Behind the steering wheel
Eyes closed, almost
Lights shine into the fog
I'm far from home
Pull down the windows
Let the chill come in.
The blood rush to my head
My feet swollen
Run over the sound
Of the shrieks of the masses
Roll on the wheels
Through time that we've stolen
Run over the ground
Leaving cracks in the pavement
Roll like a mirage
Leave no traces behind
I see the scene behind
In the slipstream I leave
Flash of red everywhere
For the street lights to see
A shrill voice on the air
Breathless in my head
Sole sound I can hear
Over man and machine
Run over the sound
Of the shrieks of the people
Roll on the wheels
Through time that we've stolen
Run over the ground
Leaving cracks in the pavement
Roll like a mirage
Leave no traces behind

I tried,
To convince you.
I'm no longer
Alone
I tried
To tell you
You can't save me
Anymore
And I feel
That I can't go on
We're at the end
The start of the song
And I feel
That I can't go on
We're at the end
The start of the song
And I feel
That I can't go on
We're at the end
The start of the song
And I feel
That I can't go on
We're at the end
The start of the song
I'm here
On my toes
On the edge
My vision broke
And I stare
Into your eyes
As I see
The ground below
And I feel
That I can't go on
We're at the end
The start of the song
And I feel
That I can't go on
We're at the end
The start of the song
So now,
As I'm flying through the air,
I'm no longer
Alone.

I woke
In the cold
In the morning
In the freezing sunshine
Bereft
Of any fire in my chest
And it stole
Away
Into
A pin prick of barbed wire cutting deep
Deep beneath my eyes
Then I walked
I walked
I walked
Alone
Below
The ground
I dragged
Slow
My torn
Heart
To your house
In the dark
Cobblestones on my head
Float
Drift
Inverted rooted
To the ground
You seemed
To fall
From the skies
Like an angel (but I didn't agree)
You fucked
Me up
You wanted
To save me.
You seemed
To fall
From the skies
Like an angel (but I didn't agree)
You fucked
Me up
You tried
To save me.
I stared
Through the glass
In your room
Through the mist
In your eyes
As you looked
Blurry back at me
I smelled
The smell
The rotting stench of peace
On your breath
Bereft
Of any fire in your chest
Then I walked
I walked
I walked
Alone
Below
The ground
I dragged
Slow
My torn
Heart
Away
From you
To the darkened eyes
On the road
Up high
Crumpled heap
On the ground
You seemed
To fall
From the skies
Like an angel (but I didn't agree)
You fucked
Me up
You tried
To save me
You seemed
To fall
From the skies
Like an angel (but I didn't agree)
You fucked
Me up
You tried
To kill me.
But you didn't know how.

I saw someone scream at me
Take my years away from me.
Shut sensible mind away
Soul filled up my irises.
Strange sense of paralysis
White are now my fingertips
You came up to me. Why?
This strange déjà vu in my eyes.
Please
Slow down
Control
I’ll smash my head against the mirror
Bleak
Forlorn
All gone
Broken shards of glass within my ears
Your words are a little too clear
Urging me to come to your paradise
Rain is falling constantly
But my tree’s got dry leaves.
You left me alone for an age
With the sound of wet squirming bells and
You alone left no marks on me
No. Not even when you died.
I can’t join you
I won’t come along.
Strike back at you.
With the slivers
Of silvered glass.
Please
Slow down
Control
I’ll smash my head against the mirror
Bleak
Forlorn
All gone
Broken shards of glass within my ears
Please
Slow down
Control
I’ll smash my head against the mirror
Bleak
Forlorn
All gone
Broken shards of glass within my ears

The hues of the fall
Come down your tresses
Your locks fall
Matted down
To your side
To your side
The ashes of the cigarette
Are on the table top
They are all that remain
Of the fire that took your body tonight
Inescapable
This moment
A shrine
I've made for you
Pushing on
Pushing back
This moment
I'm here
I'm here for you
I'm here
I'm here for you

So far away
I followed you.
Another plane of existence
I followed you.
Floating on the other side
It hurts
So much
The silence in my bones
Is permanent now.
More than ever was
Did you know that the last thing
I heard
Was your voice
In a song so loud
My soul is somewhere in between
On a turbulent aeroplane
Wishing it would crash again again
Let’s drink this bottle
This bottle of blood
Let’s drink it down
To your health
Let’s hold each other
While the fire burns deep
Let’s hold each other
One last time
I flew
Very long for you
An eternity of moments
Cross with me
Into the ether
Where the lightning subsides
I flew
Very long for you
An eternity of moments
Cross with me
Into the ether
Where the lightning subsides
Moon light falls on
Your pure skin grey
The last rays of a dying star
Send their fire to you in vain
I can’t go alone
Somewhere I have not been before.
I’ll turn you
Let nothing of you remain.
I flew
Very long for you
An eternity of moments
Cross with me
Into the ether
Where the lightning subsides
I flew
Very long for you
An eternity of moments
Cross with me
Into the ether
Where the lightning subsides

A sublime
Moon shines on your
Pretty face
Through the clouds
And I wait
While they
Take you away
Forever
Through the ether
You’re nowhere now
A million miles away
And I
Will come to you
This place is dead
Infinite
Lost souls
But we
Will swim together
The gates are closed
I see you on
The other side
Of the mirror
They won’t allow
Me
To enter
These
Hallowed grounds
I tried
I tried so hard
To make you mine
Forever
I hoped
For you to be
Your own self
With me too
I died
I died for you
I really hoped
I think I did
You never saw it
You never came to me
This isn’t how
It was
Meant to be
I tried
I tried so hard
To make you mine
Forever
I hoped
For you to be
Your own self
With me too
My vanity
Put me
In
The seventh circle
For all
Eternity
Here I’ll rot
Never to feel
That loving pain
Again

As with previous releases this is a solid album from start to finish which continues the storyline, themes and signatures perfectly. 'Enigma' and 'Another Same' are on par with or superior to many commercial offerings by established prog artists. The Waters, Wilson and Hayward influences shine through once more but I also hear song writing very much in the style of Difford and Tilbrook, 'Trough of War' & 'Another Same' probably being the best examples. These chaps are the real deal!
