Verse 1 Pull back the scenery Looking at the things That we were in… to Would you like to see it again Living in another day Blowing the dust away Picking off the remnants remove the old clay Before it all decayed Bring it to a simpler play Chorus Ohhh that's a long time ago Take a look around They'll think you're too slow Welcome to life's latest playground Your lucky if you can be found Ohhh I didn't know if you'd make it Ohh there's no time to fake it Welcome to life's latest playground You know you're gonna get shaked down Verse 2 Dreams of the analog The Rock n roll stopped Then so did hip hop Oohh We finally got Down to the digital age Ditch the tape They were so afraid To be left behind In the Pro Tools cage Leave it on loop And let it play Only one thing to say Chorus Ohhh that's a long time ago Take a look around They'll think you're too slow Welcome to life's latest playground Your lucky if you can be found Ohhh I didn't know if you'd make it Ohh there's no time to fake it Welcome to life's latest playground You know you're gonna get shaked down Verse 3 Change the way that we will talk Small little devices became so smart High blood pressure it can monitor your heart And tell you how much you weigh Want to eat out Or find a restaurant It can deal with that And keep a tab Running Pay the bill Without leaving Your place Or see a face Chorus Ohhh that's a long time ago Take a look around They'll think you're too slow Welcome to life's latest playground Your lucky if you can be found Ohhh I didn't know if you'd make it Ohh there's no time to fake it Welcome to life's latest playground You know you're gonna get shaked down Verse 4 Getting bored no place to go Switch on the pc talk to the world Got a million friends you know But none that would really help See a person on the street Looking dishevelled With nothing on their feet Ask for money But you look the other way Cause there's nothing in your pocket to pay

Tormented smiles 04:28

V1 Ooh Think it over To every word that came out of your head Can't get over What U really felt & said U know It struck me As you poured out and bled All the crimes against you Was really all in your head Chorus Tormented smiles That's all what's behind that door Leave it all behind So what you waiting for V2 You came and gave me Every little bit of friend That you had for the moment Never thought that time would end Delight in destruction Wasn't really a way to mend Constant reaction To a threat that never was sent Chorus Tormented smiles That's all what's behind that door Leave it all behind So what you waiting for Middle 8 Hold on to this Whatever it happens to be Don't try to hide Or fight it endlessly V3 So the party’s over It’s time that we went our own way It’s all a little different now We’ve changed through the way they we played The style and customs Taking us through the day You can keep or leave them It don’t matter unless you say Solo Verse 4 There's nothing left now Or so we could make it that way Leave or stay behind Does it make a difference today? Continue with deception I don't play that game Had enough for eons I'll leave it for you and your blame

Verse 1 Who would run away So I can't engage with this plot I can be me feel so freely even when its not Does it matter who's to win When the sound of breaking up sucks Devastation is on bordering to take the whole damn lot Chorus Footsteps and motorcades the traffic jams are non stop roll the window all the way in case of extreme emotional block Verse 2 We went on holiday The Champ Elyse's run amok Too tired to celebrate The circumstances of luck Theatre and restaurants They featured in a blur Too much two voices said Only brought on more of the hurt Chorus 2 Footsteps and motorcades the traffic jams are non stop roll the window all the way in case of extreme emotional block Middle 8 Slight of head deceptions Accelerate the rot Too much indiscretions Bring it all to stop Verse 3 Memories and photographs U can take it all away Don't need reminding Or want the pain to stay Move it on It's so boring Travel on and play Tomorrow will be different There'll be something else to say Chorus 3 Footsteps and motorcades the traffic jams are non stop roll the window all the way in case of extreme emotional block

Travelling Psychonaut 03:12

V1 Something happened today I never experienced before Just as blown away In every way Just follow the light A brief interlude into our time Bring back day & night Its how we bind V2 Foot- steps run away They wanted to be lost and found Chosen holidays Another get away Just follow the light A brief interlude into our time Bring back day & night Its how we bind V3 Travelling psychonaut You're visiting different realms Consciousness expandable You've seen it all Just follow the light A brief interlude into our time Bring back day & night Its how we bind Middle 8 Thoughts flow through your eyes Every one of them captivating Down time is to survive A journey of travel and enlightenment V4 Avoiding airports They take up too much time Moving from port to port You can use your own mind Just follow the light A brief interlude into our time Bring back day & night Its how we bind V5 Split dimensions are fraught With different experiences Entities can be sought For another way Just follow the light A brief interlude into our time Bring back day & night Its how we bind

