Artificial Perfect
Techno DJ/producer Fenton’s fortunes took a dramatic upturn when electronic/industrial godfather Gary Numan commissioned him to co-produce and co-engineer the album "Jagged". The duo's successful working relationship continued thru 2006 on a series of studio & live collaborations, including new versions of classic Numan tracks including "Are Friends’ Electric", "Down In The Park" and "Metal" as well as new material. Since completing the album, Fenton set up Industry Music, a music production company that is servicing other artists. Numan contributes to 4 tracks on this set; "The Leather Sea", "Slide Away", "Recall" and the first single from the album, "Healing".
The Leather Sea
She swims across the leather sea
Her skin reflects so beautifully
She looks to me, and turns away
So this is the last real day
Your God is guilty Your God is nothing
You’ll see things he’ll never see
Your God was nowhere
A false confession
And never there to comfort me
Your God is nowhere, Your God is nothing
You’ll seen things he’ll never see
Your God is only a fallen idol
A ghost of sick humanity
There is a hate that burns within
Desolate places that I’ve been
Come back to me, I need to say
I’d breathe for you for just one day
Your God is guilty Your God is nothing
You’ll see things he’ll never see
Your God was nowhere
A false confession
And never there to comfort me
Your God is nowhere, Your God is nothing
You’ll seen things he’ll never see
Your God is only a fallen idol
A ghost of sick humanity

Truth
You’re so dysfunctional
Far too emotional
Think you’re unbreakable
Oh, so untouchable
I’m looking for the signs
A scarred shadow in ‘the light’
Only one thought remains
I’m smiling at your pain
I spit on your holy slaves
They swallow everything
I want them to believe
You are obscenity
Aint gonna come back to you
Aint gonna rise up to you
Get down upon your knees
No mercy, no reprieve
Come here and take the stand
Clean the blood off your hands
Do you need identity?
Called Christianity?
Why can’t you realise?
Your fucking bible lies
Aint gonna come back for you
Aint gonna rise up for you

Healing
I've seen all mine
Falling, Fall down
Do you know?
Do you know?
Obscene, I followed
I've seen some lies
Do you know?
Do you know?
Sometimes, I fall down
To you now
Do you know?
Sometimes I feel
Like I belong
To you now
To you now
And now, sometimes
It feels like I lie
To you now
Do you know?
Do you know?
I feel nothing
I feel no pain
You cant hurt me
You cant touch me
I'm not bleeding
I am healing
You will not steal
My dignity
Sometimes I fail
She protects me
She makes me feel
Humility
She made me clean
She made me see
All I could be
My sanctuary
Sometimes I know
Some whores kneel down
Do you know?
Do you know?
Sometimes I'm low
Sometimes you fall
Do you know?
Do you know?

Everything Changes
I watched you slip away slowly
It's just so hard to let go of you
How blind was I not to realise?
I should have seen it in your eyes
I look inside our memories
I smile and cry and have to ask why
To follow the same old routine
Do you also tell them you can't breathe?
Sometimes it feels like everything changes
Sometimes it feels like nothing can save us
Sometimes I feel like your mask is bleeding
Sometimes I feel like nothing can save me
We fell apart at the frayed seams
She was two faces in one fake skin
Her flesh is transparent and clean
The needle pierces so deeply
And so, my final question
How does it feel to be so empty?
One day, you'll realise something
You fucking hurt me so badly
Sometimes it feels like everything changes
Sometimes it feels like nothing can save us
Sometimes I feel like your mask is bleeding
Sometimes I feel like nothing can save me

One Day
One day, the rain will fall and you’ll be with me
I am the voice inside you now you’re gone
One day, the sun will shine a blinding memory
I’ll wait forever for that day to come now
One day, the rage will burn and take you slowly
I am the darkness waiting by the sun
One day, the glass will break and scar you deeply
I tried to tell you that my day would come now

Recall
Why won’t you try?
Why won’t you try again?
Why don’t you cry?
Your rape, it lies again
I wonder why
Pain fades with time again
I want to fly
I want to fly again
Do you recall?
I caught your fall
Did you forget us?
I took your soul
Don’t try to lie
Don’t try to lie again
I pull and fight
Your twisted mind again
Why can’t I find
The morning light again
I want to shine
I want to shine again
Do you recall?
You made me crawl
Did you forget me?
You leave me cold

Slide Away
The 'low road' whispers
Come to me
Silent mother
Cries for me
The shadow's reaching
Pull at me
Help me father
Speak to me
It's unrelenting
It's unforgiving
I want to tell you
I want to hold you
Slide Away
I need someone to blame
There's nothing left of your beauty
I don't feel you inside me
Slide Away
I need to feel your pain
You lost your soul to the heavens
Don't ask for redemption
The skies are bleeding
Patiently
Dead love's losing
Purity
The fire is burning
Inside me
Love is blinding
Forgive me
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me?
I want to tell you
I want to hold you
Slide Away
I need someone to blame
There's nothing left of your beauty
I don't feel you inside me
Slide Away
I need to feel your pain
You lost your soul to the heavens
Don't ask for redemption

Burn
You had your ‘reasons’
I can’t forgive
Too many memories
I can’t forget
Did you feel no shame?
You feel my pain?
You believed your lies
Didn’t you?
You thought you’d saved me
Didn’t you?
You feel no shame
You feel my pain
I want to need you
I want to dream you
I want to find you
I want to be you
I want to help you
I want to tear you
I want to taste you
I want to be you
You took my belief, my dreams
And me?
This is my vengeance, my voice
I’m free
Did you feel no shame?
You feel my pain?
I want to hurt you
I want to use you
I want to break you
I want to lose you
I want to burn you
I want to scar you
I want to bleed you
I will erase you

Machine
Can't believe
You would do this to me
Can't you see
That you've lied
And deceived
I believed you
And now all i see
My disease
In my dreams
Is your face
When he wants you,
And holds you.
Fuck you.
Wish there was something I could do to help you
I'll tear the black from your heart and betray you
Wish there was something I could do to help you
I'll burn a cross on your skin just to leave you
Do you feel?
Do you see?
Do you want me to be a machine?
Did I crawl?
Did I make you feel small?
Did I lie?
Did I hide?
Did I make you defy?
Should I stay?
Should I go?
Oh no, I don't think so.
Wish there was something I could do to help you
I'll tear the black from your heart and betray you
Wish there was something I could do to help you
I'll burn a cross on your skin just to leave you
Wish there was something I could do to help you
I'll steal the flesh from your god and I'll lead you
Wish there was something I could do to help you
I'll be the hands and the face that deceives you
