8 Bit Fantasy
02:52
|
|||
when you're out in a zone
getting lost from the pain of reality
faulty visions of home
this system makes new reality
when you're out on your own
and your life isn't what it needs to be
system make me free
just push the cartridge in
can't take this growing up alone
just push the cartridge in
and your life is an 8-bit fantasy
when you're out on the road
city lights are the stars you need to see
keep your eyes on the dome
this code can find you another key
when you're out on your own
and your life isn't what it needs to be
system set me free
just the push cartridge in
can't take this pressure on my own
just push the cartridge in
and your life is an 8-bit fantasy
a calm, a waste, to fight decay
the time away
push start then "A"
I'm dying to stay in this machine
just push the cartridge in
can't take this pressure on my own
just push the cartridge in
and your life is an 8-bit fantasy

1988 Forever

Move through the streets
Somewhere to go
Stop when you hear that sound
And see that neon glow
Quarters away
Give me the lights and arcade
We're gonna play like they did in the 80's
This neon future isn't past
This neon future is our last call
Before the bombs will start to fall
I'll hold you in this midnight
Please don't forget this feeling
It's 1988 Forever
Stripped from the bones
It's only skin
And when you see your wires
Well that's where life begins
Cut it away
Give me the lights and a stage
We're gonna dance like they did in the 80's
This neon future isn't past
This neon future is our last call
Before the bombs will start to fall
I'll hold you in this midnight
Please don't forget this feeling
It's 1988 Forever
Come
Plug in
The retrowave begins
Cut it away
Give me the lights and a stage
We're gonna dance like they did in the 80's
This neon future isn't past
This neon future is our last call
Before the bombs will start to fall
I'll hold you in this midnight
Please don't forget this feeling
It's 1988 Forever

Run and Hide
03:54

She fought through pain and loss
She fought through fear
She ran towards the nightmare
Thinking her ending could be near
Am I still dreaming
Alarms ring out to wake
I brought this with me
Can't leave this up to fate
No running away from him
No hiding
Can't hide from him
If you can make it through this night
You can wake up to be alive
No running away from him
A child terrified tape glow in eyes
I would give almost anything
Just to feel that alive
Did you see it
The shadow's moving near
Are you still laughing
Can we forever stay in this year
No running away from this
No hiding
Can't hide from this
If you can make it through this life
You can wake up to be alive
No running away from time
To escape the nightmare's
A child's calling out
Can you find the grace to grow up
Calling out
I wasn't ready to move on
I wasn't ready to lose so much
Can you hear this child calling
Still calling out
No running away from this
No hiding
Don't hide from this
If you can make it through this life
You can wake up to be alive
No running away from time
Can you hear this child calling
Still calling out

Okay To See Me
03:31

The lights that call out from the depths
Caress me like don't forget
They move up on me like a dream
And give me things I've never seen before
And I'll sit
Grateful
As they open me up
I can feel it come to pass
Take these feelings from my ugly past
It rips these feelings from my chest
Then dance along like silhouettes
And from the light you give me
I wonder
I unplug from the bad machine
It's like I never ever saw it
Those were scenes I lived before
That no longer bring me down
I can feel it come to pass
Take these feelings from my ugly past
It rips these feelings from my chest
Then dance along like silhouettes
And from the light you give me
I wonder

My Arcade Heart
03:33
|

So tell me did I waste my time
Standing there by the water
Explaining to my reflection
That I don't ever want to let this go
I know that I'll grow up
My body will start to betray to me
And like my grandma left
I'll stare and watch them leave
While screaming "please, don't go
Time
I'll I wish I had was time
The time to reveal
The time now to heal
The time to go back to
When I was home
Blind
I'm staring through those blinds
Trying to think back to when
I could see it
And I could believe in that magic
When I push start
May it play that feeling back in my heart
Much like a broken swing on a halloween
Before the dying starts
Time
I'll I wish I had was time
The time to reveal
The time now to heal
The time to go back to
When I was home
When I push start
May it play that feeling back in my heart
My arcade heart

