"CONCEPTION" - Instrumental

'LIFELESS ART FORM"

Can you feel it?
The excitement!
Of a new thing
New assignment.
The reality bites.
Here we go again
I'm painting on a smile
Will it last to the end?

Doing your best to remain their friend
Talking it up
Keeping your head
A lifeless art from
Well it's better off dead

"EGO"

Enthusiastic waves are keeping you afloat
But every day brings disappointment
Imagination in someone else's eyes
Goes off in a new direction
You reboot yourself and join them for the ride
Keeping up with their perceptions
But it isn't long before you fall behind
Head off in different directions

Their ego takes them to another place
Where they can exercise their power
What on earth are they achieving?
As far as I can see
Nothing at all

They're not the only ones who've walked this road before
Many more have come before them
With more humility than they will ever have
And creativity to burn

Their ego takes them to another place
Where they can exercise their power
What on earth are they achieving?
As far as I can see
Nothing, nothing at all

'RELEASE TO THE WORLD" - Instrumental

"THE FIRE DOWN BELOW"

As quickly as they need you
They've forgotten all about you
The desperate need for glory casts a shadow on themselves
Losing touch with reality
Losing sense of themselves
Misguided self belief
Of the very worst kind
Can drag you down with them
In the hope that they'll find
Some public adulation
Some falling at their feet
They've gone and changed the world
And it's "them" you'll wanna meet
But they're mostly deluded
And you can never let them know
Cos your name will be banished
To the fire
To the fire down below
Your name will be banished
To the fire down below

"FREE"

I'm free, never going back
I'm free, got 'em off my back
Promises will be broken
Just like they were never spoken

They'll come and go
Melting like snow
The panic and pain
It's all wasted with no gain

I'm free, never going back
I'm free got 'em off my back
