Overstimulation
03:02

|

Hey
Can you lend us your attention
For more than just ten seconds
While you flip through the virtual jungle
That goes on and on and on, oh
Wow
There’s a lack of concentration
Cannot hold a conversation
Due to overstimulation
Can I feel the palpitations
Maybe we should slow down
And throw it down
La di da da da da
La da woo
Why can’t everybody see the truth
Digital sugar
It’s a craving for fake news and drama
Ah, dopamine lover
We're all trapped in a lack of one another
Let me see you put your worries down, now
I wanna see you throw your hands up and around
The tech can’t rule me, it’s only just a tool to me
The veil can’t fool me
Hey
What you want me to tell you
That device is just distraction of more products to sell you
It’s a non-stop cycle that goes
On and on and on, oh
Wow
They’re pumping us with algorithms
Logging us on all their systems
While distracting all the nations
And removing motivations, adding more procrastinations
Breath
And just be
La di da da da da
La da woo
Why can’t everybody see the truth
Digital sugar
It’s a craving for fake news and drama
Ah, dopamine lover
Were all trapped in a lack of one another
Digital sugar
It’s a craving for fake news and drama
Ah, dopamine lover
Were all trapped in a lack of one another
Thoughts and worries just keep running around in circles
Settle down or you’ll sink in your mental troubles, shh
Let me see you put your worries down, now
I wanna see you throw your hands up and around
La di da da da da
La da woo
Why can’t everybody see the truth
Digital sugar
It’s a craving for fake news and drama
Ah, dopamine lover
Were all trapped in a lack of one another
Digital sugar
It’s a craving for fake news and drama
Ah, dopamine lover
We’re all trapped in a lack of one a…
(Oh my god)
Digital sugar

Transcendence
03:02
|
|
||
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
There's no escaping from the mind
At times it can be such a grind
I know
I always ask myself why
When I hold my head up high
And have ambition to the sky
Does it take a nosedive?
Never did I sense dark undertones
Everybody hides in a telephone
Find a safe place in the headphones
Oh no no no, please no
Gimmie just a little self-confidence
To not run away from all the problems
Because this way of living is nonsense
Don't take offence
In my defence, I wanna
Wake up
And get lost in the moment
Explore transcendence
This life can be abundant
Short term pleasure falls
So rise up to the challenge
Universe assists me
Lady luck please kiss me
(Can you move with me)
Rah
Ooo-oo
Ooo-oo
Fear will play us all
We don't like to admit it
Learn to break the wall
Surpass the limits
It doesn't rain, it snows
The winter is imminent
Universe assist me
Lady luck might kiss me
Yo, I wanna trigger shivers
Make the hairs stand up on end
Whoa, we're in a soulful blizzard
Ice cold is a killer trend
Can you move
To keep warm and survive
We are marooned
On a melody paradise
Wake up
And get lost in the moment
Explore transcendence
Be perfectly imperfect
Balance saves us all
Be aware of the present
Universe assist me
Take a deep breath with me
Take a deep breath with me
Yo, I wanna trigger shivers
Make the hairs stand up on end
Whoa, we're in a soulful blizzard
Ice cold is a killer trend
Can you move
To keep warm and survive
(Ooo-oo)
We are marooned
On a melody paradise
We are marooned
On a melody paradise
Universe assist me
Lady luck please kiss me

Midnight
03:22
|
|
||
It’s hitting midnight
I’m losing my sight
I feel these walls are closing in
My head is spinning
I feel that my internal weather’s
Spiralling out of control
An emotional cyclone hits home breaking
Everything that I own
Every moment is effort or deceiving
Chills me right to my bones
Do we all get this, is it a quarter life crisis
Can this feeling please leave me
Alone
Am I on my own
I know
There’s a panic attack waiting further along the road
Is it even so
I don't wanna know
I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on hold
Doo do-do do do do do do do
Doo do-doo do do-doo
Do-do-do-do doo do do do do do-do
Doo do-doo do do-doo
These situations
Are affirmations that my
External crisis won’t prevail
From hell we will set sail
Like I really feel that a curse has hit me
Bringing my soul so low
Even if it’s tough luck, growing up, bad karma
I won’t let it stop the show
I am taking little steps to lighten
Up my broken soul
To eliminate all this reckless thinking
Can this feeling please leave me
Alone
Am I on my own
I know
There’s a panic attack blocking my path on the road
Is it even so
I don’t wanna know
I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on…
Hold on
I need to breath
Please can I come around
Float my way back on top
Flip my world upside down
I now can see
That I never ever lived in the now
Keep the future a mystery
Instead of letting cause anxiety, oh
I can’t believe
That I never ever lived in the now
Keep the future a mystery
Instead of letting it give me anxiety
This feeling won’t leave me out all alone
I’m not on my own
I know
There’s a panic attack I left back down the road
Is it even so
I don't wanna know
I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on hold
Is it even so
I don’t wanna know
I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack
I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack
I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on hold

