That mystical love is so much misunderstood

 That mystical love is so much misunderstood

Like fire in the veins, like it’s doing no good

They try to name the feeling, but they never really could

It bends the mind like shadows carved in wood

You see it in the colors when the night turns gold

Hear it in the silence, in the stories never told

It slips between the seconds, too wild to hold

A secret that the universe unfolds

**Chorus**

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A kaleidoscope of truth beneath the hood

It breaks you down to build you like it should

And lifts you far beyond the flesh and blood

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A burning light inside the darkest wood

You lose yourself to find what always stood

A deeper kind of knowing where you could

**Verse 2**

Drifting through dimensions in a liquid sky

Every thought dissolves, every question “why”

You touch the edge of something you can’t deny

A silent scream that teaches you to fly

Faces made of starlight start to breathe and glow

Whispers of eternity begin to flow

You are every place you thought you'd never go

A seed that only cosmic winds can sow

**Chorus**

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A kaleidoscope of truth beneath the hood

It breaks you down to build you like it should

And lifts you far beyond the flesh and blood

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A burning light inside the darkest wood

You lose yourself to find what always stood

A deeper kind of knowing where you could

**Bridge**

Melt into the rhythm of the endless sea

Every form undone, every part set free

What you thought you were is just a memory

You are what you are, and what you’ll always be

Echoes in the void begin to harmonize

Every fear dissolves before your eyes

Truth is not a thing you realize—

It’s the spark behind the great disguise

**Final Chorus**

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

Not something evil, not something just good

It’s the pulse beneath all that ever stood

The hidden root inside the living wood

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

But once you feel it, you know that you should

Let go of everything you thought you could—

And become the fire that always would 🔥

cosmic carousel

**Cosmic Carousel**

*Verse 1*

Spinning, spinning in the violet air,

Whispers tickle your thoughts, they’re everywhere.

Twist and tumble through the candy sky,

Past the clocks that melt and the stars that sigh.

*Chorus*

Oh, ride the cosmic carousel,

Round and round where secrets dwell.

Dreams are sparks and sparks are dreams,

Nothing is quite what it seems.

*Verse 2*

Colors tumble, bend, and fold,

Silver rivers of sound, bright and bold.

A little spark whispers, “you are more,”

Not just a shell on the sandy shore.

*Chorus*

Oh, ride the cosmic carousel,

Round and round where secrets dwell.

Dreams are sparks and sparks are dreams,

Nothing is quite what it seems.

*Bridge*

Let go of the fear, let go of the night,

Jump through the mirrors, step into the light.

Every pebble, every star, every sigh,

Is a wink from the universe as it floats by.

*Verse 3*

You are illusion, you are gleam,

A rolling bubble in a midnight stream.

Yet in the twist of the spinning tune,

You touch the sun, you touch the moon.

*Chorus*

Oh, ride the cosmic carousel,

Round and round where secrets dwell.

Dreams are sparks and sparks are dreams,

Nothing is quite what it seems.

*Outro*

Spinning, spinning in the violet air,

Whispers tickle your thoughts, they’re everywhere.

Round and round and back again,

The carousel hums, and you ascend.

painted dream

 **Verse 1**

In the twizzle-twine of tick and tock

Where the star-moths hum and the clocks go soft,

A whisper wriggles through the all—

Not quite a call, not quite a thought.

The zigzag trip to nowhere’s nook,

Through marmalade skies and paper moons,

Is where the nowhere folds itself

Into something that hums a tune.

**Chorus**

Oh, you’re a perhaps in a painted dream,

A giggle stitched in the in-between,

Spin with the swirl of the what-is-not,

Find your face where the lines forgot—

Round and round where the maybes play,

Nighttime melts into yesterday,

In the hush of the upside view,

The whole wide whirl is dreaming you.

**Verse 2**

Kaleido-knot of fizz and flash,

Spinning sherbet in your head,

Where up is down and down’s a grin,

And the unsaid words are said.

You’re not just bones in a buttoned coat,

Nor a think-thing tied in lace—

You’re a ripple-rattle, a maybe-mote,

In the wobble of every place.

