The Machine

Lyrics: Oniontree
Music: Oniontree

Approaching the machine
Steel door has opened
Inside, people standing by
To welcome you inside
“Take a seat next to that stranger by that window,
and please stand by for further information”

Take me through these burning skies
The tension’s killing me
I’m too young to die
Help me through this hell alive
I’m too young to die

The walls are closing in
Various sounds alerting
Goodbye, I’m leaving everything behind
Blisters cause my eyes to fight
There’s nothing right
That says this place is right for me to percipate
There’s darkness, danger. pounding, forcing me to step outside my head
(Let’s go)

Take me through these burning skies
The tension’s killing me
I’m too young to die
Help me through this hell alive
I’m too young to die

Take me through these burning skies
The tension’s killing me
I’m too young to die
Help me through this hell alive
I’m too young to die
Help me through this hell alive
I’m too young to die
There’s darkness, danger, pounding, forcing me to step outside my head

Distorted You

Lyrics: Oniontree
Music: Oniontree

I close my eyes
My head is sinking low
I’ll rather pursue all the secrets
Beneath my eyelids
And I can feel the pavement lighting up
The way it used to lead the way
To the dreams I have always looked upon

In the clouds at night
Between the world and the sky
Is where my heart believes it should belong

In the clouds at night
Between the world and the sky
Is where my heart believes it should belong

But another day in the light
From all the stars in the heaven’s sight
The snowtops fill the gorge once more
And the stream flows strong again
And all the troubles of the world take one last breath
It all dissolves and breaks down
To put a smile on a poisoned heart

So hold me and tell me that it’s you
Please take me down to ground where my feet are waiting there for me
I’m far away by now
I’ve flown beyond to see the sky
I can’t look back, there’s nothing there

Pull out the cords
Attached to my head
And let me see
What’s underneath your silhouette
That may or may not make sense

So hold me and tell me that it’s you
Please take me to ground where my feet are waiting there for me
I’m far away by now
I’ve flown beyond to see the sky
I can’t look back, there’s nothing there

Down

Music: Oniontree
Lyrics: Oniontree

This fantasy is taking over
Severed visions confusing me
At the corners of my eyes
Revealing another truth
What is true

Crawling away
To the picture that’s gone pale before my eyes
Are these lies
Or am I finally starting to see

You present your hand
Where will it take me
I can’t escape it
I must give in
To all these days o’ nightmare
It’s too late to say goodbye

Crawling away
To the picture that’s gone pale before my eyes
Are these lies
Or am I finally starting to see

Crawling away
To the picture that’s gone pale before my eyes
Are these lies
Or am I finally starting to see
All those days o’ nightmare
All those days o’ nightmare
All those days o’ nightmare
All those days o’ nightmare

Solitude

Lyrics: Oniontree
Music: Oniontree

It’s cold when it’s dark
It’s lonely when no one’s around
But hills so cold under the colourless skies
Autumn has taken it’s toll

How I wish to stay with you
Entangled to the ground
Leave my worries of my head

Looking around I see
That everything has gone to find itself
To go away into an unknown world
Where the skies are still bright
Here’s there’s just  a tree
The only one, and the sun is gone

How I wish to stay with you
Entangled to the ground
Leave my worries of my head
To be with you

It’s cold when it’s dark
I’m fading, now you’ve gone

How I wish to stay with you
Entangled to the ground
Leave my worries of my head
To be with you
