Teenage Dream
05:50
|
|||
|
As the past reaches out to me
It shakes me to the core
I’m falling from reality
Like never I fell before
Holds me like no other spell
I’m floating in between
Drifting from this outer shell
Caught in a teenage dream
Time’s ticking backwards
Unraveling so smooth
In a maze of actors
Searching for inner youth
We try to understand the way
By setting up the scene
Speaking lines in a mortal play
Living a teenage dream
The Polaroid comes into focus
A thousand words or more
Freedom from the canvass
Flying like Salvador
Posing as a wannabe
I play against the stream
Freeze frame what was inside of me
Born of a teenage dream
Born of a teenage dream
Born of a teenage dream
Born of a teenage dream
Born of a teenage dream

Everything is Zen
04:40

Water falling from the sky
It’s starting to lighten up
Colours are bursting bright
Like the colour in your eyes
They burst on forth, push back the night
Gazing at the nightfall lightshow
I was dreaming under the glow
Speculating my time away again
That’s when it all begins to get slow
What was spinning moments ago
Is suspended in my mind
Everything is Zen
Everything is Zen
Everything is Zen
Everything is Zen
Waves come rolling up to me
They pull the worries out
Leave me feeling sweet
Like the dimples in your cheeks
I’m floating free, floating free

Stratosphere
05:56
|
|||
|
Turning to the setting sun
I remember how it all begun
Those eyes were like a firestorm
Burned into me till the break of dawn
Forgetting everything
I was sent into the stratosphere
Hold onto the deep blue
It’s about to get so crazy in here
Hold onto the deep blue
It’s about to get so crazy in here
I’m coming down
Looking around
So much to see here with you
So much to be here for you
Let’s walk along the seawall
Let’s talk about our freefall
I’m talking freefalling
Back into the stratosphere with you
I’m talking freefalling
Back into the stratosphere with you

Stargaze Me
05:01
|
|||
|
Crimson splatter
The echoes in my mind
Like a fissure under sea
Nothing matters
What follows from behind
Has the power over me
Why can’t I breathe?
Why can’t I breathe?
Why can’t I breathe?
Why can’t I breathe?
You stargaze me
You stargaze me
You stargaze me
You stargaze me
Sunlight enters
Dark is long ago
I’m a bird in open sky
What’s the matter?
My future’s all aglow
No point in asking why

Fade Away
06:50
|
|||
|
The sound, the sound
That’s going round and around
It haunts my dreams
And leaves me somewhere between
Your smoke and my dopamine
I fall into
The remnants of you
The leaves come crashing
To the ground
Don’t you fade away
Don’t you fade away
Why would you ever fade away?
Fade away
With muted voice
My shadow crosses your space
To end up in nowhere land
Reach out your hand
Show me your face
Don’t you fade…
No don’t you fade away
No don’t you fade away
Why would you ever fade away?
Don’t you ever fade away
It’s a hard path to go down
It’s a monumental breakdown
Can’t you try to turn it around?
Slow the shit down
Keep your feet above the ground
Scream before you fade

Sunflowers
05:20
|

|
Come in, come in
We are all coming in
From the dark
From the shade
To where the sunflower’s made
You take me, you make me
Your blossoming pride
I, I, I, I shoot it to you
We look to the sun
You and you and you and you and you and you
Look to the sun too
Love let it grow
Love let it grow
Grow and grow
Know and know and know and know and know and…
I, I, I, I shoot it to you

Against the Tide
06:35
|
|||
|
In these times
In these times
I sit back
By the water’s edge
Under the moon
I reflect
Where am I?
Where am I going to?
I want to swim
Against the tide
I want to have a look inside
Of my universe
Calling out to me
Do you wanna be free?
I’m gonna swim
Against the tide
It’s my wish
My only wish
To complete me
To have the eye to see
Beyond the face of things
Into the heart
Who am I?
Who am I gonna be?

One Destiny
06:26
|
|||
|
Wind at my back
Horizon in front of me
A million places to go
But there’s only one destiny
Making peace with the past
Rearranging reality
A billion reasons to roam
But there’s only one destiny
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And it’s right here waiting for you
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Like a Stargate pulling us through
Blaze ahead
Blaze ahead
Blaze ahead
Blaze ahead
Time’s ticking away
Into an endless sea
A trillion suns light the sky
But there’s only one destiny
Holding on to the heart
In a moment eternally
Infinite thoughts come and go
But there’s only one destiny
