Listen to the voice that speaks
Without idea or thought
I knew that I could hear it
So I've never gotten caught
Paint my face and show my name
Hide reason from you all
I'd played the part so well
that you'd forgotten that I'd fall
Keep me safe and keep me warm
Keep me from losing sight
Keep me from dreaming same old shit
From night to night to night
I can't think and I can't feel
The way I always was
Hold back the tears and show no fear
Shake and I dissolve
I never had it, I'm bleeding from it,
I never had it, I'm aching for it,
I never had it.
The Deepest Wound
I never stayed, I never left
I'm always in your heart
Another thought, another dream
That's tearing us apart
I found no gain, the pressure held
It's breaking at the seams
One on one, we held the sun
Your laughter turns to screams
You're next to me but far away
I brought what I had sold
See the noise and taste the smell
It burns when I turn cold
Melt the bricks and drink the fire
Discover my insides
My Insides turn to outsides
when I left it all behind
I never had it, I'm bleeding from it
I never had it, I've never lost it
I never known it
The Deepest Wound.

All that I've known
All that I've felt
Everything I've been through
Everyone I've met
Never, ever knew
What it's really like
To hold in the one hand
Believe in the right
Take my wounds
Patch them up tight
Discover my pain
And cure it tonight
One stolen kiss
That cuts like a knife
Scrambled my feelings
Straightened my life
Time has sent me away
Face to face, don't ever stray.
Don't ever...
You never seem to notice
when I know it's right
I've made my decisions
I'm leaving here tonight
Please stop crying
This river of tears
I have to be with her
And spend my life near her
One more time
Look in my eyes
Melt my soul
And say our goodbyes
Break my fall
Keep me safe
And tell everyone
They won't see me again
I can only make it
When the time is right
There's only one future
And it's looking so bright
GIve me all the riches
That life can bring
Open up to me
And you can show me everything
The moments tick away
More than most
I'm clearing out my closet
Like some homeless ghost
GIve me all the memories
Of this lonely taste of life
Cure me of this nightmare
Is the end in sight?

A silver pendant's just the gift
To show you how I feel
It shows you I'm committed
and my feelings are for real
It's hot in here, I need some air
Not much inside this room
I know it's cold, I'll be OK
I'll come back very soon
You take a dive and realise
it's colder than you thought
You cannot breathe, your legs are numb
Your clothes have gotten caught
You fight to rise for air but find
That everything is screwed
She calls your name, you realise
There's nothing you can do

All my broken dreams
My final daylight scene
I slaved away my days
As the skin peeled away
I tried to hold my own
When they stood on me
Take me to a place where the pain fades away
The insanity breaks and I fade to grey
So as I lie back in the water
Why fight it anymore?
The night decides to grin
as the pain begins
I scream across the air
But no-one's answering
I think of my sister
What will she grow to be
I say goodbye to my mother
What must she think of me?
Thrashing and turning
Bleeding and burning
Dark and alone
Flesh, Water and Bone
I can hear you cry but I can't see the sky
From the water above me, it will not free me
As I find my way down

I don't want to be found

Cross out everything you know
And I will tell you how
How to think and how to breathe
Do you understand me?
You only know what you are told
And I will tell you now
You're not the one that you think you were
The one you were has gone
My face pushed to the floor
By force and without gain
As the city around me screams so loud
It blows my ears right off my head
Suffocate from the inside out
My skin is turning blue
The doctor comes to comfort me
To trust that I can't trust you
Bound by the knowledge that you're trying to kill me
I can send you to hell
It's just a bond of mutual distrust
But it suits me well
My blood drips to the floor
It pools like fallen rain
My cries for help are a bitter defeat
As I let it all go like the skin from my feet
The lights that blind my opened mind
Will you tend to my wounds
The men in blue will be here soon
The secret is no proof
No time to lose, no rights to prove
Nowhere left to go
You vultures pick the meat from my bones
I - prey. You - leave me alone.
I'm laid out on the floor
Struggling for breath again
I don't trust you but I know I need you.
So I do what I'm told.

