In oceans of static
My mind starts to panic
Watch it rise past our heels
On glaciers so frantic
They'll sink in the Atlantic
Or so they feel
With eyes set so far out to sea
There's nothing but man-made astrology
To put our metal hearts at ease
And guide me...
Guide me back where we planned
To build our castles in the sand
Where you promised me these neon dreams won't fade
Until we lock our memories away
Virus in the air
What have you taken from my mind
That I can't spare
Change and rearrange
The ghost that's in your brain
Just don't let it decode
This glacier is my father
This shining moon is my mother
I'm just a child born of cold, dark nights
And bone-chilling pneumonia
And every time I rush
The ice, the avalanche inside erupts
And every step I ask myself
Has the frost consumed me now
Guide me back where we planned
To build our castles in the sand
Where you promised me these neon dreams won't fade
Until we lock our memories away
As my tears run, I rust apart
As my joints cease I become a still work of art
A canvas painted pastel peach and dowsed in kerosene
These flames have come to haunt our dreams
But we wake up before they meet
When all I see is snow
I'll know we're far away from home
Where is there a guiding light
I need to see in front of me
I need to the spark ignite
I need to find some space to breathe
Before my body fails me
I want to head so far away
So dangerous but so unfair
Just close my eyes so I don't care
In oceans of static
My mind starts to panic
Watch it rise past our heels
On glaciers so frantic
They'll sink in the Atlantic
Or so they feel
Guide me back where we planned
To build our castles in the sand
Where you promised me these neon dreams won't fade
Until we lock our memories away

Neon Dreams
03:33
|

This balloon of noise drowns out the fear
And takes us far away from here
Run, run, run, white rabbit
You always seem to have so much fun
Chasing your habits
I'll be there
I'll be the Navigator
Just so they know
I'll be your
I'll be your compass to the north
I've seen these neon dreams only one time before
Got me questioning why I live and what for
Nice and slow
We shake our bodies through this town
Take a moment to attract a crowd
But all we get are these fools and clowns
So run white rabbit
You always seem to have so much fun
Chasing your habits
I'll be there
I'll be the Navigator
Just so they know
I'll be your
I'll be your compass to the north
I've seen these neon dreams only one time before
Got me questioning why I live and what for
Nice and slow
Am I missing my soul
Or does my heart hold the meaning of the unknown?
I wish I hadn't broken
You know that I could grow to be greater
In time
Did you know that my memory ages like fine wine?
A liquor life for a robot that's denied his mind
I'll be there
I'll be the Navigator
Just so they know
I'll be your
I'll be your compass to the north
I've seen these neon dreams only one time before
Got me questioning why I live and what for
This balloon of noise drowns out the fear
And takes us far away from here

Dark Star
03:20
|

All those moments will be lost in time
Take it from the world,
Don't you see who you want to be?
Don't you think that you'll fade into obscurity?
So put me into space
Forget my terrestrial state
To find a new home, we just can't wait
To start life over again
And never go back to where we began
Don't forget what you're made of
'Cus everything fails one day
Don't implode, you're no dark star
Yet you die in such a beautiful way
A beautiful way
So take it from the world,
You should be who you want to be
That metal shell won't stop you from catching feelings
So take my heart away
And back to the factory it was made in
When the masses oppose we'll show them we're not made of tin
When all I've got left is my data to give
I can't go back to being without it
Dark, dark star
Dark, in this dark star
Dark...
In this dark star how many moments does it take,
Until my neurons dilate?
In this dark star how much longer is there 'til I phase
Out of this world and into space
(Into space)
Don't forget what you're made of
'Cus everything fails one day
Don't implode, you're no dark star
Yet you die in such a beautiful way
A beautiful way