**Chorus**

Oh, you’re a perhaps in a painted dream,

A giggle stitched in the in-between,

Spin with the swirl of the what-is-not,

Find your face where the lines forgot—

Round and round where the maybes play,

Nighttime melts into yesterday,

In the hush of the upside view,

The whole wide whirl is dreaming you.

**Bridge**

Slip your worries in a teacup crack,

Let them drip to the tulip floor,

For the oddity road goes roundabout

To the place you were before.

Through the jingle-jangle, threadbare bright,

You toddle the edge of the evermore,

Where secrets sit on upside chairs

And knock on an inward door.

**Verse 3**

You’re a perhaps, a mishap, a lantern dream,

A giggle in the cosmic seam,

A flicker-figure, a yes-and-no,

In the maybe-mean between.

So tip your hat to the nonsense breeze,

Let it tangle your name anew—

For the whole wide swirl of the what-is-not

Is quietly dreaming you.

**Final Chorus**

Oh, you’re a perhaps in a painted dream,

A giggle stitched in the in-between,

Spin with the swirl of the what-is-not,

Find your face where the lines forgot—

Round and round where the maybes play,

Nighttime melts into yesterday,

In the hush of the upside view,

The whole wide whirl is dreaming you.

Journey Through Myself

## **“Journey Through Myself”**

**[Intro – drifting, echoing]**

On a journey to find myself

Trying to change myself

I wish I was someone else

Maybe plastic dreams will help

---

**[Verse 1 – wandering, introspective]**

Should I call myself Michael?

Or something wild from the initials of LSD?

Real self, old self, new self — which am I?

Let us reason why

On a journey to change myself

Trying to lose the shadow of yesterday

So I can meet the one who waits

Oh, how I wish I was someone else

---

**[Chorus – swirling, hypnotic]**

Finally, I’m with myself

Talking to myself

“How to disappear?” — you’ll never find me

Where am I?

As I look into the sky

Oh my, I’m high, dimensions flowing by

Where am I?

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Why am I there?

Over here, over there

Real self, old self, new self — which am I?

Let us reason why

---

**[Verse 2 – dreamlike, psychedelic imagery]**

Floating through colors I can’t name

Echoes of laughter, whispers of flame

The walls bend, the stars revolve

All my questions slowly dissolve

Finally, I’m alone with myself

And I feel a strange, soft peace

I’m at rest

The trip has no end

The mirrors all bend

---

**[Chorus – repeat, layered]**

Finally, I’m with myself

Talking to myself

“How to disappear?” — you’ll never find me

Where am I?

As I look into the sky

Oh my, I’m high, dimensions flowing by

Where am I?

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Why am I there?

Over here, over there

Real self, old self, new self — which am I?

Let us reason why

---

**[Outro – dissolving, echoing mantra]**

Finally, alone with myself

I’m at peace

I’m at rest

The journey folds in on itself

And I flow…

I flow…

I flow…

Lyndaleigh

### ✨ *“Lyndaleigh (Cosmic Drift)”* ✨

*(Verse 1)*

Lyndaleigh, Lyndaleigh,

Why are the stars spinning around me?

Lyndaleigh, what are you showing me?

Lyndaleigh, I thought we could float through time, just you and me.

Lyndaleigh, why are you dancing in shadows I can’t see?

*(Pre‑Chorus)*

Lyndaleigh, are you lost in a neon sky?

Do you not feel me when I’m drifting by?

*(Chorus)*

Lyndaleigh, you have

slipped away like light through fingers,

Lyndaleigh, you have

lost me in the cosmic glow.

And I’m floating, I’m floating,

Searching for the you I used to know.

*(Verse 2)*

Lyndaleigh, the echoes of your voice

Bend the air, twist my choice.

I reach for you in a kaleidoscope haze,

But you’re a shimmer, fading in the maze.

Lyndaleigh, why are you playing in the unknown?

Why are your colors never fully shown?

*(Bridge — surreal / trippy)*

The planets spin in your name,

The moons reflect your flame.

