Hey I never should have come in hear
but I couldn't help myself something drew me in
Im lying on the floor again its a cold and old feeling comin back to me
-and Im out of my mind
and Im out of my head
and Im out of control
lost my self my soul
-Im out of control were do I find me 
out of control were do I go
turning in my head I want you out of me I want you out
you wont wake up I cant wake up
-Im feelin like Im so afraid
you remove my skin you peel away
show me were it hurts I ll caress your soul
and Ill draw it out for you to see.

In to myself I crawl its the odyssey the one with out the sun
and in this nightmare nothing seems to be what it should
and if I could just capture a little light maybe I could get back
to a sense of me
-wake me up from this nightmare of dust Im in the odyssey of me 2x
-as I travel down step of my life gone by does it have to keep
reminding me of what I am and what Ive done
-and all my self through the empty cold embrace
is were I will find an end to what is all of me through the odyssey
-wake me up from this night mare of dust Im in the odyssey of me 
break me up into a million pieces in the odyssey of me
-as I travel down steps of myself gone by does have to keep reminding me
of what I am what I'v done what I cant seem to remember a 
sense of being a sense of alive
inside Im feelin closed in scratching a night mare scared and trembling
a cold embrace Im alive Im alive wake up.

3. NEAR TO NOWHERE

If you think the way the mind settles in a finite
raisin the wave and Im beyond all inside of my world
-when Im in hear Im near to nowhere I can feel I can sense it all around
and the sound that it makes it moves me were I can feel Im at home Im nowhere
I am home
-Ill be all right Ill be feeling fine
Ill wallow in an inkwell of fear and its hear that I want to stay

4. THE BOMB (Iran to Pakistan)

now they've got the bomb give praise to all your gods
they cant wait to explode it any excuse will do
-and now they wait to end it god of the end and creation
I search to find an exit god of the end embrace me
-yah they fly in there machines all systems checked and a diagnostic
bow your heads and say a prayer this is the end 
now they've got the bomb
- revenge and retribution is what they seek to achieve
but in the vile sensation they will fail in all to appease
-now they've got the bomb there worshipping the sacred rat
now they've got the bomb they have thousands of starving children
eat those rats you fuckers

NOTE: This track was missed on the CD jacket.
  
Its just how I left it all broken and collapsed in me 
I never want to face it the ugliness of what we've done to us
-for the longest time I sensed it a world of hostile fields
sorrow and a lack of compassion all woven into us
hopeless and complacent are we cant see past history
on a fait that was made to falter and we're just waiting
-killing just in vain and the minds are so confused there's nothing to loose
collapsing
-its set to implode yah all the world is is collapsing
-oh the after math in predictions it tells us of our demise
no green earth no humanity ah ah its Armageddon
so we devise a means to survive it on a rocket ship they escape
our only hope and chance for mankind and there just waiting.

I did it for me and you did it for you
and then you disappeared I must have disappeared to
I searched the sky that wonders by
God already helped me try nothing in the face of reason  why
-were did you go I hear the laughing in the distant wind
were did you go the world of echo
-your in the sky your a thousand times wide
you dream the day and fly in the night
your in the sky I fear this loss so the willow weeps
-I just want to dream of the sky

7. NEED

cant reach in I can't reach out I held it in side Ill fight you to get free
in my head its in the way subliminal entity is the force
-I don't need it I don't need my world with you 
-caught up in a mind field I cant break free of me
drowning yah in a liquid vile you r so vile
deeper into my psyche enters I concentrate Ive got to get you out
confrontation in my brain you contemplate and then I wash me of you
-I don't need it I don't need my world with you I don't need it I don't need my world with you 
when Im sinking down Iv got only you to blame for it
you tie the rope around don't make a sound

8. ON A MISSION

Bottle neck Im warpin into phase yah
and there's your colors in the space I fly
take apart the energies that make it
I see your supernova yah Im really goin
make it in Orion beaming in a light field
your vision so serial
cluster happy sampled viles in a suitcase
I collected them and try and forget
-Ill be here forever floating in this never
ending sea of star me and Im never home
-Im not there Im on a mission
I got away I got away into tomorrow
I did a vile and now Im feelin fine
cut me up and cut the sun into a million
a sea of me Im floating Im so high
yah Im ripen through the space and time hole
Im on my way back just a few more stars
happy ending happy thoughts of realizing
that Ill see you in a hundred years.

I press the gas the smokin wheels Im burnin burnin up the road and the world
seduce it all in this slow motion locomotive light
-ya realize in my eyes you always you always your hypnotized by the fire light
-Im your invader hear to save her Im your invader hear to save her
I bring the lust illuminate intoxicate the world a hundred years 
divine seed injecting the rivers of life
