Anyway and anyhow
Earth keeps turning while
Our world is not enough
To satisfy
Our hunger for love
For pleasure within us
We collect so many things
That don’t do anything
Anyway and anywhere
We drop our waste
Little synthetic bits of earth
We mold and destroy
Have you forgotten how it feels
To be small and scared
We put the power in our things
Instead of our hearts
We bathe in colours we see and take measures we know regardless of the cost
Cuz we want to live purposeful lives, make something of ourselves in the end
We are but stardust in space, in the cosmos of it all
And anything and everything doesn’t matter at all

Electric World
03:57
|

We are always connected,
Satellites keep sending our dreams
Into space
For all the world to see and hear
And listen, judge, interpret, fear
We interpolate, elevate, calculate, cache is cleared
The engine gods modify thoughts, give us results we never asked
Our world has changed, it is no game when we hear
strangers attack, we’re already hacked, there is no turning back
Electric world on my circuit board
Electric world in my silicon heart
Static has built up
Satellites keep sending, Code Red
Through our skies
The metal army is discharged
The bombs are loaded, engine starts
How could they do this to us
How could they laugh all the while
The remote controlled sunrise burns my eyes
Electric world on my circuit board
Electric world in my silicon heart

Can’t keep up
Beat of the drum
You wind me up
Turning my gears like clockwork
Now step aside
Bury your pride
They take their strides
Hands just in time
We need to take some steps right now
They’re marching right outside our door
I don’t know what we’re waiting for
Tell me what we’re waiting for
We all can see
That time is running out before our eyes
In a heartbeat
Our world will be in shambles oohh
And yet the belief
It will simply all just fix itself,
That’s what they tell you
Listen to their story
We can see
Time is running out before our eyes
In a heartbeat
Our world will be in shambles oohh
And yet the belief
It will simply all just fix itself,
That’s what they tell you
Don’t believe their story

Farewell
05:08
|
|||
I regret it so, but I’m sure we all know
we’ve reached a forking road and for me it is time to go
I can’t tell you when we could have seen this coming
but every now and then I’ll be thinking of you
I drive by, and feelings pierce
my chest, you see, I must confess
the memories are made to last
tomorrow this will all be the past
and yet
I have packed my things, our faces are collected
emotions are checked in, I hand over my keys
I think of the good times, tears welling in my eyes
but after everything my heart is way too scarred to
stay in love with the idea of us
I have packed my things, our feelings are collected
emotions are checked in, I hand over my keys
I think of the good times, tears welling in my eyes
but after everything my heart is way too scarred

Long Lost Dream Symphony
04:48
|

Once when I am much older
And possibly a little bit taller
Then I am sure I’ll reach for the stars and catch
one two three or
Millions of stars await me and
I will harvest them recklessly
Someday I’ll own all the colours of the universe
Once when I am much older
And possibly a little bit wiser
I will have seen all those things and know for once and all that humans are
Tiny and not important at all
Comets might crush us because we’re so small
And we try to run from our destiny of vanishing from universe history
Flying to Jupiter’s moons and beyond
Well, something of us might still live on
Humans are brilliant and beautiful things,
so I’ll watch and wait and see

Shaders
04:59
|

With each touch you cast a shadow on my skin
Make me three-dimensional
All my senses are programmed to savour you
Our moments between the light
It is thanks to you I’m feeling visible
Like more than a polygon
It is others’ eyes that fill out all the blanks
So let me fill yours in
Polygonal dreams, they come over me
Round the edge and see our reality
Get out of the box when the shadow knocks
life all into you, shaded through and through
(Polygonal dreams, they come over unto me)
One step ahead of me you will always be
Like a shadow in the future
I can’t help you being there
But I don’t want to wish you away
I don’t know how we will continue this thing
Where I need you all too much, but still
I don’t want to miss your touch and miss your shading
Because I feel like it makes me whole
Polygonal dreams, they come over me
Round the edge and see our reality
Get out of the box when the shadow knocks
life all into you, shaded through and through
(Polygonal dreams, they come over unto me)

Nightflyer
04:55
|

I’m flying high flying at night (nightflyer nightflyer)
Tonight I’m finally wide awake
No borders hold me back
There’s no convention telling me I cannot be myself
There was no step along the way I wasn’t scared at all
But now I know tonight’s the night when I’m not gonna fall
I’m flying high flying at night (nightflyer nightflyer)
There was no step along the way I wasn’t scared at all
But now I know tonight’s the night when I’m not gonna fall
(scatting)
Different’s good, different’s okay, for tonight I’m doing things my way
Let the people stop and stare, even the occasional glare, tonight I don’t care
There was no step along the way I didn’t doubt myself or wasn’t scared at all
I felt alone for much too long, no one to confide in, to cry in their arms
But this changes tonight, tonight I fly high, and even if at midnight
the magic stops, the glass slipper drops – this is my time. Now. Right now.

