Life in the Wires

"Can you hear me?" Ghosts Of the voices they left behind In the tide lines, they will confide everything in time At night When the waveforms burn in the air Like a whisper caught in a prayer: "Can you hear me?" So I wait Lying still with dust in my eyes All through these years Dreaming of the day we will fly Fly... But for now As broken hearts wait to mend And stories wait for the end - so I will still be here

All of us are in a picture But looking back, there’s only me Remember when we were together? The perfect absent family Sometimes it’s right to face the weather Sometimes it’s better not to know I thought that you would always be there But then I had to let you go I used to think I’d live forever But "time’s a thief", you used to say I’ll make my home this house of winter Growing colder in your name

When the light is falling Then the sky starts to come alive Remains in the waves and noises The old world, out beyond The Eye Drifting slowly in and out of focus The secret world that no one looks to find Your people pass beyond the door They'd never understand it all Caught up in their superficial lives I’m searching for the signals of survivors I’m looking for those fallen satellites They call this life They call this life It’s all a lie - it’s all a lie! (...Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?) Out of the white noise, caught in the air But how can I tell you? I know you’re calling, you’re not alone But how do I get through? Through the void Through all the void, I heard you loud and clear I heard your name You gave me hope, and then you disappeared Like a dream... I’ve nothing here, I’ve nothing left I’m just a fading silhouette Cause I played the game, but failed the test In paradise, we’re paralyzed We’re blinded by those pretty lights I see it everywhere I go But I found myself an antidote So I will walk right outta here Can’t take this poison atmosphere I’m heading out into the light So I’ll see you on the other side I’ll wreck the roads and burn the boats This greatest day I’ve ever known You take my place and take my clothes You can take it all, I’m going home Going home!

"Hello, this is Livewire. Got a little dust blowin' up here - hope you can still hear me. Hey guys, we're serving that skywave right over the horizon tonight. Settle back... and enjoy the ride." This gentle art of disappearing By making sense of your confinement Remember what you’re doing it for The simple act of interfering With the constraint of your environment When you can’t take it anymore Thе feeling is around me, I’m heading for the light You won’t see my facе round here no more You’re a plastic god With a torn paper crown I am done with this town, this town Evaporate I will leave no note So you won’t find out I am gone from this town, this town Evaporate I’ve set my sight on this horizon There’s nothing left for me, I’m getting out Pretend that I was not here at all So, when all around me are still sleeping And when the town is still and silent That’s when I will melt into the walls The feeling is around me, to try another life There’s nothing here to keep me anymore You’re a plastic god With a torn paper crown I am done with this town, this town Evaporate I will leave no note So you won’t find out I am gone from this town, this town Sometimes it feels like it’s too high a price To pay for the madness we’re sold as a life Sometimes it falls to a roll of the dice Then everything’s gone in the blink of an eye Give me a reason to try (Give me a reason to try) Now this is the season to fly (This is the season to fly) I’ve found a new way to survive And now you know that you are leaving Don’t say a final word, or look around Just step right up, and walk right through the door You’re a plastic god With a torn paper crown I am done with this town, this town Evaporate I will leave no note So you won’t find out I am gone from this town, this town Evaporate I’m the mist in the morning And the space in the talking I’m the pause in your breathing As you fall into dreaming I’m the name that escapes you I’m the something behind you I’m the said and the done, now On the tip of your tongue now (Turn the lights out) I’m the voice of the black light Footnote in the archive (Turn the lights out) I’m the change in the season And the rhyme in the reason (Turn the lights out) I’m the mist in the morning And the space in the talking... (Turn the lights out) (Turn the lights out) (Turn the lights out) (Turn the lights out...) (Turn the lights out...) "Good evening. This is Livewire. Comin' to you every hour, on the hour. Now where's that from?"

The future is closing in We commit to the willing sin In this chaos, I turn away I observe, but I will not play You treat me with no regret Won’t forgive and you won’t forget I am trapped in a poisoned space Think we’re losing this human race We live in a strange world We live in a strange world Well, the writing was on the wall Disconnected, we took the fall We were waiting for kinder times But the rhythm was lost in rhyme When you wake from a perfect dream And things are not what they seem Then the darkness takes hold of light And we return to the pointless fight We live in a strange world We live in a strange world We live in a strange world We live in a strange world We live in a strange world "Hey. This is Livewire. Voice of the free, and tonight we're taking calls. I'm just kidding." (laughter)

Driving, dreaming Drifting down the road, and back in time So deeply Laughing, smiling Standing in the home that once was mine Completely Close your eyes and say a prayer For just when I think you are there Like whispers in the summer air You’re gone, gone, gone... Looking back at my so-called life It all looked so easy Broken toys to broken hearts Fell apart so gently Keep on walking Time can heal, but nothing really lasts Forever Fading gently One day, all we’ll bе is photographs And memories So close your еyes and they’ll be there This secret world that can’t be shared In memory of absent friends They’re gone And just when you think you can catch them Just as you reach out to touch them Try with all your might But they’re gone They’re gone... "You're tuned into Livewire: the ghost of the East, playing spirit of the West. Man, this stuff just writes itself."