Hey! Well jump for me, girl
And bounce, bounce, bounce
All around my world
Sitting in this red room together
We seal in the flavor with a kiss
Dancing in the moonlight together
Watch it bounce of my metal skin
Hey, hey!
I want you to be my strawberry lady
Hey, hey!
You're sweeter than you seem
Babe, you'd better throw away those sour dreams
And climb under the sheets
I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
Fuckin' smashed the alarm clock
I'm down, I'm down, I'm down, I'm down
For whatever knocks off our socks
Open up the fridge and give it a whiff
Something smells sweet, don't it?
Take out the cake and throw it in the lake
It's soggy but you'd still eat it
Tastes so healthy, fills my belly with a sense of dread
This fruity tumor grows like a berry in my head
Hey, hey!
I want you to be my strawberry lady
Hey, hey!
You're sweeter than you seem
Babe, you'd better throw away those sour dreams
And climb under the sheets
So push the front seat back (in the back)
Let's go for a ride in my cherry Cadillac
Cut me some slack
It's by design that you're wasting my time
So push it back (in the back)
Let's take a ride and steal a purple pontiac
Cut me some slack
'Cus I want you to be my strawberry lady
Hey, hey!
I want you to be my strawberry lady
Hey, hey!
You're sweeter than you seem
Babe, you'd better throw away those sour dreams
And climb under the sheets

In our room it’s cold tonight
But our hands keep eachother warm
And in the recesses of our minds
We hope for something more
All ‘cus it’s cold outside, cold outside
Cold out in the snow
So where do go, where do we go
If we cannot go home?
We’ll work it out, we’ll work it out
Don’t you leave me alone
Just sing it out loud, sing it out loud
And I will sing along with you
Sing aloud
I’ll hold back the seasons
Winter is over
Hello today, goodbye tomorrow
Hello summer, I knew you’d show
And when the flowers bloom i’ll know
That the seeds we planted are ready to grow
Hello today, goodbye tomorrow
I feel the summer in my soul
And when the flowers bloom, I think i’ll know
That the seed we planted is ready to grow
That the seed we planted is ready to grow
Ready to grow
Right now this house scares me more than ever
Tried hiding under the blankets, can’t hide forever
But there’s no such thing as ghosts
It’s just shadows moving on their own
But wait, I swear I saw that shadow jump off the wall
Go outside, go outside
And you won’t feel afraid anymore
The weather is nice, the weather is nice
Watch how all the clouds divide
In the spring light, in the spring light
We’ll have picnics all the time
But try as we might, try as we might
We can’t bring these ghosts back to life
Back to life
I’ll hold back the seasons
Winter is over
Hello today, goodbye tomorrow
Hello summer, I knew you’d show
And when the flowers bloom i’ll know
That the seeds we planted are ready to grow
Hello today, goodbye tomorrow
I feel the summer in my soul
And when the flowers bloom, I think i’ll know
That the seed we planted is ready to grow
That the seed we planted is ready to grow
Goodbye today, hello tomorrow
Goodbye to summer and so it goes

Awkward Androids
04:21

Do we believe in what a robot can dream
With a mainframe-like mind as vast as the sea
Do androids dream of electric sheep as they fall of to sleep
If oblivion is a setting sun, the moon is melancholy
Like a holy one worshipped by neon nuns
It takes faith to face reality
Just hold the door
Don't let the data pour
And hop aboard
you'll lose your chords and so much more
On a train of thought, on a train of thought
We'll ride it where we've never been before
Tear out the motherboard and disconnect the brain
I'm losing all my memories, my chip-set is detained
Schematics of antics, code in the rage
Reprogramming static saying "Mom, it's not a phase"
I'll pretend i'm not made of metal
And have no engine
Sending my codes to NASA
Like a satellite of tin
(I thrive on 8-bit beeps)
(I live in all that's binary)
We get our wires crossed, but we're not letting go now
We get our wires crossed but, there's no way we've lost it all
So hey, you, can you be still for a year or two?
I'll keep my will when I'm sick and tired of being known
As that robotic guy
Such a sympathetic
Over and over the bolts and nodes
Put into motion
I found myself floating away on a dream like new
Neglecting the notion
I found myself coping with just the thought of getting through
Put into motion my mind as an ocean, washing away all i knew
Forced into emotion, I found myself broken in pieces
Like you
With this locomotion, I travel unloaded
Lighter than the ending of us
Because we never fixed it
I feel myself blend into love that never lusts
Was there a way, was there a way
All we know is unfamiliar
I'll pretend i'm not made of metal
And have no engine
Sending my codes to NASA
Like a satellite of tin
(I thrive on 8-bit beeps)
(I live in all that's binary)
So hey, you, can you be still for a year or two
I'll keep my will when I'm sick and tired of being known
As that robotic guy

