1. Just a #

Just a #


(glitch thoughts from the mental hospital)


White walls
Magnetic doors
They’ve numbered me
I feel no more

Observe me
I am a rat
Rotted mind
They don’t like that

2. I Was Revived

I Was Revived


(escapism vs. gravity)


I don’t wanna go back to that place
Where my fingernails scratch like razor blades
On the pavement
As I’m dragged back
Into the darkness

I was revived
I was out but now I’m slipping back

I don’t wanna feel all numb inside
Cause you pump me with those pills
To keep me high
Lay that white sheet over my mind
It doesn’t help my problem
It just buys time

I was revived
I was out but now I’m slipping back

3. a Wave of

a Wave of


(facing the ghost)


How do I carry on
With a ghost from the past?
Ripping away
What I call me
So it cannot last

Taking what is mine
And making it their own
I do not know what to do
I’m scared and alone
I’m scared and alone

4. Amnesia That I Remember

Amnesia That I Remember


(dissociation​/​strobes of hope for the future)


Sweep the dirt off of the floor
I look back there was more than before
A bottomless problem that will always sustain
A vicious mess that is hard to contain

Where do I dispose these feelings?
Got to get them out there killing
Sweep them under the rug right there!

The past is receding
My minds bleeding pictures that attack me
And I don’t like it
Not one bit

Don’t look back cause
It will stop us
From going further then

5. Pick.Pull.Claw.

Pick.Pull.Claw.


(false starts of subconsciousness)


A carcass lies upon the double yellow
Stiff as a board with eyes like jello
Rubber runs over him again and again
Splitting him into two as it rips and rips
A ton of put together metal crushes his skull
As an animal he doesn’t deserve a proper burial

But even if he was pulled
To the gravel side
The buzzards would
Swoop down to pick and pull
And eat him alive
And even if he was dead
They would still claw the brains
Right out of his head

6. Life Slipping Away (Part II)

Life Slipping Away (Part II)


(your briefcase is eating you alive)


I want you to go to sleep
So go
It’s been so long since you’ve had a dream
So go

I want you to go to sleep
So go
I want you to have a dream
So sleep

Are you ever going to dream?
We’re not allowed to dream here
Are you ever going to use your brain?
The evil one's infiltrated the office
And now we’re all insane
Come with me, I can help you
They all say that
So they can house their lies in my body
And brainwash me
Oh how I force away the memory
They pushed me around
And they all had guns
I know we’ve watched them for years
Dry your tears
It’s all about to end

7. End of the World

End of the World


(explosion leads to mistaken fear)


The world is ending
The rain is pouring down
Trying to stop the fire
People running
The streets are empty now
TV's flickering

I look up at the sky
At god or whatever
You cry out
You get no response
Too many clouds around

And now you see it
It’s all become so clear
That it’s the end of time
And you can’t awake
This is not a dream it’s real
And you can’t escape

Buildings crumble
The loudest cries
I’m scared to death
But it’s all right this time
Because there’s nothing left

Goodbye world

8. Projector Eyes

Projector Eyes


(a telekinetic confrontation with the greys)


It hurts to look into your eyes
My eyes are projecting
My thoughts into you
Your eyes read mine
You know how I feel
But neither of us speak

The psychedelic ice cream truck
Delivers an ice cream cone

All the children come around
They feel safe and sound
Until they go back to their homes
Where they feel they don’t belong

9. Extraterrestrial Welcoming

Extraterrestrial Welcoming


(greeting from the gloomillume palace)


Did you ever think
The world would turn upside down
Like it has
So quickly
I block it all out
And take my mind somewhere else
Please come with me

Dragonfly flying on
Circling the sun

Then I realized I was circling too
My eyes followed that dragonfly
To the moon
Then I realized I was on this planet
Not the moon

Show me around space
Give me the tour
Make me one of you
Don’t let me go

We’ll never take you back
This is your new home
We’ll take away all your pain
And give you a ray gun

But don’t harm anything that smiles
Or has colors like ours
Vibrant and beautiful
Brilliantly wonderful
Or any sign of love
Now your one of us!

10. I know the truth

I know the truth


(the lies lie above your selfish head)


The truth is here
It’s here
It’s clear
It’s clear
I know the truth
Please dear
Come here
It’s clear
It’s clear
You live on the world
The past is hung above
I live on this place
Where the present happens

The stars in space
Blow up and fade away
I see it in action
One hundred thousand years
I’ll see your reaction

Look up see lies
I live in paradise now

Now you see it!
So believe it!
Now you see it!
So please believe it!

