Extinct Instinct

Sick of guessing what's behind your eyes I ask for truth and all I get is lies The shrinking violet in your flaccid mind Thinks he's cool but all you do is whine And now you stand there and demand your half When I have given to you all you have Don't make me laugh at that demo play You're sick and tired of my clever word play You find it hard doing things my way You've done your part so tell me why do you stay I assume your silence is a foil for rage You can't find words even at your age The space between us is the cloak you wear To hide your feelings oh you just won't dare To reveal the visage that's behind your mask We have the answers but you just won't ask Don't make me laugh at that passion play You're sick and tired of my clever word play You find it hard doing things my way You've done your part so tell me why do you stay Now I pick up the entrails of another dead affair I assume the mantle that I knew you could not wear You never had the confidence to leave yourself exposed To the gaze of the tiny minds it's my mission to explode Is this more like it can you get into the groove Or are you paralyzed still too scared to move You are naked, you are rooted to the spot I am the walrus and it's clear that you are not

As we sailed through the clouds Over plains of emerald green A million dead unseen we were justifiably proud They saw the doors opening They saw the smothered ground They heard the fire ravaging we thrilled at every sound Judges of the night with the calculus of godly might Cause the world to weep As we lay your body down to sleep How it all tortures endlessly gone tomorrow the same Can you in all humility give all that power a name When the kiss of a feather Has worn the mountain down In its annual orbit of the sun When will the suffering cease And do we all deserve our peace (Destiny is but to run) Will our wealth increase when will we all be released (Future's only just begun) But it was not always like this Now I gaze with jaundiced eyes On the fruit of our exploitation I stop to wonder why Where has it all gone all the time that we won All our lives and all of this waste When will the suffering cease And do we all deserve our peace (Destiny is but to run) Will our wealth increase when will we all be released (Future's only just begun) When will the suffering cease And do we all deserve our peace (Destiny is but to run) Will our wealth increase when will we all be released (Future's only just begun)

Give me a place to stand Give me a place to stand... Give me a place to stand and I will move the world Give me the right to speak and see my flag unfurled The gods of war and the generous whore Give me life in this tinsel town But the shit I eat and the people I meet Make me want to bring this curtain down In the nighttime the shadows fall And I retire to lay down The twisted chains and losses and gains of war It's the right time to speak in rhyme of the fire gods That lay down Read between all the shadows I've seen and more I am falling down closer to the ground (Give to me your fairest deeds) I am falling down closer to the ground (Give to me your fairest deeds)... Teardrops are rising Tell me where you're bound I will follow now (I am he your fairy steed) Tell me where you're bound I will follow now (I am he your fairy steed)... Teardrops are falling Nightmare is coming and I hear The drumming of demons in the night The space where my heart was is claimed By the servants of my subconscious flight The wings that I fly on are taking me Into the underworld tonight Where I perceive all my wildest dreams Where I bring them all to life All that stands before breaking human lore (I'm your wildest fantasy) All that stands before breaking human lore (I'm your wildest fantasy)... Teardrops are running Nightmare is coming and I hear The drumming of demons in the night The space where my heart was is claimed By the servants of my subconscious flight The wings that I fly on are taking me Into the underworld tonight Where I perceive all my wildest dreams Where I bring them all to life Unicorn so wild and free Balm my eyes, carry me home Teardrops are drying Nightmare is coming and I hear The drumming of demons in the night The space where my heart was is claimed By the servants of my subconscious flight The wings that I fly on are taking me Into the underworld tonight Where I perceive all my wildest dreams Where I bring them all to life Give to me your fairest deeds Give to me your fairest deeds...

