Fallacy 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Ship shape the trap is laid, Underestimate the space between us. All aboard your heart attacks, Asymmetric rhythms beat a tattoo. Deep down inside the Sound, Over every mound and valley, Each and every one of us can say: We’ve been a fallacy haven’t we? More and more the corpus speaks, Birds can fly but not you or I can. Anyway the past is past, The future is a blasphemy I’m frightened. Deep down inside the Sound, Over every mound and valley, Each and every one of us can say: We’ve been a fallacy haven’t we? We’ve been a fallacy haven’t we? We’ve been a fallacy haven’t we?

Bumps 03:18

Bumps gonna pick you up Gonna keep you looking down upon the clouds And not the other way around now Bumps gonna spin you round Balloons keep bouncing, bouncing on the breeze Eventually they’ll smash into the ground Bumps gonna lift you up Gonna keep you looking down upon the clouds And not the other way around now Bumps gonna pick you up Balloons keep bouncing, bouncing on the breeze Eventually they’ll crash without a sound Bumps gonna keep it clean White light so blinding make you close your eyes You’re up to high to recognize that Bumps gonna tap you out ‘Cause when those bits and pieces come apart You’re not the same as what you are right now Bumps it’s a mighty ride Gonna keep those knuckles white as sugar now You’re in too deep to back it out cause Bumps gonna tap you out ‘Cause when those bits and pieces come apart You’re not the same as what you are right now Bumps gonna lift you up Gonna keep you looking down up in the clouds And not the other way around now Bumps gonna spin you round Balloons keep bouncing bouncing on the breeze Eventually they’ll crash into the ground

Higher Than Sweet Heaven 03:39
lyrics

Hey Ho so low don’t you wanna be Higher than sweet heaven looking down on me Show me the way cause I wanna be Higher than sweet heaven come and look at me Time erodes the shapes you know The shades in light that come and go If life’s a song than sing it long Shine for me Show me the way cause I wanna go Home is the place where I can be alone I might just skip out, slip out of this Skin and go for a swim in your deepest blue Floating in the tapestry I miss the days, the lilac breeze The friends and faces come and leave, Close your eyes the light you see As life begins, it never ends Begin again, collect your friends And soon the old is new again. I’m so broken breaking all up these bottles I can’t take another Time erodes the shapes you know The shades in light that come and go If life’s a song than sing it long Shine for me Hey Ho so low don’t you wanna be Higher than sweet heaven looking down on me

Got to get back to the rhythm Got to untie all the ribbons Got to shine light through your prism Got to get back to the rhythm Got to give back to the rhythm Time to give back what you’re given Got to give ‘em back while you’re living It’s a alright day night One time, one time supershow Life is an ocean, we are the stars Floating in motion, Venus and Mars Measure the moments, all that we know Minutes in motion, all right now Time’s an LP with no ending Notes in a bottle that you’re sending Each and every groove keeps on blending It’s a alright day night One time, one time supershow Got to get back to the rhythm Got to get back to the rhythm Got to give back what you’re given Got to untie all the ribbons Got to get back to the rhythm One time supershow Unwrap the clouds and hang them to dry Swim in the sunrise, swim in the sky All we can measure, all that we know This is the moment, all right now Got to get back to the rhythm Got to untie all the ribbons Got to shine light through your prism It’s a alright day night One time, one time supershow

Opening Line 04:52
lyrics

How’s this for an opening line: I’m out of time and frankly so are all of us The clowns and the emperors with treasure chests Parading in their birthday suits Tumbling from the peak from the top of the mountain Just an avalanche of rolling dice A lemming with a crown falling down You wouldn’t think you’d do the same thing too Curtains open wide open eyed And signing up for over time The sand in the glass Rushes past and rises up above your Sunday shoes How’s it get so late please state just for my records How the time escapes from all of us My stock rising higher When my confidence was ebbing at an all-time low Clouds wide and vast grinding past the axis of this world It spins too fast for me The trees filled with stars While the apples float like leaves until they’re blown away Thrown away like coins to the bottom of the wishing well From clowns like I But clowns have the luxury of laughing While they’re falling from an empty sky

