SECURITY
(Music-Slager / Lyrics-Slager, Wardlaw)

I'm looking for security
but everywhere I look
just turns into obscurity

it's all inside you
the fear that blinds you

I'm thinking about security
cause everything I see
looks like my fear's eternity

it's all inside you
the fear that blinds you
you, you're looking for security
and all the tv shows
are pictures of impurity

it's all inside you
the tv lied too

you, you're looking for security
and all you seem to find
is lost in this absurdity

it's all inside you this love that finds you

LONELY
(Music-Slager / Lyrics-Slager, Wardlaw)

I know you are lonely,
I know that you want to cry

I know you are lonely,
I know that you want to die

once, I had a dream
I sailed within your eyes so blue
only the sea could feel as lost as I now do

I know you are lonely,
I know that you want to cry
so very lonely,
you don't know the reason why

love, I never dreamed
that love could make me feel so blue
only the sea could lose me like I'm losing you

DELUSIONS
(Music-Slager / Lyrics-Wardlaw)

clear cut the forests, burn all the jungles
dam all the rivers, kill all the whales
drain all the waters, flood all the deserts
build more casinos, larger golf courses
no contraception, or choice for women
more population, growing starvation
mindless religion, on television
war and diseases, pieces of jesus

the moon in your eyes (the knife in your mind)
the stars in your smile (the dark in your skies)
the moon in your eyes (the stars in your smile)
the stars in your mind (the dark in your sky)
the moon in your eyes (the knife in your mind)

profit corruption, needless destruction
angry and greedy, feed off the needy
more institutions, increase pollution
no restitution, and no solution

the moon in your eyes (the knife in your mind)
the stars in your smile (the dark in your skies)

torrents of fire, blazing desire
timeless emotion, endless devotion
lost in confusion, can't draw conclusions
mindless illusions, permanent delusions

ASSAULTED (PIECES OF JESUS)
(Music-Weber / Lyrics-Wardlaw)

I wake up in the morning
to a world of pain and hate
they say the savior's coming,
I say that he is late
bleed me dry of instinct,
bleed me dry of fear
emotions torn in anger,
emotions too sincere

pieces of jesus, don't tear my dreams apart
assaulted by religion, to live is not to start
christians hate the moslems,
moslems hate the jews
only hate is breeding
while they're kneeling on the pews

christians I know are full of unforgiveness
christians don't grow, they feed on prejudice
christians I know are full of contradictions
only believe when they want the shoe to fit

I wake up in the morning to a world of pain and hate
they say the savior's coming,
I say that he is late
I loved you once or so they say
but that was long ago
shall I love another god of this I'll never know

THE SALINE SOLUTION (BRINE)
(Music-Weber / Lyrics-Slager)

waiting for the morning sun.
racing for the water's edge

I know a place where the flowers aren't flowers
and the flowers are always in bloom
seasons will pass as the sun and the moon go by,
wanting to fly
backing on through to the land of dreams
where the reasons are given away
misunderstood from now 'til childhood
the circle of hoops remains

turn on the water when the old man's daughter
with the old maids looking away
seasons will pass
as the sun and the moon go by,
wanting to cry
backing on through to the land of dreams
where the reasons are given away
misunderstood from now 'til childhood
the circle of hoops remains

I know a place where the flowers aren't flowers
and the flowers are always in bloom
seasons pass as the sun and the moon go by
wanting to sigh
misunderstood from now 'til childhood
the circle of hoops remains

falling down into the ride
turning toward the tumbling slide
swerving through the hollows glide
kneeling down to get inside

turn on the water
where the flowers aren't flowers
with the old maids always in bloom
seasons will pass
as the sun and the moon go by
wanting to die
backing on through to the land of dreams
where the reasons are given away
misunderstood from now 'til childhood
the circle of hoops remains

TELEVISION
(Music-Slager / Lyrics-Slager, Wardlaw)

watch me when your feeling good
watch me when I say you should
watch me when your feeling blue
just the way I want you to

even if you should cry
I don't care if you die
even though you're hating me
I won't change, can't you see?

television is the way
I tell you what to say
you watch me every day
I'm never gonna go away

I don't care if I stink
if you watch, you won't think
sometimes I can make you blind
sometimes I control your mind

I don't have any fears
I don't own a pair of ears
channel surf the day away
riding on the fm wave

NOTHING
(Music and Lyrics-Wardlaw)

POSITIVELY NEGATIVE
(Music-Slager / Lyrics-Wardlaw)

Buried in corrosion
beneath this fragile crust
Light streaks through the shadows
and rain drops through the dust
Throw away this innocence
put away your trust
Just a bit of arrogance
can burn away this rust

The touch of skin it burns like ice
The thought of sin you pay the price
A kiss you say it never lasts
The dream lives on as time is passed

Drowning in illusion my fears begin to grow
Lost within anxiety as time begins to slow
Positively negative, darkened by the sun
Blinded by the shadows, more but only one

Anxious are the moments
alone within my mind
Drifting ever sadly
within the waves of time
Positively negative,
darkened by the sun
Damaged are my memories.......
but they're true

YOU ONLY DIE ONCE
(Music-Rumer, Slager / Lyrics-Wardlaw)

you only die once and so it seems
you thought you'd live twice
but that's in your dreams
you've been dead for years
you've always been lame
now evil appears
you're back in the game
they left you for dead
so don't be a dunce
they'll get you again
you only die once

WHY
(Music-Slager / Lyrics-Slager, Wardlaw)
(inspired by the woman who swallowed the fly)

I don't know why she swallowed the fly
I don't know why perhaps she'll die
tonight
she swallowed the fly to feed the spider
that wriggled and jiggled and bloated inside her
and got ripe
she had to try to find out why
she had to try
tonight
she had to try to find out why I don't know why,
all right

ANESTHESIA
(Music and Lyrics-Wardlaw)

I wish that you could understand
the way I feel the way I am
I wish that I could find a way
to tell you why I shouldn't stay

the days before have been the best
I wish that we could share the rest
I hope that only we can find
a love to share and peace of mind

take me to the places
where the shadows never fall
to a time that lasts forever
just beyond the curtain call
let me feel the moments
just as close as I can be
to the dawn I shall be with you
with the light that I can see

the pain I feel you could never know
from emotions I can not control
I wish that you could hold my hand
feel my love and understand

I've never shown how much I care
I walk away or stand and stare
I close my eyes and start to dream
of all the things I've never seen

wishing for the moments
when the sadness never dies
to a time that lasts forever
deep within your darkest lies
let me see the moments
where the shadows start to fall
in the twilight I'll be fading
'til there's nothing left at all

I've never been for long in love
never felt so high above
but now I must admit I do
for this I truly feel for you

take me to the shadows before it all began
to a place that's lost forever
within the master plan
beauty holds me helpless
and anger holds me still
sensing only echoes of the ever lasting chill

wishing for the moments
when the sadness never dies
to a time that lasts forever
deep within your darkest lies
let me see the moments
where the shadows start to fall
in the twilight I'll be fading
'til there's nothing left at all
