(vocoder)
Dream awake, dream away
get up and get up and go ahh)

Dream awake, make no mistake
Strive to be alive most everyday
You can listen stereo or monotone
Mega phone, mellow drone DJ with delay
Relay super surfer high stereo sound

Radio station super space nation fight the foe
This one's about to blow up
I'm two flues over the CooCoo's nest and won't rest
Bless up with no vest with a shield to protect

Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this

wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Some piece of mind from the daily grind

Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
wake up, stand up and jump off to this

Dream awake, dream awake
say, get up and get up and go ah
say, get up and get up and go ah
Oh Dream-a-dream-awake
Dream awake, dream awake
say, get up and get up and go ah
get up and get up and
get up and get up and
Dream awake, dream awake

Find lines to move guys rely on a vision
Filled with rhymes, the room is filled with villains, and ghost
We toast and coast to the next host
Many boast of battles won and the day is fading fast

The work is passed through the self destruction
Why you wanna burn, why you wanna drown?
Why you wanna die by the highway?
The front lines intertwine

Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this

wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Some piece of mind from the daily grind

stand up
yeah wake up, stand up

We'll bounce over beats and rock shows
So fast so slow never know where the day may go
Bounce and we bubble over hills and valleys

We go through the fields of green in between destinies
Or just get high, nah there's no need
No need to feed on the scraps of the enemy
Where's the bad guy on the inside one day I might try


Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this (dream awake)
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
wake up, up, jump off to this

When the time is right
I'll leave this place tonight
Just leave everything behind
It's time to face my life
We'll trail a path across that gap
Slap back through a crack in time
Is anyone on the other side
Seek and you might find

So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there got to go there

Why not give up buck up drop down why not lie down and never wake up give in Give up and don't get up give in to the ground who gives a
She is frozen in time behind the enemy lines in the night time she stares down The highway which way's the right way walking through this world on a tight Rope of memory the door swings both ways in and out in and outside so buckle Up it's gonna be a bumpy ride no
Its gonna be a bumpy ride no

So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there got to go there

I am searchin for the shade of the tree
Heard about it from a tune in the breeze
They say exists on the side of the road
But which road nobody was told (so lo)
All i know is i must find a road that leads where nobody goes (so lo)
Where i can roll down all the windows where the wind blows down those fears And foes (so hi)
So let go of the steering wheel let go let go (so lo)
All i know is i must find a road that leads where nobody goes
Let go of the steering wheel let go let go

So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there got to go there

The world is dyin the world is cryin the world goes blind while the boy is lyin
The house is burnin the children mourning their father's death while world it keeps turning
One more day of pain has passed while he lies in the sand on his back lookin through the cracks in the sky sunsets and all drowns in twilight
The desert stretches on for one more day
The girl pleads to him don't go away
His lips they move but got nothing to say stares blankly threw her face recollection of his brothers as they played
The world is black the earth is cracked a child with no arms lyin on his back no where to go in the middle of this cold in the middle of this earth spinnin out of control
Did i have moments that were worth living for i took the gun they gave me through it down on the floor they chopped off my arms threw me out of the door i am a murderer
Runnin in the desert runnin into the the sun runnin out of blood and i'm goin numb i'm runnin and you're runnin and we're runnin on empty
I'm runnin in this maze till i reach the sea my heart burns up inside of me burnt and charred from this desert heat my heart burns up inside of me and the pain with in is the pain outside the desert right here is a reflection of my life just as brutal as i am the sun me and the desert we are one i am a murderer

Only the dead souls know i'm alive they want me to lie down by their side these are the demons that passed through my life that killed me over a thousand times
I don't run i don't flee i don't fight i don't make fun but don't flex my might i don't act dumb but don't shine my light i sit down on the ground till the time is right
They seek my demise and rely on my dark side to give into the night all those desperate ghosts stuck souls trapped in black holes became wearwolves stolen souls wanna see me bleed
It's a new day a new way, it's gone it's dooms day for those who hold on to old ways your grip is so strong you choke and you swallow and leave the place torn so tread lightly no need to fight me no need to be right it's so frightening soul like dust and flash like lightning i slip through your grip cause you hold so tightly i didn't stop nah i'm just becoming i'm not finished nah i'm just arriving i'm not done don't know where i'm going not afraid not to know and keep growing once you know you're dead and not living and that wisdom to know while your breathing

Sit back
And in these days
Remember my ways
Oh will i get out of my cage?
Yes i am a slave

Searching for some freedom
Searching for some freedom

So intend to sing them
Songs to spark, memories
What is a man with no history?
Where am i ?
Who am i ?
What is this place?,
We're just spinning in space

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light

Time will continue without you
So in the end
Its not about you
But,
What did you do?
Who do you love besides you
Beside you, many died in the name of vanity
Many die,in their mind’s eye, for justice
We die for you
And still do
So i say to you
This is nothing new

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light

Its/In one tiny moment in time
For life to shine, to shine
Burn away the darkness

You’ve got one tiny moment in time
x7 For life to shine, to shine
To burn away the darkness

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light light light light
I will be light
I will be light light light light