Run and Hide Away 05:09

Sometimes I’m blown away by the slightest breeze I really mean it dig deep Dig deep! That’s right and keep c’mon keep a cool head maybe They say jump how high, how high are you jumping today These days are Ok but I say just in case Keep your head down making no waves They say this jump is what, what you need is needs c’mon and feed your head well I don’t believe what’s up their sleeve I believe it’s a lie I’m talking slump I’m up I’m down and I’m upside down I’m blown away by the slightest breeze Pushed and squeezed and now I’m pushed back into the corner You leave me no choices So I’m gonna run and hide away Yes I’m gonna run and hide away Now I’m gonna run and hide away I’m gonna run And so, I try and blow with the strongest breeze, I really mean to but then I spin, I spend, I keep, I keep losing touch now maybe They say don’t jump, my luck, how high am I jumping today These days are OK but I say just in case Keep your head down making no Day break is all it takes, celebrate the day, c’mon and celebrate the day now And how you do is you in a Petri dish now I’m fully stuffed, I’m up the creek and I wash it down I’m creeping up to the zero sum, stick my thumb and now I’m I’m pushed back into the corner You leave me no choices So I’m gonna run and hide away Yes I’m gonna run and hide away Now I’m gonna run and hide away I’m gonna run I’m pushed back into the corner You leave me no choices I’m pushed back into the corner You leave me no options So I’m gonna run and hide away Yes I’m gonna run and hide away

Roll your eyes now All things are not meant for everybody Close your mind now Knock, knock no one’s home forget about me I feel the weight now I can feel the world as it moves I’ll drop this burden, disco donkey burden on you These velvet shadows I could shine a light on you Cause no one hides from light that shines so bright, so bright I left this garden, memories of this garden in bloom Look to the skies and butterflies inspire the view Can’t you feel my sunshine, I could shine a light on you Roll your eyes now All things are not meant for everybody Close your mind now Knock, knock no one’s home forget about me I feel the weight now I can feel the world as it moves I’ll drop this burden, disco donkey burden on you These velvet shadows I could shine a light on you Cause no one hides from light that shines so bright, so bright I left this garden, memories of this garden in bloom Look to the skies and butterflies inspire the view Can’t you feel my sunshine, I could shine a light on you Roll your eyes now All things are not meant for everybody Close your mind now Knock, knock no one’s home forget about me Now can’t you feel my sunshine I could shine a light on you

Head's a Window 06:55
lyrics
buy track
My heads a window open wide step inside I’ve been writing with a Lower case The sole intention of a life left behind When the syllables have fallen in place My heads a window open wide A rocket shot into the sky The stars are singing lullabies but I’ll race the fireworks Until one of us wins What’d you think I’m pulling rabbits from a hat? What I’m missing is a disappearing act Your days are canvas, they’re a white empty spaced Invitation for the brush to paint So if instead you run and hide, paralyzed Then donate them to the ones who will paint A shoulder’s not a place to cry A shoulder’s not a place to climb A shoulder is an extra lane for stopping on the freeway In an emergency What’d you think I’m pulling rabbits from a hat? What I’m missing is a disappearing act My heart is foolish and it breaks all the time Little pieces slipping through the cracks There’s strength in numbers but I’m one, and I’m done Steal the wick and all you’re left with is wax What’d you think I’m pulling rabbits from a hat? What I’m missing is a disappearing act

People 06:00

People, born from the same People, circumstances change Circumstance change Mother, shields from the pain Father, carries the chain Different but the same What you dream Is who you are And what you’ll ever be Steps you take Is the change That you’ll ever make Take time, Look up and around It’s you, stand your own ground Float into your mind What you dream Is who you are And what you’ll ever be Steps you take Is the change That you’ll ever make
