Deep Space 03:48
Calling any base This is Alpha Centauri What's it gonna cost To come and rescue me In case you haven't heard I've been lost in deep space And if you didn't know I'm the leader of the human race I'm floating out here For a hundred years or so While time goes on forever Forever is what they said to me Forever is your friend Forever will set you free But this black hole in my mind Has left me blind to see Just what a waste of time Forever turned out to be And now I'm floating out here For a hundred million years or so While time goes on Forever Forever is such waste of time And now I'm floating out here For a hundred million years or so While time goes on Forever Forever's what they said to me Forever never bends And Forever never bleeds But this black hole in my mind Has forced me to concede Just what a waste of time Forever turned out to be And now I'm floating out here For a hundred million years or so While time goes on Forever Forever

New Sunrise 03:40
It's a brand new sunrise And we've both got our own plans to make You have to let the past die But it's such a hard habit to break If you play your cards right Then you won't have a life filled with hate You better let the past die But it's such a hard habit to break It's gonna be alright Nobody lives tonight Nobody dies tonight And we all sleep tight As we await the light of a new sunrise If the mirror don't lie Then we all have an image to fake So let the sleeping dogs lie But it's such a hard habit to break It's gonna be alright Nobody lives tonight Nobody dies tonight And we all sleep tight As we await the light of a new sunrise It's a brand new sunrise And we've both got our own plans to make You better let the past die But it's such a hard habit to break

When the weight of the world is coming down And the weak are buried under ground We will run straight to the fight And we will rise up to new heights When the weight of the world is coming down Every building burning to the ground We will keep our eyes on the prize As we ascend up through the skies Weight of the world When the weight of the world is coming down And the weak are buried under ground We will run straight to the fight And we will rise up to new heights When the weight of the world is coming down Giant Beavers rise up from the ground We will keep our eyes on the prize As we ascend up through the skies Weight of the world Weight

Inside the halocline There's no concept of time There's nothing to fear Except why we are here We are forever floating While above the scientist consulting There's nothing to love Except the things we dream of And we dream all day Inside the halocline Everything is useless but this heart of mine Apathy is my favorite state of mind The forces that love you Are the same forces that also judge you They're caught up with time Because they haven't learned about our state of mind So they're left behind Inside the halocline Everything is useless but this heart of mine Apathy is my favorite state of mind Inside the halocline There's no concept of time There's nothing to fear

Rosemary 03:40
She says rosemary won't let her pray She lays in bed and turns her head away She exhausts the world in her own special way Will she find the time to let us in her day The race to grow up has suddenly dropped it's pace Slowed by memories that we cannot erase In search of a more creative space We discovered emptiness in it's place She can't resist the pull of the world Tired of holding on In the ties that bind there lies a subtle fray Before you speak your words please watch what you have to say What we once wanted to hear now sounds so cliche But everything that feels is subject to decay She can't resist the pull of the world Tired of holding on With so little to hold on to Her tired heart can't shine On just a flutter Ten thousand stories high We die She says rosemary won't let her pray She lays in bed and turns her head away Well she exhausts the world in her own special way She never found the time to let us in her day

Violent whispers Have such violent rings The company of strangers Waits in the wings While pulling the strings The suffering won't end it You need to bleed it out Conspire to hide it Deep in the crowd Where it's loud I can't wait any longer Send me on my way While they grow stronger Everyday Violent endings Feed our future doubts Multiplied by envy Amplify the sounds Of shivers in the clouds I can't wait any longer Send me on my way While they grow stronger Everyday

Gone Too Far 03:40
There's a star in every night And I think you've just found yours While just a flicker in it's light It survives unlike any force Now what will you say When your starlight burns away What will you say When your starlight burns away You'll say that it's no good You'll suggest we should just forget it And we'll say it doesn't mean shit Worthless coming from a critic

Mach 10 03:53
You're screaming at mach ten I can't understand a word And I'm driving through your bullshit Ninety miles an hour in the curve So are you gonna come with me Or are you happy still Because you're running in circles Like you've got so much time to kill I know how you love to kill If you're gonna come with me There's no time for dramatic scenes Spitting out your cliches Metaphors only hide the things you mean Well a simple change of heart Has me leaving you here I should have known right from the start It's all ringing in my ear It's all ringing in my ear
