Dirty Love

Right on time to see the show
It’s been a while, you’re in the front row
A crazy silent stare
Your hands shake, gets hard to breathe
And now you're wired and you're freakin out
Feel alive, if just a little
Look around, far from divine
Kid, end all this sittin around
Dirty dirty love
Veil it somehow, urge is louder than thunder
Fuel the fire in your heart, toss the dignity, restart
Dirty dirty love
Feed off the rush, the perfect friend
All senses on alert
Just conjure up your fantasy
Help is on the way
Desperately trying to wind yourself
Help is on the way
Devil’s in sight to mask the wound
Crash, you’re overcharged
You’re right on the money again
And your antics delude you
Gotta save it up, gotta give it up, get in
Now you’re wired and you’re freakin out
Go the mile, make it official
Final call, you’re out of time
Stand down, got your head in the clouds

So, it’s time, let’s head on out
We’re on our way
Speed it up, open the door
Simply cannot wait, in such a daze
Circle forms the shaking ground, move on our command
No question, caught up in the flow
This is all right, ode to the good ol days, ready to go
Oh what feeling, the perfect day
Care to follow?
Hall lights beaming, we’re in the groove
Can’t back away
Here is what it’s all about
Clear the runway
From the stands onto the floor, watch the show of hands
With every play
Yeah this is where it all began, clearly justified
Attention, we’re set to explore
Hold your goodbyes
There’s nothing here but praise, pass on what we know

That Exact Moment
04:19

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

When The Music Starts

You're doing fine, give it a go
Somehow gotta make it right
Not one thing here connects you
What's done is undone
3,2,1, countdown, get the facts
Yeah you better make the best of it
Wait on nothing, might as well grab it soon
Well you've gone this far
Don't look back, breathe a little
The desire's getting strong
Find what beats you up inside
Play it out cleverly when the music starts
Take a chance, don't break the flow
Never let it leave your sight
What you know will misdirect you
What's right is all wrong
Let it in, don't stop, interact
Hell, you better make the best of it
It’s a matter of time

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

What a place divine, exit the rear view
Here we go, no delay
Paradise is fiction, been there
Face the facts, live the now
May have lacked the vision, not knowing the danger
Common phases become us
All set, I'm ready to go
Can’t give an inch to drama
While I’m thinking things through
And all is fine, I’m moving in slow
So many possibilities and out the door with past beliefs
Load my desires
Seems like nothing has ever been this clear
There is so much to salvage here
When the choices near, take the ride
On the run, overdone, come what may
Confidence is stained, old affair
Amazed at what I’ve allowed
How those blissful moments betray us

Break through fog where the ugliness roams
Darkest night that haunts us all
And now I'm wishing that things will turn out right
The weight one might carry, isolates
Let go of me, seen quite enough, great moments overdue
So good day, goodnight and farewell
Can't come with me on this flight
So good day, goodnight and farewell
The world's edge is now in sight
Moving fast with no purpose or goal
Can't get past this monstrous wall
There's nothing guiding me, twice the wrecking ball
No storing all these worries, can't fly away
It ties me down and looks right through with unforgiving might

Caught you off your guard, time's got you in a headlock
Take a step back to review
Find out which way to go
It fell through, can undo
Like nothing I've ever seen, the fine line
Out of reach to control, open your eyes
Slightly alarmed
But why let it show?
Just stick to the plan
Your conscience exposed
A break from everything invites you
Begin with the start
Let go for a while
However a world apart
You see it's all it took, you're off the hook
Dealing the wrong cards, it's turned into a trademark
Can't let it slide, defeat you
Less than you care to know
All on you, with no clue
Something must intervene, that one sign
Seems the harder the throw, the smaller the prize

You Are Untitled

Just do what you have to do
But at the end of the line when your best is overthrown
Revalue
Memory's pacing slow
Live in the clouds
You're always stuck inside the roundabout
A no-escape maze is leaving out the clues
Just when you have it all figured out
Wish everything just bounced right off of you
Simply let it be, it can last forever
You'd never assume control again
Wave it all goodbye and salute an end
Make amends soon
The ghosts from your past conducting
Starting anew adamantly
Opponents now block the view
And if there's reason enough, let the questions overflow
Who are you?
What is there left to show?
A face in the crowd

Dancing On Orion

One way ticket, right this way
There’s the hook, you gotta go
Stop explaining yourself
What it takes, I’ll be my only friend
Crave it so
Can’t stop, I’m in full overdrive
Don’t have much of a window
Seems so far away
Hit replay, dancing on Orion
Take my hand
Just let go, answers surely out there
Open skies, don’t look back, you’re on your own
First steps to the time of your life
Be what’s left of the afterglow
For once be the protégé
I lose the fight under your spell
Was I kidding myself?
Well truly I don’t give a damn
It’s your show
Won’t back down as long as I’m still alive
Won’t go right back to zero
That price has been paid

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