I woke to find you by my side You gave your heart to keep it alive The love that you bring me Is shining within me Just another dream Nothing ever seems to look the same anymore And you're not coming home because it's Just another dream and I could stay alone forever You play your game like nobody loses You know the way so why don't you use it I need you beside me but you keep on hiding Just another dream Nothing ever seems to look the same anymore And you're not coming home because it's Just another dream and I could stay alone forever Forever Long nights and lonely days I'll burn the candle always Just another dream Nothing ever seems to look the same anymore And you're not coming home because it's Just another dream and I could stay alone forever Forever Just another dream You're not coming home Just another dream and I could stay alone forever

We long for a place of constant perfection Where action and outcome Have exclusive protection Like in a dream of the waking mind Life with a freedom that is so hard to find I cannot dream no more, my mind is a blank Virtuality, electrons running round my brain Virtuality, cybersex without the pain Virtuality, life can never be the same Virtuality, rock and roll without the fame I am wired into the electronic drain My mind is part of a gigantic mainframe Melding my consciousness with input so profound Relying on program for every sight and every sound I cannot dream no more, my mind is a blank Virtuality, electrons running round my brain Virtuality, cybersex without the pain Virtuality, life can never be the same Virtuality, rock and roll CD-ROM drive me far away Hard discoveries in hyperspace Don't delete me I am no sprite Girlfriend's fat agnes chip burning bright I have immersed myself in the isolation tank Virtuality, electrons running round my brain Virtuality, cybersex without the pain Virtuality, life can never be the same Virtuality, rock and roll Virtuality Virtuality...

Close your eyes and tell me what you find Don't you hear the voices in your mind Where have all your lovers gone The friends you thought you counted on Passed away like shadows lost with time I gave you all your life to make a choice From time to time I know you heard my voice It wasn't just for information I desired your conversation All you did was drown me out with noise When I said go you wouldn't go I gave my hand but every time you never want to know And so you turned away, the seasons reached their end It took you all your days to keep me from your head The night grew dark, your eyes grew black And soon there'll be no turning back again Are you swimming through a myriad Of spiritual decisions? Are they whispering sweet nothing while they Drown you with derision? Out of sight but in your mind They're calling out, they're pulling you away Deep inside you know what's right But slowly you're believing what they say If they said go would you go Are you orbiting the rainbow? Do you live to be in trances? Are you lost in paranoia? Did you take too many chances? Parasites and soul-destroyers Ready for your life to drift away Deep inside they steal your mind And slowly you're repeating what they say If they said go would you go If they said go would you go If they said go When every country's gone to war Every dream has hit the floor When every gene has split in two And every breath has poisoned you Only then you'll understand None of this is what I planned But giving you the right to choose Meant some of you would have to lose When every lake is parched and dry When all pollution kills the sky When every soul has gone it's way And every heart is old and gray Maybe then you'll understand Somewhere on your wounded land You heard my voice but chose to turn away

I get flashes of reality quickly consumed In the fog of existence and the thoughts I exhumed Are lost to the grasping fingers of understanding A dancing light on the edge of my sight That teases me through the futility of life And torments my slumbering mind into action This is not a lethal wait but it can be a kind of deception Vanity is a heavy weight fueled by a constant rejection No rational perception of the meaning sustained I have no pain to measure but the concept remains High and illusive a briefly glimpsed bright Hall of awareness where my soul is in flight A strong evolution of humanity's ground A large inhalation of both meaning and sound Based on a primitive urge of exploration This is not a lethal wait but it can be a kind of deception Vanity is a heavy weight fueled by a constant rejection They say that music is the window of the soul Look through the frosted pane At the melody of my heart I am the dreamer, yes, I am the only one I have been victim of obsession from the start She came then to me in a cloud of tension Disguised by perfume of lover's affection Maintained a silence kind of rejection Nervous of feelings she was just too scared to mention But I was staring deep into the lake of despondency Nihilistic nightmare on which I've embarked My soul is exposed to the truth that is stark And no one can help me solving this rare conundrum But the world goes on spinning, the sun comes again Washes fear from my memory, clears doubt from my brain The awesome eye sweeps past into the distance This is not a lethal wait but it can be a kind of deception Vanity is a heavy weight fueled by a constant rejection This is not a lethal wait but it can be a kind of deception Vanity is a heavy weight fueled by a constant rejection

