Track Lyrics
Panopticon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rise! Love is here
Oh don’t make me wonder
Life’s never clear where choice is a gift
To use and abuse
To build on proof
Oh don’t make me suffer
Birds find the wind and wing
Rest in the shells I’ve designed
Run through the fields I’ve denied
And stroll upon the years I’m alive
[Chorus]
There’s a sun that shines in
There’s a world that stares out at me
And all I refuse to please
[Verse 2]
Breathe! Love is air
Oh don’t make me suffer
To dash debonair where chaste is the wish
To bust with pain
A heart goes blank
Oh don’t make me wonder
To ask on behalf of you
Of you, where are you?
Of you, of you, where are you?
[Chorus]
There’s a sun that shines in
There’s a world that stares out at me
And all I refuse to please
[Chorus 2 / Outro]
There’s a sun that shines in
There’s a world that stares out at me
And all I refuse
And all I’d ever use in me
There’s a sun that shines in me
There’s a sun that shines
There’s a sun that shines in me
Violet Rays Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Faithless moors
Pulling up your oars
From rivers I have crossed
In magic no heart's lost
[Chorus]
And I'll leave with anyone this night
And I'll kiss anyone tonight
Am I the only one you see?
Raised from the path of revelry
[Verse 2]
Spells fall frail
Webs catching sail
In eternal eternities
Divine purpose catching free
[Chorus 2]
And I'll leave with anyone this night
And I'll kiss anyone tonight
Am I the only one you see?
Seized from the wrath of revelry
[Bridge]
Am I the only one you see?
Does love matter when loves the actor
For what you are after is me
Babe, don't leave me, please believe me
'Cause I'm so easy to know
[Chorus 3]
Am I the only one you see?
Raised from the path of revelry
Am I the only one you see?
Oceania Lyrics
5 ContributorsOceania LyricsNo one can love you, 'cause no one can free you
Lovers can’t touch you, 'cause lovers might reach you, yeah
I’m so alone, so alone
But better than a wretched world, better than a broken pearl
I’m so alone, so alone
But better than I ever was, better than a just-laid cause
Night may keep you sworn
May bring you storms, from chest to stern
The journey’s blessed; the warning's circumspect
With dreams I’ve had..with dreams I’ve had
And still she’s gone..and still she’s gone
Night will fill your rest, negate your best
With dreams I’ve had..with dreams I’ve had
Oh, would I follow you?
How could I have ever doubted you?
Sweet baby, nurture me
Sweet lady, if you please
Try the way on me..try the way on me
Try the way on me..just try the way, on me
Skirt the cliffs of your illusion
Find the faith on me
My mistake as the last remaining soldier
Was to take the place of you
Love the way..love the way and learn
Try the way; cast off your indecision
Face-to-face, we breathe
Try the way; cast off your indecision
Face-to-face, we breathe
The Chimera Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fairy tales and time in whales
Substitutes for sin
It takes some life to find the light within
Whistle past the lane lover
Whistle past the lane
Cause love’s forever strange
Nestle on the moon, sunshine
Nestle on the moon
Should you hear that faint murmur
Of what love might do
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Seven stars that shine
In my mind, oh my mind
I’ll take you with me where I climb
In my mind, oh my mind
[Chorus]
And if I’m wrong I’m right
I’m never gonna lose you
If I’m wrong I’m right
Take me to your life
[Bridge]
Summertime’s the only child
Summertime’s the only child this night
You want to brace the golden fool
Let’s make this right
[Verse 2]
Nightengales and nursery crimes
Twins that spark the charts
It takes some trust to find a trust apart
Whistle past the lane lover
Whistle past the lane
Cause love’s forever strange
Nestle on the sun, starlight
Nestle on the sun
Should you hear the faint murmur
Of what love has done
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Seven stars that weep
In my sleep, oh in my sleep
I’ll take you with me where I keep
In my sleep, oh in my sleep
[Chorus]
And if I’m wrong I’m right
I’m never gonna lose you
If I’m wrong I’m right
Take me to your life
[Outro]
All you need is you, lover
All you need is you
All you need is you, lover
So please need me too
What you need is love, stranger
What you need is love
When your love needs its danger
Please let me through when I’ve got you
Glissandra Lyrics
2 ContributorsGlissandra LyricsFallen lovers and useless friends
Must you glare?
As life uncovers our unions pulled threadbare
Pleasure taps it’s vein
I’ve been hungry and I’ve been full
And I’ve been sated some more
I used to know what for
I used to know
All hours look the same
I used to know
What a wish was for
Magic plumes my soul
Pyramids for sale
Full moons on the rail
Pipers play for dawn
Hypnotized, unwind these lines around my head
What’s left for me to leave for you unsaid?
You can’t fill with dread
I’ve been hungry and I’ve been full
Molten at the spoke
I used to know what for
I used to know what for
La-la-la-la-la…
A pluck on spiders strings
Gutters form the stars
Children cry out proud
As embers blast my heart
Broken where I’d stop
I used to know
What a wish was for
I used to know
What a wish was for
Stolen like a lark
Flicks on tender wrists
Abuse the modern mind
Crush on what you’ll find
La-la-la-la-la…