I drift, I dissolve,

In this space where we once evolved.

*(Chorus)*

Lyndaleigh, you have

slipped away like light through fingers,

Lyndaleigh, you have

lost me in the cosmic glow.

And I’m floating, I’m floating,

Searching for the you I used to know.

*(Outro — floating dream)*

Lyndaleigh, Lyndaleigh,

Maybe one day you’ll return,

Or maybe I’ll learn

To float alone among the stars,

And keep your name in sparkling scars.

The Infinite Unseen

---

## **“The Infinite Unseen”**

**[Intro – drifting, echoing]**

What is born will die…

What is gathered will disperse…

What is high comes low…

Collapse, dissolve, flow…

---

**[Verse 1 – surreal imagery]**

No words can tell it,

No sound can reach it,

No example points the way.

Nothing touches it,

Nothing names it,

No one shows it to the day.

Knowledge doesn’t harm it,

Naivety doesn’t help,

In its stillness

Nothing can be removed,

Nothing can be added.

---

**[Chorus – mantra-like, hypnotic]**

It has never been born,

It has never died,

Never ended, never stared.

Never free, never deceived,

Never existed, never nonexisted.

No limits at all… no limits at all…

---

**[Verse 2 – flowing, cosmic drift]**

What has been built up

Will crumble into dust.

What has been accumulated

Will vanish into rust.

The mountains fall, the oceans fade,

The stars collapse in silent parade.

All things high are brought down low,

All streams of being endlessly flow.

---

**[Bridge – abstract, hallucinatory]**

Infinite mirrors

Reflecting nothing and everything,

Shadows of shadows

Where time does not cling.

The unseen whispers

Through corridors of space,

A song with no sound,

A face with no face.

---

**[Chorus – repeat, layered]**

It has never been born,

It has never died,

Never ended, never stared.

Never free, never deceived,

Never existed, never nonexisted.

No limits at all… no limits at all…

---

**[Outro – dissolving, echoing]**

Born and dying,

Gathered and dispersed,

Accumulated, exhausted,

Built up, collapsed,

High and low,

All dissolves…

All flows…

All fades into the infinite unseen…

---

What is born will die 

What has been gathered will be dispersed, 

What has been accumulated will be exhausted, 

What has been built up will collapse, 

And what has been high will be brought low. 

no words can describe it

Neon Mind

 "Neon Mind

*Verse 1:*  

LSD turn me on,  

All my friends are seeing tracers,  

Flashing neon signs,  

Laser rainbow lights in the skylines,  

Looking like phaser beams,  

In a kaleidoscope dream.  

*Chorus:*  

There are many colours in my head,  

Spinning round, they never end,  

Every thought a technicolor thread,  

Waves of light, floating instead.  

*Verse 2:*  

I’m lost in the spectrum of sound,  

Gravity’s fading, I’m not bound,  

I see the universe expand,  

Fingers tracing light in the sand,  

A thousand visions at my feet,  

Each one a beat, each one a leap.  

*Chorus:*  

There are many colours in my head,  

Spinning round, they never end,  

Every thought a technicolor thread,  

Waves of light, floating instead.  

*Bridge:*  

Electric, electric, the pulse in the air,  

My mind’s exploding, I’m everywhere,  

Neon rivers, flowing through,  

I’m a particle of light, breaking through.  

*Chorus:*  

There are many colours in my head,  

Spinning round, they never end,  

Every thought a technicolor thread,  

Waves of light, floating instead.  

*Outro:*  

LSD turn me on,  

I’m living in a neon dawn,  

Tracers following me all around,  

In this world of light, I’m unbound.

