Everything is make believe
Blue colors turn out to be the
Red to the green to
You’re make believe too
Everything is make believe
Everything is make believe
Imagination
The source for inspiration
You say thoughts matter when they don’t
Birth to creation
Life’s fake and so is death too
You think I’m fiction but I'm not
World wide illusion
My faith is your delusion
You claim to know me but you don’t
Everything is make believe
Blue colors turn out to be the
Red to the green to
You’re make believe too
Everything is make believe
Everything is make believe
Everything is make believe
Everything is make believe
Everything is make believe
Everything is make believe

Early morning as rain is pouring
Along your soggy street
Time is gone and I can’t go on
If everything is make believe
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
Once in a while I’ll crack a smile
And hope for something else
All I’ve seen and all I’ve dreamed
Says music is the best
All my friends can’t understand
They think I’ve lost my mind
The loss of fear when death is near
It makes me feel alive
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you

Hey Now Honey
03:22
|

Once I live inside my memories
I’ll remember what I want
It’s like I’m walking through a web that you’re weaving
I will create my truth when I’m weeping
Why now? Why now has it come down?
You can’t defeat me
Cause I’m living my new life with a meaning
And when I dream of you I’ll be sleeping
Hey now
Hey now honey don’t go now
Been struggling to reach you now
Somewhere somehow
I can’t believe this feeling in me
I can’t conceive of it
The loss of everything
I have to see what’s real in me
You have to tell me
You have to tell me what’s real
Hey now honey
Hey now
Hey now honey where are you?
Why can’t I find you?
The changing weather marks the time and the seasons
Why am I thinking of you?
I have my reasons
Tell me
Tell men that you love me or that you need me
I found that life was quickly soon disappearing
But now that I’m with you I’m reappearing
Hey now
Hey now honey how are you?
You know I need you now
Somewhere somehow
I can’t believe this feeling in me
I can’t conceive of it
The loss of everything
I have to see what’s real in me
You have to tell me
You have to tell me what’s real
Hey now honey
I can’t believe this feeling in me
I can’t conceive of it
The loss of everything
I have to see what’s real in me
You have to tell me
You have to tell me what’s real
Hey now honey

Be a Good Boy

Don’t forget to wash those elbows tonight
Don’t forget to keep them clean
To be the man that travels time and space
Confidence is what you need
To reach a sound that’s inside your head
Close your eyes and go to sleep
To crack a smile and to raise the dead
Happiness is what you need
Don’t go at it alone
It’s all I ask
Don’t go at it alone
Don’t go at it alone
Be a good boy
Be a good boy now
Be a good boy
Be a good boy now
I look at you and you are growing tall
I do not recognize you all
You’re a good boy when you want to be
You’re a good boy just like me
Is it funny how you used to feel?
You did not know what is not real
And now you’re old and now you question me
You question all I’ll ever be
Don’t go at it alone
It’s all I ask
Don’t go at it alone
Don’t go at it alone
You question me
I question you
Be a good boy
Be a good boy now
Be a good boy
Be a good boy now
Be a good boy
Be a good boy now
Be a good boy
Be a good boy now

Blue dolphin in the night
What a sight
A contradiction finds what is what is not right
Constant fear from you
Makes shadows turn from red to blue
I am a dolphin in the night
Turn me up to turn me in
Raise up all my outsides in
Raise me up above your head
It’s you who made me feel undead
On the edge
On the edge
On the edge of a nervous breakdown
On the edge
On the edge
On the edge of a nervous breakdown

As sea water rises
The summer sand
Mumbling God crucifies
The suffering man
On the day of judgement understand
Before it began
You lied you said that you can
You laughed the whole way through
One by one and two by two
You touched the sky
You fell too fast
You fell on your ass
Whats wrong with you?
You’re a god and a monkey too
A prophecy calls out to you
Your destiny’s wrong
You can’t find you place
You can’t feel your face
It’s in your head
So find a different way
Now reach the sky
Create the day
Whats wrong with you?
You’re a god and a monkey Too
You can’t tell me that art isn’t divine
Cause it saved my life
You can look in my eyes
It saved my life
You can’t tell me that art isn’t divine
When It saved my life
You can’t tell me that art isn’t divine
When It saved my life
Once you’ve seen it
You’ll believe it
I’d believe it too
I believe in you
I believe in you
You’re a god and a monkey too
Once you’ve seen it
You’ll believe it
I’d believe it too
I believe in you
I believe in you
You’re a god and a monkey too

In Your Eyes

I can see our future in your eyes
We can live our lives without a surprise
You can call it make believe
But you can’t tell me what I claim to see because
I can see our future
In your eyes
You can tell a story with your smile
It’s the one you’ve been telling for all of your life
You can tell me I’m crazy
But if you don my heart will be breaking because
I can see our future
In your eyes
It’s a matter of moments
Of moments and time
We’ve said goodbye before
iIs quite a lesson it’s the lesson my life
In your eyes
It’s a symptom of balance
To balance a phrase
We’ve said good day before
It’s quite a question it’s the question of my life
You can tell me I’m crazy
But if you don my heart will be breaking because
I can see our future
In your eyes

When It Rains It Pours
03:39

I crossed a river going through the park
I didn’t realize it was getting dark
I saw some friends in the distance but my friends didn’t recognize me
I had changed so much
I had lost my touch with reality
Creativity called me and I rushed to answer the door
You can say that I felt ashamed
When you try your best but your best isn’t good enough or good at all
You still have to stand tall
Cause when it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
An older man then said hi
I looked straight in his eyes and wondered
I had wondered who he was I don’t know it but we met before
My whole world’s an illusion
I just learned how to live with my delusions
I don’t know who I am and I don’t know if I’ll be back again
You can’t say that you know the shame
Not till you made someone else up cause you felt afraid
That sounds insane
Cause when it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
I tried to turn my life around
Should have done it before but we’ll do it now
I’m going to start at it today there are no reasons why I feel this way
You can’t say that you felt the same
Not till you opened yourself up for criticism and denials
There’s no time for smiles
Cause when it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours

Plastic Existence
04:52

You’re alone in a plastic existence
The sinner of the sky
An unknown plastic existence
That’s my perception of time
Food for thought, double crossed
Waking moment, my devotion
Relapse of judgement in motion
In my defense I confess my perception of time
I wished it wasn’t like this
I wished I hadn’t tried
Now I’m standing in the spotlight
I got my life on the line
I’ve counted pigs for before
You were even born
I see you standing in my spotlight
You’re wasting my time
You’re alone in the plastic existence
A sinner of the sky
An unknown plastic existence
That’s my perception of time
What’s the cost of the loss?
Caught a fleeting glimpse of something
My whole world turned to nothing
You took offense with this test
Of my perception of time
You’re searching for an answer
That you’ll never find
There’s too much left to do
Is this the day or the night?
My creation is vibration
If that’s the message you want
It’s such a lonely daunting task
It’s all that I ask
Time’s controlling me
I’m floating on a plastic piece
Out in the ocean or the sea
I feel as plastic as can be with my existence
Time’s controlling me
I’m like a leaf that’s on a tree
I’m blowing out there in the breeze
I feel as plastic as can be with my existence
This is a plastic existence
This is a plastic existence
This is a plastic existence
Plastic Existence
Time’s controlling me
I’m floating on a plastic piece
Out in the ocean or the sea
I feel as plastic as can be with my existence
Time’s controlling me
I’m like a leaf that’s on a tree
I’m blowing out there in the breeze
I feel as plastic as can be with my existence
