Can we do anything we throw our hearts into? Or is this refrain poetic fantasy We fight so hard clawing at the earth Why do we try to dig our own graves? Colors pale as the sky falls into our hands Are we meant to slave away or is this one cruel mistake? Colors pale as the cuts form upon our hands Can we wash the blood away or is this color meant to stain? Is there any safety in this world we've made? Are we free from chains or have they just changed shape? Colors pale as the sky falls into our hands Are we meant to slave away or is this one cruel mistake? Colors pale as the cuts form upon our hands Can we wash the blood away or is this color meant to stain? Your face looks so empty I'm not sure if you're awake Don't feel so forsaken, you still have a choice to make Don't feel so forsaken, you still have the choice to live Colors pale as the sky falls into our hands Are we meant to slave away or is this one cruel mistake? Colors pale as the cuts form upon our hands Can we wash the blood away or is this color meant to stain? Colors pale, but we will prevail Colors pale, but we will prevail Colors pale, but we will prevail

Universal Dreams 04:44

There's no second place or second best If I'm not in first I'm just as good as last But the universe has sealed away my fate Never had the chance to even compete So what was my mistake? Can we erase the past and change history? I'd do anything to have you with me But the writing upon your heart, was never even addressed to me So why is this my fate? Orion's Belt contains every tool I'd ever need to win over you I'll take out a search party way beyond Mars And I'm not coming back, until I'm guaranteed your heart There is no escape from the past Now I'm left to figure out what is best Without you in my world, my heart is spinning out of control So what's a boy to do? Orion's Belt contains every tool I'd ever need to win over you I'll take out a search party way beyond Mars And I'm not coming back, until I'm guaranteed your heart Sometimes outer space, doesn't seem so far away With my feet on the ground, there's nothing left to be gained I think I'll fly away, 'cause dreams are more adventurous than writing about the past Orion's Belt contains every tool I'd ever need to win over you I'll take out a search party way beyond Mars And I'm not coming back, until I'm guaranteed your heart I would take a trip across the universe I would fly into the blackest of holes In the greatest search to find your love And if I come up short, I won't be coming back to Earth

Gravity 05:30

I'll kiss the sky as your kiss goodbye 'Cause you choose not to stand by my side You can hide in this hole that is your grave But I won't let this pile of dirt push over me Set a course, set course for the sun I'll spread these wings and I'll fly away Like a phoenix I'll burst into flames Born again, I will breathe I've traded in my oxygen for these dreams Now yesterday is a lifetime away You ask me why with hollow eyes 'Cause the ocean has swallowed everything I have ever loved, been washed ashore and returned an empty shell of its former self Set a course, set course for the sun I'll spread these wings and I'll fly away Like a phoenix I'll burst into flames Born again, I will breathe I've traded in my oxygen for these dreams Now yesterday is a lifetime away I'll travel far and map these stars I'll make a chart of the darkness I'll travel far and map these stars I can't be stopped if I never rest 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 These forces fighting me, every inch I move away I can feel your gravity, pulling down, holding back on me But I will defy forces natural You won't persuade the doubt in me I will follow my own metronome There's no true path to destiny

This is the captain calling navigation The system's failing please fix this malfunction Sir, this ship has lost its course Please stand by to switch to manual This ship's not going down 'cause there's no direction And you can be sure as hell, we're not going back The situation's getting worse This planet's gravity has taken control Maintain ship's stabilization We'll wrap around this world to redirect its hold This ship's not going down 'cause there's no direction And you can be sure as hell, we're not going back Diagnostics show an interruption to Internal Communications Device Level 3 reset is being executed Level 3 reset complete Internal Interfaces reconnected, course correction executed This ship's not going down This ship's not going down This ship's not going down This ship's not going down This ship's not going down 'cause there's no direction And you can be sure as hell, we're not going back

We are shrouded in the darkness of a past ripped apart by the sins of our fathers before the Holy Ark We held the world on our shoulders as we made it boil over Life slipped away, so we made our escape It was too late, we made our mistakes It was too late, to salvage any piece of home The land now left cracked and broken We seek refuge in technology With corpses left, offered as token Medicine and poison aren't the same It was too great to bandage anything It was too great, we made our home bleed away We mourn the loss of our ancient world From dust to dust we crumble back to dirt We mourn the loss of our ancient world From dust to dust we crumble back to dirt Spinning world of fire serves as funeral pyre Can you take us higher, to a new world order? In the moons of ice we seek to renew this plight This ark feels like prison, artificial prism A generation of refugees trying to make their own mistakes After decades of old pioneers withered away, only memories We mourn the loss of our ancient world From dust to dust we crumble back to dirt We mourn the loss of our ancient world From dust to dust we crumble back to dirt

