City of the Dead

On an ordinary Monday
On any downtown street
All the people are actors
No one you’d like to meet
Every exchange is scripted
Roles are often reversed
Even the improvisation
Is completely rehearsed
When you walk through
The city of the dead
This is the tune
That plays in your head
Took a left down a side street
And walked into another time
Modern buildings replaced
By echoes of 1939
Men in fedoras
Fading in and out
I drifted aimlessly amongst
The nebulous crowd
When you walk through
The city of the dead
This is the tune
That plays in your head
One day I saw your face
Reflected in a midtown window
Sunlight warming tempered glass
And the city came to life
I tried to catch up to you
But lost you in the crowd
When you walk through
The city of the dead
This is the tune
That plays in your head

All Systems Burn

Wires in the walls
Shadows in the halls
It's hard to breathe
It's hard to breathe
Your crime epidemic
Suspect mix up
Sleepwalk forty hours
Heatwave not enough
This fist mix strong
Get clipped half finger
Attack the nerve
Grab the knife
Get stuck in your side
Let me be your motivation
Let me be your private storm
Let be be your dark Narcissus
Let me be the one who's wrong
Tricky Violet
Oh Tricky Violet
How I long to see you again
Arriving leaving truly deceiving
We had our moment and now it's gone
All Systems Burn
Motorway hip sway
Counterculture compromised
Kerosine loop adder
Push baby burglarize
Flextime arc vague
Floodlight jump jibe
Grip yer face
Automatic jargon hypnotize
Let me live within your memories
Let me haunt you like a song
Let me be the one who leaves you
Let me be the one who's wrong
Tricky Violet
Oh Tricky Violet
How I long to see you again
Arriving leaving truly deceiving
We had our moment and now it's gone
All Systems Burn
There is too much damage
Not enough time
All Systems Burn
There is too much damage
Not enough time

The Future Never Came
05:08
|
|||
|
When I was younger, I watched from windows
Waiting for a future that sparkled like crystals
Bright and electric - every door open
I thought that time was on my side
I knew that time was on my side
But the future never came
And every day is the same
Standing by the same window
The days are shorter as I grow older
Drifting, snow falling in an endless cold winter
I grow impatient as every door closes
I thought that time was on my side
I knew that time was on my side
But the future never came
And every day is the same
The colors that you cannot see
Beckon like unheard melodies
The people you might have known
The days that will never be
But the future never came
And every day is the same

The Digital Divide
04:16

Talk to me in numbers
Talk to me in code
You don't need a reason
Just let it flow
Talk to me in fragments
Talk to me in dreams
I am an illusion
I am not what I seem
When you step across
The digital divide
I'll meet you
on the other side
This is not life
and this not death
It's a strange compromise
I remember sunlight
I remember rain
I recall the images
But it's not the same
I remember your hands
I remember your touch
Completely disconnected
I may go insane
When you step across
The digital divide
I'll meet you
on the other side
This is not life
and this not death
It's a strange compromise
