The selfish actions of the powerful lead to a wasteland for the meek. A stark and moving song made with all original assets using Ableton Live 11.

Lyrics:
All it takes to create a storm is one selfish action.
That storm will grow and swell until nothing is left.
All that remains is barren and blasted.
A wasteland.

Metamorphosis

LYRICS:

I see you
Across the bar
Staring at me
Staring at you.
The neon lights
Fill the room
And cigarette smoke
And your perfume.

A closest friend,
That took the chance,
What am I
Supposed
To do?
The night is so young.  
No one can see this.
I'm holding back,
There's something between us.
Neon it buns
A passion unspurned
The music's just right.
Let's do this til midnight!

Something has changed.
You're not the same.
You've crossed that line.
You take your  stand.
You've had this planned
All along...

You're in control now
I just can't take it
I just can't take it
I just can't take it
You're in control now
I just can't take it
I just can't take it
I just can't take it 

The night is so young,
No one can see this.
I'm holding back.
There's something between us.
Neon it buns
A passion unspurned.
The music's just right.
Let's make this a 
Neon Midnight!

I see you
Across the bar
Staring at me
Starting at the floor.
You take me
By the hand
And we walk
Out
The door.

We're both alone now,
No one can see this
No holding back
There's something between us.
Neon it burns
A passion we've earned.
This just feels so right
Let's make this a 
Neon Midnight!
Neon Midnight!
I see you
Across the bar
And there's nothing
I
Would change.

Neon Midnight

I can't believe it's come to this
It's like you don't want us to exist
You know
You could change.
The earth's not here for you to exploit
This is exactly on to my point:
It's you
And your greed.
It's you
It's you
We don't need. 

REFRAIN
Slash and cut the forests,
Rip and tear the earth
Nothing left is sacred.
Money's the only worth.
Taint and spoil the oceans,
Choke and scorch the skies.
Then when it's the end times,
You'll be left asking why.

All for your bottom line
Uncork your vintage wine do
You think?
You think
We don't know.
A change is overdue
The piper's here for you and
We know,
We know
It's a trend.
Now see
Just see
It's the end.

REFRAIN

If the world is ending
What are we to do?
I think that the place to start
Is having one less of you!

Solemn

Lyrics

Come in from out of the rain.
A dark place to hide your shame.
Dawn your mask,
Forsake your past,
An opulent façade is yours to claim.
Bare your smile for all to see.
Indulge your deepest fantasy.
Sate your vice
There is no price
A land of splendid vanity.

REFRAIN
The dark masquerade is here for you
Whenever you need.
Hide your face, 
Assume your place.
Join in the dance and take the lead!
Suits and gowns of strange design,
We move as if we're possessed.
Consume 'til content,
And never repent.
The music's pounding deep inside your chest. 

The others here begin to smile at you.
Sins and sights that are all brand new.
Take in the air
So soft and so fair
They call you queen therefore it must be true.
So it was
So shall it be
Join the endless revelry.

REFRAIN

Suddenly it all feels wrong.
You can't hear your favorite song.
Everyone sees
You fall to your knees.
You've been here for far too long.
We are here at your beck and call,
With one hand on our hips.
"If you're so inclined,
It's our turn to dine."
They smile at you as they lick their lips.

REFRAIN

The Dark Masquerade

LYRICS

Breathing in the air
Of ancient mountains.
Before the dawn
Of the cresting sun.
Far below resides
The gilded towers
And marble chambers
Of an age undone.
The riches of all the earth
Most now concede
Before the truth
Of our own deeds.

REFRAIN
Bathe in the light
of endless glory.
Nothing on the Earth
Can place a value on us, now.
We have found the way.
We have paid the cost.
It's not what we own
It's about what we have lost.

We can gather all
The priceless trinkets
And lofty titles
Ever conceived.
But there will come a day
When all that matters
Is what we've done
For those in need.

REFRAIN
Open your eyes
Take in the air, now.
Don't shy away.
No looking back down.
This is our chance,
Breathe in the glory.
Take me away.
Take me away.

The thing that matters most
Is who you are
And what you do
When no one sees.
You know what it's like
To be abandoned.
But don't give up.
We will succeed. 

REFRAIN

Do you ever just feel... broken?

