We Come in Peace

Attention passengers, from the great red sands
Arrival imminent, prepare to land
Collect your belongings, secure the pods
As we venture onwards, to the pale blue dot
Look out below
We're coming down
To rest our weary heads
On solid ground
'cause we've been travelling
For so long
Searching for a place
Where we can belong
But it ain't easy
Being green
We mean no harm
We come in peace
A cool breeze
Could knock us down
After nights spent wandering
Lighting up the town
Serotonin harvesting
On an endless search
Just to feel something
But don't you worry
Don't clear the streets
We mean no harm
We come in peace

Goodbye

I see the sun going down on the ocean
As the night closes in on the sky
I see the trees bending over in the wind
But I didn't see you when you walked on by
I hear the birds calling out from the tree tops
As they teach their little babies to fly
I hear the waves rolling in from the ocean
But I didn't hear you when you said goodbye
I see the lines forming on my forehead
As the days and nights keep passing by
I see the good old days as good as gone
And I wish I'd seen you before you'd said goodbye

Song for a Whale
04:37
|
|||
|
I heard that you're moving away
To warmer waters
Migrating up north
For your sons and daughters
I've never been good at
Saying goodbye
So what is this feeling
Welling in my eyes
I hope your having the time
Having the time of your life
I must of just missed you
I had my head in the sand
The fear of water
Keeps me on dry land
So hit me up later
When you're heading back south
You know I'll be waiting
At the river mouth
I hope your having the time
Having the time of your life

...and a Seed
03:46
|
|||
|
She sits beneath a tree
But she'd rather be
In any other world but ours
And in the morning light
She sees the strangest sights
Those things that you and I can't see
And she's got
Flowers in her hair
She throws two fingers up at the world
'cause she don't care
About anything
All she needs to bloom
Is a dream to believe
and a seed
And she thinks about
What it would take to sprout
An idea out of the thin air
And in the dimming light
She paints with colours bright
In the corners of her mind
And she's got
Flowers in her hair
She throws two fingers up at the world
'cause she don't care
About anything
All she needs to bloom
Is a dream to believe
and a seed

Cloud Four Point Five
03:34
|
|||
|
Those hours spent inside your room
Pushing clay to make it move
Carving faces with a knife
Frame by frame to bring to life
Back then I was on cloud nine
But these days I can barely get to
Cloud Four Point Five
Second hand bass from the classifieds
Now say goodbye to the rest of your life
Trading cards and early nights
Replaced with frets and Marlboro lights
Back then I was on cloud nine
But these days I can barely get to
Cloud Four Point Five
Hey kid you're on your own
Just like those toys that you've outgrown
Hey kid you're on your way
Get a job, get a house and get a raise
Hey kid you're doing fine
Here's a pill to help you tow the line
Hey kid you're out of your mind
Get down, get down, get down, get down
From cloud nine

The Cynic
02:45
|
|||
|
How'd I get so cynical
Life used to be so magical
Now everything just seems to get me down
The more I learn the less I love
I guess this is just growing up
And how'd things get so fucking grim
I used to laugh at everything
Now nothing ever seems to make me smile
If life's a joke, for all this time
I've been waiting on the punch line
How'd I get so skeptical
I used to be susceptible
To people with their games and all their lies
There are always strings attached
So I'll cut the lines and stay detached

Daisy Chain

Oh Daisy Chain
Her life is unpleasantly plain
Living each day by day
Oh Daisy Chain
Oh Daisy Chain
They say that life equals pain
Whatever gets you through the day
It's ok Daisy Chain
Daisy can't you see?
This world wasn't made for you and me
They sold you the lie
But deep down inside
You know that you'll never
You'll never be free
Oh Daisy Chain
She picks mushrooms after the rain
She's sorting things out in her brain
Oh Daisy Chain
Oh Daisy Chain
She sees colours that drip from the panes
Of the windows and doors in her brain
Oh Daisy Chain
Daisy now you see
This life can be a dream
Ride away on this vessel
With thoughts that you wrestle
And open your mind
And you can be free
Daisy Chain
Those lights that flood through your brain
Are the eyes of the oncoming train
Oh no Daisy Chain

Celestial Teapot
05:24
|
|||
|
Looking above
With Galileo eyes
Stare at the skies
Questioning life
As you sit by
Reading your tea leaves
It's not bothering me
'cause I guess it's just what you believe
I just know that the morning will come
As we turn to face the sun
Yeah I just know that the morning will come
And for me that is enough
Look at life
Through the microscope slide
To see how it moves
It's something to do
As you read lines
From fables and stories
From a long time ago
Well I guess it's just what you know
Well I just know that the seasons will come
As we circle around the sun
Yeah I just know that the seasons will come
And for me that is enough
Like night
This life
Will fade away to black
Scattered
Into the sea
Lost to history
And one day
This will all be gone
Forgotten
Like an unsung song
And we'll return
To the ground
From where we came
And the sun
Will rise again...

Falling Apart
04:22
|
|||
|
Sit back when the day is done
And your head it weighs a tonne
You feel like a loaded gun
With sights on everyone
Do you hide and contemplate?
Your thoughts and your mistakes
To much time to Ruminate
With the voice inside your head
The darkness you've found
Is weighing you down
Hanging on by a thread
As your sinking
Into the bed
I know
That you think you're alone
Well you're just a small part
In a world that's falling apart
Do you feel like you're everywhere?
And nowhere at once?
When the sky is falling down
Are you holding up the Sun?
The darkness you found
Is covering ground
Spreading like a disease
It's preying on the weak
I know
That you feel alone
Well you're just a small part
In a world that's falling apart
Relax, it's all in your head
