SIKTH LYRICS

1. Vivid

Walking through this corridor, I need to
Somehow get back to my room
But I don't know where that may be,
Oh look there is an elevator
All looks the same to me
Carpets don't seem to change!
Walk in a room, yea it's dark and cold now
Something is not right
Quick now, all the doors look just the same to me
Oh look there is an elevator
Press the button now it's open
Take me to the top floor

I close my eyes
Try to sleep through the night
The peace I crave soon drifts away
Why do you choose to follow me this way?
Why can't you just leave me alone?

Walking through the corridors again
I start to shiver
Now I see a figure in the house
Now she is approaching me
What can I do for thee?
Can you find the bathroom?
Impossible mission
Where are we?
I thought you knew
Who the fuck are you?
Oh no!
Just keep on walking now, left, right, left right
Oh look there is an elevator
Press the button now it's open
Take me away from here

I close my eyes
Try to sleep through the night
The peace I crave soon drifts away
Why do you choose to follow me this way?
Why can't you just leave me alone?

Night terror let me be
Night terror let me be
Night terror, leave me alone

No I can't make it, think I need to wake up
A hall of mirrors,
Monsters on the ceiling
Why am I frozen? Emotional Dysfunction?
Run towards the brightest light
Do you know or are you guessing?
Where you may go, they follow thee
I run towards the light, but now I'm starting to fall
High in the sky, I need to learn to fly now
I try to flap and flap my wings
Wake up again screaming

Wake in light of day,
But nothing seems the same
In a world that grew estranged
Nothing seems the same

2. Century Of The Narcissist?

Consolidate as one.
Keep all your information in one place
Every walking day
Thoughts do collide
So what's right?
Your opinion?
Statistical position?
A million commentators wanna give you a reason
Consolidated tongue
Keep,
All your inspiration sinking in the sand

Voice recognition and touch ID
Another useless cunt! Reality TV
How far has it gone? And where will it go?
Tracking your bones on your mobile phone
Century of the narcissist?
Authentic talent will be dismissed
Is this the century of the narcissist?
Authentic talent will be dismissed

So plug in (Update.)
We need to know your everything (It's expired.)
So plug in,
Now we know you're everything
You're out of date

Do I ride against the tide
Or hop back on the wagon?
Get up to pace
The twenty first century
Saw the decline, still there's light
Beyond that drizzle
The saturation
The million commentators trying to get you to listen
Masters of the thumb
We can't all become
Let me think now

Voice recognition and touch ID
Another useless cunt! Reality TV
How far has it gone? And where will it go?
Tracking your bones on your mobile phone
Century of the narcissist?

So plug in (Update.)
We need to know your everything (It's expired.)
So plug in,
Now we know you're everything

Inter-connectible socialites
I see no mist, no stars
You have a choice to join the herd by that middle tree
This is where you can sedate yourself

In a maze of minds through circuit boards
What are we heading for?
Surrounded by anchors that cannot be raised
But I remember
Mystery seeping through my veins
Dream beyond tomorrow what path you should follow
Tell me now?
Calling all flowers to summon up your powers
Of the mind!
Keep your eyes wide open,
Don't fall into the sleeping maze

What have we now become?
How far will it go?
When will we start to put chips
Into our minds?
Now we can see the deterioration of man

3. The Aura

When you know the red in the fire of the light
You cannot settle for the shadows that dance through the night

I found myself in a forest clear, surrounded by wooden animals
A rallying call, a rallying call. Someone, please make some sense of all

The flower beings and all those I have known
Will I meet anyone like that again?
Can't predict the future
Wishing I knew what I know now, how so?

