DOWNLOADER:
When I consist of ciphers and ones / Of the word and the cursor
I can talk to anyone / I'm the role rehearser
But I cannot see her / It doesn't work that way
If you aspire to something higher, I'm the dream exploder
I will take what I desire / I'm the Great Downloader
But I cannot see her / It doesn't work that way
Talk to her everyday / But I can't download her
Is she real or is she not?
What an atmosphere she's got
Of the ether of the air, she's the fairest of the fair
How I wish I'd told her
Bet she's looking pretty good / I'd download her if I could
I'm the Great Downloader
Is she real or is she not?
What an atmosphere she's got
Of the ether of the air, she's the fairest of the fair
Bet she's looking pretty good
I'd download her if I could

SLEEPYHEAD:
She's half asleep and half awake / And won't get out of bed
What's wrong with her is wrong with me / She's just a sleepyhead
Try to save her from her slumber / Morpheus has pulled her under
Sounds just like the Third World War / It's loud enough to wake the dead
I thinly veil my metaphor / (And) gently try to wake my Sleepyhead
Try to save her from her slumber / Morpheus has pulled her under
Mesmerism was so easy / Now how can I wake up Sleepyhead?
Wake up Sleepyhead (Wake up)
Try to save her from her slumber / Morpheus has pulled her under
Mesmerism was so easy / Now how can I wake up Sleepyhead?
Wake up Sleepyhead (Wake up)

Dizziness (Studio Demo)

DIZZINESS:
Driving with my head out the window, I was hit in the head with a bird.
It didn't necessarily hurt much, but it was the strangest sound that I'd ever heard.
About an hour later, I drove back the same way.
I saw the bird was dead and I touched my head and I didn't know what to say.
About: Light, velocity and the pursuit of dizziness, the retreat from fear.
It's a tiny engine with fragile gears.
Did I wear out my welcome before I was ever invited?
Should my senses become an invincible barricade?
I can't tell if the colors around me are getting brighter, or if it's just me and I'm starting to fade.
Life! Velocity!
And the pursuit of dizziness, the retreat from fear.
What should take minutes is taking years.
Light! Velocity!
And the pursuit of dizziness, the retreat from fear.
It's a tiny engine with fragile gears.
The pursuit of dizziness.

WHAT I GET:
Way back before my suicide, when I was young and amplified...
What did I know?
What did I know?
"I think they all can go to hell," the angel said - and then she fell.
Just goes to show, just goes to show.
Then they start to roll the credits, but it's not over yet.
And I guess that's what I guess that's what I get.
"I am Priam, King of Troy. Achilles, please, I need my boy. We've got to put him in the ground."
"I know exactly how you feel. I also know about that hell. Better stop dragging him around."
Then they start to roll the credits, but it's not over yet.
And I guess that's what I guess that's what I get.
That's what I did.
And that's what I get.
It's nothing that I regret.
Then they start to roll the credits, but it's not over yet.
And I guess that's what I guess that's what I get.
Yeah, they roll the final credits, but it's not over yet.
And I guess that's what I guess that's what I get.

Hideous #1 (Live)

WHAT I GET #1:
Behind the eye of The Beholder / Lives someone darker, lurks something colder
Something hideous
It was ever thus
If you let me under your skin / Will I discover the beast within?
If I get down to what you're concealing / Then I'll see something I find appealing
Something hideous
It was ever thus
Hideous
Hideous
Ugly as sin
Five fathoms down, under your heart / Something is stirring up from the dark
Rising on up to the surface above / There's something about you, something I love
Something hideous
It was ever thus
Something hideous
It was ever thus
