In Absentia lyrics

A mother sings a lullaby to a child

Sometime in the future the boy goes wild

And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try

Something under the trees that made you cry

It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head

I got books that I never ever read

I got secrets in my garden shed

won't shiver in the cold

I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the dark

And I won't forget you when we part

Collapse the Light Into Earth

I won't heal given time

I won't try to change your mind

I won't feel better in the cold light of day

But I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay

Collapse the Light Into Earth

Open your eyes now

Hear me out before I lose my mind

I've been waiting for hours

Let the salt flow, feel my coil unwind

Give me a smile please

Count the calm and watch my breathing slow

Winding me up tease

Get inside my head and make it show

Gravity eyelids come down

Touching your oil skin

Slipping hands down past your waist to find

I've been waiting for hours

Paralysed

Lips of Ashes

Synchronised
Blue vein crashes

Touching you inside

Idolised

Black Eyes fading

You and I

Connection failing

I drill down inside

I pull off the road

East of Baldock and Ashford

Feeling for my cell

In the light from the dashboard

Hissing from the road

The smell of rain in the air con

Maybe check the news

Or just put a tape on

Lighting up a smoke

I've got this feeling inside me

Don't feel too good

If I close my eyes

And fell asleep in this layby

Would it all subside

I don't know whose side I'm on

I don't think that I belong round here

If I left the stage would that be wrong ?

I tried to find myself a better way

I got religion but I went astray

They took my money and I lost my faith

Rain keeps crawling down the glass

The good times never seem to last

Close your eyes and let the thought pass

I tried the capsule and I tried the smoke

This is my home, this is my own, we don't like no strangers

Raise the kids good, beat the kids good and tie them up

Spread it wide, my wife, my life, push the camera deeper
I can use, I abuse, my muse, I made them all

This machine

Is there to please

Strip the soul

Fill the hole

A fire to feed

A belt to bleed

Strip the soul

Kill them all

He captured and collected things

And he put them in a shed

He raised a proper family
So he could tie them to a bed

The creator had a mastertape

But he left it in a cab

I stared into the void tonight

The best dream I ever had

He worked himself into the ground

And drove a spike into his head

A voice said lAre you happy now ??

lYour sordid home is running red?

Hear the sound of music

Drifting in the aisles

Elevator prozac

Stretching on for miles

The music of the future

Will not entertain

It's only meant to repress

And neutralise your brain

Soul gets squeezed out

Edges get blunt

Demographic

Gives what you want

Now the sound of music

Comes in silver pills

Engineered to suit you

Building cheaper thrills

Train set and match spied under the blind

Shiny and contoured the railway winds

And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed

The hiss of the train at the railway head

Always the summers are slipping away

A 60 ton angel falls to the earth

A pile of old metal, a radiant blur

Scars in the country, the summer and her

Always the summers are slipping away

Black the sky, weapons fly
Lay them waste for your race
