There is no avoiding the anguish For the hours that crumble to dust Not the first to feel it or fight it But if it helps then fight if you must Break these chains Break these chains It's improbable but try You've got your guide You're ready to hitch-hike Far from insignificance Eager to find the ultimate answer But you're grounded by indifference Break these chains Break these chains It's improbable but try With your bare hands Or your earth-destroying plans And then miss the ground and fly Listen to some advice Even lab mice Know you might as well try To get distracted by Something that causes you To miss the ground and fly Might as well miss the ground and fly The answer's encoded into the static That carries the messages Through your brain Might as well be on Mars for all you care The language used Is implausibly strange implausibly strange Break these chains Break these chains Heart of Gold to pierce the sky Out of reverse to The edges of the universe When you miss the ground and fly Listen to some advice Even lab mice Know you might as well try To get distracted by Something that causes you To miss the ground and fly Might as well miss the ground and fly You've found your Trillian Your one in a billion But something still itches At the corner of your eye Won't you ever see An end to apathy Won't you ever miss the ground and fly The answer's encoded into the static

With The Few (live on Black Country Radio) 02:46
lyrics

Time it has taken its toll on you Jaded and bitter, you battle through So much neglected, so little reflected In the echoes you'll leave behind Stumbling around so persistently Soul-mates appear inconsistently The more that you fall, the less they will call The cliche of it all And your defences they crumble Shore them up again Shore them up, shore them up Patterns repeating so endlessly Starting to question your sanity The cosmos expands, but all their demands Reduce you to nothingness And your defences they crumble Shore them up again Shore them up, shore them up When your defences they crumble Shore them up again With the few close to you With the few close to you

There is no grand scheme Though genetics might suggest this We're not the fever dream Of a watchmaker in the sky I may have inherited A bias towards the negative But I don't walk upon A predetermined path She captured images Of the wonders of DNA While most of us Barely break the surface of the everyday She captured images Of the wonders of DNA While most of us Barely break the surface of the everyday Yet another year Trapped forever in the red Does your chemical recipe Constantly drag you down? Are you doomed to push That rock back to that mountaintop? Or will you break the shackles That exist just in your mind She captured images Of the wonders of DNA While most of us Barely break the surface of the everyday She captured images Of the miracle of DNA While most of us Barely break the surface of the everyday Our footprints in the sand Chances are will fade away Some seem born to leave Impressions that endure Vision and persistence Might be key to immortality But the key that she had cut Was spirited away She captured images Of the wonders of DNA While most of us Barely break the surface of the everyday She captured images Of the miracle of DNA While most of us Barely break the surface of the everyday That double helix It was hers before they hijacked it Unrecognised till long after her dying day Our footprints in the sand Chances are Will fade away

Escape (live on Black Country Radio) 03:45
lyrics

Another Monday morning Chips away the wall around your soul Another slide into that state of helplessness will take its toll Another million reasons to escape but not the means to how Another nail knocked in your last goodbye Leave this fickle world so far behind Won't you ever find The escape route out of here on a clear day Where you don't have to steer clear Of the fear that blocks your way No other closeness quite like that which I will always have with you Though sometimes I feel set adrift from this world You will see me through No other reason needed to fight the edge to let it go to hell Than the sanity that carries me so effortlessly So hard to fight it This fear I'll never find it The escape route out of here on a clear day Where you don't have to steer clear Of the fear that blocks your way Wheels keep spinning round and round Grinding you into the rock face You're fossilised remains Layers of letdown bury you without a trace No other closeness quite like that which I will always have with you Though sometimes I feel set adrift from this world You will see me through No other reason needed to fight the urge to let it all go to hell Than the sanity that carries me so effortlessly So hard to fight it This fear I'll never find it The escape route out of here on a clear day Where you don't have to steer clear Of the fear that blocks your way The escape route out of here on a perfect day Where you don't have to steer clear Of the fools that block your way
