We felt in the mood for making something progressive and had been playing around with samples from this Above & Beyond classic. It's always difficult working without the individual parts, but we like the challenge of an old school bootleg!

Big love to the #trancefamily :)

Above & Beyond feat. Ashley Tomberlin - Can't Sleep (We Are All Astronauts Progressive Mix)

https://cognitiveappraisal.bandcamp.com/track/catch-22

Pushed to the side
Patiently wait for your time
Used and abused is the name of this ride
Not gonna stop til the day that you die
It's alright, that is life
Enjoy your time and dont ever think twice

We're all just slaves
Stuck in the cycle that we cant break
The stakes have been raised
Engage the machine before it's too late

Challenge presented and the cycle has started 
Desires met, utilities discarded

Every favor wears away at the best of us
At least I can speak for myself
My patience is worn, my trust has been torn
I'm slowly dying from the inside

Why
Why try anymore
My heart is bitter
I have become an object of scorn 

From day to day the beatings come in all ways
A mental breakdown is just on the brink
Cant seem to remedy complications at be
Lean on me? You may end up rock bottom with me

Challenge presented and the cycle has started 
Desires met, utilities discarded

Every favor wears away at the best of us
At least I can speak for myself
My patience is worn, my trust has been torn
I'm slowly dying from the inside

Catch 22

Run and take everything you can
Stay light, but don't forget necessity
This cannot be

Stuck in this moment as if time has ceased

We’ve gathered here today to spill the blood
This lot has convened to spread the disease
Stop at the Z
There is no stopping the machine

Hide, and stay silent all the time
Sleep tight... One false move and your end is in sight
Don't walk into the light

This hell is dark, black like the sky in the night
It’s all just flesh and teeth now
The world was just too big for itself
This plague was long overdue
The mindless rule, much like when things were normal
But with much less blood,
and with much less brains
God needed to reset humanity

We’ve gathered here today to spill the blood
This lot has convened to spread the disease
Stop at the Z
There is no stopping the machine

Stop At The Z

Here comes the end
We've made it yet

Each path to the end, unique
Each move susceptible to critique
Cram in the wisdom Hoard all the knowledge
Some writhe in the road, Oblivious!!!

Self consumed we remain
Hardwired to look out for number one
The givers are the heroes
Their being defies all instinct

Go

I've had a taste of pain, incomparable 
I see how the others suffer, unbearable 
I see the world for what it is, I see people for who they are
I wonder how we got this way

This journey presents its opportunity
And watches as we struggle
It laughs at our mistakes 
And to some this will humble
Then the end comes 
In one form or another
What's behind that door
What lies beneath this floor

My heart is racing as I hustle the system
The end is sure to come
This path has gone off the road
Forced with self absorbed intentions
The end is to come

Go

Each path to the end, unique
Each move susceptible to critique
Cram in the wisdom, Hoard all the knowledge
Some writhe in the road, Oblivious!!!


Self consumed we remain
Hardwired to look out for number one
The givers are the heroes

Self consumed we remain
Hardwired to look out for number one
The givers are the heroes
Their being defies all instinct

Breath
Breath
Just breath
