Stay 04:32
Feet they shuffle through the sand below 
Land of earth taken from what it knows 
Finish the thoughts of mine and yours
 Bring it right back to a simple form 

A cold amber waiting for the wind 
A fire of love that can blow you away
 Cash balance low and spirits high 
All in your mind sweet fragile mind

 You stay a star in the darkness
 Cant find a way through the city of lights
 By the time when the day breaks
 It all comes back to life 

Sun beats down kisses the ground
 Fly your mind to where your heart desires 
A subtle change with all it’s eloquent friends 
Walkin the straight line when will it end 

Fire in your head is there to stay
 Water washes all your yesterdays 
The time you spend with questions why 
All in your mind sweet fragile mind You stay a star in the darkness
 Cant find a way through the city of lights
 By the time when the day breaks
 It all comes back to life Traditional Aboriginal Language Spoken Word Performed by Gnarnayarrahe Waitairie We dreamt of our freedom We danced to creation Fire in our minds Will burn through the sands of time You stay a star in the darkness
 Cant find a way through the city of lights
 By the time when the day breaks
 It all comes back to life You Stay You Stay

Karma down another day of nothing here for me Wish it all away for something that I'll never ever get to be This emptiness in all of it's dark insane This nothingness I know it's well past pain Little demon in my head he tells another lie And sends me crashin on down just to fall and die When will I find my soul it's gonna take a long time Pullin all my weight in gold And why must I fly so high and then I go so low Diggin my grave so slow and then I find Mania my signature behaviour Euphoria my all-time favourite flavour I'll elevate me and I'll elevate you With desire on my side bitch dont you ever underestimate me and the shit that I'll do Mr Grand unstoppable chosen one to topple you Delusions catatonia the whole world I'm gonna own ya I dont need no pills I dont need cocaine I got the devil and his friend Jesus Christ in my brain When will I find my soul it's gonna take a long time Pullin all my weight in gold And why must I fly so high and then I go so low Diggin my grave so slow Sorry I’m not your slave no more Not gonna be your bitch knockin at your door Forever you’ll be right by my side And I’ll carry the scars of your truths and lies When will I find my soul it's gonna take a long time Pullin all my weight in gold And why must I fly so high and then I go so low Diggin my grave so slow Karma karma shine your light on me So So high so low Shine Karma shine your light on me Shine it down Shine it down

Acidica 04:14
Time to change What I think Send those demons back to sleep So much pain In the past Reconstruct I'm built to last Why do I hold on When I know it's over Time to move, move on I've been here so long Now is all we have And I know who that someone is I'm meant to be When it seems that all is lost We'll find a way through this black day No matter what we have to give Never lose the will to live Guiding light shine on Burn on through the night The fire inside it has begun It brings us together to become To become one To become one Where do you want to be What do you want to see Why don't you set yourself free Who do you want to be Liars from hell I will conquer This is my quest, I'm the hunter I have never felt stronger No longer lost, in this wonder I Let Go Let Go And just flow Now is all we have Believe and you shall pass Move on act fast Cause you've been here too long Why hold on when there's nothing you can lose Ten thousand dreams begins with a single step Rise above your misery It's never too late to take action Just motivate yourself and start living your dream Right now

Angel's Sit 04:10
Live for lies live for truth With sleeping giants next to you The only way we'll ever know Is to give sometimes and then let go In dreams we live in dreams we die Our angels sit and watch us cry Remain it will a mystery Where do we go and where will we be Peace inside with which to hold Let it all go as your heart runs cold Givin in is all you do An angry demon split in two You know you wanna run like fire Strivin for a quaint desire You stay higher and higher High Livin is easy Outside of the city Roll your eyes Beyond the hills Where angels sit oh so still You know you wanna run like fire Strivin for a quaint desire You stay higher and higher High

Blood on the highway dirt on your mind A kiss full of promises from a mouthful of lies Runaway trucks with no time to stop Leave another town another bottle to drop Too hard to love too easy to kill Drive on through ride on by Foot to the floor sparkle in my eye Now I gotta leave it's time for me to be Everything I want I gotta set my mind free Never gonna end never gonna end say just what you like cause I got nothing to pretend Stripped of my mind leaving me blind I got everywhere to run and everywhere to hide Look at me like a fool you just cant stand I got everything I want right in the palm of my hand Blood on the highway dirt on your mind A kiss full of promises from a mouthful of lies Runaway trucks with no time to stop Leave another town another bottle to drop I'm gonna run away 300 miles an hour Taste it in my mouth oh so sweet and sour I wont stand one more day with you Drive on by I'm gonna break on through I'm gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride tonight Gonna drive on by drive on by drive on by and write my name in the sky Gonna drive drive on by This road aint goin to heaven this road wont keep me well This road will send me blind and straight to fuckin hell Tear at my soul the only way to go Looks like this is gonna be the only thing I'll ever know I'll crash and I'll burn never fuckin learn I'm just another loose abuser with a hunger for concern The game that I play it's always here to stay I'm just a Frankie motherfucker gonna do it my way false truths that I defy Wether I live Or wether I die