When you know the red in the fire of the light
You cannot settle for the shadows that dance through the night

I found myself deep within a dream
Holding my love so beautiful
Then I woke up, all alone
Trying to make some sense of all

The flower beings and how I must now grow
Will I meet any being like that again?
My eyes are always open
But my wings have not been well at all
Remembering her smiling in the rain
I said

When you know the red in the fire of the light
You cannot settle for the shadows that dance through the night

Now all the leaves have fallen
Sitting on a bench
Here in deep November
Midday rising, chattering away
I look into her deep brown eyes and remember
How it felt, when she flew away
But also when she walked into my life
Silly man kept looking round the corner
Then it all became too late

No, it didn't get any better, better
No not better than this
It doesn't get any better, better
See our eyes entwine
Now our hearts can shine
Now our skies align together
Well I rue the day
Yes I rue the day
Without words

When you know the red in the fire of the light
You cannot settle for the shadows that dance through the night

4. This Ship Has Sailed

Wishbone blankets and borrowed keys
Yearning to learn what's behind thee
Mystery trees and dying branches
Fragmentation, desensitisation, blacklit words without reason
Withering captains and web eyed generals
Battling statistical patterns of suppression
Are you in or out? Are you coming or going?
Are we on the same page?
Mind programmers, conjuerers of conformity
Leaving those who don't walk that way behind
They are on a rock without an oar
And this is sailed far, far away
At pace

5. Weavers Of Woe

This fear plants tears of misery
The profiteers, the mercenaries
Do you really know what you see, or is it all for show?
Why are we living in despair?

Knives and guns and bombs
Knives and guns and bombs
Knives and guns and bombs
It's the same old wrong

Like a monster as big as the moon
A formula in which they all consume

I now see the twisted legions lost in greed
And I see so many twisted demons on TV

Money makes their world go round
They weave their webs without a sound
Money makes their world go round
They weave their webs without a sound

The spiral twists into a seed
They shape the end for you and me
Paranoia some may say
But I know they are there, to my disdain

Humans of this earth
Why focus on path?
Have we not learnt a thing?
Why let those demons win?

Like a monster as big as the moon
A formula in which they all consume

I now see the twisted legions lost in greed
And I see so many the twisted legions on the street

Money makes their world go round
They weave their webs without a sound
Money makes their world go round
They weave their webs without a sound

I turned the news on, it was all bad.
Always seems to be
I ended up diving into a painting of a mushroom house with Technicolor waterfalls
The flower beings then flapped their wings
The clouds would glow and rained would sing
Then I fall right back to Earth oh, no!

Yea the bright is so bright now, but the dark is an end to all
You believe what you believe
And continue battling on through

[Paranoid voices]

I seen us falling, right now, I seen us falling, climb back now!
We need to climb back now! We need to climb back now!

Like a monster as big as the moon
A formula in which they all consume

I now see the twisted legions lost in greed
And I see so many the twisted legions on the street

Money makes their world go round
They weave their webs without a sound
Money makes their world go round
They weave their webs without a sound

6. Cracks Of Light

[feat. Spencer Sotelo]

I'm on top of a mountain above the clouds
I came here to find my smile again
I'll have to accept it's lost, lost in the cosmos
NO!
Well what are you gonna do now?

No light in the well
It's so hard to climb those slippery walls
You know you ain't got wings attached to your back
No light in the well
Wake up, it's not too late
You need to find a crack of light to follow

Below the wall of ice you go
It's gotten so dark it must be hard to see
It seems like you're falling further from yourself
You're not the one to feel this way

You got to find a way through
Remind yourself you can be strong,
Try and find a place where you belong!
Look you found a crack in the ice
Now you need to take control before it swallows you whole!

Soon enough I travelled through a tunnel underneath the sea
Went to a country new to my eyes
A beautiful lady comes into my sight
Try to converse somewhat,
Soon enough she tells me I have sad eyes and walks away

No light in the well
It's so hard to climb those slippery walls
You know you ain't got wings attached to your back
No light in the well
Wake up, it's not too late
You need to find a crack of light to follow

Below the wall of ice you go
It's gotten so dark it must be hard to see
It seems like you're falling further from yourself
You're not the one to feel this way

Not gotten out of bed for days now,
The pain, it's gone right to the bone
If you don't wake you may never be
Able to stand on your own two feet again

For all the waves of weeping wounds
For the days that came too soon

Searching for cracks of light!