Chasing dreams in a fleeting game

*Two sides of a paper moon,*  

*Floating softly, drifting soon.*  

*Where the shadows dance and play,*  

*Lines are drawn, but they slip away.*

*(gentle strumming, soft pauses)*

*Faces smiling, faces frown,*  

*In a world that spins around.*  

*Laughter echoes, tears will flow,*  

*What’s the difference? Who can know?*

*(pause, ethereal sounds)*

*Up in the sky, the clouds collide,*  

*While down below, the rivers slide.*  

*We’re all the same, yet worlds apart,*  

*Two hearts beating, one broken heart.*

**(Chorus)**  

*Us and them, a whispered name,*  

*Chasing dreams in a fleeting game.*  

*Divided lines, we walk the same,*  

*In the dark, we’re all to blame.*

*(soft, introspective melody)*

*Warriors clash, with swords of light,*  

*Fighting shadows in the night.*  

*But who’s the enemy, who’s the friend?*  

*In the end, it all will blend.*

*(short pause, building atmosphere)*

*Time keeps ticking, the sun will rise,*  

*We search for truth, beneath the lies.*  

*Yet every heartbeat feels the same,*  

*In the quiet, we play the game.*

**(Chorus)**  

*Us and them, a whispered name,*  

*Chasing dreams in a fleeting game.*  

*Divided lines, we walk the same,*  

*In the dark, we’re all to blame.*

*(soft fade-out, gentle strum)*

*So take my hand, let’s break the chains,*  

*In this dance of joy and pain.*  

*For in the end, it’s all a dream,*  

*Us and them, just a passing theme.*

The Great Gig

The Great Gig 

*Floating high, a feather’s flight,*  

*In the clouds, where dreams ignite.*  

*Voices whisper, soft and clear,*  

*Echoes linger, drawing near.*

*(gentle strumming, soft pauses)*

*The sun spills gold, the shadows play,*  

*While laughter dances, then drifts away.*  

*Moments flash, a spark, a sigh,*  

*Where time stands still, and we can fly.*

*(soft, ethereal sounds)*

**(Chorus)**  

*Up above the world so bright,*  

*In the silence of the night.*  

*With every breath, the stars align,*  

*In the great gig, it’s all divine.*

*(pause, gentle picking)*

*Clouds roll in like whispers sweet,*  

*A tapestry beneath my feet.*  

*Every heartbeat, a cosmic tune,*  

*As the night hums a lullaby to the moon.*

*(short pause, then build up)*

*In the chaos, find your way,*  

*Through the mist, where shadows sway.*  

*All that matters fades away,*  

*In the light of a brand-new day.*

**(Chorus)**  

*Up above the world so bright,*  

*In the silence of the night.*  

*With every breath, the stars align,*  

*In the great gig, it’s all divine.*

*(soft, fading outro)*

*So let it be, as it must go,*  

*In the great gig, we’re free to flow.*  

*With every sigh, a new refrain,*  

*In the sky, we’ll meet again.*

On the Run

On the Run 




*Footsteps echo in a glassy maze,*

*Shapes that flicker, shadows play,*

*Lost and found, I spin around,*

*In circles where no end is found.*




*(pause, scattered strums)*




*Ticket in hand, but nowhere to go,*

*Planes above, they dip down low.*

*A whispered word, then it’s gone,*

*On the run… on the run.*




*(quiet, trailing guitar notes)*




**(Chorus)**

*And I’m spinning, tumbling down,*

*Over fields, through ghostly towns.*

*The sky drops out, I’m falling fast,*

*But the ground just melts to glass.*




*(pause, slow strum)*




*In the distance, engines hum,*

*The race is on, but who has won?*

*Faces blur, then fade away,*

*We run and run and run all day.*




*(choppy, staccato guitar notes)*




**(Bridge)**

*Left and right, the road won’t stay,*

*Shapes dissolve and float away.*

*I laugh, I trip, but there’s no ground,*

*The world is spinning round and round.*




*(soft picking, dreamlike pause)*




**(Chorus)**

*Running, slipping, through the air,*

*Reaching out but there’s nothing there.*

*Lights flash by in threads of red,*

*The path unwinds, the end’s ahead.*




*(pause, echoing guitar)*




*There’s no start and there’s no end,*

