Paradise I 05:52
Our home we can't deny Has shed her tear for sin Eternal days that call your name Are lost into the wind ​ It's getting hard to breathe And harder to think Of where we could be by now ​ But we should be dead This time around We should be dead this time around ​ Oh no, oh yeah Welcome to Paradise Here's your Paradise ​ Another trip around the sun Watch the forest recede Displacing the many souls That were here before you and me ​ It's getting hard to breathe And harder to wonder Where we could be by now ​ But we should be dead This time around We should be dead this time around ​ Oh no, oh yeah Welcome to Paradise Here's your Paradise ​ Smoke has filled the toxic air For 91 long days All I need is some reprieve From our reckless ways ​ Can't you see all the loss Is heedless and it's cold There's a place down below For your very soul ​ It's getting hard to breathe And harder to think Of where we could be by now ​ But we should be dead This time around We should be dead this time around ​ Oh no, oh yeah Welcome to Paradise Here's your Paradise ​ This is your Paradise This is your Paradise, oh yeah Oh no, welcome to Paradise Here's your Paradise

Oasis 29 04:20
Failed forces arise from the dust Of disappointed youth They call to arms the unknown ​ They come and go taking life To fuel their neon fire That runs around your head ​ Oceans rise and fall Like a misdirected moon That sinks too soon ​ Soon your eyes will shine With the light of a thousand suns It'll shine on and on ​ The ice runs hot in your blood Like a devil in disguise Or a moth to a flame Things will never change ​ He only wants to be reborn But sometimes fate won't take the chance On intention misunderstood ​ Failure comes and goes But this one's here to stay Do you care anyway ​ We had hope but now it's lost In vanity's lust for gold And now I hope for something more ​ With meaning tossed to the side Like we never learned to care For each other ​ A million years until the sun Blows us all away Now look at what you've done

Try to get away From the neon lighting The home that we once built Is water in the sand ​ Sinking underneath Everything we cling to We're drowning in the deep So let's try to start anew ​ Oh, just so you know Everything we touch Will always seem to fade away and die There's no escaping, it's just you and I And destruction of humankind ​ So go and grab your clothes And the will of resurrection Just try to shut your eyes And know we'll be there soon ​ It's time to see this place Fade into the distance Our future lies ahead Beyond this star-scathed world ​ Oh, just so you know Everything we touch Will always seem to fade away and die There's no escaping, it's just you and I And destruction of humankind

These Chains 06:08
Along the lost horizon There's a distant shot at freedom Breaking down the borders That keep my heart in line ​ Pushing on the mountains Leaves swell until they're tangled Busting through the boundaries Implanted years ago ​ Chained and stuck in motion Our intentions are revealed I realize that hope Won't keep my hands clean ​ These chains may be forgotten But they cannot be forsaken Until the day comes When their rattle turns to dust ​ Now the dust turns to quicksand And we cannot escape Destined to return to The desert of our defeat ​ Moments turn to minutes And minutes turn to memories Not a day goes by That won't leave us behind ​ We have to make a decision Do we stay or do we fight Remain with the ordinary Or try to leave it behind ​ Leave it behind Leave it behind Leave it behind

The dichotomy between reality and fantasy acts as an inspirational wellspring for his psychedelic rock creations. These ideas come crawling out of each song, so that their story may be heard. ... more
