Out From the Ether

This was our last chance to save our home
It's clear now we have failed the planet
But by some universal lottery we have received
A transmission, out from the ether
We believe it's from a higher benevolent life form
We refer to it as the Cosmos Guide
Encoded in the message was a blueprint
For a machine, a living ship: the Solar Glider
But after we finished it I, I got sick
I cannot account for the last six months
Since my breakdown
I have not been able to reconnect
My memories are distorted
I just can't watch the suffering anymore
So I'm taking the Solar Glider
I'll forgo this Splintered sphere
I'll find it
I'll find the Cosmos Guide
I know you'll understand
|

I recall a few hours yonder
Blood coming out the TV
And as it filled the room I wondered
The next time it just might be me
But now as I cleave
To the hyperdrive shifter
Light bending swift
I'm an interstellar drifter
I know now
It won't be me
Carve it out
Let the stars fill up the wounds inside
Carve it out
Let the suns dry up the tears we've cried
Carve it out
Let the moons pull in the wounding tides
Carve it out
Let the galaxies equip your mind
With a coordinate line
To the Cosmos Guide

The sound shifts low
Into a subatomic hum
I can't see the minute hand
It feels like the hourglass
Is picking up sand
And I fear my hands
Are moving slowly now
To the void
That's growing loud
|
||||
4. |

|
Step through
It feels right
No, it won't be the same
So you can let down the fight
And let loose
and be free
And we'll celebrate the change
with a Cryo-release

Solar Glider

The problem with trying to stay young
Is you gotta redefine the breeze
When your sail's taut but tattered and torn
You gotta utilize the seas
But all is irrelevant now
Due to the Solar Glider
Gone are the bindings of my infancy
No more my mind in infirmaries
Just shifting in parallax
Trying to relax these lucid dreams
A cascade of silence
In Event Horizons
They comfort me
Because all is irrelevant now
All is irrelevant now
Because all is irrelevant now
Due to the Solar Glider
We, we will not lose ground
Until the sun breaks down
We'll ride its supple waves
Through neon shades of grey
Until it fills our veins
And we're enraptured by the sound
Of a beating newborn heart
We will not lose ground

Giant
04:21
|

|
Squinting through the glass
The stars no longer coming forward
I am being pulled in
The ultraviolet
Is becoming ultra-violent
And the Giant is black
With distrust
Try and compensate
The bearing is critical
And I hope I'm not too late
Please align my mind
And carry me to a time
Of slightly behind
I'm blacking out on the inside
The pressure is mounting
A transfer of breath
To the outside
And I'm fading fast
Oh, where's the alliance
Please accept my reliance
And restore the silence
To the rivets of this buckling hull
Try and compensate
The bearing is critical
And I hope I'm not too late
Please align my mind
And carry me to a time
Of slightly behind

The last night
I entered facedown
In a strobed light
Sifting through the aggregates
In the hopes to find
The one that cancels out
The strychnine
And as swift as an open steed
She atrophied
And cried into the night
Do you feel the detriment
The discontent
My heart is an open seam
So I said take this vial down
And let it concentrate
Let it calibrate
And give you another day
|
||||
8. |

|
A pulsing pattern speaks
Inviting me
To a treasure vailed
Beyond my keep
I never thought I'd have
To choose between
The soft and the silver gleam
The ladders down
On the port side
You left a trail
I assume
I'm sorry I won't be there
To introduce you
But I promise
She's lovely and fair
Break it to her gently
Break it to her gently
Break it to her gently
Break it to her gently

Horizons
04:13
|

|
Inside I say she's gone
Why do we chance to regret
Our hearts to a vacancy
No subtle dreams for me
In time I know the rains
They will change to a mist
Instead of the deluging
I tell you I can't wait to breathe
So place your mind
Above a field of empty space
Don't let the absence
Pull you down
And when you feel a change
To even planes of temperament
Then you know you've traded
If for now, so so long.
Let's stay this decay
Let's not let your memories betray you
Can you in confidence say
I'm not a hero delayed
Your steps we'll retrace
In the arms of an awkward embrace
And in silence when the void takes you in
Then the heart will replace
So should I stay or go
How can I betray
This heavy toll
I'll keep my mistakes
In the burning behind
Just let the embers multiply
And place your mind
Above a field of empty space
Don't let the absence
Pull you down
And when you feel a change
To even planes of temperament
Then you know you've traded
If for now, so so long
Don't let the absence
Pull you down
Pull you down
Pull you down
Don't let the absence
Pull you down
Pull you down
Pull you down
Don't let the absence
Pull you down
Pull you down
Pull you down

Awkward Embrace
04:25
|

|
How do you great life
With an awkward embrace
How do you see time
When you're forward in space
The freedom feels fine
Because it's all been arranged
So little children
Don't be afraid
I know what's on your mind
You got to separate yourself
From that same old line
I promise you she'll be fine
So now pull the ring out to six
And the prisms to nine
The freedom feels fine
Because its all been arranged
So little children
Let's disengage
