Surreal Skyway
04:01
|
|||
Living in a concrete head space,
Cut and dry, predictable
Prophecy is self-fulfilling,
A method you control
Sometimes we need a shakeup,
A dose of unreality
Sometimes that wrong left turn,
Holds the magic key
Hit me up for a test drive,
On the skyway of sound
Fire up the ignition,
It's a journey profound
Hit me up for a test drive,
On the skyway of light
Grab the wheel with both hands,
And prepare to take flight
Grounded tangible existence,
Comfortable, familiar
Taking our routines for granted,
Passing time becomes a blur
If you need rejuvination,
A way to spark the inner flame
Here's your route to new sensations,
You will never feel the same
(Chorus)

Confession
05:16
|

When you asked me on to the dance floor,
It broke my heart 'cause I couldn't dance
Outwardly I have all the answers,
Truth is, it's so hard taking a chance
Below the surface,
Insecurity
Can I deliver,
On this image of me?
Here's my confession,
I'm not who I seem
A daily struggle,
Trying to measure up to me
When it came my turn to deliver,
I blanked out, it was over my head
It seemed like I had it together,
If they only knew, I would've fled
(Chorus)

Our supply ship is four days late,
And now the communication systems are down
Will we be found?
At the time it was so romantic,
Pioneering a planet - uncharted ground,
But where are we now?
We all knew of the risks inherent,
Wearing glasses of rose-tint
Now darkness enshrouds,
What was that sound?
(Hold on) Hold on one more day
(Hold on) Help will come our way
(Hold on) Hold on one more day
(Hold on) Help will come our way
Warning screams from a hostile creature,
Spine-shivering sound that haunts my brief dreams
Now I can't sleep
Captain says that the atmosphere,
Is thinning with every hour - there's no relief
I struggle to breathe
(Chorus)
My wife and daughter
Wish I could tell them,
I love them so
What if they knew I was not coming home anymore
Now it's time for me to let go

In My Nature
03:22
|
|||
I draw my life as an arrow in slow motion,
Straight and steady down the track
Not trying to change the world or conjure deep emotions,
Just want to see this through and have something to play back
Could be it's in my nature
Not Takin' It To the Streets,
It's just a hook, supported by a backbeat
No Revolution Nine,
It's just a track - the world will carry on just fine
It's kind of fun to aim straight down the center,
Don't overreach, don't under-serve
Just iterate, no need for grand adventure,
Just want to finish this and have something to preserve
Could be it's in my nature
(Chorus)