Look you found a crack in the ice!
Now you need to take control before it swallows you whole
Look you found a crack in the ice!

7. Golden Cufflinks

Hear the rattling of the carriages again
While the wizards all wave their wands
Their golden cufflinks buying up the city now
They're gonna send a wrecking ball, wrecking
Cultures lying in pieces
As the leaves all start to fall
They got their diggers out
Bet all get used to the sound
They're gonna send a wrecking ball wrecking

The age of mercenaries
They sapped out energy
Insipid minds have won
Rapacious destruction

Endless digits so they can take control
Over tin pan alleys row
All those memories crashing into rubble now
They went and sent a wrecking ball wrecking
You say it's a city of the future
But a future in whose eyes?
So should I assume yet another bland street bloom
Guess it's what happens when business means business

The age of mercenaries
They sapped out energy
Insipid minds have won
Rapacious destruction

Always somewhere falls
Underneath the hands of the money men
Always somewhere falls
Into the hands of the banal

Yea the scene shone
Then it fell below
Just like creation
Golden eras come and go
And the scene shone
Then it fell below
Just like creation
Golden eras come and go

What are you hoping for?
I guess it's what you see, not what you want to be
What are you hoping for?
You will never even know who you really are
What were you hoping for?
I guess it's what you see, not what you want to be
What are you hoping for?

The age of mercenaries
They sapped out energy
Insipid minds have won
Rapacious destruction

8. The Moon's Been Gone For Hours

Surrounded by hands and faces
I'm clutching my baggage and ringing my bell of help
I don't think it will be heard
There are too many shuffling feet and shivering teeth
The moon's been gone for hours now
And her makeup needs reapplying
I wonder who she's with, or if she needs my help
Many a man surround her pockets
They only covert what is in her pockets
I clutch my luggage and stare fiercely into the wall
We are waiting for transportation, me and my luggage
A moving mouth has made contact
And the dust it looks friendly now
All the dollars I pay to one phone owning hand
Are well earned
It only makes me wonder where they go
Or what they do
And what lays beneath the dust
Under the eye of untrust
The badged and uniform wearing authoritarians
They are graced with notes from all sides of the world
And they seem to be in charge
But then I wouldn't know
The madness in this city glows
And my comfort in this chaos grows!
For we are taken care of well
And driven to and from our luxury shell
Machine gun man stands by the door, to protect us
I like it here, think I'll come back for more

9. Riddles Of Humanity

Are you the caster of shadows in light?
You're shackling their hearts
You're weakening their knees

Are you the master of what they should believe?
Projecting through the airways on everybody's screen

Call the captain!
Another mercenary
He went against eh social rules of this society
So walk the plank! (Yeah!)
Throw him overboard! (No!)
Wash his name in mud. (Yeah!)
Let him see who's in charge
Quick get a bucket, the water's coming in
You better be quick because the water's red,
We might just have to swim
The sharks are circling round, lapping up the fear
Could the black sheep of society now drown in his own tears?

Full moon
No need for flowers in your hair
Full moon
Broken beyond all repair
Walking like zombies
Hold on to our screens
Priming the poison
Swallow to conform

Fear and danger!
They got to plant the seeds
This vulture headed culture fed on negativity
Yes there is evil
And humanity is flawed
Is it getting worse? You tell me hope is now forlorn

Scandal mongers
Everywhere you see
They seem to thrive on the demise of every falling leaf
There is sinking sand
And underneath a pit
Of all the sunken dreams they have seen swallowed into it

For all the good that happens
And the magic of this world
Why do we not focus on positivity here first?
They're on another witch hunt, can't even be heard
The riddles of humanity
Seeking out to score

Full moon
No need for flowers in your hair
Full moon
Broken beyond all repair
Walking like zombies
Hold on to our screens
Priming the poison
Swallow to conform

Character destruction for the entire whole world to see
Make sure the main focus is on negativity
The riddles of humanity there's really nothing like it
Spinning round in circles trying to seep with in a wound
They are all wishing for the worst
Waiting for the bubbles to burst
Wishing for the worst
Waiting, waiting for the bubbles to burst
Casting shadows, shaping waves
The viscous circle spins around then falls unto the floor

Profiteers of misery
Why does it always turn out this way?
Profiteers of misery
Why does it have to be this way?

