You touch down on my land
Get your feet on the ground
Push that flag into the sand
There's no vacancy here
In my house In my darker days I'd let you in
But my mornings aren't as dim
Time is running out
Here to take what you found
Your selfish misstep
My ozone slowly turns
And if you stay too long you'll get burned
Step inside of Mr. Orbit
It starts to circle when you force it
And all my free time is undeserved and untrue
Still I'm in service to you
Empty canteen at your side
But the lake bed is dry
In my darker days I'd let you in
But my rooms are filled with sin
Step inside of Mr. Orbit
It starts to circle when you force it
And all my free time is undeserved and untrue
Still I'm in service to you
Mr. Orbit

Get Ready
03:56

Take the time shake the dirt from your eyes
And you’ll find that your limit’s the sky
All the things you might think you want you can get um
If they give you a shot and you’re ready
And the world has no plans for you
Time can change on a whim
Better look past what you choose
Get ready and learn to swim
Ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Lose sense of your space and time
And you’re driftin’ with no direction to climb
And you’re ready
There’s no end marked by light
It’ll shine through at different parts of your life
And the world has no plans for you
Time can change on a whim
Better look past what you choose
Get ready and learn to swim
Get ready and learn to swim
Get ready and learn to swim
The excuse of youth is running on fumes and aerosol
All our lives are based on things we can’t conceptualize
The truth is maybe I just misunderstood
The breeze it brings the answers into me like scattered leaves
Are you ready
I’m never ready
Ahhhhhhhh

The Debt
02:32
|

I know a place down the way
with honey mead and pretty dancers
and on a silver platter
all your needs can be answered
no need to shy away
what goes on down the hall
makes me want to surrender
my insecure days
and there’s something I just don’t know about the place
but I need one more taste
they say my money’s no good to them,
but I fear my soul is the debt
there on the edge of town
that girl lays me down
I’ts in the way they say I’ll be gone
tried to, but never had to pay
there’s something I just don’t know about the girl
and I’ve been here way to long
they say my money’s no good to them
but I feel my soul’s in debt

That Man

Today I’ll try to make the change
(don’t think you’re ever gonna learn
you’ll always be the same)
I’m so..
alone, alone
there’s things that I should rearrange
(you’ll never clean the mess you made
you’re lazy and afraid)
I’m so
alone, alone
I start to think unmentioned things
bring a fresh bottle of pity to drink
I don’t know
how I came to trust the man
it’s got me wondering
is it worth following
I tried to shake him,
but I’ll never break him
all my life I live in shame
I took it easy
I always
let him defeat me
old enemy
(you’ll always be the same)
Am I
Alone, Alone?
you can climb out your hole
you just gonna fall back down again.
I start to think unmentioned things
drink a fresh bottle of pity with me
I don’t know
how I came to trust the man
it’s got me wondering
is it worth following
I tried to shake him,
but I’ll never break him
he don’t want to die today
I must understand how to kill that man
tells me that it’s too late
that I missed my chance for something great
then the doubt sets in
I start over again
Stay where you’ve been
you can’t best that man
get used to the bed you made
you missed your chance
say what you will , that man
he comes back again
he comes back again

Into The Void
05:39
|
|||
The planet Earth’s final days
mistakes were made with dark matter we played
and the outcome can’t be changed
won’t be changed
so long
millennia
the god of fire returns us to star dust
interstellar children seek
the warmth of another sun
looking back on their mother
crumbling into the void
and this won’t be the last time our home will be destroyed
what will be the chance of new hope for human kind
there will be an answer
there will be an answer
Generations seek oasis to find
Home
home
so long
millennia
it’s no longer safe
in the universe embrace
holes ripped by time
in the curvature of space
floating on the ashes we drift into the void
and this could be the last time our home will be destroyed
what will be the chance of new hope for all of life
there will be an answer
there will be an answer