All I ever wanted to do
Was drive down Groom Lake Road
And bust down the doors
And tell the world the news
And that we all have been lied to
They are all whores!
They died with their secrets hidden deep

11. Aurora Borealis Under Attack

Aurora Borealis Under Attack


(the flower obliviates the naysayers)


I hope someday you will feel the pain
You forced on me to make me go insane
Your powers made me obey
Now you’re dead
I do not owe you anything

Up here there are none of your kind
So I can finally rest and put you out of my mind
One day I will have a loving guide
To share this space with and to call mine

I guess no one I knew before was real
I do believe I was tricked
I feel as if this was all a big joke
And now they are all at a round table
Laughing at the past
Sipping their high dollar tea
A conscious effort to avoid me is
Not the best feeling
I hate this
I guess for the remainder of my time
I must come in with a silent face
And a silent heart
I shall move like a ghost traveling alone
Unknown
Because no one ever cared
They are all to take and pick sides
Not one is on mine
This dark place is rising again
The ground is breaking and I am falling in
But this time I know my way out
I have the map
I just don’t want to go back
Because the repercussions slice me
Like a razor blade
I told you that
The emptiness it leaves
The tiredness it brings
The tears it weeps
The hunger it feeds
The wants turn to needs
Mental status of your kids depreciates
Cause of pictures they are forced to see
Mother being hit
Yelling obscenities
Syringe left in a drunken arm
The non-bios
The split of their leaders
Then the place that blew up
Becomes way too much
So bloody baths flow over
And leave
A stain

So where do we find
Happiness all the time
Let’s look

Somewhere in the aurora borealis
Is where it begins
Where does it end?

And the flower grows

12. Intergalactic Festivity

Intergalactic Festivity


(serotonin discos the synaptic gap)


Let’s celebrate being alive
We are the ones who survived
There’s no worry in sight
We can dance all night
They used to say you can’t

Cat walk, reaaarr
Ooh they're modeling the new
Intergalactic wear
Let’s look

They are oh so beautiful when they strut
Iridescent clothing is what they’ve got
You’ve got it gurl!
Dylan, Hank, Macy, Michael, Kirk
Let’s have some fun!
Our friends are so enchanting
We love them a lot
Loving all this happiness
That cannot be bought

Let’s do the voices here for Greyson

Back on our planet we blamed
A group of people
Ruining their whole civilization
What’s that shit?
The evil ones of course wanted
More cash in their pockets
So they played the power game
And sent tanks across the ocean
To extract greed from the ground
To put in moving vehicles
They tricked the blind
Through mass communication

Do I need to close my heart?
Close it up
Because every time I open it
It gets beaten up

The psychedelic gods were right
The secrets were in the saucer

Memories arise it happens all the time
And so I fall back into minor blues

13. Digital Oak Tree

Digital Oak Tree


(unidentified loving object)


I lay under a digital oak tree
Thinking about how life used to treat me
I lay there with a smile cause I know
I never have to go back there

I walk down a narrow pathway
I look out and see a friend
Take off and fly away
Out into space
This is life

I see a face
It’s lookin’ at me
Visually satisfying
Who can it be?

Messing up the semantic encoding
Cause my syntax is out of whack
Sounding like blather
Paradoxical encounter
You’re a contradiction
To my mothers nature
Walls turn dubstep
Moving pictures round in my head
Turned off light switch
I think I need a reset

Let’s go around again
Undo me

Back to you I see you walking
Your auora is that of some
Supernatural force
Headed towards me
I see the glitter on your cheeks
Neon colors in your hair
Flowing everywhere
Standing on a cartoon lawn
You got that gloomillume thing going on
So do I go in circles or do I go to you

I don’t know it’s just
So hard to come so close
To something so powerful
It’s like you have this shield up
But it’s mental it’s really invisible

A very genteel being
With a touch unlike my kind
Aimlessly wondering
Am I just a sight?
To see or do you see me?

14. Rainbow Don't Go

Rainbow Don't Go


(humanistic memories scream through the former robots metal heart)


Do you think we see
In color to keep us all happy?
What about the color blind?
Are they sad or do they even mind?

Rainbow don’t go
Please!

What if we saw black and white?
Color on scary things that happen at night
Like blood color bright red
Flowing out of someone that is dead

Rainbow don’t go
Please!

15. Pastoral Piece

Pastoral Piece


(the electronic birds hold the bright clouds to my technicolour garden)


You have taken me home
I have dreamt of this place

This is a beautiful place
Such a happy place

Where did you find this place?
I guess we are up in space

This is a beautiful place
Such a happy place

Daydreaming At Night
 Released: October 20, 2009

1. Recycled

Recycled


You tell me
Everything will be ok if I follow you
You make me believe your lies and so
And so I do but then you go
You don’t understand what you do
When you leave me in a darkened room
A darkened room
A dark, dark room by myself
By myself

I’m recycled
I’m used over and over again
I can’t catch a break
Why am I treated this way
I don’t want to be recycled

You again are you lonely yet
Where is your friend
What do you want
I don’t want to be sad
Cause you’re confused what to do
You don’t understand what you do
When you leave me in a darkened room
A darkened room
A dark, dark room by myself
By myself

I’m recycled
I’m used over and over again
I can’t catch a break
Why am I treated this way
I don’t want to be recycled

2. You Can’t

You Can’t


You say I can’t go
But you go
I just want you to know
That I went
I don’t care what you say
I just wanted to disappear
And so I did

