Where do we go fallen by the side The sea inside Fastened to the rock How can we know We’ve fallen off the edge The Universe The Universe OOOOOOOOh Reach Out but we can’t touch the stars Oooh Ooh Over the hill, Over the hill Still as a rock, I’m not going anywhere Still as a rock, Over the hill I’m not going anywhere Still as a rock The Universe The Universe

I was seeing colours from the wild side Oh by the sun I wade Watching television for my lifeline Operas of the soap to wash away God speed Why so to seize the savior hear my pleas I was always hunting on the sidelines Looking for emotion and change I was always willing be slavery For broken men abused me to cut their chord, they used me God speed why so heart bleed If the saviour can see The slowest suicide in history Gained solace from the secrets of shame in pillow cases I they said was swapped just after birthing to carry out the days in soft foundation stains in soft foundation stains God speed why so the wait the saviour never came And from the light comes blankets of seeds For future cover and hearts that bleed Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal God Speed why so to seize The Saviour hear my pleas credits

Go 04:50
Oh my mind, been hanging on the waves of past and history's just a memory in someone's mind. I remember you, oh, we paved the way. We gave the world our love. We whispered lines of gold though walls of water with our fire. Gold. Go. Stand up and Walk. I measured myself by how much the world loved me so there's always somewhere to fall. Well I remember you. I remember you. I remember you. I remember it all.

We see you are failing us We begin to understand You’ve gone down down the rabbit hole All you numbers don’t add up Tipping point and feedback loops Secrets how the toxic air pollutes And the world it is waking up And the change it is coming too Whether you like it or nat See the world is waking up This is where we draw the line How dare you look up at the sky Future eyes are all on you How dare you just look away Future hearts remember your name And you know we will not forgive And you know we remember you Future hearts showing you the truth Economic fairytales We will not pay off your bail Future lives remember your name With this you will not get away Future hearts living with your name With this you will not get away

Raging Fire 05:20
Tried to control every raging fire I could control every man in my empire Moving the mountains was easy next to you I'm holding on for the light to come through This is your life This is it all This is your shame you can take it and fall This is a breeze, this is a mire this is your chance for holding the fire or rise Tried to control every raging fire Only the strong see the truth in the liar I can be strong when you love me as weak I can be strong when you stand next tome This is your life This is it all This is your shame you can take it and fall This is a breeze, this is a mire this is your chance for holding the fire or rise I see a fire fighter I see a line divided I see a blind eye I see the fear in you I see the morning light become the hunger strike I see the walls tumble I see the hate in you I see the ball roll I see you lose control I see you never had it I see the love in you I see a long life I see a hunger, strife I see the glory too I see me in you I see a better life Rise I see a better life

I combat for solidarity Junkies need a place to fix No submission to vulgarity and Love is always hit or miss Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico Get to where the sun oh it burns Down down down down dog Yes defender of society Need a language I can speak Moved by motions of sobriety to find more than where ends just meet Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico Get to where the sun oh it burns Down down down down dog I combat for space and just some time more than survival so we can find that thing inside that gives us hope to feel alive Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico Get to where the sun oh it burns Down down down down dog

We run in circles around ourselves for years, we do. I waited my whole life for someone to come, to carry me through. Nobody's gonna come to save Let's Unfuck the world, set allight, unfurl. The nature of humans, the give and take, the fear of lack. Everything's crucial at this stage, it's time, give back. Nobody's gonna come to save Let's Unfuck the world, set allight, unfurl. Oh let's navigate to a brighter place. Let's Unfuck the world, set allight, unfurl. Let's Unfuck the worldLet's Unfuck the worldLet's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the worldLet's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the worldLet's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the worldLet's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the world Let's Unfuck the world

The World 04:26
I'm for the world, the fight is over.. and Yes, the world is ours forever. This boat has been sinking but sail now. This boat has been sailing so long. Somehow finding it's working. I'm seeing seeing so clearly I'm feeling somehow it's all making sense. Yes I'm feeling everything understood, nothing left underneath the rug, yes we've got everything that we need. Ring out the bell, light up the firework. Where once I fell, I now get up. This train has been slowing the rhythm. This train has been slowing down. Somehow finding it's working. I'm seeing seeing so clearly I'm feeling somehow it's all making sense. Yes I'm feeling everything understood, nothing left underneath the rug, yes we've got everything that we need.
