Drifters
there's nothing here, of what has been
the dust has covered everything
this idol, once the pride of man
the guardian of this desert land
the remnants of a long gone past
these cities weren't built to last
they're slowly sinking in the sand
the guardian makes her final stand
the shadow of a closing storm
we gather up, and then we're gone
the memories we leave behind
are droplets in the sea of time
now hurry up, we've got to go
we can't afford to take it slow
so close your mouth, protect your eyes
how long before you realise
we're drifters pushing onwards
in this landscape of decay
just two lost souls moving forward
live to breathe another day
safe and sound, but where's our hope
the space around us only slopes
there's toxic, radioactive waste
the feelings that we can't replace
now hurry up, we've got to go
escape this dream we can't let grow
so close your eyes, open your mouth
and take a look, erase your doubts
we're drifters, pushing onwards
trying to find our paradise
just two lost souls moving forward
while we lie here paralyzed
now hurry up, we've got to go
we can't afford to take it slow
so close your mouth, protect your eyes
how long before you realise
we're drifters, pushing onwards
trying to find our paradise
just two lost souls moving forward
while we lie here paralyzed
we're drifters, pushing onwards
through these shades of washed out grey
just two lost souls moving forward
while we slowly drift away
Ecstasy
Ooo, a aaa
Ooo, a aaa
Ooo, a aaa
Ooo, a aaa
I feel the walls closing in
the orchestra is set to begin
a symphony faintly heard on the wind
how does the world around me appear to spin
if I cannot move, can I ever win
I throw my plastic life in the recycle bin
somewhere, anywhere,
get me there, I don't care
everywhere is in my head
the moon above me turning red
little flower in disguise
feeling low when you are high
trying to rationalize
easy peasy medium size
it's ecstasy
ecstasy
you know it's ecstasy
e e e ecstasy
are you free? (I don't know)
reality (is creeping up)
are you me? (I'm not sure)
who do you want to be? (okay, now stop)
do you dream? (I don't know)
ecstasy (flows through my mind)
can you see? (I have no eyes)
what do you mean (I think I'm blind)
it's ecstasy
ecstasy
you know it's ecstasy
e e e ecstasy
it's ecstasy (are you losing control)
to anxiety (is life taking it's toll)
do you feel relief (are you able to tell)
have you found your peace (is it something you sell)
now don't start thinking that you're just gonna die
cause you have to keep on dreaming if you want to stay alive
you know that fear is a friend that is telling the truth
so when confronted by reality, what are you gonna do
it's ecstasy (ecstasy, sodomy, lobotomy and anarchy)
ecstasy (ecstasy, sodomy, lobotomy and anarchy)
you know it's ecstasy (ecstasy, sodomy, lobotomy and anarchy)
e e e ecstasy (ecstasy, sodomy, lobotomy and anarchy)
I can't stop thinking of you
I can't stop thinking of you
I can't stop thinking of you
I can't stop thinking of you
Raising The Alarm
[Instrumental]
Jellyfish
I'd like to be
a jellyfish, floating free
pushing through the waves
chilling by myself in a deep sea grave
drift ashore with the tide
it's hard to breathe but I'm still alive
forget myself within this ocean
protected by this strange sun lotion
I'd like to be
someone who faces destiny
an astronaut
noone hears me when I shout
imagine talking to the stars
I wish I could escape to mars
floating free through this space
crashing hard on my face
I enter through the atmosphere
sometimes I wish I wasn't here
but when you're floating next to me
will we ever be
you squish me like a jellyfish
my genie will you grant my wish
In the Shadow of a Fleeting Moon
is this the dream you meant to lend me?
this sour transition from your night to dawn
I never thought of you as twisted
but when you made us all your pawns
I finally see the thorns you spoke of
the agonizing pain you meant
the darkness as the sun corroded
this dream was not one to be lent
but how can you pretend to love me
when I don't even love myself
I used to wish I was just like you
but now I wish for someone else
the day before the sun came crawling
back into the chambers of an empty moon
we sat back as the sky came falling
downs from the mattress spread out with a plume
we tried to map out all the unknowns
in the calm before the beast awoke
I thought this was the perfect headrest
so soothing were the words you spoke
so when you say you really love me
as I hide behind this see-through shawl
will you offer up your shoulder for me
and can I let my feelings sprawl?
and I've been thinking of a world
where there's no sun
a world without a surface where
we fall, but never hit the ground
and I've been having dreams
I can't remember what they mean
we run, we fall, we crawl, we stumble
forward, forward and we scream
I scream
Icecream
the summer's nearly here
Anthony the Dragon
Anthony, the dragon
was holed up in his cave
he should have switched to normal
but corruption took his save
Anthony, the dragon
did you hear about him too?
lately he's been hooked on grass
and all he says is moo
anthony, the dragon
no need to be so wary
his arguments lack punch
cause he just wants to be contrarian
Anthony the dragon
Can't stand his cockatoo
She lives inside his eardrum
And the rent is overdue
Anthony, the dragon
has barely left his home
got stuck in conversation
with his little garden gnomes
Anthony the dragon
Has lost his perfect pitch
The cuckoo took it yesterday
And now he claims it's his
Anthony, the dragon
Hey, have you seen his tail?
He's tried to stop the jittering
But oh, to no avail
anthony, the dragon
behold his powers gained
went searching for secluded monks
spent 15 years to train
Anthony the dragon
Is feeling ill at ease
His cockatoo has flown away
Across the seven seas
anthony, the dragon
his pride has made him vain
pretending to be holy
but his his shirt has got a stain
Anthony, the dragon
now has nothing left but fumes
his claws can't rip, his fangs can't bite
and he's addicted to legumes
anthony, the dragon
was used to being scary
now his wings can't lift him anymore
and he's no longer legendary
Drifters - Remix
there's nothing here, of what has been
the dust has covered everything
this idol, once the pride of man
the guardian of this desert land
the remnants of a long gone past
these cities weren't built to last

the guardian makes her final stand
the shadow of a closing storm

the memories we leave behind

now hurry up, we've got to go
we can't afford to take it slow
so close your mouth, protect your eyes
how long before you realise
we're drifters pushing onwards
in this landscape of decay
just two lost souls moving forward
