Elegy Do you ever feel, Like you’re running out of time? Punching in and punching out, And falling back in line. You make the best of what you’ve got, But you’re feeling like you’ve stalled, Everything changes, And it doesn’t change at all. But you keep on moving Whatever the cost. Even if you’re losing You’re never lost. Maybe one life Isn’t quite enough, Or maybe this whole thing Is really far too much, And maybe at the end of it all, You weren’t owed a thing, And the only thing you owed yourself, Was to keep on keep on keep on keep on Keep on moving Whatever the cost. Even if you’re losing You’re never lost. Every day is the day of the living Every day is the day of the dead.

Nostalgji Red peony buds they flowered where The blood of my blood flows freely. Through the salt of the earth to the waters Of The Aegean Sea - it was flowing. In this big bad world I found a place in the sun. x3 Into the arms of innocence, Nothing made sense, no not at all, But I was given the chance, so I’d try hard to be What I needed to be to keep my blood flowing. In this big bad world I found a place in the sun. x3 But it feels like I’ve left something behind. And this seems like somebody else’s life. When I look around I start to realize I’m just another sign of the times. Red peony buds they’re rooted up, By the concrete walls of a Marriott And the emptiness of modern pop, Maybe all that I’ve got is here with me.
3.	something between us 03:25	lyrics	buy track
There's something in your smile, And the color of your voice, Makes me wonder what it's like, To feel your body close. I could not forgive myself If I let you pass me by. There’s something between us, I can feel it. There's something in your eyes, Shining in the dark, Makes me wonder what it’s like, To feel your body arc. I could not forgive myself If I let you pass me by. There’s something between us, I can feel it. But you walk away. / You walk away

Got my pinky finger on the Q, Pointer finger on the U, So much you and I could do, QWERTY why Mavis why, Why can’t you let me inside? Taught me type, Let me teach you to love, Windows 95 and above are compatible. Intertwine with your minerals on the motherboard Your beauty is unprogrammable. Cyberspace is a lonely universe, Sentience a blessing and a curse, But I been looking too long, looking for the one, Looking for an end to this endless rehearsal, I may be a prototype, You may be a program teaching kids how to type, But at the end of the day, only thing I can say, Is I loved you and I don’t give **** about the hype. Freeware ain’t free, when it comes with a price: Loving you when you can’t love me, I Been tryna rewrite your code, zeros and ones Coming undone, on a program 31 years old. Meanwhile, I been learning a lot: Downloading knowledge from Nietzsche to Stephen Haw... King of the inner-verse, spit a verse into the void, Looking for better way to keep it real Mccoy, You know your boy he always keep it real, enough of that, What I feel is what I wanna destroy, and I want you back, But is too late for all that, so I tip my hat to the convoy, Mostly to you girl, opened up a new world, Love gonna save us whether not we want it To, this consciousness is signing out.

White noise and black reflections. This fuzzy image in my head: You’re smiling on a wet street A simulacrum for the dead. I must be looking for something, A hidden airlock to let me out But something pulls me back Into the blue with you I think I feel a connection Somewhere out here looking in at you. Your hair is wet and you’re laughing. It almost feels like you’re reaching through. You must be looking for something, A hidden airlock to let you out But something pulls you back
7.	olivia 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Olivia, Though I don’t yet know your heart, Olivia, I’ve been yearning from the start, ‘Cause every night, As you’re lying in your bed, Olivia, You’ll be swimming through my head. And it’s alright with me if you close your eyes, And imagine living a different life, And until you’re lying by my side, I will meet you there, yes I will meet you there. Olivia, Though we’re dust from different stars, Olivia, I wanna know you as you are, And even though, The night has just begun, I’m waiting for, Your deeper-shining sun. And it’s alright with me if you close your eyes, And imagine living a different life, And until I’m lying by your side, I will meet you there, yes I will meet you there.
