I guess it's true, we won the lottery
Hey I'm just quoting your sayings
Does it make your eyes watery
We're not in charge of your feelings
You're facing another lifestyle allegory
But you stand on the wrong side of history
We just ended up here after finding our way
And we're not going away
You're gonna fall
And get back up
As a figure part of us
Just answer the call
We won't backtrack
If you're about to attack
(Now cut to black)
It's bold to say that we're not meant to be
Have you looked at your reflection
It was never a matter of he or she
We ain't too fond of deflection
You're quick to mischaracterize an entity
Yet had no say in your assigned identity
Just some introspection brought us all outta there
And we're not going anywhere
You're gonna fall
And get back up
As a figure part of us
You've answered the call
So don't fall back
The code is about to crack
(Now cut to black)
Ladies, gents, and everyone else
We're in our rightful place
Men of Venus, women of Mars
And travelers among the stars
Time to claim our space
Let's go!

These Glory Days

Have you heard the sound of the breaches
Something we can outrun
Gotta get out of what it teaches
Something I've never done
I don't wanna know
The ultimate consequence
It is not my type to predict if I stooped low
By taking the chance
I just wanna go
If you are somewhat nearby
Together it's worth the try
One of these days we're gonna find a way
To get that far
Feel no more daze because we're here to stay
It's who we are
Have you seen the podium of speeches
Somewhere we are unknown
Gotta look at what our heart reaches
Somewhere we haven't grown
I don't wanna blow
My only opportunity
It is not my type to hide and not take the chance
I didn't stoop this low
I don't wanna go
If you aren't somewhat nearby
The world is ours to defy
One of these days we're gonna find a way
To get that far
Feel no more daze because we're here to stay
It's who we are
One of these days we're gonna find a way
To heal our scars
Feel no more daze because we're here to play
Among the stars
One of these days

Wizard Girl

Opened the door
With just the tip of her finger
What she's up to is what I wonder
All bottled up
I'm a lil' boy trapped on her calendar
But not for any longer
I caught her eye, she grins with grace
There's no escape, I'm losing face
Her concoction is on the case
It's reaching for me without a trace
Wizard girl
Cast your spell on me
(All I want is more)
Can't take it anymore
Wizard girl
Why did you pick on me
(All I want's your soul)
Babe take me as a whole
Opens the door
Still with the tip of her finger
What can she do with all the others
She's gettin' something
It's not the time to just linger
Gotta satisfy my hunger
Let's say we're not like we once were
Perhaps I just wanna become her
First I'll break free and set the pace
And hopefully I'll get to third base
Wizard girl
Cast your spell on me
(All I want is more)
Can't take it anymore
Wizard girl
Why did you pick on me
(All I want's your soul)
Babe you're my ultimate goal
Open your eyes
Did you realize your reign's over
No time to talk, I'm takin' over
She's so surprised
I made it out and I fooled her
Now it's all in my favor
Your medicine, do you like its taste
Let it sink in, while I hold your waist
I've waited quite for your embrace
Tonight our love will fill up the place
Wizard girl
Cast your spell on me
(All I want is more)
Can't take it anymore
Wizard girl
Now it's your turn to see
(All I want's your soul)
You're not alone at all

Holding On
05:00
|

I'm a mess, I don't care if it wasn't properly disclosed
I don't know how to go on without you
More or less, now the door for our road together is closed
Should I go on my own without you
Thinking of memories makes me lose pace
Cause well, the past sure seems so seamless
But there's a part of me that I just won't chase
Cause well, we've only scratched the surface
But I don't want to erode by the sands of time
For my attempts reduced to dust
Will I lose my life at the hands of my pastime
To lust what I cannot trust, is this what we wanted?
Tell me why my faith's broken to the core
I gotta try not to stare at the world from a dome
So now that you're gone, it's my turn to stop to roam
I am in the wrong so I'll sing along
Cause I'm holding on until the cows come home
You're at rest, though you pretty much kept our dreams afloat
High or low, they were hard to get through
We're the best, through the cruel tidal waves we hung on to the boat
But the flow never looked so blue
Mystery can't appease my internalized race
Cause well, the future seems so heartless
And there's a part of me that'll take its place
Cause I forbid myself to lose face
But I don't want to erode by the sands of time
For my attempts reduced to dust
Will I lose my mind at a mountain I can't climb
And adjust to a life unjust, this ain't what we wanted
Tell me why my faith's broken to the core
I gotta try not to stare at the world from a dome
So now that you're gone, it's my turn to stop to roam
I am in the wrong so I'll sing along
Cause I'm holding on until the cows come home
We keep our heads in the storm clouds
To live out of thinking out loud
But can we count on ephemeral sparks
To survive in the dark
Tell me why my faith's broken to the core
I gotta try not to stare at the world from a dome
So now that you're gone, it's my turn to stop to roam
I am in the wrong so I'll sing along
Cause I'm holding on until the cows come home
Until you come back home