The Doctor (2020 Mix)

As I squat and I squirm
I live in fear of a life returned
I see the memories don't belong to me
I broke out this shell so I can see
A time and a place for me to breathe
And watch the nights roll into fear
I hold what's mine so you'll keep yours
Please, please, help me.
Cure me of this disease
I keep falling inside of me
Promise me safety
From all these blinding dreams
What can I do? Anything for you
I scream until I turn blue
My blood boils through
And I'm all yours for you to use
You're kicking me around this room
Until I find I'm broke in two
Until I find I've found the need
To be released
One little voice to change my life
One little voice to tell my soul
To burn it all right to the ground
To walk alone and find myself
Amongst the bone of memories
To separate this afterlife
Seems all this time it wasn't me
Crying tears in fear of fear
The purest of the pure
Won't save me now
Someone bring the remedy
The remedy to save this day
And after all that I have done
It seems that I'm not anyone
It seems that I'm not anyone.
Anyone?

As it grows, I'm burning.
Throw me some water let me soak it up
I'm shaking in fear. Looking through blinded eyes
A strung out mind
Scared to think a single thought
Closed the doors.
Everything has blown apart.
Break my skin, with your needle
Tattoo my soul, tell my story
Now in a whole new world of pain
Both your hands upon my reins
Just leave me to die again
Beads of sweat
I'll hold them in with a stronger vice
My tangled veins
Keep me away from the knives and the forks
A misplaced sound
Fills my head as it hits the ground
My sonic dreams
I wish I'd never heard that sound
Feeling dizzy?
Time to make or break my day.
Hello to you. When did I come across your hate?
Your burning fire perished in the light of day
I'm slowly fading
And served up to you on a silver plate.
In my dreams it was a different story
Love and life and happiness
Another sits all alone
Waiting for the thing that's best
A mother is born before her child
We all walk in single file
Bygone times and spoken minds
Nobody knows what he's left behind.
And worlds away, he fades away
Tomorrow's gone and turned it's back
No help for him, he lives in sin
Left to dream in white and black
He's frozen into one pose
As every heartache never mends
The final page of this forgotten tale
Is this the way his story ends?
Damp rises in the night
Misty streets became his home
Wind and rain stood in his way
Living life all on his own
More and more, time ticks away
Moments come, they never stay.
Another song, another day
Written down as he slips away
|

From the deep dark pits of my insanity
I sit waiting for you to come for me
I swear I recognise you
From something shiny I used to know
It's said beneath this second skin
Lies a person free of sin
And although I think they lied to me
There's nothing else I can believe
They said I died, they say I'm dead
Visions of this run through my head
Beneath the soil they piled on me
I wash my hands until they bleed
Deep beneath this destructive hue
Lies a person of virtue
Who wants to see the light of day
And preys to no-one again and again
I lost my faith in the human race
With visions of strange, familiar faces
I cannot place this silver chain
It seemed I'd never see it again
Disinfected and Abused
Remorseful and so confused
Would I have died if I'd not used
The line that delivered me from truth?
Just another corpse, just another day
Just another corpse, just another grave
You tell me so many stories
Of battles won and your glory
Pay to play and nothing's free
Your ignorance astounds me
Poised upon a knifes' edge
It's nearly time for supper
But eating your own flesh
It seems is just the beginning
And he smiled as he finished his supper
Safely fed and ready for bed.
Never mind the bloodstains on your sheets
That's what comes of eating raw meat
Knives and forks
Knives and forks
Knives and forks
I broke so many hearts
And slit so many throats
All for the pleasure of pain
And the remorse that I'd feel
So soon it will be your turn
To lay upon the bed I made
And when the fire burns me
I'll laugh so hard I explode
Wait for your turn in the sun
As I crush your time away
The fight for my life is over
And all that's left is my cold blood
The habit of eating my fill
Has come to haunt my nights
When will you see over this?
When I throw you to the wall?
From the deep dark pits of my insanity
I sit waiting for you to come for me
I swear I recognise you
You're a person I used to know
I guess it's time to shed this skin
And find the one that lies within
And hope that what we can see
Is something more than fantasy
But worlds away a telephone call
Breaks her from pictures on the wall
She turns to face her brother's end
And realised all this never happened

