Wide Awake

Wide Awake
Set yourself on fire
Just to start a fight
Who puts out a fire
Who turns out the lights
The oppressor.
All alone
Underground
Rest my soul
Anchors weigh me down
Who fights fire with fire
Who takes eye for eye
Who turns a blind eye to
Who gets out alive
The oppressor
Anchors weigh me down
All along
Underground
Wide awake
All along
Underground
Wide awake
Hate breeds hope
Raze it to the ground
Raise it up again

Red Tornado
Twisted like the strings of a puppet lover
Pull back the shade, I can see your figure
Keep affections wrapped and muffled
Like the sound that ascends from the wrinkled covers
Rollin in the throes with a red tornado
I say "I'll let you go honey if I'm able"
Summer in the heat, have the sense to tell me
But before you can taste, spill the coffee over
Cupid shoots you, right back of the head
Cupid shoots you, right out of my head
I don’t want to fight when it could be over.
Honey we're the same in an open orbit
Tear apart machine with a wrench an’ socket
Bit by bit you can pull and twist it
Till it knots the nerve and you know you've done it
I go with the sun wherever it might take me
Shooting in the shade, you can be my army
I don't want to fight with a former lover
but when bombs are bursting, you're taking cover
Don’t know what to say
Cupid shoots you, right back of the head
Cupid shoots you, right out of my head

Smother
In the dusk, in our nines
We can hide from sight
Try to fight the fire
We can race the night
Full blood, bare mind
Hit the streets in disguise
There's no denying
Where our likeness lies
I loved so hard at the end of the day
I kissed your lips as we melt away
I squeezed so hard that we fell apart
Ride faster
Love harder
Die following your heart
We will ride all night
Just to find the prize
Drink the nectar down
Will the sun to rise
It's the sweet, sweet taste
Our sensations align
Keep up the pace
‘Til the end of the line

Mayday
How long
Moving through space
Light from a dead star
We’re made in its place
Long gone
We’re out of phase
Ephemeral half-life
Without any trace
Neutrons (free neutrons)
Pervasive in space
Transition to new states (transitioning)
Spontaneous change
Bounce back (resilience)
Don't lose any sleep
Don't hold your breath yet
Remember to breathe
Don’t go away
Don’t slip away
Never runaway
Oh yeah
Don't float away
Don't drift away
Better plan to stay
Oh yeah
So wrong
People in pain
You could've died
Left me with everything
Who am I
To say when you've suffered enough
Letting you go
To choose your fate

Night Lines
In pitch black, they move high voltage
In pitch black, there’s nothing passive
Nobody sees through veils of onyx
Before the sun rises they never think twice
Late night, the cars move slower
And in their minds, the world tastes sour
Overcome by a cruel affection
Before the sun rises they never think
Night lines
Sunrise
This time, it’s a race to the finish
Time stops, hours to minutes
Blood pounds with no hesitation
Before the sun rises they never think twice
Look around if the night is frightening
A slow dive to compound lightening
In pitch black, there will be no waiting
Before the sun rises they never think
Night lines
Sunrise

Revolt
Don’t stop now we’ll get away
If we keep cool heads we’ll see better days
If we stop now we’ll never get away
Don’t let go we’ll get away
Next bend ‘round there’s a straightaway
Hold on tight, we’ll get away
I’ve never been in love before
‘Cause it’s never been like this
It’s never been this pure before
Reveling in this bliss
No I’m not afraid to die
Won’t let life pass me by
Oh I know that when I die
No regrets, no goodbyes
Oh I
Oh a dragonfly
Don’t stop now we’ll get away
If we keep cool heads we’ll see better days
If we don’t stop we’ll get away
Don’t let go we’ll get away
Next bend ‘round there’s a straightaway
Hold on tight, we’ll get away
I’ve never been in love before
It’s never been like this
I’ve never felt this free before
Levitate into this
No I don’t know when I’ll die
Won’t let life pass me by
Oh I know that when I die
No regrets no goodbyes
Oh I become a dragonfly

Falling Apart

Falling Apart
Pushing buttons
Electrocution
This old heart
Is falling apart
Cut your shirt
Paddles to skin
Feels like a sin
Reanimation
Defibrillate
I'm out of my mind
Move into the white
Come into the light again
Move into the light
This falling apart
Bellicose heart
I'm not gonna wait
Machine gun
Heart attack track
Rat-a-tat-tat
Ribcage cracks
Triple bypass
Lazarus
Is raising those bones
Move into the light
Into the sky (clouds) again
Move into the white
I don't know why you get so down boy
I don't know why you get so down
I don't know why you get so down boy
I don't know why you're out of your mind

Waiting For

Waiting For
Don't need perfection
No need to justify your ways
No expectations
Only acceptance in this place
Don't need illusions
Remove the mask that hides your face
Only forgiveness,
Acceptance and grace
I'm letting go
Of my preconceived
Ideas of
The way things should be
Go with the flow
On the riverside
Watching clouds blow by
I'm not holding on
For the future
I'm staying here
In this moment
I'm holding on
To this contentment
I'm at peace
In this moment
I'm feeling peace
And if you find you've hit the floor
And you can't take it anymore
I swear it's well worth waiting for
I know it's all worth waiting
I'm letting go
Of my preconceived
Ideas of
The way things could be
Go with the flow
Through the universe
Watch it all float away

Writing On the Wall
Are you getting this
Does it make sense at all
Are you seeing this
The writing's on the wall
Or are you here at all
Is this loud enough
Is this getting through at all
Are you mad enough
The writing's on the wall
Or can you hear at all
Are you tough enough
Do you fear it all
Are you manning up
Are you here to take the fall
Or are you here at all
Is this rough enough
Are you here to play at all
When you've had enough
You know who to call
But you're not here at all
Your head's in the fog

Sour Oranges, Sweet Limes
Lifting darkness we wake
Misty mountain
Tucanes
Eau de rose
Evokes
In fields of Kosmos
We lie.
Al sereno
We taste
Sour oranges
Sweet limes
Find me at home where the air is clean
A thousand forests won't stand between
Deep down inside a serenity
Wherever I go, that's where I'll be
I’ve got a feeling
A funny feeling
I’ve got a feeling
Things are gonna go your way
