[U]PRESSURE[/U]

As the pressure grows and these feelings flow
Trample on bodies, bodies in holes of faith
Times I`ve asked the lord for forgiveness
While kept under a spell of a sweating locust`s breath
No need to tell me cos its written on your face
Sliding down now with the black lights shining
I don`t care where you go you won`t get away from me
Black as the night is day filled with no sympathy
Marching down the hall for a misery
I don`t care where you go you won`t get away from me
Mouth tastes of sick, my stomach twisting inside
Everything`s wrong and I can`t get away
The gravity of fear, you can feel it coming near
It`s coming straight for you, it`ll twist and drag you down
I don`t care where you go you won`t get away from me
Black as the night is day filled with no sympathy
Marching down the hall for a misery
I don`t care where you go you won`t get away from me
?(whisper) 

RELEASE 

Seeing is believing but I don`t wanna know
Walk on through the wasteland I just can`t let go
Face down I just break down when I see you cry all the time
Hold on please behind those grey and lonely eyes
Hold on to me unforgotten by time
Tempt fate release reality is dawning escape
Someone now is screaming as the flames fly high
Think now that we`re lost here and we don`t know why
Face down I just break down when I see you cry all the time
Hold on please behind those grey and lonely eyes
Hold on release unforgotten by time
Tempt fate release reality is dawning escape
Our spirit is awakening
Hold on please and somewhere in the hurricane
Hold on to me hope is waiting
Tempt fate {crying in the distance} release escape
And calling out your name 

LOOKING OUTSIDE INSIDE 

words & music : John Is this the one thought it was insane?
Coming down against it all
Didn’t want it. Didn’t need it. Didn’t want it.
Twisted face of feigning beauty
Count the cost of suffering
Cannot see the day before you
Only feel what`s deep inside
Trying to change it makes no difference
Didn’t want it. Didn’t need it. Didn’t want it.
Didn’t want it. Didn’t need it. Didn’t want it.
Let me go
Looking outside inside - craving for something
Hoping for anything - I`ll believe in anything
Who has eyes that see - who wants to believe?
In something, in anything? In one thing, in freedom
Looking outside inside
Self assist pandemonium - broken promises
Died alive flying high - you caught me in your eye
Disintegrated insinerated - this is not how I want to be
Too much is coming through - someone please tell me what to do
Looking outside inside 

LEAVE NO TRACE 

Born to the glare around the senses
Spoofing reality infused
A new inherent, passive contentment
You are so easily amused
Here and now we are gone in a happy
Dream in the passage of time
Chances are fading, world isn`t waiting
The moment is passing you by
Questions lie beneath the surface
The fools are fooled once again
A benign coincidence, we stole our existence
And gladly cast it to the wind
Here and now we are gone in a happy
Dream in the passage of time
Chances are fading, this world isn`t waiting
The moment is passing you by
No future, no warning 

UNDERWORLD 

Your good intentions are boring, take me away
If it keeps you sane, is that ok?
If i played it safe would it save me?
I’d like to get some rest now if I could just ignore the truth
Scratching at my window
This time I’ve got to make a move ego obliteration
Stand back and watch me melt away
Dissolve all recognition
But I got to burn this weight out of my mind
Running through my veins till I disappear
This feeling is over, this feeling is over me
This feeling is over, this feeling is over me
Climbing up my wall gonna creep between the cracks
Get out of my skull tighten the rope around my neck
Destroy all emotion got to rip my face to shreds
Cut my eyeballs open
But I got to burn this weight out of my mind
Run it through my veins till I disappear
This feeling is over, this feeling is over me
This feeling is over, this feeling is over me 

BARRIERS 

Floating with nowhere to hide
Unspoken twist back inside
How did we get here?
Life don`t belong here
Feel like I just never tried
To find a way back to the outside
It stops me from breathing
Kills all the dreaming
Talking to you from the other side
Of a wall in my mind
And it`s clear that you`re near to me
Think I found a way to understand
Why I couldn`t see what was happening
The fear overcame me
I took a trip on the inside
I took a trip on the inside
I try to hold on till this feeling is gone
Break through to the other side
Need to break through to the other side
Of everything that is hurting you
As you know I just can`t lay down and die
It takes a lifetime to understand why
It seems that you need me
But you don`t seem to hear me
Talking to you from the other side
Of a wall in my mind
And it`s clear that you`re near to me
Think I found a way to understand
Why I couldn`t see what was happening
The fear overcame me
I took a trip on the inside
I took a trip on the inside
I try to hold on till this feeling is gone
Break through to the other side
Need to break through to the other side
Of everything cos this feeling is so near to me
Did you hear me? 

