1. god of denial / the code
memory the deepest part of me the bare anatomy the magic alchemy that never dies that’s crystalised
time just echoes the desires
loneliness another part of this the metamorphosis there’s no way out of this are you surprised that it really hurts
the universe was here first
the god of denial riding high he’s the king of the world
the atmosphere of fear
the god of denial riding high he’s the king of the world
the atmosphere of fear
anecdote the stories never told data overload the maelstrom is sold and paralysed
it’s modern life
my Facebook page isn’t mine
infinite the inner synthesis the never ending twists the paradox of throwing it away
in disarray
the tower of babel isn’t mine
the god of denial riding high he’s the king of the world the atmosphere of fear
the god of denial riding high he’s the king of the world the atmosphere of fear
1b. the code
don’t be scared we’ll find a way
we can break break the code
unlock the code
unlock the code
as long as we hold the code
don’t let go
the memories will show you the love you found before
memorise the code remember how it goes

3. 22 layers of sunlight – lyrics by Peter Coyle
the yellow bleached flowers
are everywhere
and i’m afraid of everything
all my life is wasted
at the edge of thoughts and feelings
22 layers of sunlight
and your brain’s linked up
to the world wide web
just let your higher consciousness unfold
and let the data flow
how would i survive on my own
without the connectome
i can’t resist the mass hypnosis
without anywhere to go
22 layers of sunlight
and your brain’s linked up
to the world wide web
just let your higher consciousness unfold
and let the data flow
22 layers of sunlight
(and your brain’s linked up?)
to the world wide web
just let your higher consciousness unfold
and let the data flow
22 layers of sunlight
and your brain’s linked up
to the world wide web
just let your higher consciousness unfold
and let the data flow
22 layers of sunlight
and your brain’s linked up
to the world wide web
just let your higher consciousness unfold
and let the data flow
let the data flow
let the data flow

5. smiling forever – lyrics by Peter Coyle
that’s us in california
the cortex slaves
are dangling for you
the dead forests
the broken soil
the twisted roots in the sky
emotionally blind
can’t
can’t find the rhythm
repeat above (I took out the duplicate phrase for spacing room on the booklet, will but repeat etc)
that’s us in california
full of smiles
as long as we can keep the money
for miles and miles
the dead forests of sadness
are hanging above us
as our witness
emotionally blind
can’t
can’t find the rhythm
repeat above
i’m living amongst them
i’m sharing my pictures
i’m living amongst them
i’m smiling
i’m smiling
i’m smiling forever
i’m living amongst them
i’m sharing my pictures
I’m smiling
i’m smiling forever
emotionally blind
can’t
can’t find the rhythm
emotionally blind
can’t
can’t find the rhythm
i’m living amongst them
i’m sharing my pictures
i’m living amongst them
i’m smiling
i’m smiling
i’m smiling forever
i’m living amongst them
i’m sharing my pictures
i’m smiling
i’m smiling
i’m smiling forever
i’m living amongst them
i’m sharing my pictures
i’m smiling
i’m smiling
i’m smiling forever

6. butterfly suite - lyrics by Peter Coyle
just a blur on the horizon
with all that has gone
everything that we loved
has been burnt
we came here
the light
long ago
in a search for another world
don’t let go
the stars are bleeding
in the painting of my grief
there is no way
there is no way
don’t let go
in finding peace
and find release
don’t let go
and find relief
we are lost in a stranger’s world
nothing
is in this machine
except the tag lines
coming down the pipelines
i can’t hide
i’m in pain
every single day
there must be a way out
butterflies have been weaponised
white noise keeps us hypnotised
we’re not giving up – the masterpiece of your mind
we’re not going down – falling down every time
we’re not giving up – the masterpiece of your mind
we’re not going down – falling down every time
still don’t know – we’re not giving up
still don’t know – we’re not going down
what to believe in
still don’t know

7. sensual earth – lyrics by Peter Coyle
what would it be like?
the world’s in a dark space
delusions won’t die
the cortex slaves
mind control arranged
some way we’ll escape this
into the virtual world
sensual earth
inside your soul
kiss me
hold me
one last time
in our lives
kiss me
hold me
somehow we’ll find each other
i won’t give up
i’ll search through the networks
no doubt
we’ll be in a strange place
some way we’ll escape this
into the virtual world
sensual earth
inside your soul
kiss me
hold me
sunlight flows
inside the core
kiss me
hold me
spinning round and round and round
in the vortex of our souls
spinning round and round and round
in the vortex of our souls

8. gunshot lips – lyrics by Peter Coyle
dirty plastic noise
on your gunshot lips
staring at the rock face
of relentless risk
mining underneath the surface
my needs are far from perfect
you can see
all the pain
dripping out of me
pure pure
love love
dirty plastic noise
on your gunshot lips
anything but real life
on the cinema screen
give me entropy
make me feel the need
pure pure
love love
pure pure
love love
you’re shaking like a leaf -dirty plastic noise
in this complexity -on your gunshot lips
dirty plastic noise
pure pure
love love
dirty plastic noise
abstract bliss
dirty plastic noise
abstract bliss
on your gunshot lips
abstract bliss
noise noise noise
abstract bliss
dirty plastic noise
on your gunshot lips
dirty plastic noise
on your gunshot
on your gunshot lips
pure pure
love love

9. the ballad of broken hearts – lyrics by Peter Coyle
walking
walking past
kafka’s face on the wall
overhead
the vector’s hawks
see it all
you look up
as you shape shift
you’re leaving here
you prayed in tokyo
you forged papers in prague
it’s the ballad of broken hearts
satellites
are talking to the trees everyday
explain it
cutting through
we’ll find a way
to break all the rules
keeps raining
everyday
you look up as you shape shift
you’re leaving here
you prayed in tokyo
you forged papers in prague
it’s the ballad of broken hearts
the thought of losing you right now
i couldn’t take it
the thought of you not being near
would take away the colours
my words
my words are ghosts of hurt
is this what it feels like?
is this what it feels like?
drowning
is this what it feels like?
is this what it feels like?
every day – is this what it feels like?
is this all?
is this all i can hope for?
is this all i can hope for?