Freak
03:00
|
|
||
I’m caught up in a bind
I’m hiding something
Embedded deep in the mind
Thought it’s probably nothing
I feel society
Constantly watching me
Is this big brother
I’m feeling the pressure lately
Feelings I can’t ignore
Let it out before
I scream it out
Let’s hit the floor and shout
Hell yeah
I am just a freak
I wouldn’t do it any other way
'Cause that’s not like me
Ha-ha-haa
Hell yeah
Oh what a release
It feels so good to let it out
Just let me be me
Don’t let the world decide
Your social behaviour
So no more holding back, don’t hide
Ya freak of nature
I feel society
Constantly judging me
There’s no disgrace
It’s time to embrace the fact that
Judgement will hurt them more
Let it all out before
You live in regret
We’ll never forget that we are
All freaks
We’re so tongue in cheek
We wouldn’t do it any other way
So please join the clique
Ha-ha-ha
Hell yeah
Oh what a release
It feels so good to let it out
It’s good to feel free
Hell yeah
I am just a freak
I wouldn’t do it any other way
'Cause that’s not like me
Ha-ha-haa
Hell yeah
Oh what a release
It feels so good to let it out
Just let me be me
We’ll never forget that we are
We’ll never forget that we are
All freaks
We’re so tongue in cheek
We wouldn’t do it any other way
So please join the clique
Ha-ha-ha
Hell yeah
Oh what a release
It feels so good to let it out
It’s good to feel free
Awoo
Oh I’m such a freak
Awoo
Oh I’m such a freak
Don’t let the world decide (Awoo)
Awoo
Ha-ha-haa
So no more holding back (Awoo)
Don't hide

Devil's Dance
04:06
|
|

Cool wind
Breathing through summer
I look in the club
People dancing with each other
I wish I knew how to move like that
I wish I could be the coolest cat
On the floor
This figure came out of nowhere
This mystery man
He just held his stare at me
He said, "Listen here
I see your problem
I’ll help you to dance
Face it
You’ve got no rhythm
I’ll give a lesson you’ll never forget for free
All you have to do is sign right here for me"
He pricked my finger and it started to bleed
I signed away in blood I didn't even read
He closed his eyes, raised his hands
And put a spell on me
I was shrouded in so much smoke
That I could not breathe
But then I felt so loose, so relaxed
In a way I’d never been
I could suddenly dance like a demon
It made me grin
I felt so good
I felt alright
I felt so cool
It felt so nice
I strolled inside
And started busting shapes
Everyone was amazed
All eyes were fixed on me
They couldn’t believe what they’d seen
I thanked the man
And asked for his name
He said, "Are you insane?"
He said, "I am the devil
And you just signed your soul away!"
Oh oh
What have I done
All this just for some attention
Please demon
How do I undo this problem
He said, "I challenge you to a dance off here tonight
Because I want to bet I’ll win your soul in this fight"
I am feeling something going on downtown tonight
Because I am feeling something going wrong
(What’s this feeling in my head)
I am feeling something going on downtown tonight
Because I am dancing off with a devil in my mind
Was this all in my head all along
Was I in fact dancing on my own
Anyway
I felt so good
I felt alright
I felt so cool
It felt so nice
So good
Alright
So cool
So nice

Disconnect
03:03

|

I don’t know what to say to you
I nod my head and go
Mmm, uh huh, yeah
I don’t know how to respond
I didn't take it in so
Mmm, uh huh, yeah
I can’t take in anything
I’m too distracted by a screen
You don’t know how hard it is for me
Mmm, uh huh, yeah
I’m saying
Mmm, uh huh, yeah
Am I even listening
Is it even sinking in
I guess not, I’ve lost the plot
I’m too busy scrolling
I am so occupied with
Living in technology
Am I even human
I guess not apparently
Algorithms choosing what I do and don’t believe
Program my reality with hits of dopamine
Study my biology to hack it with technology
Did I give you too much power
Have I sold out my humanity
They wanted me addicted
Isolated and constricted
Made me think it’s self-inflicted
Disconnect to reconnect
I now know what to say to you
Let’s live a life of being here
And now and free
There’s a whole world to explore
That before I ignored, let’s go
Here and now and free
I won’t forget reality
Or live inside a dream
Won’t let them profit from anxiety
Here and now and free
I’m saying here
And now and free
I won’t hide
In a distortion of my life
Look inside
The truth doesn't have to lie
I decide on how to feel alive
My spirit will survive
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

