Lyrics:
feeling so cosmic
Assembled using logic
of the mind & the network 
as you can find
gotta pause the smiling 
when they're robbing you blind
last straw's been drawn 
you've clearly crossed the line 
please don't think it's fine
Wish I could explain it
but we're running out of time
wish I knew all the answers 
but it'll probably come to me
after the struggles of the 20 week grind
fake friends out there with a grin that's kind
but I learnt to let go
since the cake is all mine
answer's from within
don't wait for the signs
pressure gets intense
squeezed like the grape vines
the apple's fallen too far from the tree
yet found in the pines
when the end is eventually nigh
I can't wait to see who really shines 
the real light in the limes 

pumping out ideas
onto the computer
developing my craft
as an enthusiastic producer 
already heard the past 
but what about the future?
time to learn a new maneuver 
10,000 mistakes before you find something peculiar for the consumer
bass is pretty rocky
some say it's quite lunar
couldn't get there sooner
just like your average London commuter 

feeling so cosmic
Assembled using logic
of the mind & the network 
as you can find
gotta pause the smiling 
when they're robbing you blind
last straw's been drawn 
you've clearly crossed the line 
please don't think it's fine
Wish I could explain it
but we're running out of time
wish I knew all the answers 
but it'll probably come to me
after the struggles of the 20 week grind
fake friends out there with a grin that's kind
but I learnt to let go
since the cake is all mine
answer's from within
don't wait for the signs
pressure gets intense
squeezed like the grape vines
the apple's fallen too far from the tree
yet found in the pines
when the end is eventually nigh
I can't wait to see who really shines 
the real light in the limes 

so shallow
thoughts of the weak so narrow
pushing these keys on the piano
you count in milliseconds 
I count in nano 
reminiscing the days of school
singing soprano
kicked out for being late?
waiting on my bravo
Johnny only offered condolences 
some real truth to swallow
the rage is being released
time to go rago, lift weights, get macho. 

feeling so cosmic
Assembled using logic
of the mind & the network 
as you can find
gotta pause the smiling 
when they're robbing you blind
last straw's been drawn 
you've clearly crossed the line 
please don't think it's fine
Wish I could explain it
but we're running out of time
wish I knew all the answers 
but it'll probably come to me
after the struggles of the 20 week grind
fake friends out there with a grin that's kind
but I learnt to let go
since the cake is all mine
answer's from within
don't wait for the signs
pressure gets intense
squeezed like the grape vines
the apple's fallen too far from the tree
yet found in the pines
when the end is eventually nigh
I can't wait to see who really shines 
the real light in the limes
