D'you want to know how it feels to be a dragon? D'you want to know how it feels to be dragged in? D'you want to know how it feels to breathe fire? D'you really want to live forever? Would you really want to live forever? And I watched you burn within And I watched the sky fall in And I felt from within my frozen skin My heart melting The Never-Ending Flame Now you see how it feels to follow me in The several seeds of Original Sin These ashes turned grey and we sold the lamp D'you remember when we lived forever? D'you remember when we lived forever? And I would tear off the ends (I had to turn away) And I would watch you cry at night And I just lived to drip from the ceiling Be dragged across the floor and purged of feeling D'you remember when we LIVED? FEELING DON'T TURN ME AWAY Truth is, I thought you'd never leave I was trapped in a room with you And in the dark couldn't find the handle Was just trapped in a room with you Yeah, the candle was bright, but the air was too tight And I was trapped in a room with you You said "This doesn't feel right!" and "It should end tonight!" So what was I supposed to do? So what was I supposed to do? And I watched you burn within And I watched the sky fall in And I felt from within my frozen skin My heart melting The Never-Ending Flame Thought you'd never leave Trapped in a room with you Thought there'd be room to breathe Trapped in this tinderbox with you Maybe you just have to believe The world's not as cold as it seems I know ways to make it warmer Maybe it's not as cold as it seems Outside I know ways to make it warmer Outside Outside / To set this alight Let's set this alight Come on in, come on in, come on in There's still room enough for two Come on in, come on in, come on in I've opened up for you Come on in, come on in, come on in There's room enough for two Come on in, come on in, come on in See how I've opened up for you

SUMMER LIGHT 11:14
You're alone, yeah - you got another thing coming You're resigned, yeah - you got another thing coming You're a wretch, yeah - you got another thing coming And it's all "yeah" - you got another thing coming in Yeah Don't wanna get too high 'Cos I think this is gonna take me a while When the genome arrives When the venom tastes just right It's a cinema ride, we'll see by the screenlight It's within us all, be a kick to get wet But is it my right? To always win with a Royal Flush? How'd you get inside? Your... what's your delight? And the feelings inside? It's recording, but did you get that? I'm on a bit of a roll It's something like... Ah, yeah - stand back, you got another thing coming Ah, yeah - stand back, you got another thing coming Don't Push me out I'm feeling a ruse Don't Steal my shoes My feet are already sore When I feel your way gone wrong You can take a seat and go along In the meantime I'm gonna beat-bounce out of home And I heal it wrong And I heal it wrong But I heal it But I heal it Ah, yeah - stand back, you got another thing coming Ah, yeah - you got another thing Ah, yeah - stand back, you got another thing coming Ah, yeah - you got another thing Hey Hot Shot, when we gonna face off? Let's see if we can smooth, smooth, smooth things out And this chain? Well, never mind this chain I'm free 'til I pull it And I can pull it, I can pull it And I walk out the door Hot Shot, what's got you to fight? Is it another thing coming? Hot Shot, what set you off finally? Was it another thing coming? Brain-levy so wide To teach a piece of life And launch a veto wrapped in love Or so we'll say... And in front me : The Sea All before me The Open... And now I... I see you got another beast at bay It's just another game we play But Sucking's not Breathing, lover That's another way So am I to be bleeded, wounded, unheeded 'Cos I wasn't going to let you win? Am I to be muted, rooted, deleted? No? Then let me in And this dream Feels so real I don't know if I'm ever gonna wake I can't leave I believe In summerlight To play : "Draw the lines in the sand" They'll kick you, then leave you Sand?! The dust is in your eyes! Give me time to leave off I'm set alright I don't believe in Evil I'm set alright Reset my lever Set alright Let me get my groove on I'm set alright (Let me in) And this dream Feels so real I don't know if I'm ever gonna wake I can't leave I believe In summerlight I believe in summerlight So look at me And this dream Feels so real I don't know if I'm ever gonna wake I can't leave I believe In summerlight What's wrong with me? Why won't someone dance with me? Please, one last time Or I'm never gonna make it Stand back, stand back - you've got another thing coming Stand back, stand back - you've got another thing coming It's coming in Stand back

