lyrics

Newly opened eyes strain beneath fluorescent light
Feeling tubes & wires, machines are keeping me alive
Don't know where or when or how or why this came to be
Suspended, I'm caught between
safe havens for time's refugee

All I amounted to is frozen in history
I can't express, can't find the words, articulate this fear
Wild and whirling states, prophetic dreams a-blur
I need to heal, no longer feel the past is another world

Searching for a door, to let me in and take me back
A fractured man, a man alone save for ghosts of all I lack
Locked out of inner space, exiled from all I am
Pages blank, an empty book, the Alpha-Omega Man

Take me home, make the picture whole,
Can't recognise, these hollow eyes, that nameless ghost
Can't recognise, these hollow eyes, that nameless ghost

Can I make sense of this? Frame a world beyond this place
Without my yesterdays how can I support today?
Is it me myself I miss the most? Tears well in my eyes
Is there the faintest hope, will someone hear my desperate cry?

Searching for a door, to let me in and take me back
A fractured man, a man alone save for ghosts of all I lack
Locked out of inner space, exiled from all I am
Pages blank, an empty book, the Alpha-Omega Man

The first, the last, the Alpha-Omega Man.
