Dust and Shadows (For Renee)
I can feel you here with me
Why can’t you just let me be?
I’ve tried so hard to hide
From all the lives I’ve ever known
These tears will they never subside?
I can’t leave the path that you’ve shown to me….
Here I sit, it’s always the same
I held your hand till the end
Your fading light drowned by this pain
Why leave me now, my only friend?
Talking to the darkness, where no one can hear
Screaming at the shadows, as you appear
Another night lost through the memories of you
You left me here, what am I to do
Why can’t you just let me be?
Your shadow, it fails to comfort me, can’t you see
Why can’t you just let me be?
Here I sit, it’s always the same
Your fading light drowned by this endless pain
Forever tied deep within you'll see
Your shadow falls I feel you with me
Dust across this frozen wound, forgive me my sin
And set me free, past no measure and
Why can’t you let me be?

RISE Pt.1 (For John)
It’s not up to me to design society
I see the edges burn, as I drift through this insanity
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words
Why must I be here, beneath the fury and the noise
When all I need to feel is the freedom of my choice
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words
Arn’t they all the same, complicit in their evil games
The purest sign of shame, letting others take the blame
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words
While I count the days and look around me for a sign
When tomorrow comes, the fools are running out of time
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words
Ease up your mind our time will come
It’s all the same with your deeds undone
Make no mistake, for it won’t be long now
Our peace holds the key, you’ll see somehow
Absolution is what we’re sold
A goal, so elusive, we're striving for
The need to know that all is right
When everyone, everywhere see’s the light
Understand, it’s not long now
Our peace holds the key, you’ll see somehow
Rise! On your feet, protest the signs you see
Now or never, it’s not too late
Drown the noise from the streets
Science says all is right
You can’t fear what you can’t see
It’s not up to me to design society
I see the edges burn, as I drift through this insanity
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words
We’re so sorry, we really didn't know
Thought we heard it somewhere, surly we were told?
Someone once said, you just gotta grow
Yet somehow, we just can’t recall
Like old times, long before the fall
You can’t fear what you can’t see
We’re so sorry, we really didn’t know
Thought we heard it somewhere, surly we were told?
Someone once said, you just gotta grow
Yet somehow, I just can’t recall
Like old times, long before the fall
You can’t fear what you can’t see

Umbra (For Diane)
Do all you can as night seeps through the sky
Brief darkness falls as rays of the sun die
Across the ancient world, the people ask why
Modern cities empty and oceans will rise
Are you watching now?
Through the clouds so perfect it shines
You will see a circle lights up the day
Time stands still as the others like to say
Fragmented ends lead to another way
Are you watching now?
Outer reaches we live on the edge
Follow through to new unknown ends
Drawn between without words spoken there
Doubt cast to the wind there’s no despair
Watching, waiting for the sun about to shine
Moving closer to align, across the sky
The shadows form the circle deep within
And the inner wave, it stays through to the end
If this then that, flames cannot escape the trap
And the dying light, it closes the gap
Are you watching now?
Outer reaches we live on the edge
Follow through to new unknown ends
Drawn between without words spoken there
Doubt cast to the wind there’s no despair
Watching, waiting for the sun about to shine
Moving closer to align, across the sky
Hiding between the shadows frame the distant source
To this end, to free the light and set a new course
Outer reaches we live on the edge
Follow through to new unknown ends
Drawn between without words spoken there
Doubt cast to the wind there’s no despair

Currents (for Mark)
All we are, On your satellite
All we are, On your satellite
Sometimes we feel the currents runaway
A sign – clear, the ties are gone
Not to be so lost, but for a while
Forgotten by none who choose to decide
All we are, On your satellite
All we are, On your satellite
But you, you’re not alone as we try to see
Your wavelength across the sky
Decoded, we hear your laughter thru the doorway
The darkness, offset for a while
All we are, On your satellite
All we are, On your satellite
All we are, On your satellite
All we are, On your satellite
The record plays and focus fades
We’re at a loss, the signal can’t be replaced
On the outside looking in
You propagate then elevate
So I’ll stay, On your satellite
So I’ll stay, On your satellite
All we are, On your satellite
All we are, On your satellite
Can we follow the signs?
On the edge, we see…..

Double Down (for Allan)
Boxed in, that same old sin
Longing to break free, always
Reaching for a different way,
Retracing another lost day
Another gig to play
Smoke filled the room
Peace came and none too soon
In that familiar place, I can see your face
Your cause and effect
Well, what did you expect?
That bitter taste, no time to waste
That love you love to hate
Another round, silence the sound
It always follows you
Time belies that sick inside
A reminder, you’ll never find her
Across the street, escape the scene
Just long enough, fun till, the bottle speaks
It never lies, you hope to get by again and
You know it’s true
Double down for double pay
Got to shine for one more day
The people came, can’t stop now
One of a kind, please take a bow
Digging deep, between the folds
Can’t repeat, it’s not the same old melody
You will see
Smoke filled the room
Peace came and none too soon
In that familiar place, I can still see your face
Your cause and effect
Well, what the hell did you expect?
That bitter taste, no time to waste
That love that you just love to hate

Midnight Sun
As far as the eye could see
From the horizon to infinity
Static forces down the line
Connecting voices talking rhymes
Can’t decode nor can define
The signal perfect indicates a sign
I never saw before
As far as the eye could see
Are there black clouds moving over-head
Feels like rain, the air is warm
Getting ready for the storm
But the atmosphere is cold
All the eyes are turned towards the sun
Midnight Sun, guiding light
Take the eye, go skimming across the sky
Midnight Sun, guiding light
Take the eye, go skimming across the sky
As far as the eye could see
Communications were all down
Connecting voices in the air
New formations moving sound
There came what I could not explain
I felt a hand, turned around and saw a face
I never saw before
Midnight Sun, guiding light
Take the eye, go skimming across the sky

Excellent album, that can be compared favourably to later It Bites and Lonely Robot.
