Daydreamer, Rise And Shine
Daily Dejavu, Yet still surprised.
Watch the weary world with greyscale eyes.

A millionaire in my mind,
With a pocket full of lint
Confined to a puzzle where
The pieces don't fit
Stare into a broken mirror,
Reflecting shards of fear
Daydreamer, now's your time
I refuse to die here

I refuse to die here

I see a prison of a city,
Destined for collapse
I see the worker bees buzzing in circles,
Fighting over scraps
I see a concrete garden,
Of lead and steel trees
I see the clouds swell,
With synthetic disease

A visionless man can't balance the scale,
The court of conscience slips
Secrets on the gavel written in braille,
Lie just beyond my fingertips

Daydreamer, Rise And Shine
Daily Dejavu, Yet still surprised.
Watch the weary world with greyscale eyes.

A millionaire in my mind,
With a pocket full of lint
Confined to a puzzle where
The pieces don't fit
Stare into a broken mirror,
Reflecting shards of fear
Daydreamer, now's your time
I refuse to die here

Time in constant motion,
Like the shifting desert sands
Slipping through my hands

Chasing down the minutes,
That turn into days
Seconds get shorter,
As years fall away
Chasing down my dreams
Under borrowed light
A mirage in the distance,
Escaping my sight

Driven to live or driven apart
What's inside us when we depart
Driven to live outside of regret
Time is finite, the clocks are set
Driven to live or driven apart

I realize my flame is burning away
Starward searching I will find my way
The power of the mind ready to combust
I will show you fear in a handful of dust

Combust

My flame is fleeting,
But I will live and learn
Rise and burn, Tick and Turn
Rise and burn

Time in constant motion,
Like the shifting desert sands
Slipping through my hands

Driven to live or driven apart
What's inside us when we depart
Driven to live outside of regret
Time is finite, the clocks are set
Driven to live or driven apart

You can be the change

Pain is the elixir,
That keeps us entertained
Flowing through a looking glass,
Numbing stinging eyes of shame
Absence rinses guilt away,
But our conscience is still stained
You can be the catalyst,
The ripple to the wave

You can be the change

One small step will shake the Earth

We're sedated into submission,
Apathetic addicts, Hooked on tunnel vision,
Mindless progress is a dire setback,
Humanity is slipping through the cracks

Let the pathways through our hearts guide us
To a universe where love survives us

You can be the change

One small step will shake the earth

Let the pathways through our hearts guide us
To a universe where love survives us

The earth gets smaller with everything I see
A technicolor picture on a black and white screen
There's a blackout on the ground,
But an energy above the trees
Just past the edge of sound,
So climb the ladder with me

Wanderer
Survey the shrinking globe
All your troubles seem smaller,
The farther you go
Wanderer
Never coming home
All your troubles seem smaller,
The farther you go

Shed the dead weight,
Flight will follow
From the island that world will surely swallow

Falling out of orbit
My thoughts scrambled and distorted
Sailing through space in a panic
To escape the static

Escape the static

Wanderer
Survey the shrinking globe
All your troubles seem smaller,
The farther you go
Wanderer
Never coming home
All your troubles seem smaller,
The farther you go

How clear is the air up there
Breathe easy
Breathe easy as you leave the atmosphere
Breathe easy

[Instrumental]

So cold my soul's numb,
Like an icy breeze on solstice morning
The worst enemy's one that's homegrown
This is more than just a faceless warning.

Don't let the world rot

Hanging by a thread they just putrefy,
Our blood, Our birth, Our sky
And we will not stand by
Don't let the world rot

So warm the sun burns my soul,
Like the fossils in the earth they take my breath

Black blood bleeding, Heart filled stone,
Take the power away from the hands of Death

A web of minds connected

Take purpose, Take action
Cause a reaction
Entangle the spiders,
Make sense of this mess,
A mind at large
Is a power they can't repress

We are all connected
We are one you and I,
Yeah we will not stand by

Don't let the world rot

Omnipotent mind at large
Sick of living underhanded,
This is our life we command it
Go
We can't all hide in fear,
A time of reckoning is near,
We are all connected
Don't let the world rot

We can't all hide in fear,
A time of reckoning is near,
We are all connected:
A web of minds connected

Take purpose, Take action
Cause a reaction
Entangle the spiders,
Make sense of this mess,
A mind at large
Is a power they can't repress

So alone in our digital world

The walls are closing in,
Shrinking down to the box in the palm of my hand
The shock has settled in,
Fibers and wires
Feed me the link that we desire

Every circuit getting smarter,
Every signal getting stronger,
But our ties are getting weaker,
And I see us sinking deeper

I see it sinking deeper

Flawed relations of ones and zeroes,
connecting us to our digital heroes
An anti-social network,
Where everyone's a fucking expert

I see it sinking deeper

Hollow as a hologram,
Electricity without the spark
Hearts left to flicker and fade
Out in the Dark

So alone in our digital world

Impulses flowing through my veins
Impulses flowing through copper,
Flowing in waves
It feels so close, yet so far away

Every circuit getting smarter,
Every signal getting stronger,
But our ties are getting weaker,
And I see us sinking deeper

Weightless my body
Floats in eternity
Weightless beyond the Earth's gravity
A euphoric, perpetual gaze
I taste the light of days!

Beneath a luminescent haze,
I cross the convoluted maze,
Guided by familiar sight and sound
I let go of what weighs me to the ground

Weightless my body
Floats In eternity
Weightless beyond the Earth's gravity
A euphoric, perpetual gaze.
I taste the light of days!

I am the tear in the gravity,
The universal truth is my reality,
In a drifting space,
Where the dark draws near
I am stronger than fear

Collapse under the horizon
The ruins of a thousand stars
Illuminate who we are:

No drive
No direction
Purify
My perception

Sail on
Through the rift between the sky and ocean
Sail on
Find the peace that keeps your world in motion

Stare into the face of the sun
It melts away a shell of wax
To show the world how fucked I've become:

No drive
No direction
Purify my perception

There's a desert in my head,
But an oasis in my dreams
Where veins glow in leaves,
And illuminate the breeze

I will drag my being
To the edge of the beginning
Never still, never idle
Sever me from the endless spiral

Sail on
Through the rift between the sky and ocean
Sail on
Find the peace that keeps your world in motion

Lost inside a drifting space,
Where drifting days interlace
And everything I saw so clear,
Dances then disappears

I need to be grounded
But the plates keep shifting
So I look for my place
Where this space stops drifting

The narrow road
Is all I know
No map to guide us,
No compass beside us
The narrow road,
The great unknown,
The greater sacrifice
Grants the greatest gift in life

No more assembly lines of aspirations
Connecting carbon copy clones,
Every artifact is matching,
Like commodities of flesh and bone

The consistency of our censored thoughts,
Tread a static course

Ordinary people:
Your outlook is lethal

Chiseling away imperfections,
Until rough edges are same and smooth
The tools have now become too blunt,
To break any of the rules

Post-modern minds,
Bleached blank and clean
Drawing pixelated lines,
In duller shades than my eyes have ever seen

The narrow road
Is all I know
No map to guide us,
No compass beside us
The narrow road,
The great unknown,
The greater sacrifice
Grants the greatest gift in life

No more assembly lines of aspirations
Connecting carbon copy clones,
Every artifact is matching,
Like commodities of flesh and bone

Post-modern minds,
Bleached blank and clean
Drawing pixelated lines,
In duller shades than my eyes have ever seen

We're not defined by a blueprint if we re-write the plans,
So will you paint Paradise with the stroke of an Artist's hand?