PANIC 

You know you ain`t going nowhere
You`re stuck inside while the mind is flying
You said you knew me in the morning
Twisting on pins into my eyes
And we driving on the ceiling below you
Facin` up the walls with your crocked hands
While you`re miles away, miles away, miles away
I don`t think at all end up like this
There`s spiders on the wall and they stink of piss
Dead heads lying in the corner
Staring at me making me feel bad
I put my hands up to my eyes
But the holes in my palms let me find a way
To corner you, corner you, corner you
I can`t feel my chest because it ain`t much
Sucking through my skin into my brain
Oxygen pushing on the window
Cracks in the glass let it slip away
I start to cry and I keep on laughing
I close my eyes at what`s left inside
And then I`ll ran away, ran away, ran away
For all the time this land, for all the time in my hands
Circle around in depth found calmness fall once again
Once again
Razor blades floating in the warm bath
Air bubbles in your veins turning my hands black
Whispers coming from the next room
Window cleaner keeps on spying
I put my hands up to my eyes
But the holes in my palms let me find a way
To corner me, corner me, corner me
Twelve ton hammer for my breakfast
Slipping of the edge in catatonic blood
Multiple decibel inscriptions
Trying all they can in miles an hour
Of face grey and looming downwards
Sniffing all the time for a ounce of silence
Screaming all the way, all the way, all the way
Numbers counting down inside me
Solar system thoughts circle round my head
False teeth hanging from the ceiling
Feet looking of the goms of the second son
I eat my hands cos my legs are crying
You broke my neck cause I snapped my spine
I wish you would die away, die away, die away
For all the time this land, for all the time in my hands
Circle round in depth found calmness fall once again
Once again 

A FINE DAY TO EXIT 

Long way from home, nowhere to go
What made the river so cold?
The sweat of thoughts trickle down my brow
Soaking and stinging my eye
You gotta face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
Cos this ain`t right
Tell tale sighs and cries of dreams unfulfilled
And time is running, running dry
Panic stricken bloodshot hearts
Try to restart
But no longer build the well to survive
Sweet oblivion
You gotta face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
Cos this ain`t right
I got these feelings and I don’t know why
I see all my fears in the darkness of light
What made the river so cold?
Never anyone to rearrange and fall to
Time inside the empty
Call to the blameless I am faithless
Placid dying eyes
You gotta face it head on
So you can’t turn this thing around
Cos this ain’t right
You have to go eye to eye
Raise your face to the sky
Cos this ain’t right
I got to believe when I say
Only this is the way 

TEMPORARY PEACE 

"Temporary Peace" lasts for about 6 minutes, remaining 12 minutes are : 
hum of waves (recorded during the sessions for "Judgement", 
"John`s speech", silence, hidden track "In The Dog`s House" (look below) 
Deep inside the silence staring out upon the sea
The waves are washing over half forgotten memory
Deep within the moment laughter floats upon the breeze
Rising and falling dying down within me
And I swear I never knew, I never knew how it could be
And all this time all I had inside was what I couldn`t see
I swear I never knew, I never knew how could be
All the waves are washing over all that hurts inside of me
Beyond this beautiful horizon lies a dream for you and I
This tranquil scene is still unbroken by the rumours in the sky
But there`s a storm closing in voices crying on the wind
The serenade is growing colder breaks my soul that tries to sing
And there`s so many many thoughts when I try to go to sleep
But with you I start to feel a sort of temporary peace
There`s a drift in and out
Drift in and out
Drift

IN THE DOG`S HOUSE 

hidden track at the end of the album (recorded for laughs)
Tilted just a bit to the wrong side
earlier you can hear John`s "speech" 
Mother Mary your tea`s in the oven
My head`s got caught in the red tape
Voodoo sunset, morning Jesus
Marilyn Manson just fell over
Cos his dress got caught in his high heels
Twist the world upside downstairs
It`s all about the shouting
And all I need is you
But you don`t know it`s true
Morten Harkets` brand new go cart
Foul mouthed and smelling of onions
Lost my keys and I can`t get in now
Fine day for a queen she union
And all I need is you
But you don`t know it`s true
