There was a passage to the stars
A secret path we could call ours
Locked far away within a dream
The path no longer can be seen
And as I'm staring down the sun
Staring down the barrel of my gun
I'll cross the ocean to the blue
Go somewhere far away with you
Cross the stars and reach the moon
Got to see you
Cross the ocean blue
Got to reach you
Got to be with you
The passage to the stars
Is there for us to roam
You can wander in the dark
But don't wander on your own
Shadowed by the past
Don't leave me all alone
Playing
Oh the wind's so high today
Saying things
We should have said before
Cast your mind with mine
Into a dream
Float with me in my solid state
And free me
Looking into each other's seashell eyes
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The sun shall depart
As in sets the dark
I saw our reflections
Dance in the stars
As ink stained the sky
As day turned to night
I'm passing each moment
Lost in your eyes
Another time, another place
Where time will be ours
Another mind, behind your face
Your dreams fill the stars
Indigo rain
Washed over the town
Darkens my window
Falls to the ground
Don't be afraid
The madness shall fade
And I'll be beside you
To bring you the day
Another time, another place
We were meant to be
Another mind, behind your face
Our love is so real

Lullaby
03:33
|

Lullaby
Close my eyes
Lullaby
When they're open
There's nothing to see
But when they're closed
I'm safe in my dreams
Lullaby
Touch the skies
Lullaby
On the earth
I'm a clown to the crowd
What will you do
When your clown's on a cloud
Who will you screw
When your clown's underground
Lullaby
Make me fly
Lullaby

Crustacean Bay
02:20
|
|||
Water sweeps the sandy beaches
Of Crustacean Bay
The lobster's growing stronger
Growing larger by the day
One day he'll be big enough
To rule Crustacean Bay
The ruler of the ocean bed
A king to all who come his way
A deity strong and wise
The stars that fill his eyes
With bluest skies
Scurrying and claws wide open
On Crustacean Bay
Building up his appetite
And searching for his prey
One day he'll be strong enough
To rule Crustacean Bay
The governor of dreams we had
And dreams that yet shall come our way
A deity to the sea
Of blue and deeper green
The ruler of the deep

Twin Suns
03:30
|
|||
I carved your name into the wall
Cause it's not the same without you here at all
And smashed my head against the door
Lying in the darkness with my pistol drawn
I watch the shadows dance and ball
Throwing reflections in an empty hall
And now I long for just one more
For one more signal or for you to call
I can't be blamed for my reactions
To whatever happens
I'll be here tomorrow
Hoping to kill my sorrows
I'm not the same as last December
As far as I remember
Will you be here to mend me
From self destructive memories
I cut your name into my arm
(Cut your name into my arm)
I know that you could never do me harm
I burn myself just like a star
(Burn myself just like a star)
Forever burning till I lose the path
A black hole shall eat my heart
(Black hole shall eat my heart)
Lost in orbit round a place so dark
And now I long to wander far
(Now I long to wander far)
I hope you and I will become twin suns
I left a message in a bottle
In a sea of sorrows
Hoping it will reach you
How I truly need you
I'm not the same as last April
As far as I am able
Will you be here to keep me
From self destructive feelings
I cut your name into my heart
I knew I loved you from the start

The Martian
01:45
|
|||
I'm the Martian and I hail from Mars
If found return me to the stars
For I'm an extra terrestrial being
Sent to Earth by the alien queen
There's alot to be said about oceans
There's alot to be said about trees
There's alot to be said about wildlife
But there's more to be said about me
A small step for an alien man
A giant leap for our alien clan
The first Martian to play the guitar
The very first Martian rockstar
There's alot to be said about arpeggios
There's alot to be said about chords
There's alot to be said about solos
To the cosmos, we shall be absorbed

