Revert To My Senses
Leave me alone to collect my thoughts
While I try to connect the dots
At times I feel so lost
I can't afford the cost
Of losing my vision
I know it sounds insane
Fact or fiction the hidden truth remains
I REVERT TO MY SENSES
TAKEN FROM CONSENSES
GUITAR SOLO
Take the elevator ascend to the top
There's no indicator that it's going to stop
I'm free to surrender to the choices I made
There's no warranty as my memory fades
I REVERT TO MY SENSES
TAKEN FROM CONSENSES
Surrounded in darkness
Emerged in pitch black
I dissolve into liquid and slip through the cracks
I'll wait till the light of day to make my move
Out of sight and out of mind
Change the picture on your screen
Adjust the constrast of your dream
It's like a curse or spell that I could never tell
And that's the end of this tale
I revert to my senses
I revert to my senses

The Manufacturers
Dark walk into the dark without a lamp
Don't click the attachment to that file
Don't surf the waves w/o a board
Don't make a purchase you can't afford
WE ARE THE MANUFACTURERS
FALL INTO THE FUTURE FOR BETTER OF FOR WORSE
STACATTO LINE
SOLO VERSE
Don't drive a car w/o a belt
Don't stop at the signal to scream for help
Don't sign a contract before your read it
Between the lies, between the lies
WE ARE THE MANUFACTURERS
FALL INTO THE FUTURE FOR BETTER OF FOR WORSE
LINE X2
We sell our products right off the shelf
Custom made components that are made in hell
Don't use the manual. The instructions are of no use
Just plug it into the wall
There is no excuse
Don't leap from plane w/o a chute
Don't dive to the bottom in a new suit
Turn off the microphone before you speak
Watch that levels do not peak
WE ARE THE MANUFACTURERS
FALL INTO THE FUTURE FOR BETTER OF FOR WORSE

Illusion Nation
Falling tears of rain flood the streets of the lonely
Winds of stillness, the leaves fail to fall
Blank portraits, empty souls
Falling deeper into the holes
Illusion Nation
Figures of our imagination
Where not everything goes as planned
Another place, another land
Stare into the empty glass
See your life flash before your eyes
Illusion Nation
Figures of our imagination
Where not everything goes as planned
Another place, another land
We live in dark times
Pulled down by currents
A blur of reality
Wake up from this dream now
Sickness takes another life -
that all of science couldn’t save
The spiritual seek answers like the food the starving crave

Artificial Society
Frowning eyes stare to the unknown
Talking in some broken tone
They file into the streets of the city
Not knowing what they are waiting for
Treasures lure unlikely seekers
It never occurred to them at all
That they were living in a land of illusion
Unaware that they might slip and fall
In this Artificial, Artificial Society
Where you see right through their plastic reality
Someone has a photo in their pocket
Waiting for the signal to change
Riding trains that go in a circle
Their destination has been arranged
There’s a man standing in the dark
A stranger with a video camera
The light is blinking off and on
It’s pointed in your direction
In this Artificial, Artificial Society
Where you see right through their plastic reality
In this Artificial, Artificial Society
Where you see right through their plastic reality