You won’t win

Tear down all these walls
You’ve built around me
I don’t like them
They keep me in
And you think you have
All this power
But you’ll soon find out
You don’t have it

You’ll never win
Even though you think you can
You will never win
You think you can
No you just can’t
You’ll never win
No not with me

You won’t win


  Music and Lyrics by Chance & Charlee

3. Unknown

Unknown


Lost in this world
I’ll just hide, be unknown
What if I found something new
Something different and true
I, I wait for you to come back
From your place in your mind
Where I left you
I can’t find out how to find you

Losing it
Losing it
I’ll never fall apart
I’m never coming back
Cause I am broken

Seems like no one cares
About the people
That they pass along the way
They don’t turn back
To see how they are

Losing it
Losing it
I’ll never fall apart
I’m never coming back
Cause I am broken

Losing it
Losing it
I’ll never fall apart
I’m never coming back
Cause I am broken

4. Stand Clear

Stand Clear


Everyone stand clear
I’m shooting you down
So you better watch out
I’m not coming back
I’m going all the way
So you better change your ways
Or I’m not gonna stay

Today’s another day
And I’m another way today
I’ve changed, oh
But I know you will
Love me still if I
Don’t change my life

Everyone standing near
Is getting me down
They always get me down
Everything I knew
I’ll throw it all away
I don’t care what they say
I’m gonna change my ways

Today’s another day
And I’m another way today
I’ve changed, oh
And I know you will
Love me still if I
Don’t change my life

Where is the heart that I used to love so much
Where am I going I want to see clearly
I had my eyes shut for so long
Now they’re peeling apart
Because of the one who has guided me
The right way

Where is the heart that I used to love so much
Where am I going I want to see clearly
I had my eyes shut for so long
Now they’re peeling apart
Because of the one who has guided me
The right way

5. No

No


She smiles when the world sees her face
The curtains close it goes away
Because it’s never been quite the same
Since it all changed on that day
And all of these things she tries to shake
Won’t leave me until I break

You have this hold on me
And I don’t want to be
Be set free
No, No

I, oh I mean she is not well
But she would never dare to tell
You, that she hurts bad inside
Showing her false sense of pride
Look deep into her eyes
I’m not good at telling lies

You have this hold on me
And I don’t want to be
Be set free
No, No

You have this hold on me
And I don’t want to be
Be set free
No, No

6. War Song

War Song


Seeing all these planes fly
Dropping bombs down from the sky
As I look around
I see dead bodies on the ground
And I turn to you and say

Breathe me
Take in the love I give you
Hold me
Like it’s the last time you do
Tell me
Every feeling you feel
Show me
That this is all so real
Love me
Because it’s all ending

Breathe me
Take in the love I give you
Hold me
Like it’s the last time you do
Tell me
Every feeling you feel
Show me
That this is all so real
Love me
Because it’s all ending

7. Tears

Tears


Take my hand
Walk me through this land
That I don’t understand
Lead me to
A place with truth
So I won’t lose my mind to you

I’m losing it already
I’m falling I’m so heavy with lies
I’m fighting to stay steady
With all of these pain in my mind
Fighting to stay steady
With all of these tears held inside

Take me in
Hold me close my friend
And be the one who understands
Don’t let me go
Cause if go just know
That I won’t be coming back
And I don’t want that

I’m losing it already
I’m falling I’m so heavy with lies
I’m fighting to stay steady
With all of these pain in my mind
Fighting to stay steady
With all of these tears held inside

I’m losing my mind slowly
Can’t you see
I’m in need
So please, please help me

8. Erase

Erase


It hurts less to leave
Instead of being left
My heart was on my sleeve
My mind was on a shelf
And dust was gathering
And no one bought me
So I sat alone
I just sit alone

And now I’m wondering
Just what I’m here to be
And all this whispering
Is making me think
About your life
And what you felt inside
To make you want to leave

I will erase your tears
I will ease your pain


  Music and Lyrics by Chance & Charlee
  © 2009 Linear Downfall Music (BMI)

9. Surveillance Life

Surveillance Life


Run away
They’re spotting you from a higher place
Try to hide
They’re watching you live your surveillance life
Power and control
They’ll take every little bit you hold
They have secrets and they have lies
They’re watching you live your surveillance life

You have freedom they say
But you’re restricted from everything

Tapping into your mind
Their suits lock down everything they find
They inspect you and all your kind
As you’re released from the assembly line

You have freedom they say
But you’re restricted from everything

You can live in your own head
And rule your own world


  Music and Lyrics by Chance & Charlee

10. Life Slipping Away (Part I)

Life Slipping Away (Part I)


You feel like your life has been well spent
Ask yourself what has it really meant

Time is going fast and we cannot turn back
Time is going fast but we cannot stop it

Stop and look into a mirror
What do you see
Someone who’s lost touch with everything

Time is going fast and we cannot turn back
Time is going fast but we can never stop it

Oh what have you become
Do you even know that person
The one thing that you didn’t want
Has taken you over