Skies turn upside down
No, no there's no way to turn around
And I don't know if we're allowed
To stand among the clouds
No don't run your mouth, don't make a sound
There's no playing chicken in the south
What's the limit now if we can never touch the gound
Speak now or forever hold your peace
There's a metal tube in my ear
Got a cochlear implant to help me hear
Got an error in my brain, info I can't retain
So when I speak, I speak out of fear
There's an algorithm tuning me behaviorally
So are you sure that I'm still me
Maybe we're making it up as we go
Hold on tight, reality isn't real y'know
Hold on to the fanstasy
Let go of reality
Reality
We learn to follow our footsteps
And shout mi amor, we learn more and more
I want more
We choose to believe our chip-sets
Singing au revoir, when our common sense is no more
Hearts turn inside out
No, no there's no way to turn around
'Cus I don't know if we're alive or machines by design
No don't run your mouth, don't make a sound
There's no playing chicken in the south
And there's no limit now as the servers come crashing down
Speak now or forever hold your peace
Speak now or forever hold your peace
Are we still human in the end
Or just artificial friends
Do you read those codes we send
Or is our language dead
I believe, I believe
I believe we learn to follow
We learn to follow our footsteps
And shout mi amor, we learn more and more
I want more
We choose to believe our chip-sets
Singing au revoir, when our common sense is no more
And shout mi amor, singing au revoir
We learn more and more
When our common sense is no more, say au revoir
And learn to follow your footsteps out the door
Say au revoir

Electric Emotions

Where can we find
All we need to rebuild
Our mechanical minds
Where can we find
All we need to rebuild our mechanical minds
Hold on tight
To every single sense that makes you feel alive
We need to buy
Each other a drink and see if it affects our minds
Let go and I'll show you a good time
The air is electric tonight
So connect the conduits to our emotions
And we will know what it takes
To amplify the revolutions that keep us spinning
From day to day
Switch off all the power
I could run for hours
Frequencies devour
The currents from your tower
Where can we find
All we need to rebuild our mechanical minds
Hold on tight
To every single sense that makes you feel alive
We need to buy
Each other a drink and see if it affects our minds
Let go and I'll show you a good time
Feel electric tonight
So connect the conduits to our emotions
And we will know what it takes
To amplify the revolutions that keep us spinning
From day to day
It's plug and play, virtual escape
Semicolons end every line and phrase
Where can we find
All we need to rebuild our mechanical minds
Where can we find
All we need to rebuild our mechanical minds
Hold on tight
To every single sense that makes you feel alive
We need to buy
Each other a drink and see if it affects our minds
Let go and I'll show you a good time
Feel electric tonight
So connect the conduits to our emotions
And we will know what it takes
To amplify the revolutions that keep us spinning
From day to day

Hang me out dry and let my spirit fly
Don't go downtown into the rampage
Where we let our spirits fly for a change to remain
Let me skip all precautions, the choices, the options
Hide all the children before godzilla adopts them
We're not afraid of this
We'll walk away from this
Downtown they all patiently wait
For all of the meteors to take them into outer space
Deeper, deeper, our fear hastes
Drink up all your luck and we'll save the day
With the dinosaur gang
(Part two)
We saved the day
With the dinosaur gang
World on fire and the city is all but gone
Hop in the car and we'll run from the panic and chaos we've caused
And as we run away we watched as our lives all turned to dust
There's gotta be a way to find it all
Before the meteor falls
Where in the world can we find (all of the people)
All the people like us who believe it's the end of time
Where on this earth can I hide
From those who believe we'd lie
Fractions of a second to find a better place to hide
We lived our whole lives and could never decide
When our our habitat dies
We'll shoot into the sky
Downtown they all patiently wait
For all of the meteors to take them into outer space
Deeper, deeper, our fear hastes
Drink up all your luck and we'll save the day
With the dinosaur gang
(Part two)

Notions
04:01

Between the avenues
There's no space for comprehension
Between the strings that divide
On the edge of reason
Between the atoms and you
There's no space for molecular redemption
Suspended in my need for maximum attention
We bathed in oceans of light
For eternity we said goodnight
The noisy streets abandon all the voices in our mind
And now they're chasing us like matter to no end
Oh, how they're matching up the protons to pretend
They're just like us, they're just like us
But they'll all rust after a year
But we don't shed a tear because they say
That they're just like us
That they're just like us
We're bathed in oceans of light
For eternity we said goodnight
The noisy streets abandon all the voices in our mind
Burned into the corneas of our eyes
A static sea of sounds, one million cars and sighs
Infinity has swallowed everything in sight
And now there's nothing left inside
Infinity has swallowed everything in sight
We run and hide into our fantasy lives
We run and hide into our fantasy lives
Infinity has swallowed everything in sight
Can't let go
Let my notions roll
Where the strings divide and circle
Let me notions roll
The cars on the street, they race by me
They knock me off my feet
And the cars on the street, they race by me
They knock me off my feet, they knock me off my feet
(Form no retention, form no retention)
Just like us
Just like us
Like us
We're bathed in oceans of light
For eternity we said goodnight
The noisy streets abandon all the voices in our mind
Burned into the corneas of our eyes
A static sea of sounds, one million cars and sighs
Infinity has swallowed everything in sight

