That Exact Moment

You want a lot, you want a bit, there is no middle
What are you waiting for?
Haven’t been silenced
Cancel yesterday
Not a thing you can’t dispute
Start making your way
Exit now, lift the ground, make it count
This is it, take a dive
Won’t live each day like a ghost in my room
Time for the switch
Back up from down
The stars align
Which side are you on?
Got what you want, don’t let it slip, even a little
Will guard it even more
Hour’s the finest
It’s the price to pay
Always something more to lose
Much left to restore

The Big Star

Identified, the remedy's plain in sight
A visit back to the core, all is sound
May be the time for a start
I just can't hide here anymore
I gotta know, I gotta reach far
It's clouded my view, where to go?
Is someone out there?
I'm in the wrong place
Hold on tight, my enemies reunite
Feels like I've been here before, unannounced
Triggered more than a spark
The quest goes on forevermore
I gotta know, I gotta reach far

Now we gotta go
Full speed ahead, great defector
Set for the true unknown
Where is our way in?
You can’t hold me back
I cannot be restrained
This one just skipped town
I’m never coming back here
So long now
Engine blast shines, lift and engage
Living it loud
There is no stopping, there are no setbacks
Check1, Check2, Check all controls
All clear, sit tight
Spectacular
Can kiss this world goodbye
Far from moving slow
Been yearning for this forever
Not one thing monotone
Where do we begin?
Won’t be keeping track
All our senses sustained
We’ll get there somehow
I’m never coming back here
It’s time now

Stay Idle

Hold steady, not ready
Got the best of me, nothing is denied
Distraught, I felt the clout
It held me with might without a doubt
How did I manage to get here so fast?
Can’t think of where my mind went
Now leave it all behind, let it go
Improvise, let it show
You’re up, keep up
It simply isn’t just magic
Hold steady, not ready
But I’ve got the will that won’t ever die
Go forth the right amount
For you to decide what it’s all about
The carving of these changes, unsurpassed
No matter what the intent

Watch it all shatter, endlessly scatter
Such disbelief
Way down the ladder, so it won't matter
Can't get away clean
Changes and aspirations don't earn my graces
Four corners looming in slow
Another place, another time
Phasing out consistent doom
One more round
Impact, instant fury, jump right in
Storming without mercy, unworldly
Never underplayed
Lived through yet another day
Store the key and walk away
There has to be something
Has to be more
May be unsettling, I know
Choose confidently, providently
You stand there stupefied
The threat is still alive
Could be an onset, slight disarray
It's all the same dream

Hatch comes down, now plain in sight
My body’s still, the path is clear
Move closer
You’ve been here before
What is your move, your play?
Embrace the invite
There’s no debate, it will unfold
Now we connect inside the ring
Overtake this quiet night
The bright lights
Like a monument towering over me
The bright lights
Together forever, permanent stay
Burst through clouds, reach soaring heights
No looking back, we choose no fear
Fondest stare
Everything unborn, sonic space decay
Finally we unite
Links to back home, they will erode
We’re closing in and gathering
Shattering sounds, it’s on the rise
Fire bursting, touchdown without delay
Touching a new start, an overhaul
We’re no longer sightless
Replay
The way of things is now reformed
No more shielded pride
With certainty, the perfect score

Passenger

There isn't much to figure out
There's nothing left in you
Hope aside, it's walked away
The incentive that I seek
Your motives stand tall, evading the part
Taste of the game soon, the time is now
A clever plan with no disguise
You'll do fine
What caliber, the slanderer
There's no doubt what it's leading to
Best believe, watch your every move
The passenger, discoverer
Vanish without a trace
Now you're mine
Not far behind, just walk about
Noble prize is coming through
May have been a pleasant stay
Close as you will ever be
The moment you fall, that's when it will start
All eyes are on you, the final blow
Obsession still hides in plain sight

Lesson Learned
03:44
|

|
Cry, it isn't just for show
It's all but pretty and I dread it so
The shine inside is crucified
Now that I'm closer to you
Try to keep spirits up, it goes nowhere
A magnificent foe
There's nothing else I can do
But there's a lesson learned
There's nothing else I can say
Rebuild over time
Destroyed a kind heart
It won't just go away
There's gotta be someway outta here
Paths aren’t simply intertwined
Don't need your pity, your bleeding soul
This fright a sin, intensified
The sense of me is removed
With one touch I’m right back in the spiral
Move right up the line
Someday you’ll face it no question
Somehow it seems so unreal
No way I’m not seeing this through
Just sit tight
