Free spirit
in a cage
Lost in the wilderness
Unleash the beast
No time for games
Look me in my eyes
Give me your energy
Attack me
Lost in my mind

I’ll stare deep inside
Look at the things which people try to hide
I’ll play a little game, just to see if we see the same
Co-stars; chemicals start to stir;
Strange perceptions of what we thought we were
Addictions they come and go; as we shape and we grow and we start to know
You’re an upper spike; a vast dilate
An amphetamine…a pretty nice mistake
You’re a little rush, a spark of confidence; you’re the end to a chain coincidence
Catch and release in a gamble of a game
Cause we’re all searching for a bit of the same
Look for comfort, hope for support
Some distracting fun or a simple sport
Lets just chill for a moment, lets just initiate
All we gotta do is appreciate, try not to expect or to alleviate
You’re a pretty distraction,
and if we play this right
we can make a pretty faction
You’re a therapy,
you’re an escape;
you’re anything I choose to make
You’re an upper spike; a vast dilate
An amphetamine…a pretty nice mistake
You’re a little rush, a spark of confidence; you’re the end to a chain coincidence
Baby baby gonna take me higher
baby take me close up to the fire
yeah you my love drug take me higher
baby gonna make me perspire
but this is all just mental illusion
causing me my great pollution
I gotta break out
Gotta break free
I gotta set my self free

Murder The Animals

I am an animal
You see me everyday
I only know innocence
That’s why I deserve to pay
Murder me
Murder the animals
Cause murder is such a nice word
For the papers everyday
cages devour
increasing the power
the blood starts to flower
in our final hour
Murder me
Murder the animals
I am an animal
Like you

I'm waiting for a wave to overflow my shore
I want a change of vibe, things are starting to get slow
People are always looking for salvation, even at the cost of their mind
They display their empty victories, they stop trying, they’d rather hide
Mr. Homo-sapien you’re just to scared to try and sing
So you try to hold me down cause you’re afraid that I might win
Bring them down to your level; another shallow victory
So you’d try to hold me down instead of trying to find and be
Hallucinations in the sky, spirits in my eye; why don’t you try?
Adolescence, it feels like a divorce
it’s got advantages but you miss the simple source
A puppet show of poetry; a sultry dance without a rule
We’re all waiting here downstairs, trying to keep it cool
Hallucinations in the sky, spirits in my eye; why don’t you try?

Lost In Passion

Let’s get lost inside passion tonight
In this deep state of mind we have nothing to hide
Cast of your mask and show me your soul
Or else we’ll drown in your mind’s black hole
I see the ocean in your eyes
Let’s get out I’m trapped when I need to fly
Lost in Your body’s cage
Reflect on your inner rage
Get lost in your passion and understand your age
understand your rage
Reflective soul
Go and reach your goal
look inside your mind
what your subconscious hides
take a trip to far away
there’s no reason left to stay in this dark decay
Oh…don’t go off the deep end my friend
stay inside tonight, shine your light tonight my friend
don’t go off the deep end
You get lost!
In your sonic sphere
you get lost inside your dormant fear
of the darkness and your inner space
there’s nothing here left to face
in the darkness, you've gotta hide
or little child you wont survive for too long
you wont survive if you aint strong tonight
tonight
hold on for one more night tonight
tonight my friend, don’t go off the deep end

The Thorn

Seek confusion in me; I'm your favourite enemy
Find me in the dark side; were I can confide
The rain’s no longer cleansing; I think it’s starting to divide
Lost in conversation; everybody starts to hide
You’re the nightingale, I'm the thorn
I need your song to keep me warm
I wanna go deep in your heart
You know they say love will tear us apart
You’re the pause, I'm the repeat
You’re upfront, I'm discreet
Break down my barriers, break down my wall
Give me your hand, catch me when I fall
You are shelter, I am rain
I am darkness, you are pain
Can you snort me? We need a rush…we need salvation in a touch
Structures breaking, falling down
Structures breaking, falling down
We’re all waiting in the ground, we’re all searching for a sound

Not Alone
04:51
|

Fuck me like a flower; bathe me in colour
Exorcise ignorance and embrace me
Scream your sorrow into my eye
I'm the only one who seems to care, to stare
I want you, in me, in my vicinity
Free to be, free to see…there in the distance
there, there
It's not my home I don't live here any more
It's not my home
It's not my home
I don't feel safe here any more
we're not alone
Free from the shadow of man man man…go away
Woman, mother, lover, take over, take me over
The clock starts to run away and everyone seems sad sad sad
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck me, fuck me!
Arbitrary mishaps, diverged miles, mental journeys, misplaced smiles
Smile me all night, embrace the silence of uncertainty and break my protection
Words are games and people are strange and I am deranged, but I like it, won't you?