Hide reason from you all

that you'd forgotten that I'd fall

Keep me from dreaming same old shit
From night to night to night
I can't think and I can't feel
The way I always was
Hold back the tears and show no fear
Shake and I dissolve
I never had it, I'm bleeding from it,
I never had it, I'm aching for it,
I never had it.
The Deepest Wound
I never stayed, I never left
I'm always in your heart
Another thought, another dream
That's tearing us apart
I found no gain, the pressure held
It's breaking at the seams
One on one, we held the sun
Your laughter turns to screams
You're next to me but far away
I brought what I had sold
See the noise and taste the smell
It burns when I turn cold
Melt the bricks and drink the fire
Discover my insides
My Insides turn to outsides

I never had it, I'm bleeding from it
I never had it, I've never lost it
I never known it
The Deepest Wound.

(Instrumental)
iv. Leaving Here Tonight
All that I've known
All that I've felt
Everything I've been through
Everyone I've met
Never, ever knew
What it's really like
To hold in the one hand
Believe in the right
Take my wounds
Patch them up tight
Discover my pain
And cure it tonight
One stolen kiss
That cuts like a knife
Scrambled my feelings
Straightened my life
Time has sent me away
Face to face, don't ever stray.
Don't ever...
You never seem to notice
when I know it's right
I've made my decisions
I'm leaving here tonight
Please stop crying
This river of tears
I have to be with her
And spend my life near her
One more time
Look in my eyes
Melt my soul
And say our goodbyes
Break my fall
Keep me safe
And tell everyone
They won't see me again
I can only make it
When the time is right
There's only one future
And it's looking so bright
GIve me all the riches
That life can bring
Open up to me

v. Worlds Apart
Time has sent me away
Face to face, don’t ever stray
Heart and mind brewing numb
I never thought it’d be this much fun
Silence breaks this lightning pace
As my seed is sewn in some fertile place
Can I find the answer page?
Worlds apart, we collide in space
vi. Breaking Water
A silver pendant's just the gift
To show you how I feel
It shows you I'm committed
and my feelings are for real
It's hot in here, I need some air
Not much inside this room
I know it's cold, I'll be OK
I'll come back very soon
You take a dive and realise

I played the part so well
Through every corner of hell
Every night I’m asking for sleep
Empty dreams and endless repeats
As I sing this hollow melody
I’m missing the first part of me
Chest as tight as a wire
Reminiscence turns into fire
Let me go, there are many things I must see and do
A world of opportunity is there for you
A life of your creation now comes to an end
The last lamented goodbye to a friend
Let me go, there are many things I must see and do,
A world of opportunity is there for you
To alter your reality, a belief you suspend
The time has come to finally transcend
Dig deep enough, heal the wounds
No silver pendant can change this tune
Like a mother consoling her child
With a face that no longer smiles
Was all of this just the foundation
Of a life so suddenly taken?
As silence takes its place
Worlds apart, we collide in space.

It seems that I'm not anyone.

