outside is void

song lyrics, thoughts, and intentions

Track

I wonder how
it all begins
to glow from within
for the outside world.

I wonder how
with all that sin
one grows from within
towards the outside world.

Now you know I'll reach there.
- reach there
And you know I'll stay.
- then stay
Now I see we'll be carried on.
- carry on

Now I feel you'll reach there.
- reach there
And I know you'll stay.
- then stay
Now you know we'll be carried along.
- carry on

I wonder how
it all begins
to unfold from within
for the outside world.

I see it now
we fall from pride
and burn deep inside
in an endless world.

Now you know I'll reach there [...]

Stones in my shoes,
I will surely bruise
while I walk this path.

But nameless girls promise love,
still got pockets full.
I am barefoot in my head,
I am on a track
to stranger places.

Now you know I'll reach there [...]

Now we know we'll reach there.
And we know we'll stay.
And we know we'll be carried along.

Tail

Here I am, a puzzled man
rejecting all the dues his days demand.

Oh here I am.
I'm just a poor sinner on a toxic road.

So then she falls again
like a shadow on my mind.
I think about her all the time.

Her eyes seem cold and cruel,
and her heart beats slow and slight.
I wonder what is on her mind.

Then again, how could a man
refuse all the highs that she might bring?

Oh then again,
I'm just a poor sinner on a toxic road.

You make me lose myself in your grace.
You tail me in my thoughts and dreams.

In modern times advanced
intensity shapes hearts' desires.
You see me act under control.

Your path runs deep, not far.
Your choice will force the tide.
I wonder what you have in mind.

Then again, how could a man
refuse all the highs that you will bring?

Oh then again,
I'm just a poor sinner on your toxic road.

You make me lose myself in your grace.
You tail me in my thoughts and dreams.
You make me lose myself in your grace.
You tail me in my thoughts and dreams.

I'm lost in your grace.
What can a man do, but follow through?
You make me loose myself in your grace.
What can a man do, but follow through?
What can a man do?

Shine

Well now look at you
in that special hue come alive.

We can make it there
while we're locked in glare.
We will shine.

See us walk through every door.
We don't need this anymore.

So now look at us,
we can make it last if we try.

We can make it there
while we're locked in glare.
We will shine.

Get up, stand straight,
stride long, look strong.

Come on, get up and move on.
Let's pretend to be sound.

You push it all away.
Bring on another show.
And strip it all away.
Find out what really is inside.

We dance, take our chances
till the sun crashes down.
And we shine
till the moon dashes low.

See us walk through every door.
We don't need this anymore.

We dance, take our chances
till the sun crashes down.
And we shine
till the moon dashes low.

Take your chances till the sun crashes down.
Take your chances till the sun crashes down.
Take your chances till the sun crashes down.
Take your chances till the sun crashes down.

Ultimately, the sound and rhythm of words seem more important to me than their meaning.

Shore

molten ice rolls in shimmering - frozen memories sublimate - I am a part of a crystalline shore
there is still time to change
as I am separating myself from the background - new thoughts like clouds - drift bright across the horizon of my mind

Process. I play almost everything manually without hard quantizing and keep redoing takes again and again, basically jamming with myself until it feels right.

Gasoline

Right in my heart
I sense the start
of something beautiful.
From here to there
requires tear.

Gasoline,
take me for a spin.
Concrete future

Move the world.
I smell you on my skin.
Volatile joy

Faint city views,
I gladly choose
from spaces filled with dreams.
From here to there
the cheapest fare

Right now or else
I find myself
in places of extremes.
From here to there
requires tear

Gasoline,
take me for a spin.
Concrete future

Move the world.
I smell you on my skin.
Volatile joy

Orange hits the grey
slowly, all the way.

We feel the kindest air.
Washed out greens, steel machines

Purple fills the sky.
Gently, say good bye.

Unless we travel on,
night will fall, slow us all.

Gasoline,
Take me for a spin
to a concrete future.

Move my world.
I smell you on my skin.
Volatile joy

Blue to Cyan to Orange

Asphalt cracked in the heat
Faded yellow lines
Breaking all designs

Brittle aged constrains
drifting idly along.
Oh what could go wrong?

I would really like to believe
we are going somewhere bright.

And I do really feel
that we are going somewhere right.

B+C+B
O+C+O
[bleached out]
B>C>O

Liar, liar, world on fire.

I would really like to ascend
to the stars tonight.

And for once really feel
that I am going somewhere bright.

We like to make promises that we can't keep.
But that's okay in a world on fire.

But that's okay in a world on fire.
