City Mashups

I just need a second to remember what I have been seeing
I’ve been dreaming in the fifth dimension
Cities have been merging
It’s a memory or new idea
It’s all just too confusing
And I’m writing all my words down in this book that I am keeping
It’s the city mashups that I have been dreaming
Redesigning the whole world as it keeps turning
It’s the city mashups that I have been dreaming
It’s a deja vu I’m starting to believe in
We were biking through the city skyline heading to NY
With a sunset laced in purple, orange, blue magnetic dye
All the kids from the block switching pavements down some avenue
And I cracked my phone up
Caught this moment
It knocked me out for good
Skating on the pillars of the church that burnt to ground
In my version it was over
Dust was flashing stuck in time
Bunch of people breathing the remains
While gargoyles turned to grain
’Twas the strangest beauty
Now its over
I’m the foreigner
Woke up at the airport
Strapped for cash
Can’t tell you why
It’s a mutilation of the nations
Strangest I’ve come by
And eventually I had to leave the Earth for quarantine
Took it another space and then
We held hands on the Heath
Seeing all these redesigned shit holes up in the north
I say we must stay this car cause there will be a kill
There's a rainbow backdrop and
My girls have started a new band
In a store thats selling all the denim
Now’s the time to score

Terminal 5
I’m already 4 stops away
I crashed through the ceiling
That was made of glass
Went through the shaft of an elevator
The train of thought left the platform at 3:45
Yesterday was the last training day I’d ever have
I’ve been insane for longer than you
I’m on the run
About to pull through
My head was down
Facing the floor
Kissing it hello
I knew the score
Boarding commencing
Inception beginning
Permission to take off granted
This life is a dream
Skipping frames or glitching seamlessly
Enter the machine
Seat 1A or just a stowaway
Heathrow to JFK
Or waiting for you in the desert mirage
Desert mirage
I’ve been insane for longer than you
I’m on the run
About to pull through
My head was down
Facing the floor
Kissing it hello
I knew the score
Boarding commencing
Inception beginning
Permission to take off granted/..///

Gentle Squeeze
04:06
|

|
Not here to fight, just getting physical to the spirit that's here
I got a soft spot and rear view mirror to rejoice while they fall
I’m always caught up in some shenanigans
It’s a cyclical, funny kind of thing
Everybody’s hanging on coattails now
Gosh I don’t know how they can last so long
I’m that guy who showed you
Showed you, showed my little world
Now behold, what it is to
What it is turn some tables too
I only meant to start this brawl
In order to release, this squeeze you had me in
Multiplying until…
I go to grab the back of your neck and feel
What it is to perform this gentle squeeze
What kind of energy must I muster up
To remove this mask and this cowardice
I’ll have you dancing on the Ley lines
I’ll have you kneeling down on my shrine
Drinking red wine
Word’s out on the street its a retrograde
It’s a mass hysteria of the age
What’s become of us, I need answers now
Don’t like being drunk, but I like the zone
I’ll have you dancing on the Ley lines
I’ll have you kneeling down on my shrine
Drinking red wine
I’m that guy who showed you
Showed you how to have a ball
What it is to be honest
The end of the world as we know it
The end of the world as we know it
The end of the world as we know it

Directorial Debut
03:24

I want to scream
I want to tear a hole in my lung
There’s a part of me inside that wants to run
Scream until I’m done
No, you want take my gun
I’m just for some fun
Got a knife to my neck
Got a gun to my head
What am I?
Why keep playing this?
It’s the last street fight with my mind
I want to scream and tear the fabric of space and time
A new asshole, oh my weary life
Give myself the gift
No, you won’t take my gun
I’m living for the thrill
But that’s not nearly enough
No, that’s not nearly enough
Or something I want
And I don’t have one anyway
I5t’s just a prop from a movie
From my directorial debut
Got a knife to my neck
Got a gun to my head
What am I?
Why keep playing this?
It’s the last street fight with my mind
You’re not my enemy
And you’re not me
You’re not my enemy
And you’re not me

10 years have gone in a flash
I’ve changed my world a thousand times
24 hours lived every day
Except for 2, it’s just that way
What my world needs now is to fall in love
And please just let me ride it out
And let me live this dream again each night
Following is up to you.
10 years have gone in a flash
I used to count but don’t anymore
Memories in my freezer again
Burning by the sun in the cloud
I’ve been dreaming while awake
It was hard to face the day
Please just let me ride it out
And let me dream again
What my world needs now is to fall in love
And please just let me ride it out
And let me live this dream again each night
Following is up to you.
10 years have gone in a flash
And next 10 are no different
Rest in peace while you’re alive
Up to you, it’s no goodbye
What my world needs now is to fall in love
And please just let me ride it out
And let me live this dream again each night
Following is up to you.

What’s it take to clear you head
Of all the things you’ve ever read
Of all the trash that we collect
Why put it in the vent
What’s the point in being friends
If all you care is about yourself
Heartbreak’s walking down a boulevard with no horizon
Sometimes you speak cause you wait too long
Yet it’s not relevant anymore
Sometimes you smile when you’re beaten
Sometimes you cry for no reason
I was afraid of the future
The thread unraveled again
It’s good to have heart made of stone
Who said it can’t be hollow and warm
Was walking towards a mountain that’s only getting smaller
What’s it take to clear you head
Of all the things you’ve ever read
Of all the trash that we collect
It’s time to put it in the vent

Mutants

Swimming deeper to the shadow
Switching timelines, changing themes
False memory in the making
See an aurora flash with the wind
You better speed up cause I’m crazy, I shift like a fish
You better speed up cause I’m changing form for the better
I’m a Sasquatch, I’m a kite that you fly, won’t come down
Chameleon man, I’m a UFO that won’t stick around
Take a seat while I explain to you
What it’s like coming from the south
Lick my scales and I’ll arpeggiate
That’s my romantic gesture to you
You better speed up cause I’m crazy, I shift like a fish
You better speed up cause I’m changing form for the better
I’m a Sasquatch, I’m a kite that you fly, won’t come down
Chameleon man, I’m a UFO that won’t stick around
Roll out the carpet, let me dance for you
Sat on the top of Primrose Hill
Melting out here, I need water too
Then I’ll turn back to thin air
You better speed up cause I’m crazy, I shift like a fish
You better speed up cause I’m changing form for the better
I’m a Sasquatch, I’m a kite that you fly, won’t come down
Chameleon man, I’m a UFO that won’t stick around

Whole New Era

I am the radio
I am the radio
I am TV
A long antenna ready to receive
The roaring twenties get me in the mood
Don’t want to waste time with you my love
It’s been a 100 years since the last dance
Just a few loose cannons left to fix
Some whiskey sours I just want to mix
Let’s get our faces on a magazine
Let’s setup camp and wait for the morning news
There’s a whole new era to begin
Cause you are my favourite song
My favourite song
We begin a
Whole New Era
Whole New Era
Whole New Era
Whole New Era
There’s a whole new era to begin
Cause you are my favourite song
My favourite song
We begin a
Whole New Era
Whole New Era
Whole New Era
Whole New Era
There’s a whole new era to begin
Cause you are my favourite song
My favourite song

Break the chain
The past has gone away
Runway lights keep surfacing, we’re nearing
She woke me up, the end of flight is dawning
To the desert mirage
Head in the clouds and feet on the ground
Break the chain
The past has gone away

Final Descent

We were upset
What we went through
Bring it on home I’ll be right there
Traded a pillow for the ground
The earth split in two
One destruct
One new
Detention is over
I’m sure as the sun
Look forward to seeing you real soon