Not Alone
03:23
|
|||
Lost in skies of ebony
Driving somewhere heavenly
Eyes upon a moonlit road
You're my favourite melody
And you're my only remedy
Let me never feel alone
Take me home
Take me home
All this weight upon my chest
Crushed me heavily
You make it go
I'm not alone
We're so different from the rest
But it's ok with me
Won't you play with me
Spend the day with me
Don't drift away from me
And then hopefully
(And then hopefully)
In your sweetest dreams
(In your sweetest dreams)
Let them never go away
(Let them never go away)
Or be taken by decay
(Or be taken by decay)
Watch the morning come our way
And all the memories of the days
That we'll keep as we grow old
You turned the night into the day
All I need to do is hold
You in my mind
There's a light that shines
(There's a light that shines)
(Light that shines)
From an ebony sky
(From an ebony sky)
There's a light so bright
(There's a light so bright)
I can make it ours tonight
I'm no longer alone
(Across the oceans oh so blue)
(Take me home)
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
(I see the stars shine over you)
(Take me home)
Take me home
Make them go
Take me home

Big Mistake
02:58
|
|||
Roses falling round you
Can't go on without you
Pretty words you sent my way
Hope they never go away
To the darkest ocean
To bury lost emotions
Won't you let them live again
One more mistake could be the end
Nothing's standing in my way
I can take myself away
Where no one goes
Only you can make me stay
You can brighten out the day
Like no one knows
When cold winds blow
They'll bring me snow
Watched the tide was turning
Watched the sky was burning
Now I see my big mistake
Won't you give me one more day
Now I see my big mistake
Won't you walk with me today

What They Say
02:08
|
|||
They say I'll lose you
You say it isn't so
If I could choose to
I'd never let you go
And even when I'm away
I'm with you more every day
They say I'm no one
A shadow to the sun
But I'll be your lantern
If darker days should come
Another fool on the hill
I'm out of time left to kill
But if you'll talk to me still
Give me a sign
An empty heart to be filled
Don't leave me crying/dying
Another day here and gone
In my mind, all alone
So say you'll love me
You know I love you so
The stars above me
They're falling in the snow
And should the stars disappear
I'll keep away all your fears
I'll wipe away all your tears
Say you'll be mine

Bench
02:59
|
|||
Meet me on a bench in the park
Meet me at dark
Let me give you my heart
And looking you deep in your eyes
Take me tonight
Take me tonight
Walk me to the place where you go
When you're feeling low
Somewhere nobody knows
And looking me deep in my eyes
Say it's alright
Know it's alright
You better not let me disappear
Need you to be here
Let me make it so clear
Disappearing ink down the drain
Bringing me rain
Bringing me pain
So meet me on a bench in the park
Meet me at dark
Let me give you my heart
Looking deep in each others' eyes
Say it's alright
Know it's alright

Day 315
09:55
|

Day 315
The door is shut
There are no windows
The door is shut
Exhaling fumes of silver
Condensing on the table top
He stubs out the cigarette
The air rich with Benson & Hedges tobacco
There sits a small box
In the middle of the table
His lifeline
His blood
His existence
He opens the box
And takes out another one
Lighting it he remembers
He remembers why he is here
A truth better forgotten
Day 315
The door is shut
There are no windows
The door is shut
Only a wild west hero
Who played a villain's game
Who wore a vulture's feathers
Who wore a lion's mane
Only a breath from Heaven
Only a step from Hell
He packs his bags for Eden
And casts an evil spell
He remembers a dream
He was once a good person
There was a light in the sky
And a trap door that led underground
He woke up in a dark room
Is this what you want?
Is this your lifeline?
Is this your blood?
Is this your existence?
Day 315?
The ashes lay flat on cold glass
The door is shut
There are no windows
The door is shut
The tall bottle beside the box
Standing like a proud soldier
Beside his noble steed
About to ride to war
Meanwhile the war has begun
The blood has been spilt
Spilt down the man's throat
Quenching his ever growing thirst
His ever growing lust
He takes a swig
Of the poignant but clear Absinthe
As he takes another drag
Of his cigarette
He is thirsty
And there stands
Beside the box in the middle of the table
His blood
His lifeline
His existence
He takes another swig of the bottle
Then he opens the box
And takes out another one
Day 315
The door is shut
There are no windows
The door is shut
Day 315
The door is shut
There are no windows
This is what you want
This is your lifeline
This is your blood
This is your existence
Day 315
The door is shut
There are no windows
The door is shut