Foreigner
03:42
|

Layers of me lying on the floor
Strange sensations all I feel
My usual self is out the door
What stays just feels unreal
Foreigner in my own body
Unfamiliar with my own mind
My calm a distant memory
My safe haven nowhere to find
Why am I acting this or that way
My feet just led me to your door
But nothing’s left that we might say
Who’s the stranger in the mirror
I don’t want to loathe myself
But what’s to like at this point
My words inflicting so much pain
My heart a welted emptiness
Foreigner in my own body
Unfamiliar with my own mind
My calm a distant memory
My safe haven nowhere to find
I know I couldn’t make you stay
With inner demons roaming free
But nothing’s left that we might say except
Hello darkness, goodbye old me

Hyperdrive
03:57
|

I went home with you, it all seemed innocent
You’re a father of three, there’s age difference
In the afternoon, you made us some tea
And the rest remains in my memory
Glimpses did remain, my whole body froze
when you put your hand where it didn’t belong
No apology went into this song
But surely you must know what you did was wrong
When did gears shift between our faces, I
recall nonverbal interactions so different
The situation’s not the same, I am not playing this game,
you took control so I’m dropping out while I can
Speed is set to hyperdrive, I am losing my mind
you aren’t halting because you are not my friend
My heart is fluttering in my chest, I don’t know
what to feel, how to deal, please help me
I went home with you, it all seemed innocent
You’re a father of three, there’s age difference
In the afternoon, you made us some tea
And the rest was wiped from my memory

Dancing Inside
04:55
|
|||
Life has its way of handing out lemons by the pound
But oftentimes when I’m feeling down
I tell myself
„Sound and music’s everywhere
You just have to listen, it is there
Concentrate on the beat“
I’m not here
I’m elsewhere
Even on the saddest day, don’t stop
I know that you can do it, just get up,
Listen to the drum of your heart
The beat will drive you forward any day
No matter what just happened, you’re okay, go your way
and keep dancing inside, hey
The groove inside your bones wants out
Inside your head you’ve started singing out loud, a party in your head
No matter what, no one can take this away
Your inner dancefloor and your inner sway, keep it that way
and keep dancing inside
I know that this is very difficult
I know that you have bourne so much
And sometimes you just don’t know how
But you sing and when this inner requiem
has finally come to an end
you’ll still be dancing inside”
Life has its way of handing out lemons by the pound
But oftentimes when I’m feeling down
I tell myself
„Your inner dancer is going strong
The dancefloor awaits, you know where you belong
Dance to the rhythm of life“

[verse]
At four in the morning quite inexplicably
A miracle happened just for you and me
In an unattended moment for no one to see
I stole a kiss
Running down the alley you were chasing me
Begging for explanation of the causality
A confession of my feelings or just a forgery?
Am I in love?
[bridge]
And I hold my breath to shake off the fear
Insecurities of not being good enough
And I hold my tongue till the moment comes
Where I open up and tell you everything
[verse]
When I tried to hug you, you pushed me away
But never hard enough to make me stay in place
A conflicting message for me to decode
What do you want?
Is it really me you want after all?
Or just a little push for your self to stand tall
Regardless of the hardship that might have made it fall
Are you happy now?
[chorus]
Love is difficult unexpected mystical
Love makes hearts pound pink vision butterflies
Names etched into subconscious body parts
Rockets flying into space through the clouds
[bridge]
And I hold my breath to shake off the fear
Insecurities of not being good enough
And I hold my tongue till the moment comes
Where I open up and tell you everything
[verse]
At four in the morning I woke up in tears
A miracle happened, but just in my dream
You were closer than ever, it just felt way too real
No
[chorus]
Love is difficult unexpected mystical
Love makes hearts pound pink vision butterflies
Names etched into subconscious body parts
Rockets flying into space through the clouds
