Ricochet Man (demo)

Caught in the ricochet
Of my intentions
Does it ease your pain
To know that I don't blame myself
We're both caught
In the same crime
But I escaped without a scratch
So how can any blame be mine
You don't know what it's like
Being a guy like me
And I don't want to see you crying
But I don't want to take the blame
I would love to make it right
Oh if only I had your shame
I see you're unsatisfied but
I have nothing else to say
You want restitution
And I'm at a loss for words
Hey ricochet man
Stuck in a bitter world
Of my invention
And things will always stay the same
As long as I don't blame myself
You're at the wrong place
At the wrong time
I know I really wronged your world
But everything is right in mine
You are alone
In your pain
And I don't want to see you crying
But I don't want to take the blame
I would love to make it right
Oh if only I had your shame
I see you're unsatisfied but
I have nothing else to say
You want restitution
And I'm at a loss for words
Hey ricochet man
Listen up
No heart
No demonstration
Of basic
Human compassion
No fear
No anticipation
Of well deserved
Retribution
I see you're unsatisfied but
I have nothing else to say
You want restitution
And I'm at a loss for words
Hey ricochet man

Beacon (demo)
03:49

See the young man take a chance
The old life he will throw away
And take it into his hands
Start bearing all the weight
His friends advise him kindly
There's no castle in the clouds
No emerald city waiting
It's sane to harbour doubts
Please understand why
I can't stay here
I see the future
And I have to keep moving on
Please understand why
I can't be here
The soul leads
Until it's broken
See the old man wondering down the street
We all think he's crazy
He doesn't know where he's going
Or the end he's bound to meet
He never answers questions
He could never really explain
The stars within his universe
Or the beacon in his brain
Please understand why
I can't stay here
I see the future
And I have to keep moving on
Please understand why
I can't be here
The soul leads
Until it's broken
Falling down
But not falling apart
I hear voices in this empty room
Urging me to start
From here
Without fear
And I know better than to leave myself behind
Follow me
It's fight or flight
Towards the beacon in the night and
Destiny feels heavy in my hands
Out of control
And I won't complain
It's so big you can't contain
You just can't contain
Please understand why
I can't be here
The soul leads
Until it's broken

Perfect Machine (demo)
04:00

The day I left you behind
Is still a scar on my mind
A mark I won't forget
If I convince you to stay
Would we start paving the way
To nice mistakes we won't regret
She said
You left a lot undone
The world won't stop for anyone
Take me away
Before we run out of time
This time
I just don't work without you
You just don't work without me
We'll come together
Like a perfect machine
And we'll keep on running
Strain the system
We'll run until we both fall apart
Then we'll pick up all the pieces
They all amount to something
Better than it was from the start
You and me
A perfect machine
A perfect machine
I keep confusing my words
You know I'm no good at this
I'm not sure what I need to say
I just can't maintain this way
I've got to figure it out
Why things break down when you're away
She said
Hey what are you thinking
Leaving me here while I'm shaking
I've got some things I need to get out
You drive the demons from me
You help to keep me clean
We fit together
Like a perfect machine
And we'll keep on running
Strain the system
We'll run until we both fall apart
Then we'll pick up all the pieces
They all amount to something
Better than it was from the start
You and me
A perfect machine
A perfect machine
With precision fit
Always running clean
All of us are dying
Might be the only thing that's true
So I won't waste my time
My time with you
My time with you
