STEVEN WILSON LYRICS

1. To The Bone


Hold on
Down and deeper
Down we're going
Way down to the floor
Oh, don't you wanna see what's at the core?

Truth is the icy clear stream we dream about drinking from
But it will liquidate liars should they rewire its smiling bomb

Hold on,
Down and down and down and down
We're melting down their throne
Oh, down through every superstition,
Virgin, whore and crone
Hold on,
Down through all the fear gods to the very truth alone
Oh, down and down we're going to the bone

Truth is the permanent path we laugh about, but then avoid
Thinking we all know the way, we stray behind, self-destroyed

Hold on
Down and down and down and down
We're drilling through their stone
Oh, down through every fairy story built to keep us prone
Hold on
Down through every government with gun and guided drone
Oh,
Down and down we're going to the bone

Rain on me
Rain on me
To me
To me
To me

Rain all the truth down
Down on me
Rain down so much you make a sea
You make a sea
A sea we can sail then sink like a stone
Down to the truth
Down to the bone
Down to the bone

Down were going
Way down to the floor
Oh, don't you wanna see what's at the core?


2. Nowhere Now


Six feet underground, we move backwards now
At the speed of sound, we are nowhere now

Too much time to kill, too much wasted ink
Too much everything, there's no need to think

Here above the clouds
I am free of all the crowds
And I float above the stars
And I feel the rush of love
Looking down at Earth
It is luminous observed

We had every chance but we never learn
We just make it worse, what we don't deserve

The principle of love has no meaning here
'Cause if you don't adhere, better get out while you can

Here above the clouds
I am free of all the crowds
And I float above the stars
And I feel the rush of love
Looking down at Earth
It is luminous observed


3. Pariah


I'm tired of weakness
Tired of my feet of clay
I'm tired of days to come
I'm tired of yesterday

And all the worn-out things that I ever said
Now it's much too late
The words stay in my head

So the day will begin again
Take comfort from me
It's up to you now
You're still here and you'll dig in again
That's comfort to you
It's up to you now

So pariah you'll begin again
Take comfort from me
And now I take comfort from you

I'm tired of Facebook
Tired of my failing health
I'm tired of everyone
And that includes myself

Well, being alone now
It doesn't bother me
But now knowing if you are
Well, it's been hell you see

So the day will begin again
Take comfort from me
It's up to you now
You're still here and you'll dig in again
It's comfort to you
It's up to you now

So pariah you'll begin again
Take comfort from me
It will take time

Don't you worry don't worry about a thing
'Cause nothing really dies
Nothing really ends


4. The Same Asylum As Before


Are you proud of all your failures?
Are you dragging mother nature down?
You believe you have dominion
So you force your lame opinions
On me and my eggshell mind

Waking up to see through you
We'll all disappear in the same asylum as before
Make it up, you always do
It's tough to live here in the same asylum as before

You have your inspiration
In control and domination, yeah
You represent the people
But you don't believe in freewill
For me and my eggshell mind

Waking up to see through you
We'll all disappear in the same asylum as before
Make it up, you always do
It's tough to live here in the same asylum as before

The same asylum as before


5. Refuge


Here in the wreckage the winter is hard
I sleep in the same clothes that I drag through the mud
And if you ask me, nothing's changed
There's nowhere else I can go, so I stay

We're writhing rats, we make beds in the straw
And then we build houses, paint our names on the door
And if you ask me again, is this life?
I don't see I have a choice, but I still smile
And bide my time

I who have no roots and nowhere to go
And as for the future, well I really don't know
But if you ask me, I will nod
But if you ask me...
Here I am

My dear wife and my children of god
The borders were already drawn for us
Hold on to life in this refuge of dirt
And search for a place you can breathe again
It's not a crime

I'd love to see you again sometime soon
But will you give back to me now what you stole?


6. Permanating


Somewhere on the highway
With the luminous moon
Swimming after dark
And then awakening to you

Hold on
Hold on to the minute and sing it
And live it
It's always there
Hold on
Hold on to the minute and feel it
Believe it

Time is moving on
And listening to this song
We get older together
And every time we breathe
Another moment leaves us forever
To the never

Hold on
Hold on to the minute and sing it
And live it
It's always there
Hold on
Hold on to the minute and feel it
Believe it

Permanating
Celebrating now
Levitating high above the clouds
Yesterday is a place where all your friends will always (be)
Permanating
Celebrating now
Levitating high above the clouds
Yesterday is a place where all your dreams are always

