Paradigm Shift
Lyrics by John Tumminia
Facing the day ahead
Thoughts running through my head
I’m seeing the shifting paradigm and asking why
Why then on this brand new day you’ve nothing to say?
Everything I thought to know
Everywhere I thought I’d be
Everything is turned and reckless
Fight fire with fire - Reject the denial
As empires conspire - To call us enemies
When logic is broken - With utter nonsense spoken
The history is chosen - We have the remedy
Racing to stay ahead
As synthetic blood I’ve bled
Receiving transmissions just in time – a crimson sky
Why then on this brand new day you’ve nothing to say?
Everything I thought to know
Everywhere I thought I’d be
Everything is turned and reckless
Fight fire with fire - Reject the denial
As empires conspire - To call us enemies
When logic is broken - With utter nonsense spoken
The history is chosen - We have the remedy
Why then on this brand new day you’ve nothing to say? (2x)
Fight fire with fire - Reject the denial
As empires conspire - To call us enemies
When logic is broken - With utter nonsense spoken
The history is chosen - We have the remedy
Fight fire with fire - Reject the denial
As empires conspire - To call us enemies
When logic is broken - With utter nonsense spoken
Get ready the explosion - On this brand new day

Fragments as Illusion
Lyrics by John Tumminia
Movement on the horizon
Panic follows me here
Metallurgical daylight
By astronomical year
One move after the other
The onset of the illusion?
Even closer it nears
Is it just or slow deranging?
My eyes are open wide
But can I really see them?
Satellites?
I see something overhead
Fragments. Design. Secrets.
Why can’t I be able?
Is it an omination?
Visions tend to betray
Animating the fragments
As refugees from a fall out
(In) passive matrix display
Is it just or slow deranging?
My eyes are open wide
But can I really see them?
Satellites?
I see something overhead
Fragments. Design. Secrets.
Why can’t I be able?
Superposition
A decoherence
A contradiction of interference
And so I’m asking
Why can’t I be able?
Why can’t I be able?

My Metallic Dream
Lyrics by John Tumminia
My strength is running low
My strength is running low
My strength is running low
now can you hear the metallic sound around us?
now can you feel the metallic sound around us?
why can't you hear the metallic sound around us?
on and on and on and on it goes
all night
My strength is running low
My strength is running low
My strength is running low
now can you hear the metallic sound around us?
now can you feel the metallic sound around us?
why can't you hear the metallic sound around us?
why can't I dream
what is a dream
why can't I be
what is it to be
now can you hear the metallic sound around us?
why can't you hear the metallic sound around us?
when everything I fear is in my dreams
My strength is running low
My strength is running low
My strength is running low
now can you hear the metallic sound around us?
now can you feel the metallic sound around us?
why can't you hear the metallic sound around us?

Weightless
Lyrics by John Tumminia
Sometimes I feel like breathing, sometimes I wish I’d been born
Sometimes a strange addiction deadens the pain of it all
From the sky I see the sunrise ‘cause I’m weightless in your arms
And think of a new horizon far above that we have made
And beyond this new horizon the heavens are punctured and frayed
From the sky I see the sunrise ‘cause I’m weightless in your arms
And float along blackened silence all of your thoughts brought to bear
An innocence gone to violence peripherals no longer there
From the sky I see the sunrise ‘cause I’m weightless in your arms
An earth and moon will stay apart when gravity can fill the heart
Philosophies that call to mind a symptom of another kind of madness
So think of moments in the past like dust in rays of sun will dance
And leaves that float along the water winds will blow and all will offer
silence and pain
Sometimes I feel like breathing, sometimes I wish I’d been born
Sometimes a strange addiction deadens the pain of it all
From the sky I see the sunrise ‘cause I’m weightless in your arms

Synergy
Lyrics by John Tumminia
Sometimes when you look outside
When you think inside
And then all you see is
Veiled reflections of the way that thing should be and
When it’s wise we pause and test the concepts and we analyze
And it leads to why
An elemental feeling in a synergistic life
An elemental feeling in a synergistic life
The energy that is left behind
When the stars align
And it fills the mind with
Introspection of the thing that we perceive when
Inertia meets the sky and floats around you like a satellite
And it leads to why
An elemental feeling in a synergistic life
An elemental feeling in a synergistic life
And time goes on and on
And I go on and on
And time goes on and on
And I go on and on

Steampunk Highway
Lyrics by John Tumminia
I’m hanging on (driving to my downfall)
I’m hanging on (driving to my downfall)
In the middle of nowhere
The steam, the rotation
What I perceive
Design, deceive
Feels so cold
Feel so old
Feel so alone
I’m hanging on (driving to my downfall)
I’m hanging on (driving to my downfall)
In the middle of nowhere
The steam, the rotation
And I will grieve
And I believe
And I believe

Asymmetry
Lyrics by John Tumminia
The images are strange
Far beyond the range
Of prior understanding
[spoken]
and everything's wrong
and everything's changed
I don’t understand
And how must I look at myself
A shape so uncommon itself
Asymmetry lies at the heart
And boldly determines the start
The images are strange
Far beyond the range
Of prior understanding
[spoken]
and everything's wrong
and everything's changed
I don’t understand
I'm trying to look at myself
A new declaration itself
Asymmetry lies at the heart
And slowly it sets me apart
Instrumental Interlude
And now as I look at myself
A shape without logic itself
Asymmetry lies at the heart
It softly transforms into art