Oh, dreamhouse we're on our way
To a coast where the boats sail in and out everyday
Oh, sweetheart you're my home away from the cape
But the cove still calls my name
Waiting for me to return one day
Here in the city that never sleeps
You don't need to count those sheep
Here in the alley where we can meet
I'll give you all I've got for free
So you went east, and I went west
You tried so hard to prove our differences
We've finally cleared the air at last
No, I don't need that oxygen mask
Don't need that, don't need that oxygen mask
Don't need that, don't need that, don't need that oxygen mask
I'll tell you now, I'll tell you true
I'd be nothing at all without you
Lost in the past with future views
So here's a toast to all that's new
That watch is new, that dress ain't you
This world is falling down around her
With your world view and dreams like glue
I will be sticking 'round to ground her
And if we both move, we'll stay in tune
If we both move we'll stay in tune
Here in the city that never sleeps
You don't need to count those sheep
Here in the alley where we can meet
I'll give you all I've got for free
So you went east, and I went west
You tried so hard to prove our differences
We've finally cleared the air at last
No, I don't need that oxygen mask
Don't need that, don't need that oxygen mask
Don't need that, don't need that, don't need that oxygen mask
I'll tell you now, I'll tell you true
I'll lay it all down right here for you
I'll find a place where we can rule
And look out over this gorgeous view
Are those earrings new? That dress still isn't you
Let it fall down like you always do
I'll travel light, don't worry I'll come home soon
Just leave the door unlocked like you always do
Leave the door unlocked like you always do
I don't need that, don't need that oxygen mask
Don't need that, don't need that, don't need that oxygen mask
Here in the city that never sleeps
You don't need to count those sheep
Here in the alley where we can meet
I'll give you all I've got for free
So you went east, and I went west
You tried so hard to prove our differences
We've finally cleared the air at last
No, I don't need that oxygen mask
No I don't need that oxygen mask
No I don't need that oxygen mask
I don't need that, I don't need that, I don't need that oxygen mask

They say he who swallowed a falling star
Oh, heartless man your heart is ours
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But your star is fading out
It's time to cut it loose
I'm lying face down in the sand
As a bed of beach is slipping through my hands
And on a lonely shoreline the clocks are ticking
To catch me in my consciousness
We're on a howling castle marching to the myth
I'm retracing the fantasy so I can fit in
Forget the details and demand I recall
Every single letter that slips under the door
'Cus every minor moment we want to give in evermore
And now we are stuck
between the stars and the antimatter,
It's all unfamiliar ground
As I chase the aurora down
Looking up at all the stars falling to the ground
I will keep safe this forlorn heart I've found
Yet still I feel the cosmos whisper in my ear
Heads in the clouds
Where constellations can sing out loud
Like a symphony of colours in the night
So I chased the aurora down
And now I've seen it all
I feel the grass give way under my feet, revealing a flower-bed of grey
They say he who swallowed a falling star
Oh, heartless man your heart is ours
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But your star is fading out
It's time to cut it loose
They say he who swallowed a falling star
Oh, heartless man your heart's already ours
Oh how the scarecrows scatter
Underneath their weathered, wooden skin
So find me and fix me, marionette me, walk me to the edge
'Cus every time you walk by
I feel your warmth and cold in dissonance
Now the rain floods in, brought by the wind
And I can't escape it
Now our hearts, they guide the way
I'll find the northern lights one day
As I chase the aurora down
Looking up at all the stars falling to the ground
I will keep safe this forlorn heart I've found
Yet still I feel the cosmos whisper in my ear
Heads in the clouds
Where constellations can sing out loud
Like a symphony of colours in the night
So I chased the aurora down
And now I've seen it all
