Different People 04:12

I been living on the ghost of nothing since the day I died. Now I’m making it alive again ‘cause I can’t be denied. You were bright like the sun, so I thought that you would warm my soul. But your scared ass collapsed and I fell into your big black hole. I tried to work it but … Uh-oh, oh no, no go – we’re different people. Don’t pretend that you’re a settled soul when you’re a Rubik’s Cube. Ya gotta have a side or three figured out before I talk to you. Hey I gave you a shot but all it got me was shot-shot down. Hey I wish you the best but don’t you ever come back around. Uh-oh, oh no, no go – we’re different people. B----. We’re different people. (We lost sight of each other in different ways - and when we found each other again - and when we regained that sight - when we regained the sight of each other we found that we were different people.)

I can’t say why you made me hate you. I don’t know, and I don’t care. I don’t do those politics no more. I don’t care that kinda thing no more. I can’t say why I’m better without you. I don’t know, and I don’t care. I don’t do those politics no more. I don’t care that kinda thing no more. All I know is when you took your stuff and moved away, it was just like fucking Christmas Day. Now that you have gone so far away, every day is just like Christmas Day.

SNo Globe 04:06
lyrics

There’s nothing real about it. It’s only in the snow globe. There’s nothing real about it – nothing real. I met a girl. She showed me the world. But she wasn’t a girl, then she took it away. I built a world with a so-called “girl”, but the face she showed me wasn’t really her face. My head is clear. There’s nobody here. Everything she showed me was a hermetic lie. Inside her globe, where nobody goes – it’s all she knows. It’s where she’ll live and she’ll die. You never know someone until you know someone. And when you know someone, you never know….

Any Universe 04:05
lyrics

I built your home with a retracting dome so you could see the sky is ours whenever. The universe, a cathedral of words, your whisper warm and soft and loud and clever. It’s no big thing to hear the ring from when the world clocked in to start its ticking. The matter’s dark, a static spark that fractured from the whole and started sticking. I should have waited for the flame. I should have waited for the universe to move. I know it’s different but the same, and I can move in any universe with you. The black holes are your eyes that eat the galaxies. They suck me through right into you. They keep expanding – sideways 8 – my tendencies to witness everything through you. I should have waited for the flame. I should have waited for the universe to move. I know it’s different but the same, and I can move in any universe with you. Show me, I can’t see it for myself. Hold me, I never want anyone else. You are my first in any universe. There’s not a universe where I don’t thirst for you are first and…

Me You & Everyone 05:18
lyrics

There’s no time but now to get out of your skin. You’re not an observer, you’re always in. And if you take that jump, you can’t choose how you fall. ‘Cause when you give it up, you give it all. So if you need to break and run, and trampoline into the sun, me & you & everyone – we’re dying. It’s a disease we can’t outrun, so we trampoline into the sun. Me & you & everyone, we’re flying. We’re all confusing desire with despair. Trying to burn bright, but running on air. And when you feel that crush, it’s not the thing you know. It’s only that you’ve lost, so just let go. So if you need to break and run, and trampoline into the sun, me & you & everyone – we’re dying. It’s a disease we can’t outrun, so we trampoline into the sun. Me & you & everyone, still flying. I give it all to the sun.

Take a look up to the sky. Open eyes don’t wonder why. Only you and the earth and sky. Don’t wonder why. Don’t wonder why. Nothing else but the now & here. Never stop and you’ll never fear. Gotta love that it’s always here. Never stop – you’ll never fear. Shine and sparkle, it never ends. It never ends and it never ends. Sparkle shine shine … ahhhhh.

Up All Day 04:41
lyrics

Sometimes in the middle of the evening, I find things aren’t so bad. I find in the middle of the evening that you’re the best thing I’ve ever had. My life in the middle of the evening wasn’t always so serene. I found in the middle of my evenings that I didn’t always know what life could mean. Then you busted on through and blew up this lonely room. You showed me who I could be if I only knew… That my life in the middle of the evening is only what I want it to be. Now I find in the middle of my evenings that I’m okay with you and me. In the middle of the evening … in the middle of the night ….

Summer of love – the summer you’re gone. How you expect for me to hang on? Time’s standing still, as time passes by. It’s all we’ve got, so why should I try? I’ve got to know …. I’ve got to know …. When will you let me go? You have my heart. You have my soul. I was a fool to give you control. Now I’m in love, and it’s hard to be, so I fantasize when you’re far from me. I’ve got to know …. I’ve got to know …. When will you let me go? It sucks that you’re so far away. I’m going mad alone and counting every day. Summer of love – the summer is now. I want you back, but I don’t know how. If this is REAL, if this is true, then I’ll find a way to get me to you. I’ve got to know …. I’ve got to know …. When will you let me go?

Ripe 05:27
lyrics

Time to put out the light and hand it over. I know it’s been a long, tough fight, but this time it’s over. Now, for you, it’s through. Hold a minute to find the path you’re taking. And what you have to leave behind will reawaken when the time (time to change now) is ripe for you. Over, under and through. Doesn’t matter how you get there. It may not go like you want it to but it’ll get you somewhere. Your eyes will light the night for you. When the time is ripe, you'll know. This is for me. This is for you. No I can't tell you what to do to fight the fear. The answer's here, waiting, when you are ready. You'll know when the time is RIPE. Star, pink and snail – the path unbroken. Talismans of the fail of hope and token love. And now the light will shine for you. Star, pink and snail: The time is ripe for you.

Slow down – constipated, scrape it all away. Over and underrated – save the world tomorrow. Blow back – hit the pavement. No one can explain. Make a promise. Shape the road you follow. Brave the world today. Brave the world. Brave the world today. Sell the world away. Save the world today.
