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.

Purple Mountains

**Purple Mountains**

**Verse 1**

Purple mountains, amber sky

Waves of sound flowing by

Rolling Stone, drifting free

Native American spirit guiding me

Mystic wisdom in the breeze

Whispering through the swaying trees

Colors shimmer, twist, and bend

Journey through a world that has no end

**Chorus**

Purple mountains, amber sky

Close your eyes, let your mind fly

Waves of sound, the river calls

Mystic visions through cosmic halls

**Verse 2**

Rolling Stone, hear the song

Ancient echoes moving strong

Native drums beat under moonlight

Guiding souls through the endless night

Mystic wisdom, secrets unfold

Stories of the young and old

Waves of sound, a sacred trance

In this kaleidoscope, we dance

**Chorus**

Purple mountains, amber sky

Close your eyes, let your mind fly

Waves of sound, the river calls

Mystic visions through cosmic halls

**Bridge**

Floating on a prism tide

Time dissolves, worlds collide

Colors drip from every tree

Native chants set the spirit free

**Chorus / Outro**

Purple mountains, amber sky

Close your eyes, let your mind fly

Waves of sound, the river calls

Mystic visions through cosmic halls

Direct Flight to Neptune

**Direct Flight to Neptune**

**Verse 1**

Pass me Dr. Who’s stethoscope

Pass me Galileo’s telescope

Pass me a bag full of dope

The beat of my heart is about to dance

As I’m slipping into a trance

A psychedelic vision of the mid-60’s

On a direct flight to Neptune

**Chorus**

Lost in Cyberspace, we die by candlelight

We are healed by the daylight

Just the same as you, just the same as you

Colors bending, everything feels new

**Verse 2**

Stars drip like liquid gold

Time unravels, stories unfold

Neptune’s oceans swirl in electric hues

Galaxies spiral in my mind’s own muse

Pass me Dr. Who’s stethoscope

Pass me Galileo’s telescope

Every heartbeat a fractal, every thought a scope

Slipping deeper into cosmic hope

**Chorus**

Lost in Cyberspace, we die by candlelight

We are healed by the daylight

Just the same as you, just the same as you

Colors bending, everything feels new

**Bridge**

Tripping through the echoes of neon rain

Mid-60’s visions pulsing in my brain

Floating on a wave that the cosmos made

Slipping through dimensions where the colors fade

A bag full of dope, telescopes, and light

We dance in the stars, lost in the night

**Chorus / Outro**

Lost in Cyberspace, we die by candlelight

We are healed by the daylight

Just the same as you, just the same as you

On a direct flight to Neptune, everything’s true

Pass me Dr. Who’s stethoscope

Pass me Galileo’s telescope

A psychedelic trance where the mind can elope

**Direct Flight to Neptune (Mantra Version)**

**Chant / Verse 1**

Pass me Dr. Who’s stethoscope, stethoscope

Pass me Galileo’s telescope, telescope

Pass me a bag full of dope, full of dope

The beat of my heart is about to dance, dance

Slipping into a trance, into a trance

A psychedelic vision of the mid-60’s, mid-60’s

On a direct flight to Neptune, flight to Neptune

Colors melt, the stars all swoon, all swoon

**Chorus / Mantra**

Lost in Cyberspace, lost in Cyberspace

We die by candlelight, we die by candlelight

We are healed by the daylight, healed by the daylight

Just the same as you, just the same as you

**Chant / Verse 2**

Pass me Dr. Who’s stethoscope, stethoscope

Pass me Galileo’s telescope, telescope

Every heartbeat a fractal, fractal

Every thought a scope, a scope

Slipping deeper in cosmic hope, cosmic hope

Neptune’s oceans swirl in electric hues, electric hues

Galaxies spiral in my mind’s own muse, own muse

Floating through the light, there’s nothing to lose, nothing to lose

**Chorus / Mantra**

Lost in Cyberspace, lost in Cyberspace

We die by candlelight, we die by candlelight

We are healed by the daylight, healed by the daylight

Just the same as you, just the same as you

**Bridge / Trance**

Bag full of dope, telescopes, and light, light

Dancing in the stars, lost in the night, night

Tripping through echoes of neon rain, neon rain

Mid-60’s visions pulsing in my brain, brain

**Outro / Fade**

Pass me Dr. Who’s stethoscope, stethoscope

Pass me Galileo’s telescope, telescope

On a direct flight to Neptune, flight to Neptune

Colors melt, the stars all swoon, all swoon

Darth Vader, Space Invader

**Darth Vader, Space Invader**

**Verse 1**

Darth Vader, the space invader

Floating through stars like a neon crusader

Galaxies twist while I drift on the vapor

Mind expanding, reality’s a caper

Cosmic visions in kaleidoscope layers

Lights flicker wild in electric prayers

**Chorus**

Darth Vader, space invader

Riding the waves like a neon crusader

Colors explode, the universe wavers

Lost in the night with my cosmic savior

**Verse 2**

Laser beams cut through shadowed skies

Planets spin like the truth in disguise

Darth Vader, the space invader

Psychedelic dreams make me a crusader

Gravity bends, I’m weightless, I’m stranger

Time loops around in a rainbow danger

**Chorus**

Darth Vader, space invader

Riding the waves like a neon crusader

Colors explode, the universe wavers

Lost in the night with my cosmic savior

**Bridge**

Stars hum songs that vibrate my spine

Echoes of futures that’ll never be mine

Darth Vader, space invader

Pushing the limits, I’m a neon crusader

Mind on fire, perception on fire

Every moment burns higher and higher

**Chorus / Outro**

Darth Vader, space invader

Riding the waves like a neon crusader

Colors explode, the universe wavers

Lost in the night with my cosmic savior