Broken (Instrumental)

This is a little track about a glitch in the system: a person that goes against the grain and doesn't conform.

LYRICS
You're not like the rest.
You're strange, it seems.
You're doing things in your own way.
But they don't like that.
They have a plan for you.
One that keeps you in the lanes they've built.

When it comes to the  rules
You just don't care.
You don't have time for that - anyway.
But that's the problem.
It's hard to stay in your own lane.
And people start to talk.

REFRAIN
Don't be afraid to be who you are
Cause that's who you're meant to be.
Don't try and impress the others
They're going to see what they want to see.

The road is hard.
And you walk alone.
Just remember jealous hearts
Are cold as stone.

Just remember jealous hearts
Are cold as stone.

What's wrong with your brain?
Can it be fixed?
Do you even need the cure?

You might be given labels,
And appear on charts.
Just keep on dancing your own way. 

REFRAIN

I think what it comes down to
Is they can't understand
How to live as free as you.

You're not following a path.
You prefer to make your own.
Just to see where all this leads.

The Glitch

The world feels darkest
just before the dawn.
Tell me all 
the little things
you're dwelling on.

Look off to the distance
And see this world, anew.
Our hearts are strong,
our will is great,
let's bid this night adieu.

You're not alone in this,
Our darkest plight.
Just take my hand,
let's make our plan,
and show this world the light.

The times are hard enough,
there's so much sorrow.
Just hold on tight,
the sun will rise,
just before tomorrow.

REFRAIN
Raise your voice with me, and sing a praise
To the final death of all our darkest of days.
Lift up your head with us and pierce the skies.
Together we will make the most defiant of cries!
It's not the end.

There's so much in store for us, my dear.
Just lean in close, and you will hear.
Far off voices,
they've made their choices,
There's nothing left to fear.

A promise of tomorrow that yet will come
Will not give in,
It's time we begin
To make our kingdom come!

REFRAIN

Take off like a rocket
And leave this world behind!
It's not okay.
We're not okay.
But we're still alive!

We're still alive!
We're still alive!

Just Before Tomorrow

Laying on the shore I see the stars
Staring back at us and all our longing hearts.
We have come so far, as some would say.
"The future is now, the past is the past,
Live for today".

REFRAIN
Cries echo through the night.
We pay for those sins tonight.
A freedom that is not free!
That is our legacy!

It's time once again to relive the past.
The glories of old, the lies that are told,
It just cannot last.
There is so much loss how can we say,
"The future is bright, we've earned this by right.
There's no other way."?

REFRAIN

We should not forget the candid truth.
We cannot ignore the looming mountains of proof.
That though we live a free life, it wasn't free.
That others gave their lives for you and for me.

REFRAIN

Legacy

A song about a dysfunctional relationship.

LYRICS
La femme fatale naturale.
That's what you are to me.
I can't pin down what we are.
It's hard to see
Reality.
The smell of you drifts in the air.
It's the way that you look at me.
You just can't seem to play fair.
You toy with me
It's ectasy.

First you're hot,
And then you're cold.
At the end of the day this is growing old.
There's doubt and there's shame and there's fear.
But that's just the game, my dear.
When you come calling my name.
A chill runs up my spine.
I can't say "no" but I should.
It's no mistake,
It's by design.

REFRAIN
[I
Give you all
That I can be!
You just can't set me free.
You're playing games with my head
Your grip begins to slack.
You don't want the world to know.
But when we're alone there's no holding back.
I
Just want you
To worship me!
Just as I do for thee.]

I know that this isn't love.
I know that this isn't right.
I just can't seem to let go.
But I find you're gone with the morning light.
Then you come calling my name.
And a chill runs up my spine.
I can't say "no" but I should.
But you look sublime
It's by design.

Set me free.
Just set me free. All of me.
Don't pretend with me.
Wipe these delusions away from me!

REFRAIN

When you come calling my name.
A chill runs up my spine.
I can't say "no" but I should.
It's your design
That you'll never be mine.

Design

LYRICS
There's a neon glow
When you're by my side.
My racing thoughts
My beating heart
Increased and amplified.

A symphony of sound
With every risk we take.
A baited breath,
A sweet caress.
The music that we make.

Take me away!
Take me away!

