8 Bit Fantasy 02:52
lyrics

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 03:33

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
lyrics

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

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
lyrics

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

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
