeding advice
Nothing can last
Now your burning paradise
None so blind as those who will not see
Now all that's left is the ghost of humanity
None so blind as those who will not see
Now all that's left is the ghost of humanity
Just close your eyes
The writings on the wall
The damage is done
Now it's too late for us all
None so blind as those who will not see
Now all that's left is the ghost of humanity

Don’t you feel the summer
Flowing through your veins
An animal passion,
Won’t you ride this train?
Love is just a story
Written in time
Will you roll the dice
Let our worlds combine
It could be love for life
It could be just for tonight
Play your wild cards.
Move into the light
Come out of the dead zone
Blinded out too long
Come into the cyclone
The feeling’s strong
Anything could happen
It’s no false deal
Will you take the chance
On something real
It could be love for life
It could be for just tonight
Time to cut the deck
Come and spin the wheel
Quit chasing losses
Chance on something real
Heart to heart
Hip to hip
Something to lose
Will you take the risk
It could be love for life
It could be just for tonigh

Tokyo Rising

In a city born on fault lines
Where we’re found, not displaced
The Ring of Fire
Leaves us feeling embraced
In the shadows
In the shade
It could have been special
But for the choices we made
In the darkness of Kabukichō
It’s the zero hour
Embrace the devil you know
Amongst the wildflowers
In the shadows
In the shade
It could have been special
But for the choices we made
Talk of loss and lies
Between the night and the neon
Whisper to a cry
Our future’s forgone
Just running
In the circles that drive us down
Just running
Through the heart of this town
In the shadows
In the shade
It could have been special
But for the choices we made

Partial Truth
03:47
|

It’s just a partial truth
But it’s all in your eyes
Not the whole story
Half-truths is your disguise
Maybe you say what’s in your heart
Believe what you say is true
There’s a darkness in the art
Too opaque to see through
A little white lie
To capture the mood
The simple minded
Are just so easily fooled
It’s just a partial truth
But it’s all in your eyes
Not the whole story
Half-truths is your disguise
Like a politician
You’ve betrayed your youth
Manipulated the facts
Presented a partial truth
It’s just a partial truth
But it’s all in your eyes
Not the whole story
Half-truths is your disguise
Using words as a sleight of hand
With every truth you’ve sold
Talking sentences, I'm not meant to understand (91)
Fill your hollow soul
It’s just a partial truth
But it’s all in your eyes
Not the whole story
Half-truths is your disguise

Craving

You could call it a need
She brings warmth to my soul
Clarity to my indecision
Makes the world seem whole
Take me up
Shake me down
Nothing lasts forever
The mystery is found
She makes things all so clear
Free from time or grace
Making the truth disappear
Take me up
Shoot me down
Nothing lasts forever
A mystery is crowned
She can fracture time
Change fantasy to reality
Separate a chosen line
Combine dreams so easily
A time that seemed so far away
Has now become yesterday
Take me up
Shake me down
Nothing is forever
Let’s escape the ground
Worship at her altar
She sets my spirits free
Isolation come clean
An Angel of destiny
Shoot me up
Shoot me down
Nothing’s forever
The mystery is drowned

Falling

Catch a falling star
Before she burns her way
She wants to give this time
Give this time
Forget the distance
Her lights so bright
She can be seen
Fading into the night
Save in ascendance
She is changed
She is summer
She is shame
Catch a falling star
Before she burns her way
She wants to give this time
Give this time
Forget the distance
For her lights so bright
She can be seen
Fading from sight
Coloured in saffron shade
Shrouded in blue
She is changed
She is new
Wish upon her vision
Look into her light
Catch the falling star
Fading into the night

As the sunset falls
Stars illuminate the sky
Shining in their heavens
You’re the reason why
Just block the light
There’s danger in the air
The night comes at a price
And love isn’t fair
You look so cool
With your ice-cold stare
To ward off the fools
With hearts laid bare
The ease with which you tease
Nothing to prove
Doing as you please
Just the liberty to choose
Just block the light
There’s danger in the air
The night comes at a price
And love isn’t fair
Maybe you’re the loser
In this game
But what’s the use of a heart
When all you feel is pain
The ease with which you please
Only to prove
There is no guarantees
Just liberty to lose
Just block the light
There’s danger in the air
Night comes at a price
And love isn’t fair
You’re not the fool
Your heart couldn’t care
There is no rule
In this season laid bare
Just block the light
There’s danger in the air
The night comes at a price
And love isn’t fair

Senses are being burned
Searching for the afterglow
In a fear called love
In a passion taken low
She says tie me up, hold me down
I can only reach for heaven from the ground
She says tie me up, hold me down
I can only touch heaven when I’m bound
The ease with which you tease
The moral is just a mirage
Eyes like the midnight skies
You hide inside your lovers’ façade
She says tie me up, hold me down
I can only reach for heaven from the ground
She says tie me up, hold me down
I can only touch heaven when I’m found
Shining clear through the haze
The silk strains at your skin
Something to hide the pain
To escape the world you’re living in
The ease with which you tease
The mirage of my dreams
Skies like your darkened eyes
The lie is just what it seems
She screams tie me up hold me down
I can only reach for heaven from the ground
She screams tie me up hold me down
I can only feel heaven when I’m bound
Shining clear through the haze
The shadows trace your skin
Some shame in virtue
Just to survive the world we’re living in
She says tie me up, hold me down
I can only reach for heaven from the ground
She says tie me up, hold me down
I can only touch heaven when I’m bound

In A Lonely Place
03:44
|

|
I was born when she kissed me
She was the sun and the shame
‘Breathing life into beauty
Forming love from change
But I died when she left me
Though the world stays unchanged
Nothing’s left to find
Just desolation and sorrow remain
I lived while she loved me
In the space between parallel lines
Lost in a lonely place
In the space between sometimes

New Dreams
03:20
|

|
There’s only hope
There’s only the feeling
Nothing’s for real
Just our senses reeling
Talk in present tense
The future and past
Could kill our pretence
Dreams weren’t meant to last
Of the tears cried
Of the unseen crime
All the lost and lonely
Falling into the sands of time
And there’s another, and another and another
Walking through the night
Looking for a new dream
Being shot down on sight
Staring at the stars
Up from the gutter
They may well be ours
Heaven from one another
We’re strangers here
The rivers run deep
Met by the fear
Only angel’s weep
Hearts may be open
But their minds are closed
Ignorance is in fashion
For the question posed

Through this hinterland
As we watch the thieves
All’s laissez-faire
Theirs’s to take but not to receive
We’ve got control
But we don’t have command
Your heart I’ll console
In this broken land
And just like me
You’re powerless but free
In this time
It’s yours but not mine
Looking at the chimera
In this twilight zone
Through the hysteria
All’s ruined that’s alone
Dream like it never was
Through the summer rain
Imagine just because
It can heal our pain