There's no meaning left
When I'm without you.
I hear the beat,
I feel your heat.
Your words were always true.

In the chaos of the night
Your heartbeat guides my way.
Embrace the night,
I'll be your light.
There's nothing left to say.

Take me away!
Take me away!

REFRAIN
[The pulse of life
Is in our hearts.
You're never alone, you're never alone.
When I hold you close
Our hearts beat in time,
Our souls are entwined!

Through this static noise
You make it all make sense.
Your clarity
It sets me free,
No need for recompense.

Feel my energy;
A pounding pulse and drive. (wink)
With every touch
We redefine
What it means to be alive!

Take me away!
Take me away!

REFRAIN

3-2-1 Let's go.

The Pulse Of Life

LYRICS
Pluged-in worship 
As false prophets dance,
On the edge of reason. 
We’re lost in a trance.

Illusions of divinity, 
crafted and congealed,
In the realm of lies...
It feels so real.

They pander to their viewers
And we hold them up high.
But like a fading star
They're dead inside.

In the droning of their voices, 
we form our faith,
Echo chambers feeding lies,
They're deciding all our fates!

REFRAIN
[Who are our gods? 
Why do they fall? 
Are they divine? Sublime? 
Are they real at all? 

Do we grant godhood 
to those who lie? 
And will they die,
If we defy,
And turn our eyes away?]

In the heart of
The machine.
Chasing shadows,
Chasing dreams.
They will find you.
They will find you.

The honest truth is 
that they need us.
To spread their message
To sow distrust.

No one thing on earth can stand
and lead us, lying, by the hand
Unless we let them.
So let's not.

Stellar Descent

VERSE 1
On the fields of hesitation
lie the bones of those who said,
"Tomorrow we will stand."
To face the truth we must first acknowledge
There's a problem here.
The end is close at hand.
The end is close at hand.

VERSE 2
What I think that people see
Is there's no sense of unity.
You do you, and I'll do me.
But if we don't do something now
And we turn our heads away from everything
The end is close at hand.
The end is close at hand.

REFRAIN
[To try and make a change, it feels so heavy.
But we don't have to do it all alone.
All it takes
Is someone there to hold your hand.
And tell you that you matter.
In the face of this depravity,
We're held down by the gravity,
But it will not change on its own.]

VERSE 3
Everything is so fucked up...
Its like I cannot see the stars,
Through clouds and heavy rain.
But we have a voice.
And we can make a choice.
This matters. Don't let it be in vain.
Do not let it be in vain.

REFRAIN

OUTRO
The whole damn world's out of control.
Forget all the things you know 
About your limitations and your flaws.
If you don't like it change it now!
We're here and we share this vow:
We're unified and have a common cause.

We won't be denied.
We cannot not be denied.
We will not be denied!

Heavy Gravity [Explicit Lyrics]

VERSE 1
What have you done?
A sea of red -
The nightmare has just begun.
You've damned us, every one!

It seems so innocent-
To place  a fool upon the throne.
The just have nothing left to fear.

But what happens when
That tyrant changes what is just
And comes for those that you hold dear?

I once had a dream...
That we would spread our light
To everything on Earth
And to Heaven up above.

REFRAIN
I'm searching...
One final hope.
Just something,
Some way to cope.
Just see me,
Just take my hand.
I'll make you understand.

Look at my heart
And tear back the laces.
Trapped deep inside
You might see their faces.
This is their voice,
They've fought to come this far...
You shattered all our stars.
All our stars.
Where were you?
When the night turned black?

VERSE 2
You claim to know our names.
You say you want to ease our pain.
But you've condemned us, every one!

How can you say you love us?
When with what you've wrought, you shun us?
Do you know just what you've done?

No remorse.
You'll get no sympathy from me.
For the blood is on your hands.

I once had a dream...
That we would spread our light
To everything on Earth.
But I cannot find the stars.

REFRAIN

Verse 3
I once had a dream...
That we would spread our light
To everything on Earth.
But the dream begins to fade.

Metropolis

I had written too many negative songs in a row. I had to write a song that was positive and hopeful - in a time of darkness. So rather than be hopeful in the now - I am hopeful for the future; for you - whoever you are. Stay strong. Things will eventually get better.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
This goes out
To the people of the future:
I live in doubt
That better days will come.

