It's a special face. With conviction. / Got to make it great. On a mission. The beginning / New finds. New finds and old dreams. / And everything's starting now. /Adios L.A.. Ornamental. I'm not staying / Each is ours to take. On a mission /The beginning / New finds. New finds and old dreams. / And everything's starting now. / What makes it so great? Destination.

You Don't Turn Down

You were standing arms up in the crowd. / Got to get obsessed and stay there now. / I fell. I fell. / Echoes coming down the hallway, Time is up I heard them say. / Old ideas glowing through the doorway, with the fear creeping in, / And I am losing hope in my body. Losing hope in my body / I was getting kind of lonely. In the mirror was no plan. / We went around the world. I didn't sleep. The fear creeping in. / And I am losing hope in my body, Losing hope in my body. / What took you so long, they said out loud. / Got to get obsessed and stay there now. / I fell.

Free / Listen closely to what's still moving. / The hum that never goes away from me. / Your eyes follow me. / Don't you want to be somebody? /Don't you want to be? Don't you want to be somebody? / They're so deep in me. / Tell the story that you don't love me. / I have nothing to replace my grief. / Your eyes follow me. / Don't you want to be somebody? / Don't you want to be? Don't you want to be somebody? / And you kept on bringing me down

Nothing is Easy

There are no coincidences. No one has ever been cooled / Into the impossible. Hey you're gonna need a sledgehammer / To walk in my shoes, when nothing is easy / It's a pretty big mystery. / Better let her marnia / Helter skelter marnia / Hanging out in space, no weight / no substance animating your life / Give the game away, Memories getting paler in the moonlight / -Repeat- / Hanging out in space, no weight / no substance animating your life / Give the game away, Memories getting paler in the moonlight / Nothing is easy

Immortals
02:54

|
I'll come and find you / All the gods hang around where you are / Open mouths beg for them, how bizarre. / Oh the strange, it launched a thousand realms of wings / And what's dangerous, it turned to other things. / Forever. Forever. / Immortals don't die / I'll come and find you / All my hero's bold ideas, well they have gone. / Broken up and split into a thousand songs. / Their shapes could make it clearest who I'd want to be / And the dangerous, it turned to other things. / Immortals don't die. / Only I could save her.

The Chronicles of Marnia

Bittersweet you've got to go. Got to get my handle on / All the things that make them fall. Like a ton of dominos. / Bitter like the animals, crawling through the winter snow. / I Would think they'd follow you, through the bravest metaphor / Don't you think they'd follow through? Braving through the winter snow. / All before the fight was born. Oh before connected songs. / Someone in your province said, I was meant to be alone. / Would that change your image then? Hologram to metal form. / There's a place that we'll go to when we are older. / There's just one man for me. I can see the goal. / I'm working so damn hard I miss you lover. / I hope you're proud of me / Bittersweet you've got to go. Got to get my handle on / Bitter like the animals, crawling through the winter snow. / Don't you think they'd follow through? Braving through the endless snow. / All before the fight was born. Oh before connecting songs. / Someone in your province said, I was meant to be alone. / Would that change your image then? Hologram to metal form./ There's a place that we'll go to when we are older. / There's just one man for me. I can see the goal. / I'm working so damn hard I miss you lover. / I hope you're proud of me / So don't let me leave now. Dont let me go

Nothing ever looked. So damn good / When I saw it through, New York stayed true / Nothing ever looked. So damn good. / And the wind came. And the wind came. / Close your eyes. / Nobody knows when it's gonna be. Nobody knows when it's gonna be. / Close your eyes. / No one ever really understands anybody else's life

Quick and silver paintings. / Everyone is faking. / And the gold rush comes undone / Send me to the ancients. / Where they really changed it. / The plan was to do this forever. Can I still? / Too much hesitation. / Just go out and make it. / Can instinct come and go? / Too much incubation / Everyone is changing. / I dont know why / I can barely hear / saved something for you / Quick and silver paintings. / Everyone is faking. / Can instinct come and go? / I dont know why / I can barely hear / Wonder where I was when I went in the car last night.

Proof of Life
03:42
|
|||
|
All my life is based on fantasy. / And all the gods, they've stopped talking to me. / And I cannot find it. / Give me a sign. / I am nothing. I am no one. / I am running out of energy. / I'm searching but there's so much I can't see. / Give me a sign. / I am nothing. I am no one. / The work is never done. And that is and that is all I have. / And I can't get it right. / All my life, it's based on fantasy. / And all the gods, they've stopped talking to me. /And I cannot find it. / Give me a sign. / I am something. I am someone.

When you mean the most a lot/ And you see you've got a lot / Down and deep I'll never stop. / Won't give this thing. Won't give it up. / C'mon / I've got time, In my hands / I've got time. / All I've got is time / When the missing doesn't stop / Loneliness will cut you up. / Down and deep I'll never stop. / Won't give this thing. Won't give it up. / I've got time in my hands / All I've got is time.
