Final call
Pick a side for suicide
Tug of war
In a quicksand pit
Can you hear the whispers?
Screaming out,
Scheming in the distance.
Can you hear, can you hear the whispers?
My, my,
Screaming in, screaming out,
Scheming in the distance.
Keep talking
Get to know your echo
Sleepwalking
Through plagiarised lullabies
Ghost stories
Of nebulous malevolence
Smoke warning,
Your signal's forbidden
My, my,
Can you hear, can you hear the whispers?
My, my,
Screaming out, screaming in the distance
My, my,
Can you hear, can you hear the whispers?
Can you hear the whispers
Screaming in the distance?
Can you hear the whispers?
Screaming in, screaming out
Screaming in, screaming out
Screaming in, out
In, out
In, out
In, out
Screaming in
Screaming out

The Fear Window

Do you remember what it used to be like when we were free?
We could peer out of the window
Without shaking
Through our joy we should have seen
The writing on the wall
Starlight in our eyes
Twinkles buffering
Slowly hazing
Into nothing
I don't want to
Fade out with you
Give me something
To hang on to
Flowers in your eyes
Petals buffering
A brittle disguise
Are you suffering?
Starlight in our eyes
Blinding, buffering
Slowly hazing
Into nothing
I don't want to
Miss out on you
Give me some way
I can reach you
Stop the fear
Murdering you
Your fear of missing out
Keeps you locked in your room
Staring out of the glass
At shapes behind the blinds
Framed by window dressing
A cheap illusion
Fear of fading out
Means you're whitewashing yourself
Like a palimpsest portrait
Writing's on the wall
Unstitch your gaze
The killer's inside you

Better watch your back
We fell through the cracks
Read between the lines
We mean it this time
Stand up and be counted
Hands up - who's been doubted?
Figures neatly rounded
All hopes and dreams ousted
Between life and death
Balancing on a knife-edge
Pieces in the game
Dumb, deaf, blind and lame
No use for a name
Contempt trickles downwards
Waterboards the thousands
Flooding frozen houses
Flushing out by drowning
Between life and death
Balancing on a knife-edge...
Excalibur
Better watch your back

Kaleidoscope

Nascent eyes
Bathed in light
Galaxy in the iris
Born out of the night
Comes to life
A gift
Forgotten in a blink
Sunken eyes
Capsized
Abysm in the pupils
Anchored to the wreck
Nothing left
A gift
Forgotten in a blink
Every void once held a spark
Phantom stars extinguishing
Palimpsests of spectred hope
Hiding a Kaleidoscope

Wish

There's something I've missed
Is it a trick?
The way you all
Let go while I resist
We're growing sick
Yet still instead of healing
I just wish
That's ok
Follow me
Down the rabbit-hole
See how far it goes
Wished upon a star
That's when the sky went dark
Take a deep breath
Close your eyes
Fly
Blind
Bind them tightly
Visualise
Nosedive
Just promise you won't look
It won't do you any good
That's ok
Follow me
Down the rabbit-hole
See how far it goes

The way we live's a crime
I think it all the time
But now I'm not around -
Disappeared
The change is in my hands
They're buried in the sand
A missing monument to
Hiding in plain sight
It's playing on my mind
But not enough to stand
Up to it
The change is in my hands
Still buried in the sand
A missing monument to
The risks I've taken and
The lives I've saved -
All imaginary
The roads I've walked and
The wars I've fought
Never happened to me
Ikiryō you're
Hiding in plain sight
And giving me a fright
I'm sinking where I stand -
Next to you
The way we live's a crime
I think it all the time
But now I'm not around -
Disappeared
Ikiryō
Ikiryō
I'm calling you, I'm calling you again Ikiryō
It's calling me, It's calling me again Ikiryō
Risks I've taken and
The lives I've saved -
All imaginary
The roads I've walked and
The wars I've fought
Never happened to me
Ikiryō you're...

Recognise it's all for nothing
But it means everything to me
Emanate then disappear
Golden marks lost in the dark again
Myriad stars coalesce
All as one, yet single suns alone
Recognise it's all for nothing
But it means everything to me

Blues-rock fans - don't let the "cover art" fool you! These guys let their music do the talking! Strong influences showing through, Hendrix, SRV, Trower among others, all blended into a sound of their own. Strong rhythm section and the guitarist turns it every which way but loose! A hidden gem!
