I found you out of bounds,
I found you out of bounds, again.
A place you’re not allowed,
Heads up in the clouds, my friend.
Always there,
Always creepin’.
Watching all my thoughts and feelings.
I’m always on, always on my
I’m always on,
(I’m) always on my mind.
It hides behind the shadow,
Of all you claim to be.
You wake up to a nightmare,
(To) your new reality.
I remember you,
I remember you,
I remember you,
I remember you,
I remember.

The Secret

[Verse]
I caught a glimpse round the corner,
The trails is hot, I’m getting warmer.
But can I reach out and grab it,
When I am Alice and the rabbit?
I never know where ya going,
Feels like we’re running in slow motion. Another year keeps on flowing,
Time stands still for no one.
[Chorus]
Look into the crystal,
And pick your prophecy,
(What do you see?)
I’m surrounded by faces but don’t know which ones me.
Show me the secret,
Show me the key,
(Will I ever know?)
How can I find you if I don’t even know me?
[Verse]
Mirror mirror on the wall,
(Who’s the highest?)
Who’s the highest of them all?
‘Cause none of you look like the hero, (Uncanny valley)
Uncanny valley of the ego.
Oooh ooh another minute,
Oooh ooh and I'm out of time.
Oooh ooh but nothing’s given,
Your tale is told by no one.
[Chorus]
Look into the crystal,
And pick your prophecy,
(What do you see?)
I’m surrounded by faces but don’t know which ones me.
Show me the secret,
Show me the key,
(Will I ever know?)
How can I find you if I don’t even know me?

[Verse]
She never had nothing,
Finger on the pulse.
She found her Romeo,
Now she's home alone.
The rooms are empty,
Their bed is gone.
They made love here,
Now there’s none at all
[Bridge]
It all,
Feels right.
Could it be this easy?
It all,
Feels right.
Sink into blinding moonlight.
[Chorus]
It worked
For me.
Sugar sleep
Now I’m sober.
It worked
For me.
Sickly sweet,
Take me under.
[Verse]
He loved her blindly,
Works their 9-5.
Then he comes home early,
And ruins his life.
[Chorus]
She begs and pleads him,
He won’t empathise.
Can’t face that memory,
Or look her in the eyes.
[Bridge]
It all,
Feels right.
Could it be this easy?
It all,
Feels right.
Sink into blinding moonlight.
[Chorus]
It worked
For me.
Sugar sleep
Now I’m sober.
It worked
For me.
Sickly sweet,
Take me under.
It worked
For me.
Sunken dream,
It is over.

Back When I Belong

[Verse]
See,It never cared about us,
It never cared about me.
Weak,
I know you think about me,
The counter-productivity.
Searching for space now,
In my own lane.
All could be native,
If I’m back when I belong.
[Chorus]
There’s distance between us
That’s pushing you away.
(But I’m)
But I’mnot on the run.
I’m looking down below us
At a place in disarray
(Thinking)
Why’s this a burden?
It’s brighter this way.
[Verse]
Tired, from fire,
And undermining.
I know, I gotta be
Surfing with the salt,
Gates are open to the better,
Propelling gliding without trying
I can feel the weather,
Tracks are forming to the dawning
Wandering in pleasure,
This is what I need and want
I can now remember,
(Coz) When they’re quiet, out of mind, no one speaking,
Mirrors fall, elevate I see earth spin,
Colours fly through the sun burst shimmering,
On my way to the stars I make lightning.
And I know,
The feelings,
Completed.
[Chorus]
There’s distance between us
That’s pushing you away
(But I’m)
But I’m not on the run.
I’m looking down below us
At a place in disarray
Why’s this a burden?
It’s brighter this way.
There’s distance between us
But take a look you’ll find
(But I’m)
I’m not on the run.
I’m looking down below us
At a place in disarray
Why’s this a burden?
It’s brighter this way.
[Outro]
Searching for space now,
In my own lane.
Looking for new ways
Further, to whenever.
Building my space now,
In my own way.

[Verse]
Moving through the breeze,
Talking to the trees, listen,
Ohh what is that?
No beef n bacon,
Not a chocolate shake,
For heaven’s sake,
Come here boy.
Icing sugar please,
He’s leading me with ease,
But my boy’s so coy.
Hey I know your cousin,
Looks like you're up to somethin'
Guess I’ll be going,
I guess I ‘ll be going then.
[Chorus]
Oh you wanna run?
Well catch me if you can.
Find a different life,
And I’ll be waiting there,
(See you another time).

[Verse]
Repeat,
Not clear,
Building scaffold seems so near.
But I listened,
To my sooth,
So I would not end up here.
Nullify my concern,
Twist it out, stop it from return.
Libel laughing,
Sabotaging,
Playwrights played by their own writing.
[Bridge]
Student of,
Prophecy.
It’s the same,
Tragedy.
[Chorus]
Lies are burning,
Smoke in my veins.
Playing the game,
And living with shame.
Lies are burning,
Smoke in my veins.
Playing the game,
And living with shame.
[Verse]
Walking aside,
Trust and abide,
Into a turning tide,
A field of learning mines.
And what we synthesise,
It could be crystalline,
Broken up in your mind,
Mother it’s in your eyes.
Remember a time from the,
Running of the highs but you,
Forget all the forms of the,
Many rusty minds.
So let us move on now should we,
Sign the dotted line,
I wanna rectify,
What was an empty sky.
[Bridge]
Mother it's in your eyes,
Motherfucker it's in your eyes.
[Chorus]
Lies are burning,
(Kind)
Smoke in my veins,
(Regards)
Playing the game,
(Kind regards)
And living with shame.
Lies are burning,
(Kind)
Smoke in my veins,
(Regards),
Playing the game
(Kind regards)
And living with shame.