*Just circles where the road won’t bend.*

*In a blur, the world spins on,*

*Gone again… on the run.*

Chromatic Dreams

## **“Chromatic Dreams”**

**[Intro – drifting, echoing]**

Purple lights, violet lights

Scarlet flames, I speak your name

Swirling colors in my brain

All dissolving, all the same

---

**[Verse 1 – floating imagery]**

The purple colors spin around

The silence makes a deep, red sound

Blue, black, purple waves collide

Orange and yellow, side by side

Funny fellow in the neon haze

Laughing softly in the maze

Steps are floating, time is slow

Every shadow starts to glow

---

**[Chorus – hypnotic, mantra-like]**

Spin, spin, the colors grow

Through the inner cosmic flow

Feel the lights inside your mind

Leave the world you’ve left behind

---

**[Verse 2 – surreal expansion]**

Emerald rivers drip on gold

Voices hum but never told

Silver trees bend in the breeze

Floating islands over seas

Crimson sparks ignite the air

Every thought becomes a flare

Shapes that twist and start to blend

No beginning, no clear end

---

**[Bridge – layered, dreamy]**

Purple lights, violet lights

Scarlet flames, I speak your name

Blue, black, purple waves

Orange, yellow, funny fellow plays

Gliding through a liquid sky

Laughing stars and wondering why

Every color hums a tone

Every sound becomes your own

---

**[Chorus – repeat, fading]**

Spin, spin, the colors grow

Through the inner cosmic flow

Feel the lights inside your mind

Leave the world you’ve left behind

---

**[Outro – dissolving echo]**

Purple lights, violet lights

Scarlet flames, I speak your name

Spin and spin and let it go

Floating in the chromatic flow…

---

Cosmic Colour Glow

## **Cosmic Colour Glow**

**[Intro – slow, drifting]**

Softly turning, slowly bright

Liquid echoes in the night

Feel the shimmer start to grow

In the cosmic colour glow

---

**[Verse 1]**

There's a cosmic colour glow

Everywhere I go

I have found another world it seems

There where the cosmic colours lie

All around me in the night

Like standing in a land of green

---

**[Refrain – airy, repeating motif]**

Glow… let it flow…

Through the places we don’t know

---

**[Verse 2]**

When the cosmic colour glow

Calls on everyone I know

When the sun sets fire to the sky

And the pleasures drift in air

Flowing through your face and hair

Like a dream that won’t deny

---

**[Instrumental Break – (imagine sitar / reverb guitar / backwards effects)]**

---

**[Verse 3]**

Crimson rivers softly stream

Through the corners of a dream

Where the silent voices start to sing

Shadows painted bright and strange

Always shifting, never same

Every thought begins to ring

---

**[Refrain – extended]**

Glow… let it show…

Everything we never know

Glow… drifting slow…

Where the hidden colours go

---

**[Bridge – hazy / surreal]**

Floating shapes of violet light

Melt the edges of the night

Time is folding in between

What is heard and what is seen

Golden whispers touch the air

Nothing solid anywhere

All dissolves and reappears

Far beyond the weight of years

---

**[Verse 4]**

There's a cosmic colour glow

In the spaces far below

In the places we have never been

Every sound becomes a wave

Every thought begins to cave

Into something in between

---

**[Outro – dissolving / hypnotic]**

There's a cosmic colour glow

Everywhere I go…

Everywhere I go…

Everywhere I go…

Glow… glow… glow…

---

Carousel of the Cloud-Eaters

## **“Carousel of the Cloud-Eaters”**

**[Spoken Intro – loose, dreamy]**

Spin the lantern, don’t let it land

There’s a staircase drawn in sand

Someone whispered, “not this way”

But the floor just floated anyway

---

**[Section I – tumbling rhythm]**

Crack the sky like sugared glass

Let the silver lizards pass

Tiptoe through a velvet hive

Count the clocks that stay alive

Tripwire moonbeams start to sing

Buttons grow on everything

Paper horses gently shout

“Turn yourself and turn about”

