The Dread 02:50
The dread is here The dread is here The pumping heart The sweaty hands The crowded mind The dread is here No escape From the fear of failure My nemesis The dread is here That cold feeling That strikes the heart You know what it is The dread is here In the moment All I see is darkness My nemesis The dread is here The pumping heart The sweaty hands The crowded mind The dread is here No escape from From the fear of failure My nemesis The dread is here That cold feeling That strikes the heart You know what it is The dread is here In the moment All I see is darkness My nemesis The dread is here, for now

Acceptance 02:13
It didn’t turn out as bad as I thought it would No tricks were played but I did not know where I stood A moment of silence in this neighbourhood The words were jumbled, it just felt out of place I made it up, but there was no disgrace They accepted me into this very odd space Received another layer of complexity They bow to me saying ‘your excellency’ ‘Accept this crown, it’s your destiny’ ‘There must be some mistake’ I said that to them They point to a picture which looks like me Wearing a crown, raised arms in glory It didn’t turn out as bad as I thought it would It got so weird, but I thought it was pretty cool I pinched myself just to see if it was for real I’m back at my seat That wasn’t ideal

In a sea of yellow and orange, a green top out there She takes her seat across me and falls asleep Dreaming of a better world and a great escape From the daily grind we deal with, she’s just a… Woman in a train Woman in a train When she smiles, the carriage smiles When she cries, we’re all sad We never speak, but we’re in peace It’s quiet out here with this, Woman in a train Woman in a train Woman in a train I never knew your name I sat near you in those dark weekdays A moment of peace of quiet May your dreams all come true Woman in a train I never knew your name I sat near you in those dark weekdays A moment of peace of quiet May your dreams all come true

Word Search 02:38
Analogue man in a digital world Paper based boy in a paperless world I’m going through a puzzling phase Searching for the right words Searching for truth Word search Looking for the right words Flow through, though the signal has a right light too Word search Circling the right words Go through, passing to the next stage Sleeping woman in an awaken world Energetic girl in a lifeless world Witnessing a puzzling phase Searching for the right words Searching for truth Word search Looking for the right words Flow through, though the signal has a right light too Word search Circle in the right words Go through, passing to the next stage Circling the right word page after page Circling the right word page after page, Circling the right word page after page (word search, word search) Circling the right word page after page (word search, word search) Word search

Flying High 03:23
I see you where I want to be, I see you where I want to be Flying high, flying high I see you where I want to be, I see you where I want to be Flying high, flying high I see you where I want to be, I see you where I want to be Flying high, flying high I see you where I want to be, I see you where I want to be Flying high, flying high From the get go, she’s flying high From the get go, she’s loving life From the get go, she’s flying high From the get go, she’s loving life I see you where I want to be, I see you where I want to be Loving life, loving life I see you where I want to be, I see you where I want to be Loving life, loving life Loving life, loving life She’s loving life

The wheels are turning, the momentum starts building Am I on the right track? I feel unsure, I don’t know where to go Am I on the right track? A misstep here, a failure there I made a commitment, I’m not going back The fear is there, self-doubt creeps in Am I on the right track? A tremble here, a quiver there I’m a little unnerved, there’s no going back The momentum is building, but I’m still unsure Am I on the right track? The journey continues wherever I go I have to go forward and not come back The right step here, some successes there I think I’m on the right track

Tangents 10:02
Where do you think you’re going? When do you think you’ll take me? To places where I have never been before To experiences that I have never felt before There is no map, but we’ll navigate through the fog Stumble to treasures or stumble to danger wherever we go A change of pace, a change of tone A step forward, where to go? String it together, don’t let go The mountain top, you can see The destination it will be Climb it up, but don’t let go From the mountain tops we float onto the clouds Missing the rain shadow, missing the dry towns Drifting towards the sea, avoiding the ships at shore Away from the shore, the clouds drift some more There is a whale having the time of his life No person can harpoon his dreams He found a secluded sea No traps, no tourists, he felt free As I float away, his tail waves goodbye to me And I realise, I realise I’m about to change Back in the city, things aren’t pretty A bit of panic, a bit of chaos It’s time to get back home before the roadblocks It’s time to get back home before the stampede I see we’re nearly home Look at the horizon Surprising? Did we ever leave home? I see we’re nearly home Look at the horizon Surprising? Did we ever leave, did we ever leave home?

Stopping all stations, stopping all stations There is a juncture here and you’re about to leave I’m taking the emotional line You left me and now you’re heading for logic cause I hurt you too many times My heart was all over the place Your head had enough and it’s understandable See me the way that I am Stopping all stations, stopping all stations I getting close to my destination Stopping all stations, stopping all stations I getting closer to my destination Waiting for the signal to go So I can go on and do better things in life Leaving this mess behind Wondering if I’ll see you again Branching out to different lines Though it hurts right now I know we’ll be alright in the end Stopping all stations, stopping all stations I miss the express and I’m moving slowing Stopping all stations, stopping all stations I’m heading to the end of the line Stopping all stations Stopping all stations Stopping all stations Stopping all stations

Sea breeze, fire flies We’re at the end of the line, the end of the line Cliff face, downward fall We’re at the end of the line, the end of the line So this is where the train ends This is where we depart There was imagination But now I’m here at this destination Sea breeze, tall ships sail We’re at the end of the line, the end of the line Sad face, embers fall We’re at the end of the line, the end of the line I’m at the end… I’m at the end… of the line