10. No Wishbones

Be aware! The circles of despair
Quickly, quickly try and run
Corner kings, the corner kings they come
The hordes of fear, their eyes are near
Weeping wounds, weeping wounds, wounds!
You gotta try and run, get out now!
Corner kings, the corner kings they come
The hordes of fear, their eyes are near

No questions asked

All alone, open palms
They tell you it's got to be this way, this way

Dusty paths by a canvas roofs
Waiting for the rain
The devil in him, the peril in you
Waiting for rainfall

Interlinked, silver palmed and armed
Aloof, aloof alliances
No wishbones, no wishbones, no home
This darkness in which such evil seeds are sown
Gun men come, to show them who's in charge
Secret servants of the golden palmed
Corner kings, the corner kings they come
The hordes of fear, their eyes are near

Looking through this tinted glass

All alone, open palms
They tell you it's got to be this way, this way?
All alone, open palms
They tell you it's always been this way, this way

Dusty paths by a canvas roof
Waiting for rain
The devil in him, the peril in you
Waiting for rainfall
When you look into their eyes
Waiting for rain
Too empty to even cry
The rain never fell

Looking through this tinted glass
The broken eyed vessels
Lost in repetition, from the day they saw dawn
No questions asked, they just carry on

Fear can turn to those tears into golden
The puppeteers
Art of manipulation
Pockets full of gold
Art of manipulation
Is what they sold

Lies
Darkness
Pure evil,
Vile!

Yea they're drinking cholera in their water
While they try to stay alive
Because there ain't enough water in the well
See my reflection
But who am I to say?
A spectator, just like you
A commentator, just like you
Why, why, why

11. Ride The Illusion

Do you need what you think you need?
Head first into the zombies feed
Keep on looking at the ground in front of you
You look like you're lost
Turn on your GPS!
Sign outside reads Happy Hours
But every face looks grey and dour
Underachieving and under exposed
Lacking any culture but the local sinking hole!

Ride the illusion, where did we flow to?
Waiting in a traffic jam
Why can't we get through?
Ride the illusion, ride the illusion!
What became reality?
Shells of dilution

We used to dream far beyond our reality
I used to see more happy beings

The riddles of suppression
Let your mind breathe
Riddles of suppression
Let your mind breathe
Can you not see beyond?
Do you dare to dream beyond?

Do you believe what you cannot see?
Or only what is shown through your TV
Keep on searching for a trend to smother you
You look like you're lost
Turn on your GPS!
Sign outside reads Happy Hours
But every face looks grey and dour
Authenticity falls into that digital hole
Now look at all that's happened in the stain on this world

Ride the illusion, where could we flow to?
Technicolor flower dreams
Why can't we get through?
Ride the illusion, ride the illusion
What happened to reality?
Ceaseless dilution

We used to dream far beyond our reality
I used to see more happy beings

I watched a DVD a friend gave me
Inspired by footage of the last one hundred years by the sea
And what I saw before my eyes
Scenes of effortless joy on their faces
Where's it all gone wrong?
Oh so connected, Internet-infected souls,
They don't know where to go
We're in a world of progress and decay
But which was may that be

12. When It Rains

Have you found love in this life?
Within yourself and outside
Can you see flower beings?
Can you see demons too?
Can you hear tomorrow's moon?
Do you think you came too soon?
Or belong in a previous decade, or century?
Do you often look to the past?
Do you wish the wind could take you back?
Do you like it when it rains in the summer,
Or when leaves fall and scarves come out?
Do you ever talk to the moon?