Blanketed hearts strewn across the ocean sky
Unravelling childhood dreams and childhood eyes
Lost in the tree’s of time, lost in the dreams of wine
Flashes of colours pass us by; when we leave our shades in the car
Leave your shades in the car
Your hand is burning fire, your eyes a lucid dimension
Time waves the birds which pass us by; trapped in eternal suspension
There’s a hole in the clouds for you and me
Imagination dancing in purest form for all to see
The openness of love and sensitivity
Damaged hearts all around us, why can’t they see?
Leave your shades in the car; leave your shades in the car
The earth caresses me; lovely shrieks of lunacy
Suicides all around us, why can’t they see?
Circles all around, circles which surround
River flows inside a sound
Bringing me back to the ground
Circles turning all around
A new dimension safe in sound
Leave your shades in the car; leave your shades in the car
The earth caresses me; lovely shrieks of lunacy
Suicides all around us, why can’t they see?

Animal Voices

Can you hear the animals speak?
When the souls in conjunctions meet
Energy which flows out off their heads
Fighting for a species almost dead
The stars crossed us I feel
Because the world we have to heal
And this dream feels so real
Our love is so surreal
The cats run with the gods alone
We know we share the same home
Its being depleted
By demons elited
Searching for the answers
We are the spirit dancers
No need for discretiony
I am you and you are me
We keep passing through the realities
We keep reinventing the premises
And I am you united
Our souls are ignited
Trees whisper their approval
Fighting fires so brutal
As we open each other’s eye
And teach our souls to fly
The stars crossed us I feel
Because the world we have to heal
And this dream feels so real
Our love is so surreal
The cats run with the gods alone
We know we share the same home
Its being depleted
By demons elited
Searching for the answers
We are the spirit dancers
No need for discretiony
I am you and you are me
We found utopia in spring
Madness underneath the moon in unregistered frequencies
We’ve felt the stabs of icy daggers before
And wince
When the moon howls the portraits back to us
We found comfort in illusion
Our stories which we bricked together in a fortress
The protector of our dreams
Exposed in our ripples
Caught up in broken glass which we drank from another’s fingers
I’ve lost count of the times we’ve blacked out
Reverting back to silence
The memories fade and new ones are bloomed beneath the sun
I’ll see you again
The stars will show us when
And even though you’re far away
Your love stays with me everyday
The stories which we've shared
Like children eyes so bare
Feeling all the energy
Free of the complexity
Opening our eyes
Exposing the lies
Free from reality
Life is a mystery

The Escape Artist
04:48

I will escape, from this dream of reality
I will run, I will hide, from all dark energy
The eyes have been freed, from the safety glass
The truth has been perceived, I will escape, I will dance
Energy building vertically, fires erupting inside of me
Light will be elevating, I will be revelating
My rope to the outside, I want to be alive
These walls are choking me, safe white conformity
I will escape, I’m the escape artist
Come with me, if you want to see
If you want to be alive
If you want to survive
The city streets are filled with lies, demons grazing with the flies
My escape lies in the sky, the heavens show were meaning lie
Energy building vertically, fires erupting inside of me
Light will be elevating, I will be revelating
My rope to the outside, I want to be alive
These walls are choking me, safe white conformity
I’m the escape artist X3

You, have you lost your way?
My spirit guides me through everyday
Tomorrows another day x
Ooooooooooh
Oh am I
so afraid to be lost and not found?
Oh am I
so afraid
to be lost and never found
never found again
I'm not really one to believe
In coincidential circumstances
cause I am one that believes
Everything happens for a reason
You tell me that I can feel like you
but I can't
feel anything
I say you don't have to look so beautiful
so beautiful
You tell me that I can say what I want
but you don't
Listen to me
I tell you that I will say what I want
but I can't
say anything
say anything
say anything to me
say anything
You, have you lost your way?
My spirit guides me through everyday
tomorrows another day