Born to a war, well, it’s all very well He’s easily led and he wanted to leave But he’s not very well Pity the kid, it’s not easy The boy has been packing the powders and pills Gone on a mission, opposing position But find him we will And we’ll bottle him up like a genie Just say your prayers, for you can’t hide You’ll fall before Ascension Day arrives You can’t put out these fires You will not find your sanctuary It’s only in your head We’ll burn it all out Burn it all out Our army will defend The Word Destroy the things you said We’ll shoot it all down Shoot it all down Sat on thе wall, well, it’s all very well But soon hе will fall, and it’s easy to tell That he’s shocked by the shell His head is an egg, over easy Born on a number between 1 and nil The damage was done, he’s a chemical spill So we’ll send him to hell With the weight of the world on his shoulders You’ll eat your words, you’ll need the food We’ll freeze you out, and make a fool of you It’s what we do You will not have your victory In spite of all you’ve said I worked it all out Worked it all out You made it me against the world For you, I’m better dead But what goes around Will always come 'round "Hey. This is Livewire. How ya doin'? Well. Time's up. Thank you for listening, take it easy. See ya around."

My heart is lit by flickers Of a fire that’s going out Look what I’ve become I hide within without Past the bullet holes of arguments When the dreamers go to war Reeling from the shockwaves Of things not seen before I was hoping that I’d find a sign of life I’m hoping that I’ll find a sign of life But you are just a siren No, nothing but a siren Everything you said to me And the dreams I dared to dream Lie broken in the grass As your messages repeat I’m hoping that I’ll find a sign of life I’m hoping that I’ll find a sign of life But you were just a siren Nothing but a sirеn The sun is setting lower Blood rеd upon the land But now, the journey’s over It’s the silence I can’t stand I’m hoping that I’ll find a sign of life Oh, I’m hoping that I’ll find a sign of life But you are just a siren No, nothing but a siren Keep hoping... Keep hoping... Keep hoping... Keep hoping... Keep hoping... But you are just a siren (Just a siren) No, nothing but a siren

Thank you for watching my traveling show No time for applause, it’s the end of the road My blood on the punchline, the butt of your joke But we’ve come here to play and we’ve one song to go Time to face the music, face the light Cause you don’t want to die No, you don’t want to die But you’re fueling up the fire And you never wondered why? You might be surprised... Hey, you live life through a camera Your face is a mirror And I’m holding, holding And I’m holding out my hand Hey, this world is a weapon And they’re pulling the trigger So just hold on, hold on Just hold on to my hand So many voices in the air Can anybody hear them out there? Cause every word is meant for you Oh, oh, something coming in the air Can anybody hear us out there? Cause now, the rest is up to you Ticking, talking Heads down, walking Burning through your life The show is over, you’re out of time So here we go Is it laughter or slaughter? Backs against the garden wall Do you know? Is he Satan or Santa? Get him a sack, ho ho ho! I’m the mist in the morning And the space in the talking I’m the pause in your breathing As you fall into dreaming Face the five and face your fear The cracks appear on the frozen ocean Self, rage, fear, blame and lies Cut down to size, and now it’s over You’ll be fine without eyes Misplaced in time, these fatal days Hollow heads and hollow hearts Leave me alone - there’s nothing more to say

We know ourselves We won’t think twice We’re letting go We’re in demise We’re making waves We’re starting fires We can’t go back To paradise I’m done building walls And setting up fences - I’m breaking defences for you As time passes by I’m coming around to the deafening sound of the truth I’m lost on a wave No lacking in purpose, but feeling inertia the same As time passes by I’m coming alive with a better disguise just for you We know ourselves We won’t think twice We’re letting go We’re in demise We’re making waves We’re starting fires We can’t go back To paradise (We’re starting fires...) (We’re starting fires...) (We’re starting fires...) (We’re starting fires...) (We’re starting fires...) (We’re starting fires...) (We’re starting fires...) (We’re starting fires...)
