You might as well take me to space,
Because I'm locked in an air tight room.
I might as well fight by your side,
There's no sense in trying to bloom.
I haven't lost myself, no,
But I've found all I can rely on is you, in diamonds.
So let's fight through the night,
Fight each other through the night as well as spaceships out on the horizon.
I'm not, well, I'm not well,
I'm well enough to see real battles and false opportunities,
But I'm not well enough to fight with a means of survive,
and I'm not well enough to just pack up and leave the city.
But I'll follow you far. Surrounding me with space, the stars, the lights, everything.
It's not just yours, and it's not just mine.
Don't take me home,
I'm ready to take you on,
Don't take me up,
On all my offers to give up by dawn.
Fight me on giving up,
And I'll stop giving in,
I'll fight back among the stars,
I'll fight back among the lights within.
Don't take me home just yet,
There's still things I have to do,
There are still worlds out there,
Still planets we haven't gone to.
I'll stop fighting back,
And I'll stop standing up for what's untrue,
And I'll follow you to places we've never seen.
This is how I'll follow through.
Don't take me home,
I'm ready to take you on,
Don't take me up,
On all my offers to give up by dawn.
Fight me on giving up,
And I'll stop giving in,
I'll fight back among the stars,
I'll fight back among the lights within.
Don't take me home just yet,
There's still things I have to do,
There are still worlds out there,
Still planets we haven't gone to.
I'll stop fighting back,

Plenty of times,
No, plenty of rhythms took me by surprise.
I wouldn't say I never recognised your stupid patterns,
And passive little talks, but that's just you leaving me shattered.
"You won't go away." I know you were thinking that,
I wouldn't go away and just give up for someone else, in fact,
I wouldn't go away, it took a great amount of force,
To finally slip out of the tracks and find a new course.
I'm keeping time,
I'm clocking time,
I'm wasting time,
And remembering all these
I'm keeping time,
I'm clocking time,
I'm wasting time,
I'm remembering all these shitty little lies
I'm wasting time.
I kept time.
I kept time.
Taking it all out on my own watch,
I wasted time and I'm taking it out on my own watch.
My father and my brother found I don't stand.
Both lost reason to trust my hands,
And now clocks pushing forward, in honesty alone.
Only tend to tell time from different zones.
My precious little gifts, that I thought I owned,
Only fought me back, tied me up and stoned me.
Hey! I'm not pushing back,
I'm not winding back, because I'm still keeping time.
Hey! I'm not falling back,
I'm not falling back on the words I spoke before.
I'm not falling back on all the promises I made,
Because I'm still keeping time and the future's mine to make.
The futures mine to make.

Spoopy Ghost!

I'm not dreaming anymore.
I don't mean night dreams,
I mean that I know this is all real.
I've never seen reality this clear before.
I've never known what to do.
That's why the world has lead me so far off course in the past.
And I was left with only haunted pasts and things I couldn't change.
And it fragmented what was in front of me.
Every dream and goal was so close,
But I couldn't help but wonder if my wandering past killed any chance of ever reaching forward.
And I always reached forward.
But now theres nothing to reach forward for.
Because I'm at the end of the path and I'm not dreaming,
I'm not dreaming anymore.
Fragments of me are here. And fragments of me are behind me,
But the better fragments of me are here.
And that's how I know that this is where I'm supposed to be.
Here I am. I'm not dreaming anymore.
In front of me is a ghost.
I've reached a ghost that is aware of my existence,
But still seems to just stare right through me.
In stillness it stares straight through me.
And in this moment with this ghost I'm unaware of death,
I'm unaware of fear and torment,
I'm unaware of rain splashing around me,
Or turmoil streaming from my eyes down my cheek.
I want to move past this point in the path,
But i know that this is where I need to be.
The ghost jumps forward an inch, quickly,
And glitching back and forth.
I can't move my feet, my heart skips beats,
But still manages to pound faster than it's ever pounded before.
This fluorescent, glowing blur speaks,
But it's words jitter right through me.
The language it speaks isn't something I understand.
And now I am afraid.
I've travelled far to be here, and I know that this is where I'm meant to be.
But the language is hard for me to understand.
Maybe I wasn't ready yet.
Or maybe I took the wrong steps to be where I am now.

I couldn't say it.
I lost all my words.
Some place in my system,
Those words were in chords,
And in a moment,
I would just give in,
I could not find words
to stop this from... Beginning.
In a moment I was flashed into silence,
Because I had no words to fight it out.
I stepped forward and found myself falling.
I screamed, but was the only one who heard me shout.
I couldn't say it.
I lost all my words.
Some place in my system,
Those words were in chords,
And in a moment,
I would just give in,
I could not find words
to stop this from... Beginning.
Forward thinking, always had me,
Running out of hello's.
Forward motions, had me spinning,
Running into goodbyes,
Forward flashes, had me thinking,
About what wasn't to come,
And backwards thoughts, had me falling,
And falling, and falling, and falling, and falling, and falling etc.

Entitlement

Remember those times that we could make our own?
Remember the world could fit right into our pockets?
Remember when we thought everything was known,
To us, and that was when entitlement was placed into shadow boxes?
Remember when I told you I had lost everything I owned?
Remember when you told me you'd still stand calmly by my side?
Remember when you said entitlement days weren't disowned,
And that we could wash our feet off in the water tide?
That was when I held you,
That when your arms held me too.
That was when I wanted you,
To conquer the world with me too.
That was when I held you,
That when your arms held me too.
That was when I wanted you,
To conquer the world with me too.
I got the world,
I've got the world,
Entitlement day's aren't over,
Now I've got the world,
i've got the world