This Was My Choice 03:42
lyrics

It's the middle of the night and I can't get any sleep You're somewhere far away, you're always out of reach Sometimes it's not enough, talking through a screen But I know what I need, I know just what I need I need you I need you I need you I need you to walk in through the door There's no concept of time when you're flying up here But the planets keep on spinning and our cells are surely aging Now I'm lost in the abyss, could I just steal one kiss? But I know what I need, I know just what I need I need you when I'm sad and alone I need you when I want someone to hold I need you before I get to old I need you to walk in through the door I know you're in love with your great big world, but that's just the start to the universe You could have seen it all with me You should have seen it all with me I need you to know, I need you right now I need you to know, I need you right now I need you to know, I need you to know This was the choice that I had to make, to force myself along after all I could take I know you'll never understand Why should I even care? I know you'll never understand, and I know you'll never leave him

If you are charm, then I am strange They'll never make us break away The more you pull, the more I hope The greater the force, the more I love I'm just a particle, but I can be your wave I'll follow you anywhere, I won't hesitate In this uncertain world I'll always find a way There is no greater force to keep you from me For you I'd tunnel through anything If you are charm, then I am strange We are so close, but not the same If you could pull yourself away I'd be alone, you can't be replaced I'm just a particle, but I can be your wave I'll follow you anywhere, I won't hesitate In this uncertain world I'll always find a way There is no greater force to keep you from me For you I'd tunnel through anything If we travel at the speed of light we'll watch the world go by If we travel at the speed of light we can stop in time I'm just a particle, but I can be your wave I'll follow you anywhere, I won't hesitate In this uncertain world I'll always find a way There is no greater force to keep you from me For you I'd tunnel through anything I know you're charm, 'cause I am strange We share a thread they'll never break

Lily 03:17

What is this feel I fear, it grows ever stronger as you draw near You are the brightest star I've ever seen, more precious than gold, more sacred than dreams There is no other like you in the sky, I've traveled this universe far and wide But I am forsaken to pass you by, why must this star remain in the sky? For you are the one I've seen in my dreams Visions obscure, but still complete You are the star that was meant for me This is the truth that you cannot see I only wish to feel complete Please let me stay, don't stop this dream So Lily please, don't stop this dream I've given you all I have to give, but still you burn my hands My love's not enough for you to love me, I'd give up my life to set you free But that's not what you want, you do care for me, but you need a star that I can't be I'll give you this ring with our parting words, I hope to get it back, and then we'll burn We'll burn bright, we'll burn through the night It'll be alright, I will hold you tight So Lily please, don't stop this dream

Don't Cross The Line 04:39
lyrics

You're another anomaly we wish to know, that's why we seek So great you could consume my world, so why has fate now led me here? You're close enough to taste Are you a door to the unknown? Do you defy the universe? We're almost there, we're oh so close If I reach out will I be pulled apart? Don't cross the line Beyond this horizon things are gonna get violent Don't cross the line There's no turning back from this point It's a struggle to solve this puzzle, hearts obscured, darkness shadows How do we unravel the unknown, there's risk involved in every choice Now contemplate my fate Are you a door to the unknown? Do you defy the universe? We're almost there, we're oh so close If I reach out will I be pulled apart? Don't cross the line Beyond this horizon things are gonna get violent Don't cross the line There's no turning back from this point Darkness shadows, but still I must go If I can't know you there's no meaning to this world Follow a path into the unknown Don't be afraid to find the truth Are you a door to the unknown? Do you defy the universe? We're almost there, we're oh so close If I reach out will I be pulled apart? Don't cross the line Beyond this horizon things are gonna get violent Don't cross the line There's no turning back from this point

I Am The Actor, I Am The Astronaut 04:44
lyrics
buy track
My beating heart is a dying star, it will explode into a black hole With no regard for who you are I'll pull you in if you get too close Ripped apart like a B-rate star, this void's too big to be closed When we coalesced I knew you were the best, but gravity has changed your path But still I'm not buying it because I know, I know what lying is I am the actor, I've seen the mirror And you're still too afraid to establish a link I am the astronaut, I'll give you your space This life is slowly killing me as the hope is diminishing But I promise it will never leave I've come so far and tried so hard, but my heart remains on Earth There is a hole inside my chest and only you can fill this emptiness You think of me, but I dream of you This monologue is just a rant I'm screaming into space, so here's the truth This will never end because I will always love you
