I picture us Staring up into the bright blue sky smiling wide Hand in hand, three of us on land Saying yes we can, we can, we can Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass We’d watch the sun Float across the sky illuminating our lives And when its night We would wish upon the pixel stars that shine so bright Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass I picture us Staring up into the bright blue sky smiling wide Hand in hand, three of us on land Saying yes we can, we can, we can Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass We’d watch the sun Float across the sky illuminating our lives And when its night We would wish upon the pixel stars that shine so bright Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Woah, woah Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass Living in the picture glass Laying in the virtual grass

Perfect Snow 04:06
We bestow all of this It just has a magic glow And I know since I’m with you This is just a perfect snow Even when it is cold You still make me feel so warm Silver storms that shimmers gold This is just a perfect snow Perfect Perfect Snow Perfect Perfect Snow Magic’s in the air Snowflakes sparkle everywhere Take my hand my snow angel Snow angel The cold’s never felt so warm And I don’t know If I could weather this storm without You make me feel like winter’s whimsical Whimsical We bestow all of this It just has a magic glow And I know since I’m with you This is just a perfect snow Even when it is cold You still make me feel so warm Silver storms that shimmers gold This is just a perfect snow Perfect Perfect Snow Perfect Perfect Snow Perfect Perfect Snow Perfect Perfect Snow Perfect Perfect Snow Perfect Perfect Snow

Drifting 03:49
(ooh) (ooh) I begged for you To bring me back through to Earth But you left me And space is never-ending, never ends I can’t breathe and there’s no point in trying Drifting out here, cold and dying It’s been three years No one’s coming out to save- I begged for you Back through to Earth You left me here just drifting away I begged for you Back through to Earth You left me here just drifting (ooh) (ooh) You brought me here And left me here No tether to bring me back to the ship So here I stay I am drifting away Watch the horizon shift to gray Nothing left in my airway I begged for you To bring me back through to Earth But you left me And space is never ending, never ends I can’t breathe and there’s no point in trying Drifting out here, cold and dying It’s been three years No one’s coming out to save me I begged for you (I begged for you) To bring me back through to Earth (Back through to Earth) But you left me (You left me here just drifting away) And space is never-ending, never ends I can’t breathe and there’s no point in trying Drifting out here, cold and dying It’s been three years No one’s coming out to save- I begged for you Back through to Earth You left me here just drifting away I begged for you Back through to Earth You left me here just drifting

Eclipse 03:57
We met in the dark In the absence of the moonlight But then the light came back And we bloomed in the sunshine Don’t look into my eyes It’ll hurt, it’ll burn Oh, our love grew in the light But now our sun’s eclipsing We met in the dark In the absence of the moonlight But then the light came back And we bloomed in the sunshine Don’t look into my eyes It’ll hurt, it’ll burn Oh, our love grew in the light But now our sun’s eclipsing I met you I met you in the dark There was no moonlight But then I felt a shine You brought back the sunlight Oh, don’t look into my eyes I promise I will burn you Our love grew in your light But now your sun’s eclipsing

Root Fossil 02:52
They say my tide went out a hundred million years ago Rooted in my seaweed disguise I don’t want to fossilize The shallow shoals that I called home The primordial seas I once roamed Let me thrive again Storm drain Can’t wash me, wash me away My anchor’s stronger than the sea I won’t die off that easily Resurrect me Regenerate me Turn me into what I once was Bring me back again Give me another chance Show the world what I could become Storm drain Can’t wash me, wash me away My anchor’s stronger than the sea I won’t die off that easily Resurrect me Regenerate me Turn me into what I once was Bring me back again Give me another chance Show the world what I could become

Sturdy 02:20
I may move slow But just know I have my own tempo My speed might be less than thirty But my mind’s free Fight or flight or freeze Zero degrees But I’ve got my instincts I won’t melt that easily Even if I’m weak to fire I may have an ice body But I’ll still stand sturdy As fragile as I may look I’ve got defenses past one-eighty And even if you break me I’ll still be standing sturdy But I’ll still stand sturdy I’ll still be standing sturdy I won’t melt that easily Even if I’m weak to fire I may have an ice body But I’ll still stand sturdy As fragile as I may look I’ve got defenses past one-eighty And even if you break me I’ll still be standing sturdy

Crumbling 03:58
Head spinning, perpetual dizzy Footsteps stumbling, body crumbling Hands so shaky and my heartbeat’s still breaking Memories mumbling, body crumbling Head spinning, perpetual dizzy Footsteps stumbling, body crumbling Hands so shaky and my heartbeat’s still breaking Memories mumbling, body crumbling Waiting for feeling, for healing Staring up into the ceiling Splintered skies and melted eyes Oceans shattered far and wide Brain repeating, oh Head spinning, perpetual dizzy Footsteps stumbling, body crumbling Hands so shaky and my heartbeat’s still breaking Memories mumbling, body crumbling Head spinning, perpetual dizzy Footsteps stumbling, body crumbling Hands so shaky and my heartbeat’s still breaking Memories mumbling, body crumbling

After Summer 02:36
After summer the rain falls My brain stalls The pain calls After summer the world becomes gray The dark takes the day My heart starts to fade After summer the rain falls My brain stalls The pain calls After summer the world becomes gray The dark takes the day My heart starts to fade

For You 02:11
One more night and one more light I wish upon a star for you And I ask why, Am I still sitting here waiting for you? The shooting stars Oh they seem much too far How will they grant my wish Yet I try and try again I go One more night and one more light I wish upon a star for you And I ask why, Am I still sitting here waiting for you? January, February I’m still sitting hyper-aware-y March and April, May and June How much longer will I wait here for you? One more night and one more light I wish upon a star for you And I ask why, Am I still sitting here waiting for you? From September through to December It starts to feel like forever Day by week and month by year I suppose that our end is here
