Blast Off 00:21

Today 03:40
TODAY Come back to the atmosphere I’ve been waiting for you for so long Tell me stories, where’ve you been? Does Orion sing your favorite song? Hey! Let’s live for today! And I promise you, tomorrow will be okay Hey! Let’s live for today! And I promise you, we’ll be whole again someday Come back from the glorious It’s been a while since I’ve held your hand I’ve got all your favorite things I’ll be waiting when your space ship lands You’re getting close But you’re not close enough I don’t think I can do this on my own Without you The world’s not bright enough And everything’s so dark when I’m alone
3.
Fly 04:15
FLY Sing me a melody, the one without a tune Bring me to outer space, the one without a moon I don’t know about you but I’m okay when things move slow I’ve never been in love before, I hope it doesn’t show We fly around the world And paint the moonlit sky We fly around the world Kiss the earth goodbye Tell me a fairy tale, the one without an end Make me invisible, so I can just pretend That this could last forever if we only close our eyes We can save this moment if we never say goodbye I know that you know this isn’t the end So then why do you cry in your bed? Tell me, why can’t you smile instead?
4.
Red 02:50
RED Breathe in, be somebody else Breathe in, you’re all by yourself What you want now? Get ready. Here we go! Light a match, I’m pouring out the gasoline Make it dirty ‘cause it’s way too clean I’m only certain of one thing You always look really good in red Fit in, be just like everyone else Give in, ‘cause you’re all by yourself
5.
Closer 02:46
Closer Through the days and through the nights We can be everlasting We’ve returned from black and white Say goodbye to the constellations We’ve been up here for a thousand years, weightless and alone Mission control can you hear us now, we’re ready to come home We’re getting closer Can you see the sun burns brighter every day? We’re getting closer Even though the stars are begging us to stay Breathe it in One last chance to feel the ether fill your lungs Where we’ve been I don’t even care if they believe us Let’s just show them the photographs we took behind the stars They’re just jealous they’re stuck on earth with gravity and cars If I had another chance you know I wouldn’t change a thing If I had another chance I’d still give her everything If I had another chance you know that I’d still leave my home
6.
On and On 03:20
On and On It’s all just a really bad dream I try, but I can’t stay clean I know this is not the way you thought it would be Just know you’re not alone It goes on and on When I think I have a chance I can’t move on Everybody sing I’m here but I’m somewhere else You live while I’m stuck in hell What have I become? This is not myself Out here in the cold Hear the demons call They’re out there in the woods Hiding in the trees But I’m not afraid
7.
Breathalyze 02:52
BREATHALYZE Surrender And fall just let go Unwanted I’m haunted By ghosts made of snow We’re not astronauts If we’re not taking shots Do they breathalyze in space? Surrender Let go, we don’t care Unwanted I’m haunted But I’m not scared
8.
I SHOULDN’T BE HERE 1 2 3 4 I love it when you ignore everything I said 5 6 8 9 I swear to God I’m just fine it’s all in my head No, I know I shouldn’t be here Go, she said I shouldn’t be here I guess it’s not alright I’m fucked up in the head But I know that I shouldn’t be here 1 2 3 4 Treat me like a cheap whore I don’t understand Getting high feeling low Wanna see a freak show? It’s all in my head
9.
Set Fire 03:53
SET FIRE I’m fading quickly But I’ve got pills The kinds that save my life The kinds that kill Just gimme a little bit, I won’t ask for more Set fire to everyone you’ve ever loved 'Cause you’re alone and it’s what you deserve Set fire to everything you’ve ever owned 'Cause you’re not worth it I eat chemicals so I don’t have to think What good is the television if I can’t drink? God I want some more
10.
Invasion 03:07
INVASION Where were you when lightning tore the sky? They didn’t come in peace, they came to watch us die They took the children first, stole them from their beds We woke to find them gone, pillows bathed in red Hope, pray We see another day Hope, pray That they just go away But I’ll keep you safe tonight Our parents told us fairy tales of men from outer space Were they trying to warn us of what we’d have to face? At first they just seemed curious like children with a fly But now they kill like spiders singing toxic lullabies We could sneak out after dark and Stab them in their loveless hearts and Watch the blackness fade from everything We could be like astronauts and Fight them 'till the fighting stops and Just remember one important thing I’ll keep you safe tonight
11.
Just You 05:05
JUST YOU Hey you I want to know your name Hey you I’ve never played this game But tell me the rules and I’ll play forever Hey you Tell me everything Teach me how to love I’ll teach you how to sing I can’t believe you’re right here with me Go back in time to when you had that dream Was I alive in everything you’d see? ‘Cause every time I fall asleep It’s always only you I see Just you Hey you Let’s push the world aside Hey you We’ll never have to hide Come back home and stay forever
12.
1986 03:05
1986 I was broken before I was born Just a child but something more I might look just like everybody else but I’m not I might look just like everything’s ok but it’s not Come home and find that everything is waiting for you there Just how you left it Nothing here has changed except for you Not for the better And tell me if you ever would have thought that I would fail the way I failed today When I was young I was happy but now I’m just numb I thought we could be astronauts How could I be so dumb
