Starlost
The conversation
Took a rather unexpected turn
When you decided to tell me
Your situation
That you’ve painted in no vague ambiguous tones
Is testing my sense of reality
The wolf is at your door now
He’s trying to bang it down to play that game again
Your voice fades of in obscurity
Your back’s against the ceiling looking down
You see what’s happening without a sound
It’s like you’re floating in a disconnected point of view
There’s nothing I can do to shut it down
I try to follow through but you are lost not found
It’s like I’m roaming in a disconnected déjà vu
I’m running round the streets again
Looking for your secret loft
I’m running round the streets again
But I never find my Starlost
I never did find out
Whatever happened to my mysterious friend
It all seems like such a weird dream now
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
But after all of this time
I still feel the same way
I’m always just a Hotmail away

Pointless
Day in day out every second now
Your mind’s going hazy
What to wear, what to do, what to think
It’s gonna drive you fucking crazy
Keep up with the Joneses, get that shiny car
And win that new promotion
Best friends to your face, turn your back
And they will call for your demotion
You only try to get ahead
But the surface tension just grows instead
You can’t see it’s pointless…pointless…pointless…
You don’t know if but I’m
Showing you the other side in your sleep
You won’t remember when you wake up
Now you’re living like a sheep
It’s about to get real, so fall asleep…again
Break open a new face, stick it on
And be a pretender
You gotta show ‘em you’re in it to win it
And you’ll never surrender
Holy cow! I really think you
Got something going now
Take a bow, you made it in the big league
Coz you’re so wow!

Better Man
I’ve been searching for something
That would lead me to a better place
I’ve been wandering round like a ghost
Since I glanced upon your pretty face
I’ve been working for the man
In a job that I can’t escape
It gives me something to get by on
But getting by is just a temporary state
Oh, oh, what keeps me moving on
Oh, oh, oh, staying strong
To be a better man
I’ve been guiding all my days
To a brighter, clearer space
The ghost in me has found another way
To enter into that hidden place
I hope one day my life is guidance to
The open mind of my favourite daughter
And on a mountain may I rest my bones
And may name be never writ in water

Hotel Classic
I’m in the Hotel Classic just lying down
Listening to the music playing in the background
I’m in the Hotel Classic down on St. Denis
The summer heat is drastic, It’s going to liquefy me
The sound of the music buried in the distance
Spinning so hypnotic, an acoustic incense
Into my body electric, yea
Seventeen, that’s how I feel
I’m caught in time but I know
That my min’s a shrine
And I, I wanna sail through the afternoon
Without a care in my life
Without a care in my life
Hotel Classic, yea, yea, yea
Hotel Classic, oh yea
Hotel Classic, yea, yea
Hotel Classic, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Hotel Classic, I’m undoing time
Hotel Classic, I’m undoing time
Hotel Classic, I’m undoing time
Hotel Classic, I’m undoing time

High School
The years creep up like dust on a window pane
My body feels the rust that lies behind an urban brain
One more sleep, one more dream of yesteryear
The road ahead is steep and seems to disappear
What if I could turn back time
And roam these halls again
What a blast it would be to hang out
With all my friends again
The world I once knew is changing now and forever
There’s no way to undo the rippling into the future
The ripples into my future…
Now I see what this moment’s for
Now I see what this moment’s for
I’m living in a teenage body
My mind many decades ahead
And I’ve come back to Riverdale high school
To put the old teacher to bed
It’s so clear to my mind how I can reshape the future
There’s no way to unbind the rippling into forever
The ripples into forever…
Now I see what this moment’s for
Now I see what this moment’s for
Past and future right behind the door
Past and future make me want no more

House Party
It’s a house party, everybody let loose and let go
All my friends are here
And David’s in the basement
Setting up all the gear
It’s an open house, my parents are away
The summer’s here I’m feeling ok
Beer caps are flying
Another down the hatch
As Genesis keeps on playing
It’s the promised land
There are no rules
For this kind of teenage brand
Where did Heather go?
She snuck into my brothers’ room
To find a bed to lay her head
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a house party
(It’s not till something gets broken)
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a house party
(Don’t let the booze do all the talkin')
Pass the bong around it’s time to get high
I’m sipping on a beer so my mouth won’t get dry
I hear the bikers as they pull up outside
I can’t believe the neighbours haven’t called the cop line
Say what’s your name?
Haven’t I seen you round here before?
I just got a job
There’s money in my pocket
And a mustang in the driveway, in the driveway
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a house party
(Wardrobe malfunction in the kitchen)
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a house party
(This baby’s rockin’ and a bitchin’)
Now, come on, come on in
Don’t take your shoes off
Leave your judgment at the frontdoor
I know what you’re looking for
What you’re looking for
You’ll feel right at home
You’re in my party zone

Undertow
There’s nothing stranger
And overwhelming in the undertow
My watch is stuck on forever
I’m going down to the dark below
The landscape fades around me
And what I used to know is there no more
I’m drifting in eternity
Washing up onto a distant shore
There’s nothing stranger
And nothing seems to move so slow
It’s now or never
I’m gonna make it through the undertow

Teachings of the Sun
I’ll tell you a little secret
Come a little closer
The only way to wrap your brain around it
Close your eyes and let your mind move over
Invisible, streaming out from the sun
A transcoder of intelligent source
Perpetual, blessing everyone
With a life and with a higher purpose
It’s your life so find a higher purpose
Bask in my rays, I’ll keep you safe
Follow my ways, I’ll keep you safe
Bask in my rays, I’ll keep you safe
Follow my ways, I’ll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
In every waking moment
There’s a choice in front of you
No more hesitation
Spread your wings into the blue of night
Synchronicity unbound
What is lost is always found
As you come you always go
The last breath, the first hello
The last time you will ever know
