Deep Space Mayday

Hello
Can you hear me
Mission Control - can anyone hear me
Calling from deep space
This is Star Captain
I'm the only one awake
On course to contact
A place where time
Ceases to exist
Deep in the mind
The cosmos inside
Captain's Log
Earthdate: 3659
Why did I accept
All the doubts
Insecurity, anxiety, exposed as a fraud
it never goes away
Mission Launch: 3695
This is the finest crew, a privilege to lead
Difficult mission ahead
many rely on us, waiting on solid ground
Waiting
A place where time
Ceases to exist
Deep in the mind
The cosmos inside
3943
Can you hear me
Can anyone hear me
Lost in deep space
With no else awake
Off course and navigation down
3699
Frozen in time
Drifting in space
Follow the straight line
Something's wrong
Damage unknown
Catastrophic outcomes unforseen
We have lost all contact with everyone from home
Plunging through the event horizon
We said goodby to the past
We have lost our place
We cannot come back
We are the lost star children sending a deep mayday to outer space
We have lost all contact
Mayday
We have lost all contact in outer space
Mayday

Savior Complex

Meet your savior
in the mirror
So many promises
belief has to keep
when it isn’t simple
just to be good
Savior Complex
Save yourself
I don’t have to tell you
These false hopes are false idols
The old lies we cherish
A poison salve
Whose side are you on
When you’re never wrong
Do something right
Shine bright, white knight
Meet your savior in the mirror
Let your pain rest on my shoulders
You tell yourself
Things that aren’t true
If you hate yourself
Nothing I can do
Savior Complex
Save yourself
Let your pain rest on my shoulders
I don’t have to tell you
These false hopes are false idols
The old lies we cherish
A poison salve
Save yourself

The Hermit

The last thing I would want
is to live forever, to be forever
You hold in your hand an invitation
back to the past, the time of your youth
Innocence you yearn for, ignorance to die for
Once you knew the lies from the truth
You believed
How many years does it take to discover yourself
Live through this age with so much change
Stay ahead, far ahead
Once you knew the lies from the truth
You believed
We're all adrift in the middle of the ocean
Touch the sky
Breathe in time
Listen in frequency
The last thing I would want is to be dumb forever
spinning and circling
The last thing I would want is to be stupid forever
to be young forever
We're all adrift in the middle of the ocean
Touch the sky
Breathe in time
Listen in frequency
How many years does it take

How could something feel so good be so bad
There you are my sweet angel
Come closer to me
No turning back now
Indulge in luxury
Powder fairy come to me
I’m sorry we’ve been apart
Can we make amends
Bring back your wings
No secret you’re bad for me
A fatal purity
You’re all that’s in my mind
Consume the body, leave to die
And with all this time
All I could think of was you
I fade away in between the urge
A disease for the need to please
We feel need for things we want
Paid for at every expense
If it’s the drive to survive
Addiction keeps us alive
Powder fairy come to me
I’m sorry we’ve been apart
Can we make amends
Bring back your wings
And with all this time
All I could think of was you
I fade away in between the urge
A disease for the need to please
How could something feel so good be so bad
And with all this time
All I could think of was you
I fade away in between the urge
A disease for the need to please
How does one
Fall in love
Serve and please
this disease
How does one
Fall in love
To serve and please
this disease
Could it be
Euphoria
Could it be
Ecstacy
Could it be
Clarity
Could it be
A love so free
Not this way
It’s not ok
Let me be
Set me free
Not this way
It’s not ok
Leave me be
Set me free

Once upon a time, a long time ago
Man worshiped the sky above
Gods up high staring down
Dancing around the center of the universe
"There is no solace, above or below
Only us: small, solitary, striving
Fighting each other, I pray for myself
Killing another, I pray to myself"
We made contact
with Spectrum Invisible
Message received
We are in need
Where are the answers in times of need
Rituals of the past, the world of tomorrow
Question the preacher, question belief
Truth Inside reveals itself, then you will be free
We made contact
with Spectrum Invisible
Message received
(We are in need)
(Perpetual greed)
(Extinction indeed)
We are in need

Sleepwalk

Wake me up
Safe from falling
Where light turns dark
Have you ever wondered why you're so afraid
"To protect myself because I know better"
But maybe, just maybe, you're afraid to change
In the middle of the night
Wake up from the nightmare
Go where vision makes you open your eyes
Sleepwalk in the middle of the night
Wake up from the nightmare
Go where vision opens your eyes
Face the dark or break apart
What's in your mind makes its way out
If you hold back the sweetness turns bitter
So much was the cost, no one ever tells you
If I knew the price, would I pursue
In the middle of the night
Wake up from the nightmare
Go where vision makes you open your eyes
Sleepwalk in the middle of the night
Wake up from the nightmare
Go where vision opens your eyes
Sleepwalk
Turn around
These nightmares are desires that have never come true
Wake me up
Wake up

Psychosis

what were my fears
what did I have to lose
why did I close down
and reject your love
if only I knew, this could be true
What was I afraid of
What did I think I’d find
the choices were made
move unafraid
decisions to be entertained
The things I would do
Would they matter to you
If they were deluded fantasy
Do I believe at all?
But this regret is wrong
What was I afraid of
What did I think I’d find
into the quiet abyss

Will you tell me
Another story
We can go back in time
Or skip to the future
But let’s start with right now
The present is a gift
these things I conceive
do you believe
I will follow you
my disciple
As pieces of me float away
these things I conceive
do you believe
I will follow you
my disciple
As pieces of me float away
Will you tell me
Another story
As pieces of me float away
these things I conceive
do you believe
I will follow you
my disciple
As pieces float
As pieces of me float away
these things I conceive
do you believe
I will follow you
my disciple

Lightspeed

It was madness
it was insanity
it was all these things
all at once
sitting there
feeling bored
numb out of your eyes
thinking about
what drug to do next
how high can you go
how farther out
can your find yourself
in the depths
deep in your mind
all you see
what will you find
will you like it
or be disgusted by it
It’s all moving so fast at the speed of light
stronger
higher
faster
smarter
all these things
amplified
electrified
this medicated man
straight on his way
into the depths of outer space
inside the inner mind
keeps going further
how much further?
deeper than the deepest trench
into the blackest abyss
all the way to the infinite
the infinite unknown
and into infinite psychosis
will the medicated man
ever come and return
or will he be lost forever
It’s even harder to say the things in my mind today
Are you looking back or calling home

Red Sails

Magic powder
Infinite sky
A world of faith, trust, and pixie dust
Does that thought in your mind set you free from gravity
Does that pill have what it takes
to cure the ills of the body that aches
Is that regret in your heart holding you down
Second to the right
Straight til
Second star to the right
Sailing the seas with a vengeance
She's the Captain of the Red Sails
Cleared for takeoff
I see you fly
You're so high
Free and fly
Second to the right
Straight til morning
Second star to the right
Straight til morning
The true story turns myth to magic
Where dreams are born and time never planned
Second to the right
Straight til morning
Second star to the right
Straight til morning
Cleared for takeoff
I see you fly
You're so high
Free and fly
Magic powder
Infinite sky
Is that regret holding you down
Second to the right
Straight til morning
Second star to the right
Straight til morning
Cleared for takeoff
I see you fly
You're so high
Free and fly