Astral Escape
02:54
|
|
||
A fire paints
Amber glow in the night
A circle of faces
Caressed with warm light
The gentle air
Sings with soothing whispers
We watch the flames
Play with dancing embers
I lay back, close my eyes
Set destination to the skies
Roll out of body and out of mind
You've gotta come with me
It's an adventure of a lifetime
The spirit is breathing
And it liberates me
I'm having a feeling
That's more real than reality
Thoughts fade
Through the night
I chase the fireflies
Calling me into the galaxy
Am I the dreamer
Who's aware of the dream
Serenity moving through me smoothly
Like a soft stream
I never knew
What to make of this reality
There's so much more to this
Than what we perceive
Lay back, close your eyes
Time to arise and feel alive
Roll out of body and out of mind
You've gotta believe me
It's an adventure of a lifetime
The spirit is breathing
And it liberates me
I'm having a feeling
That's more real than reality
Thoughts fade
Through the night
I chase the fireflies
Calling me into the galaxy
Time to fly (fly!)
The spirit is breathing
And it liberates me
I'm having a feeling
That's more real than reality
Thoughts fade
Through the night
I chase the fireflies
Calling me into the galaxy
The feeling is coming
It's time to stop running
And let it take over
These emotions are rare
So please don't be scared
Take on anything
Thoughts fade
Through the night
I chase the fireflies
Calling me into the galaxy
Calling me into the galaxy
Calling me into the galaxy

Polychrome
02:47
|
|

I keep on moving
Though I’m losing the will to be
Mindful by choosing
Not to be my worst enemy
Why do I work my life away
It’s a never ending means to an end
What a shame
(Just keep on going)
Whenever I’m low
Motivation eludes me
I feel I’m chasing rainbows
The colours fade to grey
Days are skipping
And the money is dwindling
I find no time to climb
From this mood I’m battling
But when I see you my head plays on repeat
A broken record saying I won’t retreat
Give me the courage to get on my feet, ahh
Tell me do you want me
Do you like me
You delight me honey
Living dreams
Black and white no more a theme
You bring colour to my being
I’m aching to know
Tell me do you want me
Do you like me
You ignite me honey
I now see in polychrome
Why do you have to go
I felt so lost
I thought I was going crazy
You give me life
You give me meaning and energy
I couldn’t make the jump
I thought the fear would break me
But the fall made me
I found my mojo baby
Living dreams
Black and white no more a theme
You bring colour to my being
I’m aching to know
Tell me do you want me
Do you like me
You ignite me honey
I now see in polychrome
Living dreams
Black and white no more a theme
You bring colour to my being
I’m aching to know
Tell me do you want me
Do you like me
You ignite me honey
I now see in polychrome
(Tell me do you want me
Do you like me
You ignite me honey)
Nyaa, whoa
Right now I feel at home
(Tell me do you want me
Do you like me
You ignite me honey)
Nyaa, whoa
I now see in polychrome
I now see in polychrome

The Game
03:16

|

Can't let go
All I know
Is that peppy song that goes like
Bedroom boogaloo
At 2:32
My busy mind’s running circles
I need something to do
Throw my lights around the room
Play that catchy tune
I should be trying to sleep now
Many deadlines are due
I wanna go outside
It’s getting harder
Having no adventure
I think I’ve lost my mind
(Where’d it go)
I’m gonna find it
It’s hiding somewhere out there
And go
Dropkick the front door
Oh boy here I go
I’m marching down the footpath
Into the unknown
Stomp stomping around
Grinning mightily insane
There’s no way you can stop me
'Cause I’m too far in the game
Let’s play
I want to jump and run around
Until I calm my reckless mind down
Hey, welcome to my mad parade (Ohhhh)
I wanna stay outside
(Hoo-hoo-hoo)
It’s so much better
Having this adventure
I think I’ve lost my
Crazy little mind yeah
I’ve got to find it
It’s hiding somewhere
So let’s get it
I wish I could relax
And put my thoughts on mute
I’m too much of a night owl
Cause I’m such a hoot
(Hoo-hoo-hoo)
When’s it time to be an adult
Living seriously
Is it time to be mature
Life a cheddar cheese
(Umm)
I wanna stay outside
(Hoo-hoo-hoo)
It’s so much better
Having this adventure
I think I’ve lost my
Crazy little mind yeah
I’ve got to find it
It’s hiding somewhere
I’m running away from the real world
I’m too far far in the game
Let’s play
I want to jump and run around
Until I calm my reckless mind down
Hey, welcome to my mad parade
I wanna stay outside
(Hoo-hoo-hoo)
It’s so much better
Having this adventure
I think I’ve lost my
Crazy little, crazy little, crazy little mind yeah
I’ve got to find it
It’s hiding somewhere out there
I’m running away from the real world
(Hoo-hoo-hoo)
I’m running away from the real world yeah

