on my way

I've got molecules
They're changing all the time
Trading places with the universe inside
Another you, another me
It's all the same
Over dirt, under stars, on my way
Spent the majority of my time
Living in a silo
Take your waves and make 'em mine
Something I can follow
I float along like you
I am on my way
Over dirt, under stars, on my way

in that light
02:55
|

|
Lost in bright worlds
Fighting Shredder and Krang
In the grass
Riding my ADD forces
Sources I can't catch
Oh what it used to be
In that light
Oh what it meant to be free
Now I'm desensitized
Today
It's dangerous down beneath
The Kwik Shop where we crawled in the sewer
When I think about it now
I get shivers down my spine
What were we doing?
We could've died
Oh what it used to be
In that light
Oh what it meant to be free
Now I'm desensitized
Today

horizon
01:58

Walking alongside the Interstate
I waffle on down the exit ramp
Walking in a daze
I will follow the heartbreak and silence
To the sun
Like us all, I will
Follow the silence to the sun
I wander all the way down
I'm in my own way
I stumble on, I look to my left
Look to my right
I don't know what to think or say
I want to run to the
I always run
To the horizon
And as soon as I get there
There's another horizon
I don't know know how any of this works
I don't know my geography
It has to come to me

tryin'
02:19
|
|||
|
On a ray from the sun
My growth chart is climbing
Keeping focus on the rope
Up the side of the mountain
I'm tryin'
And this is me tryin'
I lost touch of where I began
And now I don't know just where to begin
Who am I to say anything?
Who am I to think I know?
Under the ocean there remains
A quiet little town
Somebody said this is a place
Where everything's alright

personal dimension
01:12
|

|
Through the glass
I found it
Light is running out of time
We are what we all think
We are what we let in
In a personal dimension
I can't see from where you sit
I can try but I only have what I
Bring to it
And your life is running out of time
Before we leave with what we came with
Waves are what they sound like
Hope you like the sound of it

quiet bluff
02:23
|
|||
|
High under moonlight
Push off the morning yet to come
Blind to the circumstance
I have found myself unbegun
Faint twilight
All we have until the morning
Settling for only what's to come
Only what we can anticipate
The pencil on the drywal
It indicates it's temporary
Present tense is all that we have
Faint twilight
All we have until the morning

salt mine
02:15
|
|||
|
Concern at the crosswalk
Feeling my size
Peripheral vision has just
Saved my life
Survival instincts
Grew up like vines
Tangled up in secrets
I try to hide
I'm like a salt mine
When you turn the light on
I scurry like a roach
When you turn the light on
I scurry, I scatter like a roach

colours & vibrations
02:52
|
|||
|
I don't want to climb off
The color and vibrations in the air
When the black lights are on
Can I separate myself from the stains
I don't want to sign off
Without looking inward one last time
Maybe I'll catch a glimpse of something transcendant
Making plans with the stars
We come from nothing
Found my true calling
In the basement of light night memories
I don't want to climb out
This identity I'm assigned
They say your mind creates reality
And half the time
I'm living in the past
Got ash in my eyes
From wildfires states away
That bird is calling
From the basement of late night memories
I don't want to climb off
