Out of the blue Your body moves A tapping shoe A steady groove Each molecule Inside of you Is longing to Come unglued Long afternoon But now immune Just no more room For doom and gloom Head out the door Light up the floor The music can Make you whole Turn off your phone Let that shit go The music will Save your soul Drown in the sound Lost in the crowd Your spirit now Moves in the round A knot unwound A realm unbound Feeling profound From lost to found You're out the door Light up the floor The music can Make you whole Turn off your phone Let that shit go The music will Save your soul You're out the door Light up the floor The music can Make you whole Turn off your phone Let that shit go The music will Save your soul Let the music work its dark magic Work its way under your skin Soon the feeling is automatic Now the room's watching you spin Even though this life can be tragic Can't leave it up to chance Up to us to make our own magic The time is now, let's dance You're out the door Light up the floor The music can Make you whole Turn off your phone Let that shit go The music will Save your soul You're out the door Light up the floor The music can Make you whole Turn off your phone Let that shit go The music will Save your soul

This isolating Overstimulating Projector in my brain It never stops It only plots Its means to entertain Embrace the madness A gift to have this Thing that's only mine Or so it seemed An endless screen This theater of the mind Trust me When I say It's easy To lose yourself in Hyperphantasia No one's gonna save ya From the glittering ghosts Inside your mind So be your own savior These undulating Reverberating Waves of sound and light Do not exist No waiting list For the club between my eyes Trust me When I say It's easy To lose yourself in Hyperphantasia No one's gonna save ya From the glittering ghosts Inside your mind So be your own savior If you start slipstreaming away It's okay, it's okay Just brace for hell And embrace your fate The white noise, the decay So when the windows rattle And the ground begins to shake Savor this private battle It's time for your great escape Hyperphantasia No one's gonna save ya From the glittering ghosts Inside your mind So be your own savior

Playlist 03:11
Hey babe Your playlist is on my mind And I think You AirDropped me a sign Oh, if I may be so bold, mon cheri Fate shuffled you next to me Now we're on repeat, endlessly Between your sips of tea Your eyes and mine collide Now with my left AirPod You're queueing 'Sara Smile' If I seem anxious to you Please pay it no mind My heart is only pounding Up and down my spine The music swells The chorus nears A voice as sweet as sugar Whispers in my ear Hey babe Your playlist is on my mind And I think You AirDropped me a sign Oh, if I may be so bold, mon cheri Fate shuffled you next to me Now we're on repeat, endlessly I swear I am not this awkward But no one cool as you comes around Life just dropped a hearty record scratch Hey there honey, please allow me To pick up all that you're putting down Can't help think we ought to light this match Hey babe Your playlist is on my mind And I think You AirDropped me a sign Oh, if I may be so bold, mon cheri Fate shuffled you next to me Now we're on repeat, endlessly Hey babe Put your hand in mine Let's slow dance To 'Drive' and 'I'm On Fire' Oh, if I may be so bold, mon cheri Fate shuffled you next to me Now we're on repeat, ecstasy

Shadowside 04:15
The ice was melting in my head A steady drip of cosmic dread Tomes of subtext gone unread A fight to get out of bed Had no clue where this was going Or even if it was worth knowing All I knew was that I was depressed A score and a half repressed A search for meaning On the ceiling Rebuild from the ash A new beginning A heart gone brimming Epiphany at last Love your shadow Hold it tight Hear your inner child It's filled with love and light Jung at heart, self affection Opened up, vivisectioned Now I know that I are we A loving trust indeed Every second The future beckons To get it right this time A lethal question Beyond suggestion All is redefined Love your shadow Hold it tight Hear your inner child It's filled with love and light Even if you feel alone Inside your mind You and I So as below Will rise above in time Don't look to crosscuts To find a deeper peace Through the fire and through the fog Is where you'll find relief In this holy spectrogram A whole life lived beneath Beatific imperfection Is all we'll ever need Love your shadow Hold it tight Hear your inner child It's filled with love and light

Wanted to hold you, oh so bad Til the sun went down and came up again Wanted to show you, how for real I am And just how strong we'd be walking hand in hand A lot of fires don't burn so long You were the ember that kept me roaring on Wanted to hold you, oh so bad Til the sun went down and came up again Wanted to kiss you, deep and long Watch the stars come out, count them one by one Wanted to lift you, hold you up so high A perfect silhouette cut against the sky There were moments, out of tune But naively I felt love in bloom Wanted to kiss you, deep and long Watch the stars come out, count them one by one Never felt so good In my whole goddamn life But then reality Cut through like a knife And belatedly I figured out your game You got close to me To pass along your pain And now I think of you And all I feel's A poisoned, parasitic love Now I think of you And all I feel's A poisoned, parasitic love A parasitic love

Hey what's that behind your back I bet I have a guess Not even the Zodiac Could decipher this mess Dying's your business And business is good It seems like no one can get enough Into the abyss This much understood As you drive me to the club in cuffs Tonight I'm dancing With the angel of death We both know What happens next I'm dancing With the angel of death Two-stepping to our dark aftermaths Been sleeping with an eye open How do you sleep at all Abandoned faith and all hoping A shriek, a siren call Necrosis your business But you skirt what you sow Can I finally turn the tide Vapid and bloodless A freakish ego Let's do this one last time Tonight I'm dancing With the angel of death We both know What happens next I'm dancing With the angel of death Two-stepping to our dark aftermaths Tearing up the floor Since we walked through the door With the nails you drove through my feet Your pleasure my pain As you're carving your name Into me torturously Tonight I'm dancing With the angel of death We both know What happens next I'm dancing With the angel of death Of death Of death Of death Of death Tonight I'm dancing With the angel of death We both know What happens next I'm dancing With the angel of death Two-stepping to our dark aftermaths

I've been just like you Scared and alone So out of control I was brought down to My hands and my knees Fumbling for reasons to live Couldn't imagine Things getting better So hard to fathom But I put this together Fear is a mirror It couldn't be clearer I dare you not to give in What you hate in the world Is what you fear of your soul But I swear it's a fight you can win I have been there too Afraid to go on So far beyond gone But the only way out's through I have to believe That you'll find your reason to live Hard to imagine Things not getting better But fair if you haven't Quite put this together Fear is a mirror It couldn't be clearer I dare you not to give in What you hate in the world Is what you fear of your soul But I swear it's a fight you can win I want to believe I want to believe I want to believe Want you to believe Fear is a mirror It couldn't be clearer I dare you not to give in What you hate in the world Is what you fear of your soul But I swear it's a fight you can win Fear is a mirror It couldn't be clearer I'm begging you not to give in What you hate in the world Is what you fear of your soul But I swear it's a fight that we'll win I want to believe I want to believe I want to believe Want you to believe

Hold tight, hold steady Confetti guns at the ready A coal walk through hell hot And dark, so dark Pirate ship in a bottle Crucible, full throttle In the dirt, you did the work In time, your time You made it All alone You don't have to be afraid You did it On your own You went singing in the rain Nothing matters So everything matters Nothing matters So everything matters Jungle, meet machete Unmoored from the jetty Red eyes on the prize My love, my love Broken down to pieces Pages turn on the seasons While everything you ever needed Was there all along You made it All alone You don't have to be afraid You did it On your own You went singing in the rain Nothing matters So everything matters Nothing matters So everything matters Nothing in this world is so divine As drinking in the magical design Of our fleeting time in paradise Soaring through the pouring sky You made it All alone You don't have to be afraid You did it On your own You went singing in the rain Nothing matters So everything matters Nothing matters So everything matters It's true you know There's no place Like home
