Above my head
I see a starry constellation
And when I dream
Another galaxy's creation
A distant realm
My mind is found and it is taken.
I wander free, in reverie
In a world that's mine, lost in time, eternity.
Floating amongst the stars
Wondering who we are
I'm learning how to fly
Floating amongst the stars
Wondering who we are
I've travelled across the sky
While I drift from afar
I am holding a star
And wherever you are
I'll guide you home
But before you know I'm gone.
Was it all just a dream?
Fell apart at the seams?
Can you tell if this is reality?
Well, not for me, and now...
In the velvet sea of night
There are cosmic trails of starlight
That light up your face
With a warm embrace
It's a wonderful sight
Floating amongst the stars
Wondering who we are
I'm learning how to fly
Floating amongst the stars
Wondering who we are
I've travelled across the sky
And we all live together
It's us 'til the end
If you see what I see
Then please tell a friend
I'm floating amongst the stars
Across the sky...

Taken For A Ride
03:14
|
|||
I've been taken for a ride on a lonely road
But I've nowhere to go
I'm seeing pretty things at the edge of the sky
That no one else knows
Now I'm flying all across the sky
I'm flying all across the sky
Don't turn your back on a revelation
You've just gotta glide
Learn how to master your expectations
And that on that ride
Now you're flying all across the sky
You're flying all across the sky
Don't you cry your pretty little eyes
There's a world outside your mind
Whispers in your head become a thunderous roar
But it's all too much
You can't take anymore
All is not lost
Just look to the sky
Take a deep breath
And let out a sigh
Passion building
You're taking flight
Now you're flying all across the sky
You're flying all across the sky
Don't you cry your pretty little eyes
There's a world outside your mind

Breakthrough
03:52
|
|||
I've been stuck in this room
For more than a year
Calling on zoom
Got pain in my ear
I'm getting chubby
It's giving me fear
This lasts for a lifetime
But the end's drawing near
My eyes are wide open
But I can't see clear
The need to escape now
For fear of a meltdown
We're falling apart
Your eyes are my mission
A sweet disposition
It's breaking my heart
I'll dance with you
We just need a breakthrough
There's wind in my hair
And warmth on my skin
The front door is closing
It won't let me in.
As far as the eye can see
Rain falls from the sky
Fulfilling our destiny
But never knowing why

Virtual Reality
04:05
|
|||
Plug me in
Online surfing
Racing down the highway
Cyber in my mind
Connected to computers
Humans intertwined
I've become a robot
In perfect harmony
Living in a work of fiction
For everyone to see
Living virtually
In a new reality
Driving in hovercars
Buy my all-new virtual avatars
We don't need our planet
We're comfortable and free
And everything is burning
But it doesn't bother me
Mining for gold in the open seas
Information is currency
Minting pictures of monkeys
Mocked by our future's history
In a world where we must hold on for our lives
(Plug me in)
We escape the negativity and the lies
(Online surfing)
Make the same mistakes again and again and again
(Living virtually)
Suffering the same old fate until the end
(In a new reality)

Stranded
03:26
|
|||
Falling from what feels like a great height
Despite my clinging on I continue to keep falling
Stranded on a desert island
With no one to see or hear it feels so appalling
Oooh
Forever feeling lost out at sea
Oooh
Washing over every memory
It's all I can see
Free me from my dreams
With open eyes
I'm letting the light in
Gathering thoughts and feelings
Seeking out adventure
Oooh
Once forever lost out at sea
Oooh
Now's the time to make new memories
It's all I can see
Free me from my dreams
Stuck in between
Real life is nothing like it seems
It's all I can see
Free me from my dreams
Stuck in between
Real life is nothing like it seems
Real life is nothing like it seems
Real life is nothing like it seems