---

**[Break – sudden drop / minimal]**

hush now—

the ceiling’s breathing

---

**[Section II – rising, chant-like]**

Up the spiral, down the well

Ring the softly melting bell

Feathered footsteps lose their sound

Circles square and squares go round

Hey now, carry what you can’t

Fold it in a sideways chant

Every maybe, every might

Glows a little in the night

---

**[Hook – repeating, hypnotic but not a chorus]**

Roll me through the painted tide

Let the colours be my guide

Close the map and slip inside

There’s no edge on this ride

---

**[Section III – playful / absurd imagery]**

Teacups chatter, spoons take flight

Dancing forks in boots too tight

Marble kings with jelly crowns

Trade their thrones for upside-downs

A laughing door without a wall

Opens wide but not at all

Candles drip in reverse rain

Lighting shadows just the same

---

**[Bridge – stretched, dreamy drift]**

Was it me or was it you

Or the echo passing through

All the names we never said

Sleeping lightly in our head

Drift a while, don’t ask why

Watch the ground forget the sky

Every step a soft disguise

For the truth that never tries

---

**[Hook – variation]**

Roll me through the painted tide

Let the colours be my guide

Tie the moment open wide

There’s no edge on this ride

---

**[Section IV – rhythmic, almost marching but unstable]**

Tick-tock, the jelly clock bends

Forward falling never ends

One step left and two steps through

Every path divides in two

Lantern fish in treetop seas

Hum in tangled harmonies

Catch a thought and let it go

Watch it bloom and overflow

---

**[Outro – dissolving / cyclical feel]**

Spin the lantern, let it fall

Wasn’t there a floor at all?

Someone laughs behind your name

Nothing leaves the way it came

Roll me through…

roll me through…

roll me through the painted tide…

---

Ticket to Fly

**“Ticket to Fly”**

I think I'm gonna get high

i think it's today yeah

All the things she said are blowing away yeah

Morning light hits different now

No weight pulling me down

All the noise fades into clouds

Feet don’t even touch the ground

I was stuck in yesterday

Running circles in my mind

Now it’s drifting far away

Leaving all that behind

**Chorus**

I’ve got a ticket to fly

And I’m feeling alive

Got the wind at my back

And the sun in my eyes

I’ve got a ticket to fly

No more tears left to cry

Every mile that I go

Lifts me higher inside

Breathing in a clearer view

Sky is open wide

Every thought I outgrew

Falling off with the tide

Nothing heavy left to hold

Nothing left to prove

Just a story being told

In the way I move

**Chorus**

I’ve got a ticket to fly

And I’m feeling alive

Got the wind at my back

And the sun in my eyes

I’ve got a ticket to fly

No more tears left to cry

Every mile that I go

Lifts me higher inside

Floating past the doubt and pain

Let it all release

In this moment I remain

Somewhere close to peace

I think I'm gonna get high

i think it's today yeah

All the things she said are blowing away yeah

killer teddy bears

---

killer teddy bears

(Verse 1)
A wasted and destroyed landscape
Twisting under acid skies
Shadows crawl and colors scrape
Where the empty laughter lies

Screening dancing killer teddy bears
Won’t let me in, won’t let me breathe
Their stitched-up faces leer and stare
And I can’t find the door to leave

(Chorus – trippy, hypnotic)
And now I know it’s never gonna begin
The walls are bleeding, spinning, wearing thin
The monkey cuts his tongue with a razor blade
As the writing on the wall starts to fade… no, starts to bleed

(Verse 2)
Clock hands drip like melting wax
The floor folds under every step
Eyes appear in the ceiling cracks
Every corner holding death

Candles scream with violet tongues
Paper moons shatter in my head
Silver ants march with broken drums
Leading me to the things I dread

(Chorus)
And now I know it’s never gonna begin
The walls are bleeding, spinning, wearing thin
The monkey cuts his tongue with a razor blade
As the writing on the wall starts to bleed

(Bridge – jagged, chaotic, almost spoken)
I reach for a window that isn’t there
The teddy bears grin and tear
Colors twist like broken dreams
Nothing is quite what it seems

(Verse 3)
My hands are floating, not my own
The air is heavy, the ground has grown
Rivers of crimson, violet skies
Mirror cracks reflecting lies

