The Radiant Bomb 03:24
lyrics
buy track
You settled in with the dust So unafraid to drift away Poisonous to the touch Your lifeless look, made to betray... Hollowed hearts fooled from the start... Is this a lie? Is this a dream? And is this for nothing? When I open my eyes, I see your disguise You lead me into you Please just suffocate the pain Hidden inside... When I look to the sky, your radiance will explode. I can still recall The moment I met you I truly believed That I'd never resent you Now I'm just a star Flickering as it falls apart And when it burns out It won't remember you... When I open my eyes, I see your disguise Hidden behind your clever design If I had seen this coming...

Cosmic Lullaby 04:11
lyrics

A static design, a subatomic weapon Goodnight, goodnight Fevered constellations propelled throughout her skies I’ll lay me down to sleep If time would stop then this could lead me to believe That I’m falling for you in this dream come true Her skin like polished ivory Her mind so deeply shone goodnight, goodnight More brilliant than all light My heart gave out that night I’ll lay me down tonight Time should stop so I can get this whole thing right That I’m falling for you in this dream come true I’ve heard of love before, I thought I’d never felt it There was something written in her eyes that night Lit by the starlight, close your eyes I’m gonna hold you through the night

Meteor Heard 03:30
lyrics

Hey, my arms are open wide I’m waiting for the fall The time will soon be right (To break free from denial) Why am I so quick to judge, When no one judges me? I want something that’s more A chance to be free I’ve never seen that light before Coming through the door Transcending This time, you’ll shine through your perception I’ve never seen that light before Coming through the door Descending This life is mine and I’ll always be true Hey now that I am free This is a part of me from now until forever (Until stars burn out and die) The night engulfs Now the moment is clear We can have it all and rock this world

Supernova 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Stuck at this place in time, you pull your hand from mine When did I cross the line? I hate to see you this way Refusing any comfort for your pain Glowing, exploding I can’t find my grip on this now Going and hoping My tears will still reach you somehow This all went up like supernova We turned around and drowned in promises I cared for you and picked you up when no one else would In the end, so far from bliss, I followed this But it was no good… So that’s just how the story goes (I sense a change in you) Your need for love, it really shows I hate to see you this way Abusing any comfort for your pain Glowing, exploding I can’t find my grip on this now Going and hoping The world will be good to you now

I Won't Come If You Call 07:07
lyrics
buy track
Hey, I’ve watched my battery die the more I go along, alone But she said “I’ve found somebody else” Though forced, I’m on my way today… And it burns… So hey, any day I’d still come if you called for me Don’t care the day What we made was built to last forevermore… Hey, I’ve lost the drive to do anything to move along It’s a waste of a day Because the further I go, the more I lose my way But it’s okay Anyway, I pick myself up from the hard rock bottom floor Cause at the end of the day There’s nowhere left to go but up from here, my dear So hey, any day I won’t come if you call for me Don’t care the day The winds of change will blow forevermore…

The Nights of Our Lives 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Tonight we’re going on our way (You’d better believe it) I don’t even have to say Because it’s good to be on that road And I would take you there any day ‘Cause I feel so sweet, so satisfied There’s only one love of my life You can’t see it no, you just feel it It keeps turning ‘round and ‘round now You can’t see it no, you just feel it These are the treasured nights of our lives The pulse of the people I cannot get enough So have yourselves a real good time These are the treasured nights of our lives Tonight we’re going on our way (You’d better believe it) I don’t even have to say Because you’ve already been that way And wish you could have stayed longer There are no little rules to follow It won’t be a bitter pill to swallow We take the reins under full moonlight We live to create the times of our lives

My World 03:40
lyrics
buy track
In my world there is no war You can pick peace off of a tree You can run away from all your troubles ‘Cause there are no troubles that I can see And the rain clouds come around Only when you wanna get wet Blue skies shine all the time And your scariest fears don’t follow you So this will be the place Where it seems like everything’s okay Even if you live on the outside You’ll always be in my heart In my world there is no one “But doesn’t it get lonely”, you’ve been asking And people wonder if I’ve got a phone? A couple calls a day but there’s still time for everyone I’m here to stay ‘Cause who’d leave a place where you can just Take a running start and just fly away? So this will be the place Where it seems like everything’s okay Even if you live on the outside You’re welcome to be in my world Vacations everyday And outer space is the best place to play Even if you live on the outside You’ll always be in my heart

The Season to Be Lonely 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I’m not who I used to be Now, can you see me? Heyo, hello, good day and goodbye Break this down for me What would you call this descent? ‘Cause there’s no hope for me I wanna know what you meant So even though I hate the world, never surrender Break the world ‘till it’s gone I hate the world, everything’s hopeless These words will be my goodbye... My thoughts and dreams of long ago Were bitten by the undertow, how horrid… This is an open season to be lonely Stay back, on track, be strong and attack So break this down for me, so I’ll know how to prevent My hopes from leaving me, my motive to reinvent There’s still a ways to go, how much? We’ll never know No matter how long, I will remain Keep reaching to the sky, through fictitious lullabies Never give in, never give up Fight for better lives Come join the fight, come join and take a number Make better lives, ‘cause all our days are numbered So even though I hate the world, never surrender Save the world ‘till it’s ours Embrace the world, nobody’s perfect Life’s too short for goodbyes

Deep Space 04:02
lyrics

This might sound crazy, but when you’re around I lose all feeling in my bones My heart is singing, yours won’t make a sound While you reassured, I should have known This isn’t just a one-way-ticket, no No, I know Baby I can see, a gift to you from me Come on baby please We love each other verily First step is to love yourself Can’t give out what you can’t understand Next step is to love yourself Can’t give out what you’re just not seeing Don’t even worry girl, I’ll be around My heart is yours until I’m gone Though it’s still singing, yours still makes no sound Is this real, or are you just playing along? This isn’t just a one-way-ticket, no No, I know Baby can’t you see, a gift to you from me? Come on baby please We love each other It’s seeming like a one-way-ticket And I know, but baby can’t you see? A gift to you from me? From when we loved each other verily First step is to love yourself Can’t give out what you can’t understand Last step is to love yourself I’m all I’ve got now, I’m all that’s left This was the worst thing I have ever felt Hold on to your heart, guard it carefully ‘Cause that heart is yours eternally

Transmission 05:04
lyrics

I'm always away I'm always gone from home When the days get tough But I cannot stay When I hear them coming Earth may be calling, I wish to remain Will I come back here again? Earth may be calling, I wish to remain If I come back here, will I be the same? Stars now are falling, have I lost the way? I may never see this again... (...and as I look back the stars are falling) They light the way I've lost the game I never wanted to be brave I'm coming back Can you hear me singing? They light the way I've lost the game The night was ending anyway I'm coming home Can you hear me singing? It’s over now And I can hear them singing I'm coming down... I'm coming home... Home...

Venus in the Morning Sky 03:10
lyrics

Awake, away in the morning White lights go by And hope escapes without warning With no reason why My mind is shrouded in circles Like summer storms And still, trapped in your pale stare I wish to be there with you… Love’s lost and broken, but still I remain My heart still breaks at the sound of your name If I am chosen to feel this again Just cast me into open space… Real life is not what they told me it was What more can I say? Will you still shine in the morning sky? If we still let you…

about

Ultimately, you're going to outer space to vent your frustrations and delude yourself about life and it's challenges. Complaining, venting, partying all these things are distractions and stages of dealing with the fact that life is hard and perhaps you need to find a better way to cope with that. Shit happens, people hurt you, working sucks, but there is a bigger brighter picture to look at. It's time to come back from the delusion and face reality.