Every Waking Moment
07:35
|
|||
Every waking moment
Misshapen and I'm tired
A vacant feeling lingers on my mind
Staring at the pavement
Can't bear to look around
For fear of what the other people find
Something's got to change
A life can re-arrange
But I am scared that I cannot rewind
Dread now towers over
I'm just trying to fuel the fire
Wondering what hope I can see
High up in the mountains
And deep within a city
Is the answer staring back at me?
Or is it already there?
Am I unaware?
Locked away and I just need the key
I'm free
to get it wrong
We're free
to sing along
Picking up the pieces
To find they're all re-wired
Trying to put them back just how I found
A new communication
A new chance to survive
I'm treading lightly on unsteady ground
And now I'm rearranged
This doesn't feel so strange
Now my voice is finally safe and sound
I'm free
To get it wrong
We're free
To sing along
I'm free
To get it wrong
We all need
To belong
Happiness is in the air
I'm floating up again
And now I never want to come down
I'm free
To get it wrong
We're free
To sing along
I'm free
To get it wrong
We all need
To belong

Am I Dreaming?
02:00
|
|||
Dear diary,
I think I might be dreaming again.
I spent the afternoon jumping on cotton clouds and speaking to my demons.
They tell me the world down there is not real, that I am just a misguided being with no sense of direction.
But there are people I love, people I care about. Are they not real? That feels real.
I want to see the colours in the trees and in the sky, feel the rain on my skin. Is that so much to ask for?
Can you help me?
Please?
Can somebody help me?
I feel like I'm drifting off again.
I feel like I'm...

Alan the Rat Detective
02:57
|
|||
Moments after the great cheese heist
When it seemed all the suspects were mice
Questioning everyone at least twice
His detective service is well priced
The case called for Alan
Cause people were ballin'
Shaking and nervous
They wanted it solved real nice
First Alan asked for help from Gwiffon
But all that he could find was a griffon
He was no use at all
He was too big and tall
And so Alan turned to Ricardo
To chase mice wherever they are so
Hiding cheddar, brie and asiago
Solving this crime is all they know!
They could track down the mouse
With the cheese in his house
But they need all their friends
To bring this case to its end
Then Nip joined in Alan's great adventure
Sniffing out the cheese at the centre
But the mouse was too smart
Nip was trapped near the start
And Ricardo was forced to surrender
And so Alan was left all alone
To solve this case all on his own
Alan put on his best cologne
To find a mouse that should've known
That Alan would have fun
With his sweet, sweet spoon gun
(Damn, what a sweet one)
And get paid in stacks of provolone

Boots on a Raft
02:50
|
|||
Boots went on a holiday
But no one knew the plane would take a dive
Boots was trapped on a desert island
With nothing but himself to stay alive
He figured it out
So he went on a mission
With trees and leaves he knew he'd survive
He escaped out of here
It's Boots on a Raft!
He feels no more fear
It's Boots on a Raft!
Boots escaped on a makeshift raft
Lashed together with effort and graft
Setting sail, he left for muddy waters
But no one knew if he was gonna last
He soon ran aground
But was easily found
He'd crashed outside his home where they laughed
He escaped out of here
It's Boots on a Raft!
He feels no more fear
It's Boots on a Raft!
He escaped out of here (He did it, he really really did it now)
It's Boots on a Raft!
He feels no more fear (He did it, he really really did it now)
It's Boots on a Raft!
Yeah!

Lion
02:41
|

There was
A man called Rain
Whose cat
Was hard to contain
Oh Bean
Bean was her name
And their lives would never be the same
Terrorizing animals
Digging up dirt
Bean don't give a damn if your sofa gets hurt
Wiggling her tail and pouncing on a bird
Bean's a devious sort
Plotting trouble for sport
And poor old Rain
Will suffer the pain
Oh Bean
Bean lies in the grass
And cleans
And licks her ass
Some string
She's killed and maimed
'Cause to her it feels like a game
There's method to the madness
You just don't understand
Cats are mighty regal
Atrociously grand
Meowing and crying
'Cause food is in demand
Bean's a devious sort
Plotting trouble for sport
And poor old Rain
Will suffer the pain
Bean's a devious sort
Plotting trouble for sport
And poor old Rain
Will suffer the pain

Halitosis
02:25
|
|||
Act like you know what you are saying
While secretly inside you are praying
That no one will notice you've got halitosis
And don't know what you are conveying
If anyone asks you, just change the subject
Look to the side and throw out a deflect
Will anyone notice you've got halitosis?
And don't know what you are conveying
You haven't left your house for several days
You haven't brushed your teeth for several more
They're building up a hard and yellow glaze
Act like you know what you are saying
While secretly inside you are praying
That no one will notice you've got halitosis
And don't know what you are conveying
