Nation 05:46
Labels fading Leaders undone Watching the waiting Old School out-run Some of them tell you it’s a lifeline Some of them tell you it’s a key Our genie in a bottle Our castle in the sky The blood upon the ground It’s near (In this Nation) Fires in the open Ashes on the land The burning of the young It’s near (In this Nation) Tribal hatred One side unclean Wounded pieces Moving unseen Photo in family album Somewhere on the beaches then He was gone while she was waiting Lavender and mourning Was it all for love? Where are we? Undecided, half undone Some great weakness, this way comes Laughing at the families Held behind the wire Shirts of black will march once more Walking through an open door Talking of our destiny Welcoming the fire

I dropped out of the chair and spent three days in cold turkey, until the sight of my hands was no longer distant and spider-like. The diagrams were left in a corner but, in my amplified dreams, they crawled of the paper and filled the room. I had reversed by dreams you see. And thus, the dreams of others were now being filled by this engine of metal. This filler and emptier; this Big Red Spark.

Born sighted Complacent Days all the same No warning Sharp impact Inside the brain I’m waking In darkness It’s light outside They tell me I’m lucky They should have lied… Sound to sight it Would be fine Even sound to touch Swapping senses In my mind This is all too much <Chorus> After the light I’m not The man I was before I put up such a fight To lie here on the floor The space between my hands Is twenty seconds long The future races on Distances all wrong Born newly Displacement I need to learn When space is Where time is How to return Time and space have Been replaced By a puzzle box Catatonic’s What they say ‘Just sits there and rocks’ <Chorus> After the light I’m not The man I was before I put up such a fight To lie here on the floor The space between my hands Is twenty seconds long The future races on The distances all wrong Born tenfold Adjacent The way to be By moving Directions Time changes key Time and space have Been replaced By a box of toys I’m the master Of my fate Rise above the noise <Chorus> After the light I’m not The man I was before I put up such a fight To get up from the floor The space between my hands Is twenty million long The future races on The distances are gone

Sever all the ties around me To better fight the nightmare Never saw before he found me I thought I was so sweet there Sundried Today Don't let this moment stay Sundried Today I let it slip away Gather all the troops behind me Then to find there is no-one Suicide's surprised to find me Before the morning sun.

All the colours, all the angles Everything that makes a miracle a miracle (slips away) All the make-up, all the music Little documents for happiness and hatred (Everyday) All the colours., all emotion All the contacts, they will come undone If I let it go I'm not crashing, this is my party I'm not crashing, I'm just here Young and lonely, soft and angry Under every single moment there's a message (In your face) In reaction, in reduction There's a dignity in showing you my weakness (Small and true) All the stillness, all the texture All the context, they will go unchanged If I let it go

The pretty face, the neat ensemble that can drive you to distraction That silly song, you swim along onto a hook until you drown The broken rhythm of a weakness that can poison you attention The simple weight behind a thought that will contrive to bring you down See, it's all around you Raised by good thought Burned to the ground See, it will surround you All that we've wrought Burned to the ground The journey home, is set in stone and quickly broken into pieces The public life that holds a family is suddenly not there The things that stick to you are turning into heresy and opinion A tribe of names becomes the centre of a lie that leads nowhere It makes you feel like you're not there The weight you thought that you could bare What kind of person hides the truth to make a knife out of the secret? Who cuts the rope and tears the sail, that pulls the boat along? A minutes silence for the act, that was thrown into the open As after all it takes a lifetime to admit that we were wrong

Many wishes have been made Many granted, many just mislaid Only one wish joins us all To greet the boatman and to think no more Sew the paint on strange machines Build a god to grant our wish It's the Big Red Spark Safe in the knowledge of The Big Red Spark You know it Walls go up and trillions pray Many worlds are linked in hope/dispair Diplomats have meetings planed With the blueprints in their sweating hands Gather all the dreams to die The work that takes the countless years It's the Big Red Spark Safe in the knowledge of The Big Red Spark Soon we're united in The Big Red Spark Safe in the knowledge of The Big Red Spark Hail to the coming of The Big Red Is this the thing we planned? Almost like drops of light Transparent shards of will, reunite Everywhere up and down Built from our own design We switched off the universe We're still here Who, who, who are you?

The Clock 10:03
Where it lies, there we lay too When it speaks, we applaud In its arms, tenderly To turn us softly to corpse dust Working hard, when my day's done To find my home full of strangers Was it now, was it next year? Tomorrow blends into no-where In my face See his face all around us See his hands reaching out You can tell what he's thinking 'The winning is in the waiting, wait for me.' He gives and takes our right to life Dictator of the masses When he forbids or forces all 'This is the world.' The priest says We'll break him down We'll let him know Dictators have farther to fall Blood an his hands Blood on his face We'll finish him wherever we can Stop listening Stop everything No slices left to live in between Sound of his breath Sound of his heart Dead silence as we tear him apart Am I a victim of my crime If I'm a willing victim? Justly accused of killing time There's nothing left to keep me in Working hard, when my day's done To find my home full of strangers Was it now, was it next year? The winning is in the waiting Wait for me
