Surface To Air Lyrics By Threshold

i am me i am real free to take part, in the game
but i don't qualify i never helped to write the rules
and if you see me acting strange please don't hurt me with your scorn
i will not comply it's been the same since i was born

the wisdom of the mystics is the devil's own disguise
his fingers flick the tarot deck keep weak ones mesmerized
what twisted minds would hide behind the cult of living death
man and nature so defiled white dove with hawkish head

what a true man feels defines the world's disease
after centuries his blindness can't be healed

the disappearing sands of time are leaving us no trace
what deity would best describe the mighty human race
has vanity dressed up our god in likenesses of man?
when selfishness and greed and lust are all we understand

what a true man feels defines the world's disease
after centuries his blindness can't be healed

i can't philosophize with you when you don't see the things i do
you don't think beyond the fringe of this tiny world you're in
see me dancing on clouds hear me thinking out loud
true believers, jesus freakers, heaven in your hand
self relying, sanctifying, help me understand
eye of the needle, free the people in the desert land
meek inherit, they won't share it, rulers of the sand

Oceanbound Lyrics By Threshold

every time i try to climb a mountain
all i find are steeper ones ahead
every time i walk along the highway
all you do is push me to the edge
i'm not afraid

let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head
won't deny my one devotion lose or win cos i'm not scared

the higher up you build your walls around me
the higher i discover how to fly
i'm not afraid

let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head
won't deny my one devotion lose or win cos i'm not scared

i know the truth of my conscience and i know the lies of my sign
i know how it feels to be wanting and i know of the fullness of time

i feel a storm across my face as night is falling
and i can't see to carry on
i know the emptiness of space can hear me calling
but i don't know what lies beyond

i dream of a world without shadows and i dream of a day without pain
i long for perpetual motion and i dream of living again

every time i try to climb the mountain
nothing in the world can pull me down
i'm not afraid

let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head
won't deny my one devotion lose or win cos i'm not scared

Eat The Unicorn Lyrics By Threshold

give me a place to stand and i will move the world
give me the right to speak and see my flag unfurled
the gods of war and the generous whore
give me life in this tinsel town
but the shit i eat and the people i meet
make me want to bring this curtain down

in the night time the shadows fall and i retire to lay down
the twisted chains and losses and gains of war
it's the right time to speak in rhyme of the fire gods that lay down
read between all the shadows i've seen and more

i am falling down closer to the ground
(give to me your fairest deeds)
teardrops are rising
tell me where you're bound i will follow now
(i am he your fairy steed)
teardrops are falling

nightmare is coming and i hear the drumming
of demons in the night
the space where my heart was is claimed by the servants
of my subconscious flight
the wings that i fly on are taking me into
the underworld tonight
where i perceive all my wildest dreams where i
bring them all to life

all that stands before breaking human lore
(i'm your wildest fantasy)
teardrops are running

nightmare is coming and i hear the drumming
of demons in the night
the space where my heart was is claimed by the servants
of my subconscious flight
the wings that i fly on are taking me into
the underworld tonight
where i perceive all my wildest dreams where i
bring them all to life

unicorn so wild and free, balm my eyes carry me home
teardrops are drying

nightmare is coming and i hear the drumming
of demons in the night
the space where my heart was is claimed by the servants
of my subconscious flight
the wings that i fly on are taking me into
the underworld tonight
where i perceive all my wildest dreams where i
bring them all to life

Keep My Head Lyrics By Threshold

i'm doing the best that i can everything is going to plan
if only i can keep my head tonight
so when i feel the hardship start i'll try not to take it to heart
i only want to keep the end in sight

if only i can keep my head when everyone is losing theirs
if only i can trust my heart when doubting minds are everywhere
if i can keep my eyes in focus everything will turn out fine
if only i can keep my head tonight

if only i can keep my head when everyone is losing theirs
if only i can trust my heart when doubting minds are everywhere
if i can keep my eyes in focus everything will turn out fine
if only i can keep my head

i'm doing the best that i can everything is going to plan
if only i can keep my head tonight

Virtual Isolation Lyrics By Threshold

we long for a place of constant perfection
where action and outcome have exclusive protection
like in a dream of the waking mind
life with a freedom that is so hard to find
i cannot dream no more, my mind is a blank

virtuality, electrons running round my brain
virtuality, cybersex without the pain
virtuality, life can never be the same
virtuality, rock and roll without the fame

i am wired into the electronic drain
my mind is part of a gigantic mainframe
melding my consciousness with input so profound
relying on program for every sight and sound
i cannot dream no more, my mind is a blank

virtuality, electrons running round my brain
virtuality, cybersex without the pain
virtuality, life can never be the same
virtuality, rock and roll

cd rom drive me far away
hard discoveries in hyperspace
don't delete me i am no sprite
girlfriend's fat agnes chip burning bright
i have immersed myself in the isolation tank

virtuality, electrons running round my brain
virtuality, cybersex without the pain
virtuality, life can never be the same
virtuality, rock and roll

Round And Round Lyrics By Threshold

Can't rely on reality
Things ain't what they appear to be
When you visit please don't forget
The fragile mess of this nervous wreck

Who of you feels he's been here before?

Now I've been here twelve times or more
Life's becoming a bit of a bore
If the ceiling speaks please don't complain
He might just make me go back, round again

Who of you feels he's been here before?

Round and round and round again

The first million years
They were the worst
The second million years
They were the worst as well

Please don't ask 'cuz I can't explain
Why I keep coming back again
Maybe it's 'cuz when I roll the dice
I never get to throw "afterlife"

Who of you feels he's been here before?

Round and round and round