He woke up this morning with a tear in his eye
 He’s on the frontline of the soul’s demise
 Signed a contract to be a freedom fighter
 A million miles away from home 

Sleeping with a gun and not his lover 
She sits at home waiting for his call 
They talk about the day that they met
 Shells fire in the background
 Just another day of the same old sounds 

Will it be tomorrow
 When love rules the day
 Will it be tomorrow
 When freedom finds a way 
Will it be tomorrow 

Like desert sand stretches on and on 
Still no solution to the stone age song
 Staring at a face he’s never seen 
Just another part of the war machine 

Show us the way to stop this bloody war 
Too many times we’ve seen it all before 
Devils use angels all over the board 
Tell me why he cant see 
Mr. President when will it be

 Will it be tomorrow
 When love rules the day 
Will it be tomorrow 
When freedom finds a way
 Will it be tomorrow

 No more war we’re going home
 No more war we’re going home
 No more war we’re going home
 No more war we’re going home

There is a man One magic man Who lives far away From slave minds like you and I You and I You and I You and I He sits up in the sky ten thousand miles away from the lies He gazes on, on and on through crystal eyes with heaven his home it's So devine So devine So devine So devine Despair ruling our world with simple minds counting the toll exist in fear, do as they say don't change, change a thing The end is near The end is near The end is near Oh welcome my friends to the end, end of the line it's over now, look what we've done we've nothing left, left to deprive but stars and sun, it has begun, we will become dust from fun that we thought was real, we spend our lives, chase and strive, hopeless minds, all just to, just to survive

Come With Me 04:20
It's 3am and she's finished crying I need somewhere to go Someone to hold coz she hates the silence and always being told It's your fault that it's like this I wont forgive this time So she sits and she thinks What should i do What should I do Show me love locked in your heart of stone I'm gonna leave him alone I call her up while i'm driving I need a place to land Speaking softer than a mouse I listen to her plan To turn away and not look back Heading for a bright new day So if you want out And want to feel free All I need to say So if you want out And want to feel free All I need to say Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Your not the only one who understands That your a lonely one who needs a place to land I'm not the only one to make a stand Your not the lonely one so come and take my hand You are the only one not a grain of sand Your such a lovely one come and take my hand You are the only one who understands Your such a lovely one come and take my hand Her eyes are dry and she's feeling high Surfs a ride into the sky With no regrets And no goodbyes And now never alone So come with me

Skygazer 03:23
Step foot in the street join the world today Clouds in the sky make dreams in your mind You tell them you wont wont get a routine Livin your life for more than they see You won't be beat and won't wont admit defeat Fuck society gonna do what I please You made up your mind and you know this time Gotta fix your eyes on the Skygazer Dreamchaser Watch him fly while the other man he cries Mr nine-to-five you gotta keep em all pleased Sweet definition of insanity You've got your tongue and your beautiful mask You shelved all your dreams for more cash please Will he be beat or admit defeat Blaze his own trail or drag his feet Made up his mind and he knows this time Gotta fix your eyes on the Skygazer Dreamchaser Watch him fly while the other man he cries

Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah Red sandy cigarettes sinking slowly soft cement Shuffle past them glassy eyes of serpent spiral sunset skies White noise daisy chains secret words wash pain away Trust in shadows speaking truth Bring the voice that hides in you You ain't welcome here no more You can't plant your seeds around here Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah Salt the soil where footprints wonder Walk to water wash old desires Light up the spirit feed a fire Swallow the glow and be a sunrise Silent thunder as the snowball falls Caution stealing stages before curtain calls Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah Ha la li elle La loo wah le ah White noise daisy chains don't light my fire or feed my brain I'm a rolling thunder without a stage when the snowballs fallin get outta my way Gonna light it up fire it up take a little sip of desire from my cup Take it to the top I'm comin poppin from the bottom stompin gonna put it to you everybody wants to see you Wash your pain away Wash your pain away Wash your pain away Wash your pain away