And I can’t escape, I can’t rewind
This labyrinth is in my mind
Every step just pulls me through
To a trip I never wanted to

(Chorus – final, screaming)
And now I know it’s never gonna begin
The walls are bleeding, spinning, wearing thin
The monkey cuts his tongue with a razor blade
As the writing on the wall starts to bleed

(Outro – whispered, fading)
Destroyed landscape, twisted view
The trip is over… but it’s still in you

Distorted View of Red and Blue

Distorted View of Red and Blue**

*(Verse 1)*

Spinning circles on the carpet floor

Whispers crawling through the door

Glass eyes flicker, shadows bend

Time dissolves, it has no end

Candles drip in crooked lines

Rivers hum in electric signs

I float between the walls and sky

Laughing at the reason why

*(Chorus)*

Mind revealing, soul receiving

I can see myself from the ceiling

As I'm dreaming this feeling

An altered state of perception

A distorted view of red and blue

Purple, it’s you

Purple light, violet night

*(Verse 2)*

Tangerine clouds and lemon rain

Tickle softly at my brain

Paper moons spin out of tune

Singing softly to the silver spoon

Velvet rivers twist and slide

Every thought is a butterfly

I hold the sky inside my hand

And watch it slip into the sand

*(Chorus)*

Mind revealing, soul receiving

I can see myself from the ceiling

As I'm dreaming this feeling

An altered state of perception

A distorted view of red and blue

Purple, it’s you

Purple light, violet night

*(Bridge – trippy, spoken/sung)*

Colors melt and bend and bloom

Faces fold inside the room

Echoes of a jellyfish sky

Blinking at the corners of my eye

*(Verse 3)*

Silver ants march up the wall

The shadows tumble, rise, and fall

Every note a golden thread

Weaving patterns in my head

Floating sideways through the sound

Gravity has lost its ground

Time drifts lazy, slow and new

As I’m tangled in the purple hue

*(Chorus – repeat, swelling)*

Mind revealing, soul receiving

I can see myself from the ceiling

As I'm dreaming this feeling

An altered state of perception

A distorted view of red and blue

Purple, it’s you

Purple light, violet night

*(Outro – whispering, fading)*

Red and blue, twist and turn

Purple light, I’ll never learn

Violet night, take me through

The distorted view of you…

---

I Give Up

**I Give Up**

*(Verse 1)*

I give up on Jesus, I give up on God

I’ve been climbing mountains made of sand and sod

I’ve been looking for answers, they’re nowhere to be found

All the voices I hear just keep running me down

I give up on this life, can’t carry the weight

Every road I take just leads to the gate

The system is laughing, it’s choking my mind

I’ve been punching the air and I’m running out of time

*(Chorus)*

I give up! I give up!

No light in the night, no stars in my sky

I give up! I give up!

All the reasons I knew just passed me by

*(Verse 2)*

I give up on who I am, who I thought I could be

Every mirror I see just betrays me

I’ve been chasing shadows, I’ve been chasing lies

I’ve been swallowing fire and spitting out cries

I give up on trying to find out why

All the questions I asked just make me sigh

The walls are closing, the sky’s turning gray

I’ve been screaming to heaven, it’s fading away

*(Chorus)*

I give up! I give up!

No light in the night, no stars in my sky

I give up! I give up!

All the reasons I knew just passed me by

*(Bridge – raw, spoken)*

I’ve been holding on, I’ve been falling apart

Every beat of my heart feels like a broken dart

The world keeps spinning, it doesn’t care

I’m bleeding inside, but nobody’s there

*(Verse 3)*

I give up on laughter, I give up on love

I’ve been crawling through the dirt, the sky above

I give up on freedom, I give up on dreams

Life isn’t as kind as it once seemed

I give up on fighting, I give up on pain

I’ve been dancing in circles in the pouring rain

I give up on hope, I give up on fear

All that I wanted has disappeared

*(Chorus – shout it out, build fury)*

I give up! I give up!

