Insomnia

I wish I could sleep but I’m lying awake
contemplating my life and all the turns it could take
and as I’m thinkin’ it through I don’t know what I can do
to get back to a place where my mind doesn’t race
oh how I wish I could sleep
see I woke from a dream where I never felt more alive
I was up so high that I started to fly
and I wanted you with me so I called out from above
and waited for you to join me at the top
and while I waited from up in the clouds I looked down at the hallowed ground
I breathed in the rarefied air and I became very calm
and I realized that everything would be okay
and all my tomorrows would never go astray
yeah I finally knew that everything would be alright
and all my todays would never lose their light
and when you arrived we drifted in the breeze
and we both knew that we’d been released
we dropped this earthly burden and our minds were at ease
and our hearts were at peace and our souls were free
yeah we dropped our burdens and our minds were empty and at ease
and our hearts found peace and our souls were finally free
wish I could get back to dreamin’ but now I’m lying awake
contemplating my life and all the twists it could take
and as I’m thinkin’ it through I don’t know what I can do
to get back to a place where my heart doesn’t race
oh how I wish I could sleep

Deep Dark Down

Leviathan
oh won’t you pull me in
to your hidden den
so we can start again
I’ll sink on down with you
it’s all I want to do
into the depths below
beneath the undertow
well I can’t see why you’re living all alone
in the darkest hole that’s the furthest place from home
Leviathan
won’t you invite me in
to your secret world
I hear it’s beautiful
if you’ll just take my hand
and make me understand
then I can breathe again
and be with you my friend
well we could swim to that deep dark down together
and find our way to a place that’s soft and warm
we could hide from the harsh and nasty weather
and you could take me in and keep me safe from harm
Leviathan
you are my only friend
you are my hidden gem
my sweet Leviathan

Bottomless Pit
08:00
|
|||
|
well I fell in, into a bottomless pit
when I got to the bottom I could swear that this was it
looked all around and down and up at the sky
but the sky was gone and I couldn’t figure out why
so I crawled all around on the floor looking for a door
but then I came to the edge and dropped over and fell in some more
and in my falling I slipped down into a dream
I was lying in a bed where nothing was quite as it seemed
the lights shined black and the dog walked across the ceiling
and the cat sang me a song that was so full of meaning
and the world was a swirl of empty desert and ocean
and no matter what I tried I couldn’t stop the motion
so I curled all up and I tucked myself into a ball
and I bounced off the walls until I landed inside a hall
well the hall was a place where I could set off in any direction
so I stepped into space and then I was falling again
and as I fell I sank further into the void
well the void was like a shroud and left me feeling unmoored
I was quite at a loss as to how I would ever climb out
and I couldn’t understand what all the sinking was really about
so I reached out to grab on and cling to a piece of the wall
but nothing I did could really stop me or break my fall
and as gravity pulled I kept going down faster and faster
if I didn’t ease up I was sure it would end in disaster
so I learned to let go and relax and just live in the moment
shined a light in the darkness and gave thanks for not hitting the pavement
raised my arms up to God or whoever had started me falling
dropped on down to my knees and with grace I accepted my calling
yeah I fell in, into a bottomless pit
was the strangest sensation but I didn’t mind it a bit
I fell in, into a bottomless pit
was the loveliest place once I got used to it
well I fell in, into a bottomless pit
was a nice empty space, my bottomless pit
yeah I fell in, into my bottomless pit
a place to call home, my bottomless pit

Coasting
04:30
|
|||
|
floating through on a warm spring day
soaking in life as it melts away
wandering by for just a moment in time
coasting along for a blink of an eye
eye of a hurricane spins around
we’re in our bubble safe and sound
under the light of a clear blue sky
no need to worry or wonder why
and if the storm comes crashing through
taking it all from me and you
we’ll close our eyes and dance in the rain
and build it all back up again, to go coasting
feeling the heat of the summer sun
nowhere to hide nowhere to run
watching the flames grow ever higher
we escaped the flood but fell into the fire
mountains will crumble to the ground
the oceans will rise up and pull us down
ancient artifacts tell the tale
of all reduced to a hollow shell
but even though we all fade to dust
and everything will rot or rust
we’ll close our eyes and forget the pain
and keep on fighting to rise again, and go coasting

Live to Die
05:15
|
|||
|
you live to die, you don’t ask why
just follow your heart into the fire
hold your piece on quick release
no time to think, just slay the beast
make it through another day
nothing more to do or say
if you should fall, your blood gone cold
it’s better than just growing old
life is but a dream my dear
but I can’t sleep when you’re not here
if I should die while I’m awake
I pray the Lord that I will take a few of the bad ones down with me
you live to die, you don’t know why
it’s in your blood, it’s in your mind
adventure waits, duty calls
can’t stop driving ‘til you’re through the wall
you pull your knife, you draw your gun
hide in the shadows waiting for action
you break on through and dive on in
you don’t care if it means the end
life is just a dream my love
borrowed time lent from above
and when it’s time to disappear
I’ll be glad I have no fear
life is but a dream sweetheart
one day it will fall apart
and when I go my time has come
so let me be and keep my spirit strong