(Verse 1) It is summer and the heat is high We're got a reputation City lights fill up the sky A dance floor invitation (Chorus) When the music comes alive More than a little bit When we have got the night To dance away Who will testify, just a little bit That we have got the night To dance our worries away Beneath the disco lights (Verse 2) There's a rhythm in our souls own way We can't resist the sound of A groove that's taking over today As we move around the dance floor (Chorus) When the music comes alive More than a little bit When we have got the night To dance away Who will testify, just a little bit That we have got the night To dance our worries away Beneath the disco lights (Verse 3) This party's so alive, We're grooving together, the vibe's is oh so right Hope this feeling lasts forever (Chorus) When the music comes alive More than a little bit When we have got the night To dance away Who will testify, just a little bit That we have got the night To dance our worries away (Verse 4) The dance floor's on fire, the energy's high We're moving our bodies, reaching for the sky (Chorus) When the music comes alive More than a little bit When we have got the night To dance away Who will testify, just a little bit That we have got the night To dance our worries away (Chorus) When the music comes alive More than a little bit When we have got the night To dance away Who will testify, just a little bit That we have got the night To dance our worries away.

Black eyed moon 04:20
lyrics

(Verse 1) Lights in a cavern, make shadows cast Space feeling in my head, a sense so vast Run away from chaos, to find some peace Limp like the undead, search for release (Verse 2) Torn is a member, broken unfed Delight is heaven, or so they said If shame didn't take you, nothing will Lost in the darkness, trapped in a hell (Chorus) Black eyed moon, haunts all my dreams The shattering void that echoes and screams The pain within (Verse 3) Limbs so heavy, heart weighed down In this haunted place, I endlessly drown Seeking solace, but finding none In this twisted world, I come undone (Verse 4) Heaven's delight, a distant dream Broken and torn, not as it seemed The shame of it all, a load to bear As I stumble through the darkness, gasping for air (Chorus) (Bridge) Once tri-semester I'll howl at the moon Constant reactions Plagued by attraction to… (Chorus)

Alone 04:51

Verse Another day has said goodbye The sunset says its finalized The wasted hours spent in vain The tragedy mixed with the pain Lonesome set in long ago The empty room no sound echoes A different time another place the conversations with a face The realization your to blame Or were you in this silly game You think you've got no control It happens but you didn't know Your not in the loop Or so you think It's all one great big stink The other's seem to get along But you're left here listening to this song Chorus Alone in your room Alone Friends less than few Alone in yourself Alone There's no one else Alone What can you do Alone No one wants you Alone So hard to be Alone It's solitary Verse The world goes by without a friend To call your own It never ends To try so hard But always fail A curse a hex a dizzy spell It feels like one must have been lain How else does it always feel this way To live in hope I always tell Myself to keep from that hell The difference is just so plain When talking to another name Be stuck on earth with nothing to show The same old things that won't let go The heavy weight it pushes down The constant screams that make no sound That others hear or even care To recognize that you're even there

Fragments 04:26

V1 Take a walk into Winterland of your consciousness And understanding Fragments Time waits and then expands Take you further Its in your hand Oh Fragments Leading on where the road is long The desire is strong To belong But it's fragmented It's tiring To bottle it in Remembering Those glory days V2 Dreams before start to unfold They coagulate before explod..ing Oh, Fragments Through the haze The memories kill Lost deep in the halls Of forgotten wills Still, it's fragmented The yearn for release To find inner peace That holding on Begs for a cease From being fragmented But hope remains Where the teardrops fall A chance to recover One and all Embrace the fragmented Middle 8 Who is the soul Blundering, hungering on and on Moving for long Objectify Between the eyes of a lens Foolish pride Discovering Illusions of such kind Brings them all in To satisfy The lust from deep within V3 On winding road And journeys past A critical eye Was severely cast Oh Fragments Dividing up Whose to fall The deviant ones Think they're standing tall But they're fragments Bleeding, bruised Black & all Conflicts endured Leave you big or small Does it matter The end is nigh No beginning is straight Complications are part of fate As their fragments I

Verse 1 Really pleased to meet you Even though we go our own way I..I..I can't say what it comes down to all this back & forth But we were here to stay The sun stopped shining no longer blinding our eyes it dropped low disappeared from view no more shadows or doubts cast away those old ties Verse 2 So the years have passed you time has gotten away I don't know what happened it went so fast and slow thats what we had to pay Our bodies are ravaged by the seasons and their play gets so hard can't see the way ahead out of the situation circumstance and day Middle 8 The Steeple's high Church is low In these times Where do we go Verse 3 In a different universe Another way of life What would have happened? Would it be the same thing that we did for all those years All that sacrifice Really pleased to meet you Even though we go our own way I..I..I can't say what it comes down to all this back & forth But I can say I enjoyed our play
