Orbit

I went home and straight into oblivion
Closed the door and couldn’t move from the floor
Two weeks later I was found
I had become one with the ground

You enter the room to check on me and dust me off
Sort me out, spin me around
But there’s nothing you can say to make it right and make me sit up straight
So you try to mold me into an another shape

But please don’t make me
Please don’t make me

In the dead of night I look my best
Shower and dissolve
There's no more space in my head
I want to disappear and I will

Dream is reality is dreamreality
Now I can’t tell if I’m awake or dreaming
Let me help you understand the contradiction that I am
And spare me your wisdom
I quit trying to fit the system

So please don’t make me
Please don’t make me

I am the smoke you’re breathing in and out
You’re unaware the fire’s just lit and not burnin’ out

In solitude and isolation be mine, my salvation
Aaaaah
Let solitude and isolation be my salvation

If it wasn’t for the moon, the earth would fall out of orbit
And out of all the shocks I've stumbled on you're the hardest one to absorb
It all goes up in flames once you leave

I need to feel free but don’t let me
Please don’t let me

Mind Power

The path of a calf brought to slaughter
Sucked into the vortex of water
To face death
To face death
To face death

It might be better to be guided by the strange
What if the world were to change
With mind power
With mind power
With mind power

I am on my way to meet myself
In the presence of the fake I am a real gift
So what if this is all I contribute to society
The pieces I write, creation pouring out to overcome anxiety
With mind power
With mind power
With mind power

If you knew the things that we could rise above
Transform, unfold the earth you're dreaming of
What a wonderful world
Oh wonderful wonderful world

Le temps se fuit

The day has long dawned when you’re waking up
Your walls illuminated by the summer sun
Memories of him are dancing around you in the dark

Et le temps se fuit
Le temps se fuit

The day has long dawned
Then the current pulls you under
You’re whole world’s been upside down for months
Don’t get out of bed
Don’t leave me behind
Your frame will shift and all your insides twist
And the ringing in your ears slowly grow back

Le temps se fuit

Oh it’s so hard to be your friend
You're always getting out faster than anyone can start a conversation with you

You miss the trees and the sound of moving leaves
Just to linger for a while
How good would it feel just to feel
To feel
To feel
To feel

Le temps se fuit

My Guitar Is Too Loud

Now that I’m free
I’ve got no one and no one’s waiting for me
So why do I feel so heavy
Heavyhearted

I never wanted to do you any harm
Forgive me for I am not acting like I’ve grown
But I can’t do well when you’re gone

We’re walking under the same sun
I can’t think of anything but your hands and the drum

I’m letting my hair grow out again
But you wouldn’t know cause you won’t see me anymore
And soon I’m gonna be thrown out of my apartment
Cause my fucked up neighbour says that my guitar is too loud

I never wanted to do you any harm
Forgive me for I am not acting like I’ve grown
But I can’t do it when you’re gone

I never wanted to do you any harm
Forgive me for I am not acting like I’m grown
But I can’t do well when you’re gone
