I made this a few months back and I picked it today for my video.

Abandoned Cosmodrome

My Composition of Popular Music Assigment for Semester 1.

Lyrics

Another week rolls by
Circadian rhythms lose touch with him, they've gone awry
And he got nothing done
Staring at the racetrack as if deafened by the gun

I've got the world in my hands, in my hands, in my hands
But it don't go like I planned, like I planned, like I planned

And now it's flashback time
Modest smiles and welcome praise for reaching an early prime
Where did it all just go?
I guess a big fish ventured into the ocean flow

I've got the world in my hands, in my hands, in my hands
But it don't go like I planned, like I planned, like I planned

Cos I was born a fucking god but I'm losing my power
I can't escape suppression of my limits cos I'm such a coward
I'll never make my mother proud by wasting all of these hours
But there's hope yet I still got the world in my hands

I've got the world in my hands, in my hands, in my hands
But it don't go like I planned, like I planned, like I planned 
(x2)

World In My Hands

Piece of Cake

Lyrics:

With all this pressure
How do I live in confidence?
When everyone ran away from the truth of their hearts?

I don’t know where to stand 
Now everyone I loved has gone to a dark place
And I am to blame

Show me the way to go
Show me the way to go
I’m feeling so lost
Oh God I need to know
Show me the way to go

What comes from the heart?
That’s what I want to know
I was an imitation all my life 
And now I wanna flow 
From the air deep inside of me

Reaching out, reaching in
All the way to my very heart
Let it flow
Let it flow

Show me the way to go
Show me the way to go
I’m feeling so lost
Oh God I need to know
Show me the way to go

Time, is it time to say goodbye?
Time, I never had my time
Time is slipping away
Time

Time, is it time to say goodbye?
Time, never found my time
Time is slipping away

Now, right is undermined
No way to life
Find it alive
I’m right
Waiting for this time

Track 2 from Capital Island EP

(The world outside is funny to me // It's nothing like the world in my head)

I’ll take a trip to the capital island
Make a deal with the devil and see
If in a cesspool of coffee and diamonds
I could make something happen for me
And if the world’s run amuck with its demons
I gotta be one if I wanna be free
I’ll make a pledge with the Kochs and the Lehmans
Then I’ll take what’s coming to me

I crave the silent moments that I steal
But the more I think the worse I seem to feel
I care too much it catches on my soul
I always knew this was coming to me

I’ll take a trip to the capital island
Make a deal with the devil and see
If in a cesspool of coffee and diamonds
I could make something happen for me
And if the world’s run amuck with its demons
I gotta be one if I wanna be free
I’ll make a pledge with the Kochs and the Lehmans
Then I’ll take what’s coming to me

I’ll take a trip to the capital island
Make a deal with the devil and see
If in a cesspool of coffee and diamonds
I could make something happen for me
And if the world’s run amuck with its demons
I gotta be one if I wanna be free
I’ll make a pledge with the Kochs and the Lehmans
Then I’ll take what’s coming to me

Coffee & Diamonds

You don’t wanna rock the boat
Just dancing till the end
You don’t wanna rock the boat no no no
In the beltway with your friends
You don’t wanna make the peace
Gotta house out on the beach you will defend
You don’t wanna turn the apple cart over
Make you start over again

I spend my life staring out of the Overton Window
I build my dreams on foundations of glass
I grow my brain in the frame of the Overton Window
I aint the first and I won’t be the last

You don’t wanna rock the boat
Just dance on starboard side and watch it all
You don’t wanna rock the boat no no no
Just watch him build a wall
And you don’t wanna make your master rethink
And he don’t wanna lose to someone, more cruel and evil than him, it’s all so dumb

Dave Kilby

Overton Window

Let Down

I'm breathing
But things I used to love 
Are passing through me like the air
And now I'm guilty beyond words 
Cos all the music that I heard
Just doesn't go there
Anymore

I'm bleeding
The bluest blood I've bled
And now it's all over my sheets
And I'm forcing out a smile 
But I ain't felt one in a while
Cos there's no meaning 
Anymore

All I need
Is a feeling
All I need
Is a feeling

In five years time
Where will I be?
The world's injustice
Is getting to me
It's the warmest hearts
Who feel the coldest nights
And now I know it
I can't sleep

All I need
Is a feeling
All I need 
Is a feeling

(but I'm feeling so alone)

Painting - Melancholy by Edvard Munch

The White House
In all its prestige
I wonder how on god’s earth
They can make us believe it’s for the rest of us

Because the money’s there
And it’s calling the shots
It’s like a love affair
But it’s violent as anything in Westeros 

So take it all
Take my soul
Take my money
Spend it all
To rule the world
Or better yet kill us all, kill us all
Kill us all, kill us all

So lock me up
Or put me down
Cos soon there won’t be anyone
To push around
So go ahead and kill us all, kill us all
Kill us all, kill us all
Kill us all!

The rich guy
The man on the street
They’re like two peas in a pod
Even though they won’t meet
Yeah it’s reciprocal
Reciprocal

Cos there’s only room
For a handful of kings 
And they control it all
Taking everything
Yeah it’s political
Political

So take it all
Take my soul
Take my money
Spend it all
To rule the world
Or better yet kill us all, kill us all
Kill us all, kill us all

So lock me up
Or put me down
Cos soon there won’t be anyone
To push around
So go ahead and kill us all, kill us all
Kill us all, kill us all
Kill us all!

I know that you think they can't lose
It's just what they want you to do
It all comes down to me and you

They'll take it away till we fight
They'll never make anything right
It all comes down to me and you

The White House

Lie back and breathe slow
And dream of your barrels of gold
Floating in the sea of your code

Black cars and bank notes
Falling at the feet of your throne
Stinking of the blood and the bones

Worship the hedonist
Neck deep in all of his crimes
Just for the fun of it
Cheating with all of his time

Blankfein and Bonnafe
Straight from the bowels of hell
Well you sold out but I won’t do as well

My heart is too big to fail!
To blow, to bleed
To fall out my head
You showed your greed
Now I’m painting you red
The world will see
That inside you’re dead
Too old to breed
Too small to succeed

(Too big to fail)

Sinking humanity
You tear through the forest again
Making all your lucrative friends 

Shrinking your sanity
You’re making your statuses quo
Raking it in as you go

Worship the monolith
Concrete in all of its crimes
Just for the hell of it
Cheating with all of your time
Dimon and Gulliver
Straight from the centre of hell
Well you sold out but I won’t do as well

I’m rushing the bank
Yeah I’m forcing you out
I’m sick of your pranks
So I’m pushing the love of a mother and child
Into your dreams so sickly and wild
We’re taking it back
Yeah we’re making it right
We know what you did and we’re winning the fight
And you’ll never be too big to fail!

Too Big To Fail

The full moon's out tonight
Watching over me
Just like it did my ancestors

Guide me, oh pretty moon
And in this still twilight
I'll bask in your glorious ghostly embers
As a new day dawns

I'm a creature of the night
Just like you
Oh pretty moon

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Show me my angels
Show me my angels
I'm ready now

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
In this full moon
That's out tonight

Show me my angels
Show me my angels
Show me my angels