GAME OVER 08:04
So now you're old enough To finally hear the truth About where you came from Just in time To go back home Your Time Is UP Outside of tributes You're already complete So put away your symbols Wait and see I don't know the levels I don't want to set the scene I don't know the levels But I don't want to set the scene I don't know the levels I don't want to be deceived I'm a satellite I've realised I need air I can feel inside My nuclei And hope We'll leave aside We'll the see the generation Then fade Then fade Read the memory Then this soul has got to go This soul // I still believe in angels // I don't want to be deceived // We're running out of rebels And no-one No-one No-one can be denied You jumped right in You dove right in You couldn't resist You've got nice skin You've got a false smile So you can't fall in You're so far up You got lost in You've got nice skin You can't fall in It's all you know It's sealed you in It's overgrown It's in your heart And in your soul You've got nice skin You'll fit right in You'll fit right in You won't fall in You'll fit right in You won't fall in You won't fall in Until it begins You'll fit right in And then it begins Hold on to what you've got Turned off is what you're not Insane invites your claim to be But things are all you seem to see Mark out what you've got already Seeing low got you distance ready So hold on to what you'd like to be C'est la vie Seems like it's trying to drive me crazy Seems like it's gonna drive me round the bend Seems like it's gonna take me all the way Up and over Game Over // Am I gonna make it on my own? Looks like there's nobody home You left the light on Take me And I move towards the light Take me I move towards the light

No, I won't let you down No reasons have been found So I can't let you drown Alone Hold on a minute I've got a riddle for you If "Defeat isn't settled" Why does it seem like Life rushed by a little? I've got an answer for you I've got a wild tongue You can tell that I'm rattled I don't mind but When your foot's in the saddle You've got to ride, don't ya? Or watch the clouds just float away That's why I'm calling you out Calling you out The second face is known You've got the feeling down So you can let it out When there's no-one around You've got excuses honed And now you're running home To sit and face the storm Alone All the time Is it wrong to be alone with you? Or to want to be Or to want you I won't let you down No reasons have been found So I can't let you drown Alone Is it wrong-to-rights That lights your face Then erased then raised your flag and shit Is it "Fucked" or what that's got me up That's got you on your own I want to be alone with you What can I do? Let's be lonely together

DER GRUND 09:57
Have you seen my enemies sitting by the shore Waiting for me to drown? Have you seen my memories They're riding on the waves Watching me go down Have you seen my enemies? With friends like these Have you seen my enemies? Got me on my knees With friends like these With friends like thieves I'm miles away You may be right With solemn words We break this way out Way out It's all beneath the waves A solemn breath At sea, my friend It's always deeper than we think But maybe my ghost will live to rise again My God, I've found a reason Thank God, I've found a reason Don't you know we've all got to Push on through if we're to find what's true My heart is broken but don't love throw The only way left we've got is Through To live... The Second Son Is the Next In Line That's the only one you talk to That's the only place we got to The Second Son Yet I'm the only one Blind to the real light And now it's time to leave you And now it's time to leave you But don't forget your birthright Could it be just what it looks like? You can seek your vengeance alright But it won't help you win the fight Hey! We're the voices in your head We've come to give our piece We've come to give opinion We've come to tell you how NO! EVERYBODY OUT NOW EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK OUT EVERYBODY OUT NOW GET THE FUCK OUT Voices in my head Tell me it's too late Voices in my head Tell me not to fret Voices in my head Tell me I'm insane Voices in my head Make me guess what's next Voices in my head Watch the virus spread Voices in my head Want me to end it right now So don't waste your life Don't waste your life Time is running Time is running out So please don't waste your life Hold on

about

REASON TO LIVE
( Demo 2.1 // Vox Sketches )

For a band about opposites, "Reason To Live" shows the other side of the coin. This record features versions of previously instrumental tracks from "STATE OF THE UNION" re-interpreted with lead vocals, which has the strange effect of pulling the band's sound in a simultaneously more conventional and yet unique direction, and is released as the final output from "Incarnation One" of the band.

All endings are also beginnings... ;)
