1 - Cold & Bored (Sæther) 4:00
it had to be real
it had to be true
it had to be full of life and not just stuff
made up cheap and sold on dear to fools
it had to be you
it had to be me
it had to be all it could and given free
shared by all - transient like dreams
when i needed a mirror too
we used to be good
we used to be cool
we used to be beautiful and full of life
the next in line - princes of the night
the promise was real
but not the appeal
the fame and the fortune and the crummy deals
empty lies, opportunities lost - all in the mirror
cold and bored - does it sound like a promise i once gave to you?
cold and bored - I'm so sorry I couldn't deliver the truth
cold and bored - does it sound like a promise i once gave to you?
cold and bored - I'm so sorry I couldn't deliver the truth
cold and bored ...

2 - Sentinels (Sæther) 4:21
there's ghosts around
alive with half-done business in this town
you feel their sound
their presence swathes the city like a gown
there's ghosts around
they're guardians of the soul
the conscience and control
infused with city stories they remain
there's ghosts around
you feel their sadness floating on the breeze
in the air and in the ground
they are forever here
in the aether, in the spheres
infused with city stories they remain
effervescent
dark quintessence
living city stories they remain

3 - Patterns (Sæther) 5:10
those empty pages
promise unknown
those endless hours
no words of your own
the well has run dry
there's not a drop left
nothing remains to slake that thirst
patterns that once were new
now all seem so dull
not much to offer
content to carry on
on a couch ever softer
stifling yet a yawn
the well has run dry
there's not a drop left
nothing remains to slake that thirst
patterns that once were new
now all seem so dull
you're passing the baton
faded & withdrawn
the well has run dry
there's not a drop left
nothing remains to slake that thirst
patterns that once were new
now all seem so dull
days are all too noisy
nights never long enough
you only seem to want to
vanish with a puff....

what a welcome airing of the cupboards
they finally got the vermin out
ah, to see accountability restored
truth might finally come out
Dank State, you have been ejected - now please go away
failed ambition we have seen your face
and your plays - how sweet it is to see you on your way
the spell is broken altogether
the veil has lifted from our eyes
we are at the end of an error
fed up with conspiracies and lies
Dank State, you have been rejected - now we know your ways
failed ambition we have seen your face
and your plays - how sweet it is to see you on your way

5 - W.C.A. (Sæther) 4:15
so what do we look to
for hints of what we'll need to
do, when this is over at long long last?
there's no going backwards
but so many factors
all conspire to keep us dumb and in the dark
what comes after - I couldn't even begin to tell
what comes after - what will remain and what will have gone to hell?
a palpable tension,
without comprehension:
from utter detachment to full-on panic attacks
an endless mutation
or progress and stagnation?
there is no telling and there’s no going back
what comes after - i couldn't even begin to tell
what comes after - what will remain and what will have gone?
giant steps - a quantum leap to greet a new day dawning
scared and closed or prepped and primed to get the 20s roaring
once again?
what comes after - I couldn't even begin to tell
what comes after - what will remain and what will have gone to hell?

6 - Real Again (Norways shrugs and stays home) (Sæther) 3:02
another place another time
it might've worked out and we'd all been fine
but we engineered our own downfall
we citizens of the global sprawl
it didn't take much to stumble and fall
not much at all
now we're hanging out in different rooms
all pretending to cherish meetings on Zoom
supposed to strengthen all our ties
but your faces all seem demoralized
I can see the light growing dim in your eyes
you're in your room and I'm in mine
we're both dreaming of another time
when someday soon we'll meet again
and then maybe we all can hug our friends
and be real again

7 - Loch meaninglessness & the Mull of Dull (Sæther) 2:54
did you ever think she'd find you?
was there ever a real chance?
the blank stares and the silence and the hiding ...
a tight knot, and a long shot
lost, you never was a finder
and you never went a'searchin' on your own
but she got through - she found you
i bet you thought you were the only one
i bet you thought it was too late
but in your heart, the special one
in your heart, the only one
waited there for you

8 - Hotel Daedalus (Sæther) 7:46
it's hard to see the way out of the maze right now
stumbling round like drunks in the fog, and wondering why
no road seems to lead where the signs say
and it's ever harder to find a way
to put it all behind us, to be strong and to move on:
to find our new song
some days feel much darker than they did before
when I'm not really certain I can do this anymore
eaten by this life that we chose
the cheap hotels and fancy studios
the drugs don't seem to be of much use at all
anymore
the old hotel is empty, all the guests have gone
there will be a long night ahead before the dawn
quietly it sits there on the slope,
nothing left but memories, ghosts and hope
but the band is still there and it's playing on

10 - The Rapture (Sæther) 5:28
days are getting longer and summertime is just a breath away
the snow is finally letting go at last - it's just there sulking in the shade
I hear the first birds in the trees, they sing about their lust, their want and needs
and how wintertime is dying and now finally will fade
into oblivion, where seasons past will always go to die.
they know their time is up, and shuffle off and wave bye-bye.
there’s logic here that none can deny
the moment's almost here: when the madness grips the spheres
and every single molecule takes off into the sky
the sunlight turns the heat up another 5 degrees or so
you feel the heat pervade your bones and warm your soul
and put a spring into your step wherever you may go
the day wakes up, the air keeps getting clearer
you skip between the puddles on your way
you hum a tune and make your way - it's a beautiful beautiful day
'cause soon it’ll be over, soon we'll be free again
and all the kings pretty horses couldn't pull us back there again!
I'll stand and I'll be counted, I'll stand up and I'll shout out loud
and live it like I never did and hold my head up proud
days are getting longer, summer's almost here
I thank my guardian angels we survived another year.
when summer rolls around again I'm gonna lay my head back in the grass
and count my blessings one by one, and hope it won't be my last