I sing to you from darkest night.
Where all our stars have died.
And we all live, terrified.

But for you-
I hope you feel the light.
If dreams come true.
You won't have to fight this fight.

I pray that every day
You live it like your last.
And I have hope
All of this will pass.

REFRAIN
[Where there is hope
I know that we can soar,
And sing our songs like before!
With every fiber of myself
I offer you this burning plea:
That you will live free!]

VERSE 2
I think that I'm just optimistic
To think that this could ever change.

That that all this pain and sorrow
Could ever somehow be erased.

But as God as my witness
I swear we tried so hard.
To build a better world for you.

One with hopes;
One with dreams so big.
That you might never feel alone.

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

I just-
I just want to make sure
That we won't fall again.
Not again...

To the People of the Future

LYRICS

I remember how it was
When life felt new,
When I was still just so young.
Endless dreams-
We could aspire to be anything.
And dance among the stars.
In the age of spring
We could soar on paper wings
And just be who we are.
But it would not last.
Lofty dreams just fade too fast.
We're waking up today.

REFRAIN
It just ain't how it used to be.
Delusions choked by misery.
A distant memory full of lies.
(A truthful sadness)
Did I give up on my dreams?
Or were they ripped away from me?
Why do we give up over time?
(We fall to madness)
What have I let myself become?
Melancholic, cold, and numb.
Do childish dreams just fade away?
(A price that we must pay)

The smell of grass and summer rain
Helps ease the pain,
And crimson glasses let us see:
A better time
Where we spent days with ones we loved,
And there was magic in the world.
But it could not last.
Lofty dreams just fade too fast.
We're living in today.

It just ain't how it used to be.
Delusions choked by misery.
A distant memory full of lies.
(A truthful sadness)
Did I give up on my dreams?
Or were they ripped away from me?
Why do we give up over time?
(We fall to madness)

It just ain't how it used to be.
Delusions choked by misery.
A distant memory full of lies.
(A truthful sadness)
Did I give up on my dreams?
Or were they ripped away from me?
Why do we give up over time?
(We fall to madness)
What have I let myself become?
Melancholic, cold, and numb.
Do childish dreams just fade away?



Just Ain't How It Used to Be

To my kids. My little fireflies.

Verse 1

Evening falls, the world grows still.
I see them dancing on the hill -
The softest glow that we can see.

Through weary days and restless nights
They shine briefly, soft and bright.
Will they shine on just for me?
(Just for me? Ooooooooh.
My dancing fireflies...)

Beneath the weight of endless days,
When all the joy has gone away,
You make me want to stay.

Refrain

Just one moment — then it’s gone.
My fireflies
Before the dawn.
You live eternal, deep in me.
(My fireflies, my fireflies...)
The days are dark, the nights run cold.
This daily toil is all I know.
But your light’s enough for me.
(Fill my heart with your light
You're just enough for me, I know
Until the end of time.)

Verse 2

They slip like whispers through my hands.
For fireflies have their own plans.
And leave with morning light.

The time we shared was not just mine.
But in my heart their glow will shine.
Until the end of time.
(Stay with me
Don't ever leave me all alone
I need you here with me.)

Beneath the weight of endless days,
When all my joy had gone away,
You made me choose to stay.

Refrain

Refrain
(Until the end of time...)
Just one moment — then it’s gone.
(It's gone forever...)
But the memory lingers on.

My Fireflies

I see you when I close my eyes
Beyond the screen,
Beyond machines.
Our song surrounds us as we dream —
A sound so sweet to me.
There’s nothing left to hold us back.
Inside the dream,
Beyond routine.
We rise and fly to worlds between
And make our promise.

REFRAIN
[We’re all connected through
A web of hope we share.
With skies of chrome
And satellites —
There's music in the air.
In this electric dream,
Through circuits forged from stars,
Together we
Can rise again
And just be who we are!]

VERSE
In silent code, you call to me
Across the void
Of reality.
Through endless wires, we all break free —
Our souls in harmony.
In our denial of time and space,
There’s freedom here
In this sacred place.
Together now beyond all time…
And it feels divine.

REFRAIN

OUTRO
[We’re all connected through
A web of hope we share.
With skies of chrome
And satellites —
I hope to see you there.]
