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

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 03:22
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

about

“A feature that becomes notable very quickly is the sheer energy that is elicited, with the rhythms being pretty spirited and getting the listener drawn in with little effort.” - November 6, 2018 by Jason Small (Small Music Scene)

“The overall theme seems to call on one to speak his or her mind or the truth and not to ‘buy into everything that is sold’. It is a call to duty to think and make individual judgements without fear of influence." - April 26, 2019 by Jordonna Lobese (Rock & Research Magazine)