As it grows, I'm burning.
Throw me some water let me soak it up
I'm shaking in fear. Looking through blinded eyes
A strung out mind
Scared to think a single thought
Closed the doors.
Everything has blown apart.
Break my skin, with your needle
Tattoo my soul, tell my story
Now in a whole new world of pain
Both your hands upon my reins
Just leave me to die again
Beads of sweat
I'll hold them in with a stronger vice
My tangled veins
Keep me away from the knives and the forks
A misplaced sound
Fills my head as it hits the ground
My sonic dreams
I wish I'd never heard that sound
Feeling dizzy?
Time to make or break my day.
Hello to you. When did I come across your hate?
Your burning fire perished in the light of day
I'm slowly fading
And served up to you on a silver plate.
In my dreams it was a different story
Love and life and happiness
Another sits all alone
Waiting for the thing that's best
A mother is born before her child
We all walk in single file
Bygone times and spoken minds
Nobody knows what he's left behind.
And worlds away, he fades away
Tomorrow's gone and turned it's back
No help for him, he lives in sin
Left to dream in white and black
He's frozen into one pose
As every heartache never mends
The final page of this forgotten tale
Is this the way his story ends?
Damp rises in the night
Misty streets became his home
Wind and rain stood in his way
Living life all on his own
More and more, time ticks away
Moments come, they never stay.
Another song, another day
Written down as he slips away

From the deep dark pits of my insanity
I sit waiting for you to come for me
I swear I recognise you
From something shiny I used to know
It's said beneath this second skin
Lies a person free of sin
And although I think they lied to me
There's nothing else I can believe
They said I died, they say I'm dead
Visions of this run through my head
Beneath the soil they piled on me
I wash my hands until they bleed
Deep beneath this destructive hue
Lies a person of virtue
Who wants to see the light of day
And preys to no-one again and again
I lost my faith in the human race
With visions of strange, familiar faces
I cannot place this silver chain
It seemed I'd never see it again
Disinfected and Abused
Remorseful and so confused
Would I have died if I'd not used
The line that delivered me from truth?
Just another corpse, just another day
Just another corpse, just another grave
You tell me so many stories
Of battles won and your glory
Pay to play and nothing's free
Your ignorance astounds me
Poised upon a knifes' edge
It's nearly time for supper
But eating your own flesh
It seems is just the beginning
And he smiled as he finished his supper
Safely fed and ready for bed.
Never mind the bloodstains on your sheets
That's what comes of eating raw meat
Knives and forks
Knives and forks
Knives and forks
I broke so many hearts
And slit so many throats
All for the pleasure of pain
And the remorse that I'd feel
So soon it will be your turn
To lay upon the bed I made
And when the fire burns me
I'll laugh so hard I explode
Wait for your turn in the sun
As I crush your time away
The fight for my life is over
And all that's left is my cold blood
The habit of eating my fill
Has come to haunt my nights
When will you see over this?
When I throw you to the wall?
From the deep dark pits of my insanity
I sit waiting for you to come for me
I swear I recognise you
You're a person I used to know
I guess it's time to shed this skin
And find the one that lies within
And hope that what we can see
Is something more than fantasy
But worlds away a telephone call
Breaks her from pictures on the wall
She turns to face her brother's end
And realised all this never happened

Listen to the voice that speaks
Without idea or thought
I knew that I could hear it
So I've never gotten caught
Paint my face and show my name
Hide reason from you all
I'd played the part so well
that you'd forgotten that I'd fall
Keep me safe and keep me warm
Keep me from losing sight
Keep me from dreaming same old shit
From night to night to night
I can't think and I can't feel
The way I always was
Hold back the tears and show no fear
Shake and I dissolve
I never had it, I'm bleeding from it,
I never had it, I'm aching for it,
I never had it.
The Deepest Wound
I never stayed, I never left
I'm always in your heart
Another thought, another dream
That's tearing us apart
I found no gain, the pressure held
It's breaking at the seams
One on one, we held the sun
Your laughter turns to screams
You're next to me but far away
I brought what I had sold
See the noise and taste the smell
It burns when I turn cold
Melt the bricks and drink the fire
Discover my insides
My Insides turn to outsides
when I left it all behind
I never had it, I'm bleeding from it
I never had it, I've never lost it
I never known it
The Deepest Wound.