Out of Place
06:15
|
|||
|
something’s crawling in my space, out of place
and I don’t like it
well it slithers through my room by the light of the moon
and I don’t want it
it’s a shadow in the dark that leaves an icy mark
and I can feel it
brushing up against my skin then it disappears again
can you believe it
and it follows me around when I’m walking through town
like a cold ever-present stare
when I’m driving alone, feel it deep in my bones
like a ghost in an empty lair
in the darkness, in the fog, in the vacant lot
it makes me want to run and hide
but no matter where I go there’s no escape you know
and it eats me up inside
what’s that under the bed
whispers in my ear
creeping through my head
am I better off dead
something’s out of place and I don’t like it
something’s out of place and I don’t want it
something’s out of place and I can feel it
something’s out of place, will you believe it

Rise and Fall
06:25
|
|||
|
sooner or later we'll reach the top together
float up in the clouds then drop back down
we may be going nowhere, at least we're here today
life's a strange thing and then it goes away
wish I knew what’s waiting on the other side
for now let’s just relax and enjoy the ride
I can't tell you the meaning of it all
I just know we rise and then we fall
I want to scale the summit, shoot up into space
solve the world's problems, take my place
along the hall of legends, among the starry night
I want to take you with me, I want to get it right
but some days I’m stuck under the weather and I don’t want to go
wander down into the shadow of the valley below
I’d rather stay under the covers and just bundle and hide
oh I wish you’d understand how I’m feeling inside
all the empty and the full it makes me dizzy and cold
all the silence and the chatter is just really getting old
all the beauty and the ugly swirls around in my head
and some nights i wonder if i might be best off...
wish I had the answer straight and true
might be something grand for me and you
but I don't know the reason for it all
just like a breath we rise and then we fall
wish I knew what’s on the other side
but I’ll try to just relax and enjoy the ride
I don’t know the meaning of it all
I just know we rise and then we fall

Anonymous Star
05:15
|
|||
|
so you wanna be an anonymous star
shine like a bright light but don’t let them know who you are
and you wanna glow but stay behind the shade
shout out from the platform, but never stand on the stage
if they could only see you they would remember your name
and gather around you like a moth to the flame
if they could only feel you and the warmth that you bring
they’d orbit around you like a planet in space
yeah you wanna be an anonymous star
one in a million but left alone in the dark
and you wanna shine with an invisible fire
feel yourself burn with a hidden desire
if they could only see you, would not forget your face
they’d all want to meet you and stand in your grace
but the gravity’s heavy so you stay away
well the energy’s draining so you play it safe
yeah you wanna be an anonymous star
just a glimmer of light, so distant and far
yeah you’re gonna be an anonymous star
just a flicker of light, so distant and far

Overwhelmed
07:33
|
|||
|
some nights I can’t get to sleep
so I sit up in the dark and I start thinking deep
about things that no one wants to hear
about things that are better left unsaid
like how do you feed the billions
when we’re running out of water
and the sun is melting the pavement
cause we’re burning too much carbon
and society’s held together
by a big atomic nightmare
and the planet is sick and dying
but the people just keep on building
I wish I could be the shade
to shield you from the ultraviolet rays
and I wish I could make a pill
that made you love your neighbor and never feel ill
but the days keep passing by and we keep getting further
from the way the world was supposed to be
and time keeps slipping by and i’m only growing older
and i no longer have the energy
and I can’t do a thing to reverse the tide
it’s coming fast to crash down all around
when the air is gone and the last breath’s done
and we’ve seen our final setting sun
that’s the only thing existence will ever be
some nights I just can’t get to sleep
my chest feels tight and I’m overwhelmed
and I start thinking deep

Algorithms
04:11
|
|||
|
riding a wave, don’t know when it’ll crash
nature has plans that we can’t cash
waiting for something to shatter the dome
when our number is up then it’s time to come home
the screens are all cracked but we can’t look away
the future is now and it’s erasing today
watching the sky for signs of the fall
wondering when we’ll lose it all
punching in numbers, connecting the dots
soaking in turpentine to loosen the knots
collecting the data to help us decide
trusting the patterns, swallowing pride
searching for meaning inside the code
typing the message to make it implode
the map holds the answer and x marks the spot
an infinite nothing, invisible dot

Still Falling
04:42
|

|
yeah I fell in, into a bottomless pit
was the strangest sensation but I didn’t mind it a bit
I fell in, into a bottomless pit
was the loveliest place once I got used to it
well I fell in, into a bottomless pit
was a nice empty space, my bottomless pit
yeah I fell in, into my bottomless pit
a place to call home, my bottomless pit

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
