Fundamental systems never last
Replaced by something better
Leave the past
The gravity
Of my alterity
Changes like a summer rain at dawn
Waiting 4 the always & it's gone
The gravity
Of my alterity
Walking 4wards leaving what is lost
Talking onwards never has a cost
Except 4 now
2 learn & know how
The gravity
Of my alterity

Transitioning
02:32

Wait right here?
It's not enough
I'll leave the fear
One last time
Transitioning
I'll learn 2 sing
B4 the sun
After the stars
I'll learn 2 run
Away
Transitioning
I'll learn 2 sing
Oooh, the gravy hits
The colors start 2 shine
Oooh, the shade of empty ifs
My heart
Transitioning
I'll learn 2 sing

I'm surrounded by my own mistakes
& I am hounded by better dreams
Fortune favors only what U want
2 many flavors 9 miles out to sea
& it goes around
& it goes around
Too many chapters 2 keep me wide awake
Lost in the factors of a 2nd plot
& now
I chance 2 be
In 2nd scene
I've floundered in 1 place too long
& I've found that I like it here
& it goes around

Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la, la la
& I'm thinking of a place
Far away from here
Like a sidewalk in the summer heat
& I'm longing for the taste
Something new, out of place
A different moment with its own sweet beat
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la, la la
& I've been here too long
In the dark it's so wrong
Spiral down into the endless drain
Now I'm feeling the beat
Of the new summer heat
Licking sunlight off the window panes
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la la, la la

Can't Bring Me Down
02:39
|

|
Won't shine it 4ever
I'm running untethered
Into a different dawn
The end follows me
Not searching 4 home lights
I'm living the bright nites
I'm learning 2 unlearn
Begin just 2 be
Can't bring me down
1 day at a time now
I'm leaving this somehow
& then I will see
The end follows me
The face of the moon shows
The highs that I don't know
The emptiness I felt
Begin just 2 be
& whys
They follow me
Down as I go
Out of this dream
Can't bring me down
Can't bring me down

On Low
02:15

Shady light
Wander off
Wait delight
Aren't U not
On low
Oh, low
Glow beyond
The moon at dark
Running forth
Out the door
Oh, low
On low
Shaken by the words
Shady light
Wander on
Wave delight
Aren't U not
On low
On low
Oh, low

We'll Write A Play
02:41
|

|
Feel the rhythm
Move U on
It's a system
Must be gone
Don't play the game
We'll write a play
U can choose yourself
Be your own
You can move from hell
Make U your home
Don't play the game
We'll write a play
Paint the world bright colors
4 the light
by dancing
Remove the pain
Feel the rhythm
Take U there
Build a system
That will care
Don't play the game
We'll write a play

Butterfly
03:20

Hello god
My name is something new
& what U R
R lies that frame your truth
I'll change the dance
I'm swaying 2 a beat
A second chance
2 shape the shape of me
Like a butterfly
I will learn 2 fly
& I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it all now
& I need it, I need it, I need it, I need 2 get it all somehow
Like a butterfly
& I'll learn 2 fly
& I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it all now
& I need it, I need it, I need it, I need 2 get it all somehow
Like a butterfly

Won't Align
02:16
|
|||
|
2 face the stars
2 be unturned
2 see the cars
Race as they burned
Align
I won't align
2 lights above
Beneath the wave
2 nites ago
With each a rave
& no I turn away
alone
2 reach the point
Of going back
Align
I won't align

Never Stay
02:35
|
|||
|
Bright lights
& there we go
We gotta move it fast
We gotta take it slow
Shadows like a sin descend
We gotta break this world apart
Way past the need 2 know
We gotta play the beat
We gotta be the show
On & over like an odyssey
In the end we go 2 far, away
Can't stay
Share the light
We gotta feel the moon
& take it past the now
Into the golden room
Hear the calling 4 another dream
We gotta break this room apart
Out & under
In the empty nite
We gotta run the course
Into the waiting light
Not a mirror in the wilderness
We gotta break this light apart, our way
Never stay
Oh, this calm
Takes me over
Now
Like a vision of a fantasy
Into the heart of dark
Within the mystery
Nothing ever seems 2 move along
Until we take the heart apart
Only ever see the dawning light
Within the shadows dance
Across the weary nite
All we want is 2 be all alone
So we can break it all apart, our way
Can't stay
Never stay

Transfiguration
03:08
|
|||
|
Right now
This howl
This need
So stark
Oh, I feel this anticipation
& I'll heal in transfiguration
2 be
This me
I will
Not 2nd guess
Oh, I feel this anticipation
& I'll heal in transfiguration
I don't want a purpose
Don't need a meaning
Wanna dance in the chaos
Of being me
I don't want a purpose
Don't need a meaning
Wanna dance in the rain all nite
Oh, I feel this anticipation
& I'll heal in transfiguration
All nite
All day
All nite

Moving On
02:23
|
|||
|
Don't walk
On the side of the fearanny
A shadow crawling from the past that rings
So false
& don't talk
About the way that U should live this life
Just do what U do & avoid the light
U fear
Cos we're moving on
Moving on
Change up
Learn the see the world through other's eyes
Drop the panic built by grifters lies
2 U
Step out
& see the world is so much better now
The colors chase away the cold & doubt
That has U
& we're moving on
Moving on
