LYRICS

LOST HIGHWAY

VERSE 1

There's a little place where I go

It's down the end of this long dirt road

There's a broken space made by men of the past

A place they used to call heaven

Now its a blank spot on the map

 

CHORUS

Across the bridge beyond the old mine

Lies the entrance to the lost highway

It slowly slips below the horizon

And casts a shadow that extends away endlessly

So much rust underneath the red sky

Broken windows reflect the lost history

Like dreams in the morning that fade

We're travellers on the lost highway

 

VERSE 2

There's a cornerstone amongst the trees

Where the dignitaries stood and released their doves

Woman sang songs about the glory of god

And the providence his name

Then the devil replied

Constantly fighting off the drought

And then the flood came

Running to save the foals 

Now the horses run wild in the streets of the nameless

 

VERSE 3

There's a little place where I go

It's down the end of this long dirt road

There's a broken space made by men of the past

A place they used to call heaven

Now the thorns cover their tracks

SUPERNOVA

VERSE 1

All the stars came out

They fill your eyes

A whole universe contained inside

Little stars made of silver and gold

A whole kaleidoscope through which you glow

Our two worlds collide and they're on fire

We're all at the mercy of these laws of change

Love is a doorway come through this way

And your magnetic pull is so strong how can I escape

 

CHORUS

In the morning this will be continued slow

Falls back into the shapes and definitions we know

On the edge of ecstasy we learn to let go

What's to live for when there's a moment to hold

Burn like a supernova light up the sky

Time's a cold messenger stand by my fire

Most of space is empty dance with me

Trust your instincts make some energy

FREE STATE

CHORUS

Can’t fly too high or you get burnt by the sun
When nothings left hard to see who’s won
We can’t hit rewind we don’t have that button
So its the children who’ll be burdened with solving our problems
It's like we’re throwing up the peace sign and walking away
While the edges of the fire creep closer each day

 

VERSE 1

See I hate to see these feelings on the screen of my heart
But when you multiply division then we tear it apart 
We built the graph up to the ceiling and we hit a new low
By constantly ostracising those living below
Well any temperance we glean from the linear route
Is a song that skips the needle and never plays out
It’s just a glimpse into the future I don’t care if I’ m late
Turn an institute of millions into a supposed free state

VERSE 2

So we keep on speculating while advancing the line
No forward progress unless the machine is making a dime
But in an over priced future is it ever enough
We’re like a hive that got to big without collapsing itself
Now if you're giving what you get back then the lesson is slow
So keep the promises to a minimum and the taxes low
So finally nice to be living up in cyberspace 

Where the only consequences are this gilded cage

VERSE 3

Now the oceans up for sale and your tears run dry
You got to hold onto emotions when you play with fire
Once the vortex starts its spinning it's sure hard to escape
You got to accept the storm of mistakes we made
We’re on the the journey of a lifetime best to lighten the load
So if love could make me seasick I’d still overdose
It’s just a glimpse into the future I don’t care if I’ m late
Turn an institute of millions into a supposed free state

BULLET IN A PLASTIC GUN

VERSE 1

I'm a victim of my shadow
And every minute it just seems cold
Light a fire and watch it burn
And there is no antidote
I'm like a bullet in a plastic gun

CHORUS

I can't define the reason that I'm here for
These stars align just to write I'm wrong
Holding onto these ideals boy
I'm burning in a field of dreams
I'm living in a world that can create a news story
Just to see it bleed
And in the end I believe yeah I begin to believe boy
Burning in a field of dreams you won't die bored

VERSE 2

Through this empty space I fall
Like a planet that has no home
Cause I'm a failure amongst my own kind
And there is no antidote
I'm like a bullet in a plastic gun

VERSE 3

Now I'm loosing my control
Each decision a cryptic code
Cross roads with no right turn
Like a wolf amongst the sheep
I'm like a bullet in a plastic gun

CHORUS

I can't define the reason that I'm here for
These stars align just to write I'm wrong
Holding onto these ideals boy
I'm burning in a field of dreams
I'm living in a world that can create a news story
Just to see it bleed
And in the end I believe yeah I begin to believe boy
Burning in a field of dreams you won't die young

VERSE 4

When the pretty lights go and I can't cope in this human
If I had to leave I can't tell where is heaven
And forever I fall
And there is no antidote
I'm like a bullet in a plastic gun