Leave This Earth

You got a last call
This is your ticket from the earth
We gotta blast off
Before these things get worse
You got a last call
This is your ticket from the earth
We gotta blast off
Before these things get worse
To make this all okay
Will you walk me home tonight
The neon lights the path
All the problems leave the night
And it's a miracle
You grab my hand into the future
Would you take away my pain
Would you give to me your pride
The wind it whispers "go"
Should we fly into the sky
I got no problems
That are big enough to stay here
You got a last call
This is your ticket from the earth
We gotta blast off
Before these things get worse
You got a last call
This is your ticket from the earth
We gotta blast off
Before these things get worse
To make this all okay
Will you walk me home tonight
Do we try to make this last
All the problems leave the night
And it's a miracle
You kiss my mouth into the future
Would you take away my pain
Would you give to me your life
The wind is pushing "go"
We should fly into the night
I got no problems
That are big enough to stay here

Where Wires Fail to Meet
03:46
|

A noise comes from the hallway
And I have so many questions
Hello
I'm not receiving air to my lungs
Are you there
I've not been getting any sleep
If confidence is confidently saying you're alive
Then I'm not confident
If caught between the walls so clean
You're screaming that you're dirty
Would you wash the blood
Or lick it from the knife
Oh no
I'm not dreaming
It's real
Hello I think it's much too late
To eat the lamb left on the plate
The wolf has started flossing with its bones
And someone's on the telephone
I think he says this is his home
And I am slowly sinking
If confidence is confidently saying you're alive
Then I'm not confident
If caught between the walls so clean
You're screaming that you're dirty
Would you wash the blood
Or lick it from the knife
I think I blew a fuse
I think this isn't news
Why do clock hands bruise
Are you confused
So long
If confidence is confidently saying you're alive
Then I'm not
So long
I think I blew a fuse
I think this isn't news
Why do clock hands bruise
Are you confused
So long

There's a little voice inside my head
That brings me down
Tells me I'm not good enough
It tries to make me drown
In my sorrows
In a bottle
In the places underground
There's a little voice inside my head
That brings me down
But don't give up
And don't give in
You're beautiful
All dressed in sin
Just let the judges fold their hands
And oh you beautiful creature
With all of your features
You make me want to move again
And all of the things that
Make you so you that
They want to hate it
You're beautiful
Just let the judges fold their hands
There's a little voice inside my head
That lifts me up
Tells me I am brave and strong
And I am good enough
They're so shallow
They're so plain
They're like zombies in a row
And I don't care where they are going
Cuz it's where I'll never go
Just let them go
And oh you beautiful creature
With all of your features
You make me want to move again
And all of the things that
Make you so you that
They want to hate it
You're beautiful
Just let the judges fold their hands

You've got so far to go
If you want to convince me
That you are worth it
Don't drop the ball
If you want to come to me
It's common sense now
You'll calm down
Become quiet
At least pretend that
You'll shut your mouth again
Your lips move
I won't listen
You're not the family that I have known
I hear you make a sound
Don't come around
The second that I make it out of here
I see you make the rounds
You ask around
But I don't have a single crumb for you
You've got so far to climb
If you want to see this from my level
Higher
You should never call
If you want to come to me
It's common sense now
You'll calm down
Become quiet
At least pretend that you'll
Leave this town again
Your lips move
I won't listen
You're not a person that I could respect
I hear you make a sound
Don't come around
The second that I make it out of here
I see you make the rounds
You ask around
But I don't have a single word for you
Oh you
You forgotten all the world that's true
And I
So high
I wouldn't leave the clouds to hide the blue
Gone

As We Watch the Ending
03:19

Hey
Where you going
I wasn't finished with that face today
Hey
World is over
You're naked on the floor in front of me
But it's not a gift
And it's not a curse
Well that's just who I am today
Don't have the mind to really move
So I'll feel the space inside the moon
And fade away
Sleep
There's no pressure
There's no weakness
There is only us
There is only love
Great bombs exploding
As we watch ending
We're okay
Hey
World is broken
You're naked on the floor in front of me
There's no pressure
There's no weakness
There is only us
There is only love