All that I've known
All that I've felt
Everything I've been through
Everyone I've met
Never, ever knew
What it's really like
To hold in the one hand
Believe in the right
Take my wounds
Patch them up tight
Discover my pain
And cure it tonight
One stolen kiss
That cuts like a knife
Scrambled my feelings
Straightened my life
Time has sent me away
Face to face, don't ever stray.
Don't ever...
You never seem to notice
when I know it's right
I've made my decisions
I'm leaving here tonight
Please stop crying
This river of tears
I have to be with her
And spend my life near her
One more time
Look in my eyes
Melt my soul
And say our goodbyes
Break my fall
Keep me safe
And tell everyone
They won't see me again
I can only make it
When the time is right
There's only one future
And it's looking so bright
GIve me all the riches
That life can bring
Open up to me
And you can show me everything
The moments tick away
More than most
I'm clearing out my closet
Like some homeless ghost
GIve me all the memories
Of this lonely taste of life
Cure me of this nightmare
Is the end in sight?

A silver pendant's just the gift
To show you how I feel
It shows you I'm committed
and my feelings are for real
It's hot in here, I need some air
Not much inside this room
I know it's cold, I'll be OK
I'll come back very soon
You take a dive and realise
it's colder than you thought
You cannot breathe, your legs are numb
Your clothes have gotten caught
You fight to rise for air but find
That everything is screwed
She calls your name, you realise
There's nothing you can do

All my broken dreams
My final daylight scene
I slaved away my days
As the skin peeled away
I tried to hold my own
When they stood on me
Take me to a place where the pain fades away
The insanity breaks and I fade to grey
So as I lie back in the water
Why fight it anymore?
The night decides to grin
as the pain begins
I scream across the air
But no-one's answering
I think of my sister
What will she grow to be
I say goodbye to my mother
What must she think of me?
Thrashing and turning
Bleeding and burning
Dark and alone
Flesh, Water and Bone
I can hear you cry but I can't see the sky
From the water above me, it will not free me
As I find my way down
|
||||
33. |
||||
|
When I'm gone, release me
Let me go
I have many things to see and do
I don't think you've noticed
I don't want to be found
|
||||
34. |

Cross out everything you know
And I will tell you how
How to think and how to breathe
Do you understand me?
You only know what you are told
And I will tell you now
You're not the one that you think you were
The one you were has gone
My face pushed to the floor
By force and without gain
As the city around me screams so loud
It blows my ears right off my head
Suffocate from the inside out
My skin is turning blue
The doctor comes to comfort me
To trust that I can't trust you
Bound by the knowledge that you're trying to kill me
I can send you to hell
It's just a bond of mutual distrust
But it suits me well
My blood drips to the floor
It pools like fallen rain
My cries for help are a bitter defeat
As I let it all go like the skin from my feet
The lights that blind my opened mind
Will you tend to my wounds
The men in blue will be here soon
The secret is no proof
No time to lose, no rights to prove
Nowhere left to go
You vultures pick the meat from my bones
I - prey. You - leave me alone.
I'm laid out on the floor
Struggling for breath again
I don't trust you but I know I need you.
So I do what I'm told.

As I squat and I squirm
I live in fear of a life returned
I see the memories don't belong to me
I broke out this shell so I can see
A time and a place for me to breathe
And watch the nights roll into fear
I hold what's mine so you'll keep yours
Please, please, help me.
Cure me of this disease
I keep falling inside of me
Promise me safety
From all these blinding dreams
What can I do? Anything for you
I scream until I turn blue
My blood boils through
And I'm all yours for you to use
You're kicking me around this room
Until I find I'm broke in two
Until I find I've found the need
To be released
One little voice to change my life
One little voice to tell my soul
To burn it all right to the ground
To walk alone and find myself
Amongst the bone of memories
To separate this afterlife
Seems all this time it wasn't me
Crying tears in fear of fear
The purest of the pure
Won't save me now
Someone bring the remedy
The remedy to save this day
And after all that I have done
It seems that I'm not anyone
It seems that I'm not anyone.
Anyone?

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 25 fans who also own “230503 (Deluxe Anniversary Edition)”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.
