Hypersensitive 05:34
lyrics
buy track
I woke up cold I feel older than I was when I started this song I feel every second of my life ticking by I feel every single little molecule inside I see colours within colours I got hypersensitivity of the skin I feel neutrons in the atoms in the air That I’m breathing in I can hear the rush of blood flowing through my veins I see fractals, patterns in the stains I can sense the emptiness within the graves I can see a smile on the faces of the spirits that remain I can taste the cold enamel on my teeth I can touch that cotton cloud that’s out of reach I hear music in the crashing of the waves I can hear the cells exploding in my brain I see colours within colours But could somebody please tell me What’s my name? I don’t remember my name

In a Movie 03:51

A young boy with a gun in his hand He grew up on Rambo now he plays in the sand Dodging bullets and landmines but he doesn’t mind He lives the life of his hero A young girl she’s as pretty as nature intended She heads to a doctor to get herself amended She just has to have the nose Of that latest movie queen We design plastic girls and boys like we’re in a movie Make futuristic toys like we’re in a movie We pretend we have a choice like we’re in a movie Fight to be the loudest voice like we’re in a movie We flex our muscles over soil like we’re in a movie If we don’t like it we destroy it like we’re in a movie Drop bombs like they’re toys like we’re in a movie And hear music in the noise like we’re in a movie A technological genius mastermind Built a robot that can mimic mankind But not to worry, we’re assured It’s for the good of our future plans A secret agent used to be an elite breed of man Now we’ve got most of Bonds gadgets in the palm of our hand There’s no point trying to hide ‘Cause we can find you at the click of a button We design plastic girls and boys like we’re in a movie Make futuristic toys like we’re in a movie We pretend we have a choice like we’re in a movie Fight to be the loudest voice like we’re in a movie We flex our muscles over soil like we’re in a movie If we don’t like it we destroy it like we’re in a movie Drop bombs like they’re toys like we’re in a movie And hear music in the noise like we’re in a movie Word on the street was that he’d never get the power Until they got to that final hour And along with it Came a shocking twist in the plot Social media, political media Has blended into one He just wants to keep having his fun Wants to keep playing with his gun We design plastic girls and boys like we’re in a movie Make futuristic toys like we’re in a movie We pretend we have a choice like we’re in a movie Fight to be the loudest voice like we’re in a movie We flex our muscles over soil like we’re in a movie If we don’t like it we destroy it like we’re in a movie Drop bombs like they’re toys like we’re in a movie And hear music in the noise like we’re in a movie

Whenever I think of the state of the world these days I have to hold my head in shame ‘Cause we can’t keep passing the blame We all have to take our share Of the responsibility It’s not just them, it’s not just you and me It’s everybody The whole of humanity We’ve all gotta take a step back Just take a look at what we’ve created Take a second to think about what you could do To make things better Just one little gesture One selfless act is all it would take And if we all play our part It’ll snowball into a massive change And that snowball will grow into an avalanche The people won’t be able to escape They’ll fail to outrun the need to do good And that need will become a craze And we’ll be forced to change our ways ‘Cause you all know we can’t resist the need To follow the latest fashion The world is a pretty place if we let it be The pretty place it was meant to be A pretty place for you and me The world is a pretty place if we let it be The pretty place it was meant to be A pretty place for you and me But it’s looking pretty ugly right now Everybody just out for themselves But the need to be driven by greed was started Way back in history The desire to have more and more is what became the snowball Which soon became an avalanche Unescapable, do you see my point It’s monkey see, monkey do so let’s do some good Make a change Rearrange your way of thinking I see what you’re thinking “Does this mean I’ve gotta give up all of my money and my toys?” Not at all, just make a little noise For all the future little girls and boys Now let’s get this snowball rolling, one good deed a day Is all it’ll take Just imagine if everybody in the whole of the world Caught on to this craze Wouldn’t that be great? Wouldn’t that be great? The world is a pretty place if we let it be The pretty place it was meant to be A pretty place for you and me The world is a pretty place if we let it be The pretty place it was meant to be A pretty place for you and me The world is a pretty place if we let it be The pretty place it was meant to be A pretty place for you and me The world is a pretty place if we let it be The pretty place it was meant to be A pretty place for you and me

In My Element 03:59

I smell the salt coming from the sea I smell the flowers floating on the breeze I hear the birds singing in the trees I see the colours in the new born leaves I'm coming out to play I'm in my element I feel so alive I'm ready to fly I feel a burn so I shade my eyes I can't help but smile as the butterflies are Coming out to play I'm in my element I feel so alive I'm ready to fly I'm coming out to play I'm in my element I feel so alive I'm ready to fly I'm ready to fly I catch a smile on a strangers face Adrenalin rush kicks in, there's no time to waste I'm coming out to play I'm in my element I feel so alive I'm ready to fly I'm coming out to play I'm in my element I feel so alive I'm ready to fly I'm ready to fly I'm in my element I feel so alive Under a summer sky

I used to consider myself a bit of a creature of the night The darkness seemed a safer place to hide away I avoided the dawn for years, even though I knew it wasn’t right It’s hard to let go of the comfort of familiar pain I’m chasing, I’m chasing the light I’m chasing, I’m facing the light It’s time to step out of the shade and let the sun stroke my face I’m not sure if I’m ready but I’m holding on to this bravery I’m wanting to fold but I’m managing to stand upright I’m not giving in to the calls and advances from the moon tonight I’m chasing, I’m chasing the light I’m chasing, I’m facing the light I’m chasing, I’m chasing the light I’m chasing, embracing the light
