lyrics for upcoming solo jesse michaels songs

[mclz]

1) Walking in shadows-

Details: Freedom from the conditioned dream

In the tourist cavern I found you and your face was just like my own

So we walked around for a while 'cause we both knew it was too early to go home

You could look at ice formations, read words so out of date

About some trite religion, about a functional hate

Walking in shadows 2x - down here in the turnstiles, trying to avoid the killing fall

And I saw stray visions of what life was supposed to mean

And I knew you had seen them too and it gave me solace in the slipstream

And I had loose moments where my mind and my power was my own

So I tried to steal something back down in the uncharted zone

Walking in shadows 2x - down here in the passages, trying to avoid the killing fall

Been outside the attraction, but it was so long ago - I remember the feel of substance

Now there's one place left to go

Walking in shadows 2x - down here in the minerals, trying to avoid the killing fall

2) Underneath the wheel

Details: A song about senseless death and suffering,

Sixteen steps into the night, moving in shifts underneath searchlights

Dead souls come back to my mind

We walked through factory fields with the past written and the future still sealed

You get used to following the blind

All the ones who were cut down return to draw you back

To the moment that they were loosed from this slow train track

See them falling underneath the wheel and there's nothing to hold on to

Hear them calling out words unrevealed, who do they belong to now

Down where everything happens in vain, we were born on colliding planes

Now we move through burned corridors

Just past the lines of your sight lie the ones lost in shifts of the light

No one knows what their efforts were for

Just before oblivion comes will there be a last platform

To shout your outrage out into the blind dust storm

(ch)

There another one goes, there another one goes

3) Countdown

Details: What is beyond the massive personality war people call "the real world?"

You could come out avowed but you'll never make it out unbowed

You could come out sound but you'll never make it out unbound

What's beyond the shroud, neither heaven nor hell could allow

Something I could live for, countown

What's beyond the paces, and the bored contemptful faces

Something I could die for, countdown

You could come out determined but you'll never make it out unburdened

You could come out with power but you'll never make it out from underneath the tower

Chorus