As a child I recall I had once believed I would die before I reached seventeen Seventeen I remember I faced the truth When I understood your prophecy was confused When all is done there is little That can guide everyone along The faltered line you mumbled On the day you left us behind Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Nothing is clear though you promised me You promised me that you'd be here Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Though nothing was clear As a child hope is what keeps us young Like a fuel it will burn until you are strong If you're weak you'll never see past the day Like a cynic you will probably feel betrayed If one thing's clear there is certainly little of value here And when we die inevitably We're leaving all this behind Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Nothing is clear though you promised me You promised me that you'd be here Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Though nothing was clear Nothing was clear

Don't look down upon the atmosphere Wings of stealth are broken dreams Don't look back upon your learned years You seem blind to what you've seen Now I see how far the ground Has fallen down and round and round Time is a river and life flows away Into the valley of dreams you've made Soon I'll be surfing that cold astral plane Where the dreams and the nightmares Are one and the same Don't look now upon your history Dead end streets of futures spurned Don't look up to all you wish to be Winding path of your sojourn Can you see how far the ground Has fallen down and round and round Time is a river and life flows away Into the valley of dreams you've made Soon I'll be surfing that cold astral plane Where the dreams and the nightmares Are one and the same Time is a river and life flows away Into the valley of dreams you've made Soon I'll be surfing that cold astral plane Where the dreams and the nightmares Are one and the same Time is a river Into the valley Soon I'll be surfing Where the dreams and the nightmares Are one and the same

Trying to make an impression on the world Like throwing rocks into the sea Trying to bring to my surroundings a subtle piece of me Every action we bring to this life can it change reality Even if it's an opposite force will it bring equality We all retain these futile gestures Like some common held belief But as the waves return my mote It brings me only slight relief The wings of the butterfly have stirred the forest air And I have made a minuscule contribution An element in the sum of the parts Of the ultimate solution Inside the seventh iteration The flaws of order are revealed No straight lines, no simple answers The laws of symmetry repealed Like rocks in the waters of the stream of our existence We cling to the mortality and awareness of ourselves What place would we be swept to If we had the strength to let go And let the waters take us to Wherever they may flow Just part of the chaos, spinning around me Just part of the chaos, part of the synergy of life Just part of the chaos, rising above me Just part of the chaos Are we delivered to the edge Of some far forgotten shore? Are we engulfed amongst the waves? Are our notes added to the score? The symphony continues Though it has no shape or form We'll never change its course Forever just breath against the storm Just part of the chaos, spinning around me Just part of the chaos, part of the synergy of life Just part of the chaos, rising above me Just part of the chaos Our crazy minds insist on bringing order to the world Our systems see confusion in a dark cyclonic swirl The anarchy of nature can't be tamed by you or I We'll never understand her patterns It's dangerous to try Just part of the chaos, spinning around me Just part of the chaos, part of the synergy of life Just part of the chaos, rising above me Just part of the chaos Just part of the chaos, spinning around me Just part of the chaos

So you're the man with the mansion On the hill like the fool you have built But they say you're of wisdom With your words be careful what you spill And you open wide all your doors at night And let the people through And you tell them of an eventful life And every word is, every word is right But very rarely true And in our minds there are mansions Just like yours that won't mean that much to you And we all see the answers But like you they will never be fulfilled In the past you'll find you had once denied The very thing you do And you cannot see that throughout your life Everything was, everything was right So you open wide all your doors at night And let the moonlight through And you contemplate on your varied life And every thought is, every thought is right But very rarely true Every word is right but very rarely true

Lately I've been staring at the sky Lately I don't get to sleep at night I cry to the moon, "Don't come back too soon" Lately I've been coming back to life Lately I've been dreaming I can fly I smile at the moon, a hint of understanding starts to grow I'm not alone I'm not alone All that remains are the scars and the stains But it's time to put them all away You're not alone I'm not alone All that remains are the scars and the stains But it's time to put them all away You're not alone I'm not alone
