Prologue - Nowhere Land Let me sing to you a lie You had to be there to believe Something I paid for with my life A place called Nowhere Land It’s a cautionary tale From which you may never return I’m sorry to the ones I love And anyone who learns I’m sorry to the ones I love And anyone who learns I’m sorry to the ones I love And anyone who learns of Nowhere Land —————————————————————— Dream Machine Sing to me a lie And I will follow you And I will fall asleep And I will fall asleep Tears will fill my eyes As you rock me off to Nowhere Land And I will start to weep And I will start to weep As you rock me off to sleep In your arms Dream Machine I’ve lost my mind Somewhere in the land of sleep Don’t know how long I’ll last Tangled in the webs you weave Dream Machine it’s not my time I know you don’t care how much I weep Oh no, don’t take my eyes! I need my sight, oh let me see Rock me Don’t you rock me You won’t take me alive Rock me Don’t you say you love me I know it’s a lie I feel weak, my eyes are gone My skin’s turned cold Am I asleep Don’t know where I began Don’t take my soul I’m in too deep Your nails are scratching the inside of my head! As I fall into a sea of gently rocking hands And soothing voices I don’t know if I’m alive or dead As I wash upon the shore As I wash upon the shore in high tide Hello! What have we here? I haven’t seen you around this place before Let me show you around dear Hello! What is your name? Don’t be fooled by your surroundings child This is no game This is no game Run! Run! Run! Run! I don’t know what I’ve become I don’t know what I’ve become Oh no Rock me, don’t you rock me You won’t take me alive Rock me, don’t you say you love me I know it’s a lie The Dream Machine will let me go in time Till then it whispers sweet nothings into My long-forgotten mind Till then it whispers sweet nothings into My long-forgotten mind You are too powerful to comprehend (You know here’s no way for you to return) I am a broken fool (You know here’s no way for you to return) You’ve come to fight it out till the end Well I’m not afraid of you! —————————————————————— What Occupies A Mind There’s nothing that isn’t What keeps is all together, my friend The thinnest golden spidery threads Spindle-spun corners and edges The fabric of time I used to be the man you see here Now blackened eyes and blank stare So pull a little closer if you dare Maybe you’ll find What occupies a mind There’s nothing that isn’t My horror turned to wailing As I was reefed apart by parting time Sorrowfully radiating out Into life After life After life I used to think so logically I thought I knew reality I used to think that I could see But I was blind No sense to hurt or hold onto Anything that I once knew Only thing that’s left to do Maybe we’ll find A way out of this mind My horror turned to wailing As I was reefed apart by parting time Sorrowfully radiating out From my mind To find a way out of this life After life After life After They plugged me in It powered up They dialled it to infinity Then time stretch out My mind fell in Dilated exponentially Then all I had to pass forever Every possibility Now I’ll never leave I’ll never leave I will never, ever leave I will never leave I will never leave I will never, ever, ever leave I will never leave I will never leave I will never, ever, ever leave I will never leave I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever —————————————————————— Know Relief When will this be over? When will this be over? I used to know I used to notice When my eyes had gone out of focus And I I used to feel And I could tell when My mind had gone out of rhythm With my heart From no relief To no relief From no relief To no relief How long must I stay? What price must I pay For all the things I’ve done? How long must I burn? When’s it my turn to finally Be at peace? When will I know relief? I used to speak No-one could hear me ‘Cause they all thought that I was crazy And now look at them run They all look tired But they can’t run from this great fire And now From no relief To no relief From no relief To no relief How long must I stay? What price must I pay For all the things I’ve done? How long must I burn? When’s it my turn to finally Be at peace? When will I know relief? When will this be over? When will this be over? When will this be over? When will this be over? —————————————————————— Still Longing Am I even here? Am I just a memory Of someone in a mind Of someone who’s asleep Dream Machine have you let me go? Who is the one called ‘I’? The one who was your enemy The one you sang to with a lie The one who sacrificed a life Who is the one who’s letting go? I cast my nets at the emptiness To find somebody I knew But all I find is myself still longing And if I let you go If I go back to Nowhere Land Let it all begin again For all this loneliness to end Will I remember why I started? So I’ll cast my nets at the emptiness To find somebody I knew But all I find in is myself still longing So I’ll cast myself at the vastness of time In the hope that I’ll find something true But all I find is myself still longing for you Yes, all I find is myself still longing Yes all I’ll drag in is myself As I unify Unify Unify Unify Unify —————————————————————— Not Afraid A hundred trillion years is a long time A hundred trillion trillion lifetimes To reconnect my mind I wish that you could see my eyes now And rue the day you ripped them out ‘cause I I can see you now And I will dress you down Yeah, I’m coming for ya! You are too powerful to comprehend (You know there’s nowhere for you to return) And I was a broken fool (You know there’s nowhere for you to return) And you’ve come and I know that you understand (You know that) I’m not afraid of you People too numerous to apprehend (You know there’s nowhere for you to return) You know you’ve lost them too (You know there’s nowhere for you to return) You’ve come And I know that you understand (You know that) We’re not afraid of you We’re not afraid of you We’re not afraid of you When This Is All Over When this is all over And there’s nobody there No-one to cheer Why do we do anything here? When this is all over No-one to care And all that we burdened to bear Why do we do anything here? Is that why embers flee the fire And soar on high To make time matter? How I grieve to still believe in time When this is all over Washed down the stream Of all of our dreams Why did we chose any of these? When this is all over And all our beliefs Gone with the breeze Why did we choose any of these? Is that why we both open fire, And kill, to die, To make life matter? How I grieve to still How I grieve to still How I grieve to still believe in life Somewhere There used to be a time when I could trust my senses Now all that I can know is that I am, and existence So into all that I can know is where I’ll go Into all that I can know is where I’ll go Into all that I can know is where I’ll go Here we are again A mighty stretch into the infinite Let it all unwind Reset the clocks into A hundred trillion years of time Farewell my love Farewell my life Farewell my mind Let’s see what we will find somewhere Where do we go now That even matters if it’s infinite? And if it’s all a dream, love Am I the dreamer or the dreaming? I give my life To find my love To free my mind Let see what we will find somewhere You think you want to know Until you know the price Be terrified to find (I hope you never find) What occupies my —————————————————————— Finale Out of the nothingness There was a something less Nothing than everything else That was nothingness There was an ‘I’ still aware of the difference So I decided to see what that something was Out of the something The faintest remembering Take care when setting this out Once you let it go There’s no way out And you’ll live every hour Of every moment Be rapture or agony So I let go with abandon And loving held it together The light and the darkness And out of the darkness Grew wondrous, marvellous Somethings of light That collided and turned into World upon world Into countless, most infinite Waves of experience All that grew out of this One single feeling That ached into being Then life after life We stretched out just to see what we’d find Now it’s everywhere, everything All that there is There is nothing that isn’t Not separate I am, and we are, and they are and everything All still colliding, expanding, discovering Joy into pain into love with no opposite Swung back and forth What it means to be part of this Knowing thy self as a point of experience Takes every angle forever That all that there is Round and round again Back in to Nowhere Land Roll out the dice Dive into the kaleidoscope Reefed into everything Pulled back to self again Pull back the trigger And fire into Somewhere Land Fire into Somewhere Land Fire into Somewhere Land Fire into Somewhere Land You are too powerful to comprehend Be not afraid of you Nowhere Land (I’ll go back to) There is so much everything here (There might as well be nothing) So what do I do when every last future’s (Already happening) Where do I go where I don’t know This weight of loneliness? Oh I’ll go back to Nowhere Land and dream Letting go Gets harder as you go When all that you have known Is all that you could know To find your teardrops in the rain To find your heart and heal your pain You’ll find it’s all one in the same You’ll find your dreams are wide awake You’re grasping at the wind again There is so much everything here (There might as well be nothing) So what do I do when every last future’s (Already happening) Where do I go where I don’t know This weight of loneliness? Oh I’ll go back to Nowhere Land And dream Where do you go When you’re wide asleep? Do you disappear? Or is it all a dream? You’ll find your teardrops ARE the rain You’ll find yourself and heal your pain You’re grasping at the wind again! There is so much everything here (There might as well be nothing) So what do I do when every last future’s (Already happening) Where do I go where I don’t know This weight of loneliness? Oh I’ll go back to Nowhere Land And dream ‘To be or not to be’ was never really a question Since Being is ground zero So the question is not ‘whether to be’ But ‘how’? Letting go - the only way to know We’re laughing at the wind! There is so much everything here (Still uncovering) So what do I do when every last future’s (Ours for for discovering) Where can I go? What can I know Before it’s time to go back? Where can I go? What can I know Before it’s time to go back? Where can I go? What can I know Before it’s time to go back to Nowhere Land? (I’ll go back to Nowhere Land) And dream There is nowhere that is nowhere And you know there’s no way out —————————————————————— Remember All I’ve built All I’ve done Ever after over Ever just begun Here I stand At the end At the beginning again As I walk through the light Surrender what’s mine Surrender my life And remember All that is All that was All that will be is here In our place Never left Nothing left to fear As I walk through the light Surrender what’s mine Surrender my life And remember Here we are Dearest friend Nothing’s really over Nothing really ends Here we stand Here embrace Here we are again As I walk through the light Surrender what’s mine Surrender my life And remember Surrender my life And remember (When you know all that could be known here) Surrender (It’s finally time to go home, dear) Remember (When you know all that could be known here) Remember That this was all a dream. ——————————————————————
