The Getaway
The time has come the bags are packed we're on our way
90 miles a hour on the road to forgiveness
I can imagine a place so far
to start anew and to hold on to
What's left behind is no more is gone forever
we can't let the fear distract us. No
We'll get to a place safe for us
We'll get away from it all
From ourselves
Let it last just a little longer
Let the night fall
The moon will show the rest of the way
our destination is liberation
We'll get away from it all
From ourselves
Let it last just a little longer
Let the night fall
The moon will show the rest of the way
This is our chance
To forgive all that we did
And one more time
You and I will be
This is our getaway from all
Let us forgive and start again
Let us forget and start again
Let us hold hands and let the world know
That we are love

When We Are There
Before the rain starts to fall again tonight
We’ll start a fire. We’ll burn our fears away
We’ll start a riot. We’ll scream until we are heard
And once again, let’s make this last forever
Under the colors of autumn
Under the light of stars
We’ll stand up as one you and I
Our eyes light up as we decide to get closer
Our bodies touch. Your skin so soft in my hands
I hold you tight and on my mouth your kiss so sweet
And once again, let’s make this last forever
Under the colors of autumn
Under the light of stars
We’ll stand up as one you and I
I want you to know you make me feel alive

On The Concept Of Money
Is it the right incentive
Distracted by the pursuit of it
Think of the worst atrocity (war comes to mind)
Money is at the root of it
Some people say it’s a tool a technology
I say no it means wellbeing in our society
Money equals freedom. No! Money equals slavedom
Some say
We’ll that’s just competition
Some will make it some will not
To which I say
It’s narrow minded and dumb
It’s fucking dumb!!
We lack imagination and empathy
Selfishness rules industry
Dollar signs on everything
It’s our God to be revered
At the expense of our humanity
Private banks rig the game not caring
That democracy is lost
Our sovereignty is lost
The livelihood of billions turned to dust
We’ll that’s just competition
Some will make it some will not
To which I say
It’s narrow minded and dumb
It’s fucking dumb!!
What we need is introspection

Is It Not Our Choice?
Can’t you see the chaos that we’ve created for ourselves
All the needless suffering
Division is the weapon used against us
And they distract us with their false promises
They blind us with words like “Freedom”
While their laws completely enslave us
How can you not understand
This is our situation
But is it not our choice? x2
Wealth is extracted with the help of armaments
Fear is used to silence
They no longer represent us
Dissidence, dissidence yells the art on the street
There is hope for us and there’s work to do
So stop participating in their old game
And start working towards the change
This system has failed us
But is it not our choice? x2
How can you not understand
This system has failed us
But is it not our choice? x4

Transcend
What is it all about?
Does anyone even know
A scary thought of course
But it's one that haunts us all
Temporary beings we are
Coping with that is so hard
What is the point ? One asks
When one lives to die
As I traverse this path we call existence I
Observe the infinite marvels within it
With billions and billions of stars
I often wonder what we are
Although we call ourselves human
Can't help but think that there is something more to us
But everything isn't so pretty
In this world we have war and poverty
These man made concepts leaves a lot to be desired
Specially for those that are caught in the fire
As I traverse this path we call existence I
Observe the infinite marvels within it
With billions and billions of stars
I often wonder what we are
Although we call ourselves human
Can't help but think that there is something more to us
Some people get depressed by this thought
But not me I will not be distraught
This is what makes life so valuable
And the pursuit of happiness worthwhile
With billions and billions of stars
I often wonder what we are
Although we call ourselves human
Can't help but think that there is something more to us
At the same time it brings great value to
Everything that is good within me and you
And I hope that minds awaken
I surely can't wait for transcendence

Empathy And Love

Empathy And Love
Things aren't so black or white
Many factors contribute to it all
It doesn't mean we'll give up the fight
It just means we've got to get creative
They use mass media manipulation
We use critical thought for its translation
They use hate and fear as their persuasion
We use empathy and love as our salvation
(chorus)
Kindness our method of communication
A machine of mass cooperation
Empathy and Love
Still we don't accept your terms
Of pillaging the earth in the pursuit of wealth
Literally making money off of death
And we're supposed to stay quiet and accept it?
They use mass media manipulation
We use critical thought for its translation
They use hate and fear as their persuasion
We use love and compassion as our salvation
(chorus)
Kindness our method of communication
A machine of mass cooperation
Empathy and Love
I still can't understand
Why we've decided to organize ourselves this way
Where some have so much and
some are left completely in the dark
No matter where you find yourself
In the struggle of your life
Remember that you are love

The Eclipse
From this distance as far as we could see
You pass by shining so bright
Binary stars, orbit that humans can identify
Eclipsing each other
Can you feel the energy?
As we learn where we’re in this universe
How dumb are we?
Using knowledge for collecting coins
You cast a shadow but not quite
Ring of fire on sight
Annular eclipse, the distance is too great as she passes by
Between us and the sun
Can you feel the energy?
As we learn where we’re in this universe
How fucked up are we?
Dividing each other with dogmas and borders
We’ve lost the awe
We don’t look up
Imagination
Is our way out
Can you feel the energy?
As we learn where we’re in this universe
How fucked up are we?
Thinking that weapons will solve it
We’re better than this x2
