One

[Music: Matheos. Lyrics: Alder]

Under the spotlight
I feel our world becoming one
Around me I feel
Everything we are everything we see
I'll take a part of you
You take a part of me

Knowing at a glance
Where we all stand
Searching for another chance
To make us all one

Above the staring eyes
I sense that we are one
Knowing, showing
Everything we are everything we see
I'll take a part of you
You take a part of me

Knowing at a glance
Where we all stand
Searching for another chance
To make us all one

After the fading lights
I felt that we were one
I know I need
Everything we are everything we see
I took a part of you
You took a part of me

Knowing at a glance
Where we all stand
Searching for another chance
To make us all one

So

[Music & lyrics: Matheos]

Feeling so strong
I feel so inspired
Like a man with all the words
I could move the world
If I weren't so tired

So, so tired
So, so tired
So

Feeling so proud
I feel so admired
Like a man on a stage
I could play the part
If I weren't so tired

So, so tired
So, so tired
So

Tired of mind
And all I think
Tired of thirst
And all that I drink
Tired of will
And all that I need
Tired of body
And all that I bleed
Tired of breath
And all that I breathe
Tired of heart
And all that I grieve
Tired of sight
And all that I see
Tired of you
And tired of me

Feeling so full
Nothing desired
Like a man with everything
I should be happy
But I'm only tired

So, so tired
So, so tired
So

Pieces Of Me

[Music: Matheos. Lyrics: Matheos & Alder]

I'm lying broken under jagged pieces
Of burned out bridges
Suffocating I can't breathe
No direction
I'm scattered in the breeze
Living on memories

Everywhere I look
As far as I can see
Broken promises, broken promises
Pieces of me...

I'm drowning, choking
Falling deeper into this
Black hole we call living
And I can't breathe
No connection
I scattered in the breeze
Living on memories

Everywhere I look
As far as I can see
Broken promises, broken promises
Pieces of me...

All that I remember now
Are people and shadows

Everywhere I look
As far as I can see
Broken promises, broken promises
Pieces of me...

Something From Nothing

[Music: Matheos. Lyrics: Alder]

Some things burden me
These thoughts cut deep
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I see

I won't close my eyes
I won't look away
We've chased our dreams
We've had our way

Stood here so long
I've forgotten what I was even looking for
Nothing changes
It's all the same if nothing changes, changes

I thought I never needed
Everything I knew was wrong
I never thought I needed so much
I thought I never needed
Everything I knew was wrong
I never thought I needed more

Standing alone
I see what I was looking for, for so long
It's not where I am
It's everywhere I've been and where I'm going

I thought I never needed
Everything I knew was wrong
I never thought I needed so much
I thought I never needed
Everything I knew was wrong
I never thought I needed more

Take.... take from nothing
Take.... take from everything
Take.... take from nothing
Make it, make it, make it something
So it's more, so much more than I need
So much more, so much more

I thought I never needed
Everything I knew was wrong
I never thought I needed so much
I thought I never needed
Everything I knew was wrong
I never thought I needed more

Still Remains

[Music & lyrics: Matheos]

I had so much to say
But no words to speak
The feelings were strong
But I was only weak

So there we were again
Tragic and absurd
Choking on every line
And every final word

A few pages from an old diary
A dusty shelf, an unread history
All these words and memories
Are all of you that's really left for me

And a fading memory
Can't cloud the pain
When the voice is gone
The words still remains

And the years that fall away
Can't stop the rains
When illusion's gone
The truth still remains

A few lines from life's long soliloquy
A dying voice in one part harmony
All these words and memories
Are all of you that's really left for me

And a fading memory
Can't cloud the pain
When the voice is gone
The words still remains

And the years that fall away
Can't stop the rains
When illusion's gone
The truth still remains

A final moment of clarity
A touch, a look, a last apology
All these words and memories
Are all of you that's left for me

And a fading memory
Can't cloud the pain
When the voice is gone
The words still remains

And the years that fall away
Can't stop the rains
When illusion's gone
The truth still remains

Where is the way
Where is direction
The ever open arms
Of over protection
Where is the hope
Where is laughter
The wild winter dreams
Of happy ever after

Deep in the night
Underneath the darkest skies
Searching for some sign or some distant light
Screaming yet unheard
Repeating every line
And every final word

They remain, they remain
You still remain
All these words and memories
And everything you were to me
They remain, they remain
You still remain

And here I am again
Tragic and absurd
Repeating every line
And every final word

Disconnected Part 2

[Music: Matheos]

[Instrumental]

[Spoken words:]
"I say to you, there is only one way in which the world can be saved from itself and that is by the realisation that love overcometh all things.
That those who have gone before you are concerned for you, each one.
We come back to your world endeavouring to break down the barriers that you have created by foolishness and ignorance over the centuries and we knock at your door, hoping and praying that you will open just a little, that we may enter therein and save you from yourselves.
I think we were disconnected"
