- Sitting all alone in my bedroom
the night above looking like a dream
I tell myself it's time to sleep
and think of what I've seen
when the beam of light appeared
and dragged me towards the sea
and high above the clouds
face to face with the stars
above
- I ache to see
where this light is dragging me
I stop to look
and feel the hook
Take me towards
the sun
- I weigh nothing
I feel my soul
reaching out towards the unknown
I say something
but I don't remember what
as I'm dragged to orbit
- I break away
from the burning light of day
the fall is steep
and I can't breathe
bring me back from the brink
I make a sound
that never reaches you
I call your name
it doesn't sound the same
from the darkness above the earth
- I weigh nothing
I feel my soul
reaching out towards the unknown
I say something
but I don't remember what
as I'm dragged to orbit
- Drag me up
don't bring me down
call all the powers
that draw from the sun
I can touch the moon
I'll come down soon
but I'm never
NEVER coming home
[REPRISE]
I fall asleep
and dream of running free
I sing this verse
it just gets worse
in our tiny universe
I fade away
from the memory
of keeping time
I've changed my mind
I want to change the world
- Drag me up
don't bring me down
call all the powers
that draw from the sun
I can touch the moon
I'll come down soon
but I'm never
NEVER coming home

This empty feeling of nothingness
will slowly overcome me
I'm waiting for an answer to
a question no one asked me
It takes a lot not to break me down
and curl up like a foetus
I know that nothing is forever
but nothing will come between us
Wrap the pain in a bundle
and throw it all away
Take a box into the forest
and set it all alight
We are alive
what are the chances that we made it this far?
I'll spend my life
at war with what's inside
Cover yourself in blankets
before the sun comes home
If I can't sleep then I can make
something worth the time
The shriek is high like a mountain cat
Your emotions move like acrobats
The tension hides behind invasive moods
drowning in a swimming pool
These moments pass like ticking hands
and every second is contraband
Memories of better days
will carry me towards my grave

Dust and Echoes

Nights and days start to blend
into one grey in between
Time passes so quickly
Its hard to understand
The moments that define me
Are open to debate
I grew up, died
and was born again only seconds ago
Hours pass in your subconscious
In a golden ratio
This measly place in this open world
is a cosmic fallacy
if you speak to ghosts or the past
How do you know who is listening?
Stars and moons begin to shine
of their own free will
Besides the glowing halo,
The sky always seems so still
And is your name gravity
or is simply time?
The story we were hoping for was a lie the whole fucking time
If you hold your breathe and bide your time
and hope to hear me
Then I tell you, you've got another thing coming
If you take your time and learn your lines
and break the monotony
Then the directions will point you towards perfection
When the black holes open up
to the ideas in your head?
Will you be the one who takes control
when the chaos comes to call?
will you open your mind,
or just your heart?
When the galaxies unravel
It's no one's fault but yours
If you are alive,
then hold me up high

Have you ever seen the snow
when spring is in full bloom?
Have you ever held a snowdrop
while gazing at the moon?
We're here for a second
that goes on eternally
the hours turn to years as we
struggle to break free
Have you ever been stargazing
while waves washed over you?
Have you ever held your breath
while time refused to move?
We're here beginning
to question our upbringing
are we grown to question
or just for subjugating
Have you ever felt the sunlight
reflected from the ground?
Have you ever felt the motion
of a river that makes no sound?
We're here to make a promise
to everyone who'll listen
join your voice with mine
and we'll circumvent the system
Look me in the eye
and tell me we'll survive

Ghosts in the Metro

I was born on the surface
but thrive in this haunted hallway
The sunlight is my enemy
and darkness is my friend
the distance between our homesteads
is full of all our hallowed souls
When the earth was atomised
so was the heaven and hell below
It's been so long
I can't remember who I am
The atom bombs
begrudge a looping memory
if this winter ends
maybe we'll loop back round the bend
Until then we're just ghosts
In the Metro
We're passengers aboard
This lifeless spectral train
No stop, no station, no end in sight;
The only future is in the headlights
There's nothing but the in between
And round we go again
no rest, no silence just endless noise
and the monsters in the shadows