Time is moving on
And listening to this song
We get older together
And every time we breathe
Another moment leaves us forever
To the never

Hold on
Hold on to the minute and sing it
And live it
It's always there
Hold on
Hold on to the minute and feel it
Believe it

Permanating
Celebrating now
Levitating high above the clouds
Yesterday is a place where all your friends will always (be)
Permanating
Celebrating now
Levitating high above the clouds
Yesterday is a place where all your dreams are always

Hold on
Hold on to the minute and sing it
And live it
It's always there
Hold on
Hold on to the minute and feel it
Believe it


7. Blank Tapes


All that I know is you'll be gone before I get home
I'll break a butterfly on a wheel before I let go

Nothing left for us
Nothing is left but the blank tapes
Nothing left for us
Nothing is left but the blank tapes in your car

Once I could hold you and the world reflected back at me
We lost perspective on the things that are and love that seems

Nothing left for us
Nothing is left but the blank tapes
Nothing left for us
Nothing is left but the blank tapes in your car


8. People Who Eat Darkness


I live in the flat next door
And I can hear you fuck your girlfriend through the wall
But the only thing we share
Is the slightest nod as we're passing on the stairs

But behind the closed doors
The bees will buzz inciting me to war
You're penitent maybe
But it's really not your fault you fail to see

We who eat the darkness

I take out the trash at night
And on Thursdays I go shopping for supplies
I walk my son to school
And I seem to have the same problems as you

But what you will see
Are the threads of what I want you to believe
And all that you hold dear
Is under threat from someone all too near

We who eat the darkness

Well you lost control and your kids became confused
Among the powder kegs with nothing left to lose
So now your chickens are coming home to roost

Do you think the fight is real?
Do you feel my teeth are snapping at your heels?
You who tell me how to live
And you feed me with your poison 'til I'm sick

Pretend that we're not here
If you look the other way we disappear
We want you to ignore
The people who eat darkness from next door

We who eat the darkness

Well you lost control and your kids became confused
Among the powder kegs with nothing left to lose
So now your chickens are coming home to roost


9. Song Of I


I'm truly sorry but...
This is my addiction
You're deep in my system
In my system

I gave it all up
I gave it up to show you that I care
To show you that I could
But don't you ever ask me to give up you

I gave up all the late nights
I gave up haunting bars
I gave up all the drinking
And trashing all the cars

I gave it all up

I gave up all the gambling
I gave up picking fights
I gave up saying "sorry"
I gave up being polite

I give it up
I give it all up

I give it up
you're in my
I give it all up

I give it up
you're in my
I give it up

I give it up
I give it all up

I give it up
I give it all up

I give it up
You're in my
I give it up

I give it up
You're in my
I give it up

T'es sous le sable
T'es dans l'eau

I give it all up
Give it up

J'abandonne

You're in my

You're in, you're in my
I give it all up
You're in my
You're in my


10. Detonation


Great God, I don't believe in you
But still I will do what you want me to
Stand up and fight in the city streets
This much I know you expect of me

And ones who are given it all
The good looks, the wealth, and the charm and the innocence
They are all gonna fall
But I will take it back

Pale God, I had a dream of you
And how you respond when your ego's bruised
They laugh and sneer 'cause they know you're weak
But I'll make them pay with an I.E.D.

And ones who are given it all
The good looks, the wealth, and the charm and the innocence
They are all gonna fall
But I will take it back

Whining God, who the fuck are you?
Detonation for the greater good
Swim here, come and hear my heart
'Cause when the world breaks you will feel the blast


11. Song Of Unborn


It's not what you'll possess
It's how you will express
The essence of you

It's not the wage you earn
It's about the things you learn
And the love that you feel

It's not what you'll conceal
It's all that you'll reveal that will make you be you
The perfection of you

Now the shadows are long and the cities are lost to rain
And when you wake up every day to find nothing's changed
But before you can speak you will learn that it's all the same
And the dreams that you will have are public domain
And the country lanes are decked with the time to come

It's not the years you pass
It's about the moments that last
Forever in you

Now the shadows are long and the cities are lost to rain
And when you wake up every day to find nothing's changed
But before you can speak you will learn that it's all the same
And the dreams that you will have are public domain

Now the time that is gone doesn't matter to anyone
When the country lanes are decked with the time yet to come
Well, the world is exhausted, the wreckage is all around
But the arc of your life could still be profound

Don't be afraid to die
Don't be afraid to be alive
Don't be afraid to die
Don't be afraid to be alive
Don't be afraid
