Wake up, Tune in, Drop Out
Just do as you’re told, And fall in line
Shape up, Drift in, Ship out
Will you be so bold, And try to shine?
But life goes on and on and on, my life without perception
(The unawake state of my mind, weighs on my soul)
Speak up, Cash in, Zone out
Just do as they say, But stand your ground
Stand up, Jump in, Reach out
Just join in the fray, Until you’re found
They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my mind
Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed
The unawake, state of my brain
Keep up, Get in, Drive out
You can do anything, Don’t fall behind
Look up, Sink in, Fallout!
Of love with drinking, Too many times
But life goes on and on and on, my life without perception
(They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my mind)
The unawake state of my mind, weighs on my soul
(Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed
The unawake, state of my brain)
There’s something i gotta say to you,
This revolution of mind, I gotta see it through
There's something I need you to do
To break the lies that bind, and start the world anew
They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my mind
Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed
The unawake, state of my brain

A Lonely God
03:36
|

Here, all alone, on this empty street
Listen, to the Stones, ‘cause it’s on repeat
A shepherd into purgatory
Like a lonely god for none to see
Drifting into distant memories
Build it piece by piece each day
A place where everyone must be
But no one really wants to stay
Once everybody’s had their say
Society has gone astray
How, is he different in this place
What, will they do when they see his face
A promise that he wants to say
The promise that sent them away
Drifting into distant enemies
Build it piece by piece each day
A place where everyone must be
But no one really wants to stay
Once everybody’s had their say
Society has gone astray
Deserted shrine
See the dirt and dusk fall down
All around again
There’s no temple left but sin
Hey! They wanna see
Hey! Just hear them bleat
How do gods expect to live
When coins and smoke are all they give
In the end it all comes down to this
Deserted shrine
See the dirt and dusk fall down
All around again
There’s no temple left but sin

The Nearshore
03:35

Caught in the balance of life
Flow through this atmosphere
Brought here until I arrive
(Drift, Phase, Fade out)
Lost at sea about to die
Like visions from Hokusai
Adrift with nowhere to hide
(Drift, Phase, Fade out)
(My mind is on the nearshore)
I fear, the waves are crashing down
I know, the nights are drawing in
I feel, the tides are turning round
Pull me, to the nearshore
Off-course, emotions arise
Unsteady, unwavering
We’re safe until we capsize
(Drift, Phase, Fade out)
The current pulling me in
Waves breaking over my face
Washed up my head's in a spin
(Drift, Phase, Fade out)
(My mind is on the nearshore)
I fear, the waves are crashing down
I know, the nights are drawing in
I feel, the tides are turning round
Pull me, to the nearshore

Interstellar

I'm looking up at stars above
The constellations in my mind
The world down here is not enough
'Seems only I can read the signs
But can we make it to the dawn?
And will this world hold out for long?
I'm feeling interstellar
The earth can't hold me down
I'm feeling interstellar
Nothing can stop me now
Someday I'll make my great escape
Among the stars, beyond the moon
Be free from gravity's embrace
The final hour can't come too soon
There's so much more out there to find
It's time to leave this all behind
I'm feeling interstellar
The silence draws me on
I'm feeling interstellar
Countdown and then I'm gone
(I'm feeling interstellar)

Taboo
03:44
|

Like a pen and cassette
You don’t understand
We’re from different times, but
We want the same things
Everything is hashtagged
Like messages and soundbites
Our Generation gap
It’s out of my hands
If we could see, eye to eye
Stand up to societal judgement
Move towards a modern love
And nothing’s ever taboo again
As modern rejects
We don’t understand
Consume your energy drinks
To feel like a man
Like your synthetic stash
Nothing’s inside of your head
We’ve led different lives, but
We need the same things
Everything is hashtagged
Like messages and soundbites
Our Generation gap
It’s out of my hands
If we could see, eye to eye
Stand up to societal judgement
Move towards a modern love
And nothing’s ever taboo again
Watch as the world, passes by
See things from a changed perspective
Fall into a modern love
And nothing’s ever taboo again