Ego
04:40

Save me from my mischief
For I have a second belief
A motive for another relief
Misguided without a chief
This world knows how to deceive
But I see what no one will percieve
A reflection I believe
Is it time for me to leave
My ego's the only thing I know
I gotta keep up and stay in the shadow
Long ago it was the risk I took
My life is made up for their lack of outlook
They've grown alongside their tease
They all seem to get to you with ease
It's no wonder your faith may decrease
Some even to their own decease
I will both die and grieve
Think of it like Adam and Eve
Trapped in one conflicted body
It's finally her turn to be
My ego is nothing but hollow
Should I keep up, the world is so shallow
All you know's the cover of the book
I'll now open up for everyone to look
(Born a man)
It's time to break my mold and man it should be easy
Cause there is nothing more fragile than masculinity
You shed blood sweat and tears to stop whoever's like me
'Til we're compelled to live the same but quite literally
You're capable to acknowledge the minority
So set aside your ignorance and show some empathy
To be open isn't a statement made politically
Have you forgot the basic tenets of humanity
Don't you dare to compare
We're just like you, we just want a share
We're defined, we're assigned
Differing makes us the bane of mankind
Cram these lines in your mind
To respect us won't cost you a spine
We're one kind, one bloodline
And I wish we were all colorblind
Your ego will break in half also
The choice to grow up belongs to yourself though
I'll be with you when you see what's in store
You'll reap what you sow like the skins we all once wore

What a delight to talk to you again
My questions were asked in pure vain
I would never back down, I'm breaking these chains
She says they're sinners, nothing but stains
All of my hope goes down the drain
I found a way
But then you walked away
I think about it night and day
Whatever you'd like to say
This view will even stay
When my body will decay
Can't you see
I'm better off this way don't you agree
Can't you come
And look out for yourself that I'm not alone
Why does it always come undone
I'll never look like a man ever again
I announced that I would climb the highest mountain
My mind caved in and got rid of the pain
Through my eyes like hard rain
I would not stop
But I fell from the top
Like a lonely water drop
Then I got up
To reveal a closeup
Of a boy who'll never grow up
Can't you see
I'm better off this way don't you agree
Can't you come
And look out for yourself that I'm not alone
Why does it always come undone
My heart weighs a ton
Why do you act like you've lost your son
Just look at what you've done
All of your words fire one by one
Like a thousand guns
Will you admire me among the suns
After all, I'm your loved one
Can't you see
I'm better off this way don't you agree
Can't you come
And look out for yourself that I'm not alone (not alone)
Can't you see
I'm better off this way cause now I'm free (I am free, finally)
Can't you come
And realize that I am still someone
(mother can't you see I'm still someone)
Why does it always come undone

Same story, different name
Same glory, changing gains
Just don't be sorry, we'll just move on
I understand you were carried away
You'll have regrets for me to look upon
But I swear it's fine cause we will find a way
I know we've come this far
And I won't stop
So now aim for the stars
Then weigh up then and now
Same story, different games
We were young and free, we lived in flames
This creeping anxiety will carry on
Showing its fangs in a strive for its prey
To tame this beast makes you feel like a pawn
But it's worth it all when you invite it out to play
I know we've come this far
And I won't stop
So now aim for the stars
Then weigh up then and now
