I. Erotomania

(instrumental)

II. Voices
4
'Love, just don't stare'
5
He used to say to me
6
Every Sunday morning
7
The spider in the window
8
The angel in the pool
9
The old man takes the poison
10
Now the widow makes the rules
11
'So speak, I'm right here'
12
She used to say to me
13
Not a word, not a word
14
Judas on the ceiling
15
The devil in my bed
16
I guess Easter's never coming
17
So I'll just wait inside my head
18
Like a scream but sort of silent
19
living off my nightmares
20
Voices repeating me
21
'Feeling threatened?
22
We reflect your hopes and fears'
23
Voices discussing me
24
'Others steal your thoughts
25
They're not confined
26
within your mind'
27
Thought disorder
28
Dream control
29
Now they read my mind on the radio
30
But where was the garden of Eden?
31
I feel elated
32
I feel depressed
33
Sex is death, death is sex
34
Says it right here on my crucifix
35
Like a scream but sort of silent
36
Living off my nightmares
37
Voices protecting me
38
'Good behavior
39
brings the savior
40
to his knees'
41
Voices rejecting me
42
'Others steal your thoughts
43
They're not confined
44
to your own mind'
45
[Dialogue by rap artist Prix-mo reading from the book "Cultural Revolution".]
46
"I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my
47
suffering, 'cause of my illness.
48
Only love is worth having, only
49
love is what matters, loving every
50
people on equal terms."
51
"You've got to know who you're
52
dealin' with, because, like a stranger,
53
a-heh, just might come in through
54
here with a gun... and then, what
55
would you do? (Heh.)"
56
"Everything is immaterial..."
57
"'' you know that reality is immaterial."
58
"This is not reality..."
59
I'm kneeling on the floor
60
Staring at the wall
61
Like the spider in the window
62
I wish that I could speak
63
Is there fantasy in refuge?
64
God in politicians?
65
Should I turn on my religion?
66
These demons in my head tell me to
67
I'm lying here in bed
68
Swear my skin is inside out
69
Just another Sunday morning
70
Seen my diary on the newsstand
71
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
72
It's a shame no one is praying
73
'cause these voices in my head
74
keep saying...
75
'Love, just don't stare.'
76
'Reveal the Word when you're supposed to.'
77
Withdrawn and introverted
78
Infectiously perverted
79
'Being laughed at and confused
80
keeps us pleasantly amused
81
enough to stay.'
82
Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting
83
Twentieth century Icon bleeding
84
Willing to risk salvation
85
To escape from isolation
86
I'm witness to redemption
87
Heard you speak but never listened
88
Can you rid me of my secrets?
89
Deliver us from darkness?
90
Voices repeating me
91
'Feeling threatened?
92
We reflect your hopes and fears.'
93
Voices discussing me
94
Don't expect your own Messiah
95
This neverworld which you desire
96
Is only in your mind.
97
III. The Silent Man
98
A question well served
99
'Is silence like a fever?'
100
'A voice never heard?'
101
'Or a message with no receiver?'
102
Pray they won't ask
103
Behind the stained glass
104
There's always one more mask
105
Has man been a victim
106
Of his woman, of his father?
107
If he elects not to bother
108
Will he suffocate their faith?
109
Desperate to fall
110
Behind the Great Wall
111
That seperates us all
112
When there is reason
113
Tonight I'm Awake
114
When there's no answer
115
Arrive the Silent Man
116
If there is balance
117
Tonight he's Awake
118
If they have to suffer
119
There lies the Silent Man
120
Sin without deceivers
121
A God with no believers
122
I could sail by
123
On the Winds of Silence
124
And maybe they won't notice
125
But this time I think
126
It'd be better if I swim
127
When there is reason
128
Tonight I'm Awake
129
When there's no answer
130
Arrive the Silent Man
131
If there is balance
132
Tonight he's Awake
133
But if they have to suffer
134
There lies the Silent Man