No light in the night, no stars in my sky

I give up! I give up!

All the reasons I knew just passed me by

*(Outro – quiet, bitter, drawn out)*

I give up… I give up…

I give up… on everything…

I give up…

I give up…

I give up on Jesus

I give up on God

I give up…

I give up on this life

I give up…

I can’t carry on no more

I can’t fight the system no more

All the walls are closing in

All the doors are locked again

I give up!

I give up!

I give up on who I am!

I give up!

I give up!

I give up on trying to find out why!

I gave my heart

I gave my hope

I ran and ran, I couldn’t cope

The sky is grey

The streets are cold

Everything I touch turns old

I can’t carry on no more

I can’t fight the system no more

All the noise is in my head

All the dreams are hanging dead

I give up!

I give up!

I give up on who I am!

I give up!

I give up!

I give up on trying to find out why!

Why? Why? Why?

The world’s a cage and I’m the bird

Flying blind and never heard

I gave it all and it’s not enough

I gave it all, I give up…

I give up!

I give up!

I give up on who I am!

I give up!

I give up!

I give up on trying to find out why!

I give up…

I give up…

I give up…

No Smoke, No Hope

**No Smoke, No Hope**

*(Verse 1)*

I can’t cope, I’ve lost all hope

Got dope to smoke but I don’t care

Ash on the floor, staring at the door

Wondering why it’s never fair

Hands shaking, head breaking

Nothing left inside my head

Smoke was my friend, it never stayed

Now it’s just a ghost instead

*(Chorus)*

No smoke tonight!

No green light!

Just the ceiling and the pain!

No smoke tonight!

No comfort in sight!

Only silence in my brain!

*(Verse 2)*

It’s not fair when you’re in despair

And nobody’s anywhere

No will, no spare time to feel

Just emptiness in the air

Mind racing, heart pacing

Every minute twice as long

Used to drown it in the haze

Now the silence screams a song

*(Chorus)*

No smoke tonight!

No green light!

Just the ceiling and the pain!

No smoke tonight!

No comfort in sight!

Only silence in my brain!

*(Bridge – fast, jagged)*

Cold room, slow doom

Nothing moving in my head

Throw it away, face the day

Even if it isn’t fair!

Even if it isn’t fair!

*(Verse 3)*

I can’t cope, I’ve lost all hope

Got dope to smoke but I won’t care

Throw it away, face the day

Even if it isn’t fair

Somewhere past the shaking

Past the hollow in my chest

There’s a quiet little whisper

Saying maybe this is best

*(Chorus – repeat, shout it out)*

No smoke tonight!

No green light!

Just the ceiling and the pain!

No smoke tonight!

No comfort in sight!

Only silence in my brain!

Violet Light, Purple Light

Violet Light, Purple Light

Violet light, purple light
Spilling through the ceiling tonight
Dripping down the painted air
Turning shadows into squares

Purple light, violet glow
Whispers where the day can’t go
Laughing in a silver chair
Floating in electric hair

Spin the moon like a vinyl plate
Let the starlight oscillate
Candy clouds and marmalade skies
Blinking through your butterfly eyes

Violet light, purple stream
Running softly through the dream
Tapping on a crystal door
Where the clocks don’t tick anymore

Purple light, violet flame
Calling every hidden name
Pebbles dancing in your shoe
Planets painted cobalt blue

Ride the ripple of a sigh
Watch the paper pigeons fly
Fold the night into a kite
Tie it to the violet light

Purple rivers hum and glide
Tiny galaxies inside
Teacups spinning round the sun
Counting backwards just for fun

Violet light, purple rain
Washing softly through the brain
Jellyfish of neon green
Swimming through the tangerine

Close your eyes and you might see
A ladder growing from a tree
Climb it past the lemon sky
Wave goodbye as you drift by

Violet light, purple sea
Sailing through your reverie
Silver laughter in the breeze
Buzzing softly through the trees

Purple light, violet tide
Rolling gently side to side
Dream machines begin to start
Painting circles in your heart

Violet light… purple light…
Everything is soft tonight.