Cosmic Butterfly
03:33

Space in perfect silence
All seems far too quiet out here
Through the cosmic mist
There emerges a ship
And she goes by the name of
'Cosmic Butterfly'
She will sail the seven skies
A crew with dedication
Plundering space stations
And hacking systems of satellites
Look out
All aboard the Butterfly
Find your freedom in the skies
We’ll take the heavens by surprise
Space pirates for life
Sail the graveyard orbit
They could come for us at any moment
They won’t let us be free
Think they own you and me
We’ve gotta steal back our liberty
We’ll fly high in history
Hijack satellites that broadcast TV
Send a message to the planet
For the one percent to pay
Or we’ll break the world’s technology
Look out
All aboard the Butterfly
Find your freedom in the skies
We’ll take the heavens by surprise
Space pirates for life
All aboard the Butterfly
Find your freedom in the skies
We’ll take the heavens by surprise
Space pirates for life
~We’ve just received a message
That Earth are sending all their forces our way
To your stations!~
Brace yourselves
They’re coming to get us
We’ll take them on
It’s now or never
We won’t go down without a fight
Farewell
Our sinking ship has opened eyes
Shout together people rise
Don’t fall silent in the night
(Brace yourselves)
(Brace yourselves)
All aboard the Butterfly
(There coming to get us)
We found our freedom in the skies
(We’ll take them on)
We took the heavens by surprise
(It’s now or never)
Space pirates for life

The Joker
03:00
|
|

I’m stuck inside and I’m bottled up
I need to uncork all the buildup
It’s somewhat of an issue
Don't cry for me, no need for tissues
I don't seem to care anymore
I feel like flying off the handle maybe
Put my glass down and head downtown
I’m feeling like a joker gonna mess around
So look out
Yeah, you can’t stop me craving
Uhh, I’m so good at misbehaving
Make the heartbeats bounce then maybe
Take your hand, spin you round
We’ll make it jazzy, baby
Woohoo, I think I’m going crazy
So smooth, you can’t crease me
I won’t be mean, just letting off steam
Before my head explodes
Hahaa
I’m causing trouble everywhere I go
Life is like a stage gotta put on a show
Like a rebel without a cause
I don’t need a approval
No need for applause
People get too easily bored
So let me entertain you baby
Find fun in the here and now
I’m feeling like a joker
Gonna play around
So look out
Yeah, you can’t stop me craving
Uhh, I’m so good at misbehaving
Make the heartbeats bounce then maybe
Take your hand, spin you round
We’ll make it jazzy, baby
Woohoo, I think I’m going crazy
So smooth, you can’t crease me
I won’t be mean, just letting off steam
Before my head explodes
Before my head explodes
(Ahh)
(Ahh)
Uhh
Do you feel like gravitating
To the grove so smooth
Ahh
It’s invigorating
Ohhh
Uhh, give me some love
Uhh, I’m so good at misbehaving
Make the heartbeats bounce then maybe
Take your hand, spin you round
We’ll make it jazzy, baby
Woohoo, I think I’m going crazy
So smooth, you can’t crease me
I won’t be mean, just letting off steam
Before my head explodes
(Ahh)
Before my head explodes

Ohhh, uhh

One Last Time
04:20
|
|

Go!
I stepped into the sun
Can't stay here for long
No words for pictures
Of love and stone
We can't leave life behind
Across an ocean wide
My wish for you and I
Can be no more
One last time
Take my hand
As we stare into
The setting sun
One last time
We'll run away
Our road's alight
For one more day
(Huh, huh)
Neon light, over my head
Street life singing in blue
Harmony in your eyes
Give me one more look
We hold onto the moment
Hoping for a better day
Among the amber light
You slip away
One last time
Take my hand
As we stare into
The setting sun
One last time
We'll run away
Our road's alight
For one more day
Ooo-oh yeah
A-na-na-naa
Ooo, ooo
One last time
(One last time)
(Take my hand)
Take my hand
(Stare in)
(The setting sun)
As we stare into
(One last time)
(We'll run away)
The setting sun
(Road's a-)
One last time
Take my hand
As we stare into
The setting sun
One last time
We'll run away
Our road's alight
For one more day
One last time
(One last time)
(Take my hand)
Take my hand
(Stare in)
(The setting sun)
As we stare into
(One last time)
(We'll run away)
The setting sun
(Road's alight for one more)
One last time
(One last time)
(Take my hand)
We'll run away
(Stare in)
(The setting sun)
Our road's alight
(One last time)
(We'll run away)
For one more day
(Road's alight for one more day)
