Blastoff!!! 02:55
There are only so many places we go we limit Ourselves to the things we know and in this We risk missing out on risks and goals it’s ideal To never get too comfortable I sat down to write this down and lost Track of thought and slept on the ground awoke In the dark, without a sound and thought, “If this is deep space well I’m ready for blastoff now!” Any direction, any place in time Astronomical endeavors Drive this spaceship out wherever To places where people aren’t constantly talking bout the weather I’d rather be lost in time Than bored stuck back inside

Reinforce the floodgates while you can The rush is coming fast we might not get another chance And for those of you who haven't bailed out yet I'm glad you stuck around and proud to call you friends The leaks are growing, it's overflowing, try to grab hold of anything It feels like sinking, thinking deeply, the pressure's increasing, at this depth there's nothing to see Nothing to see Imagine things Too scared to sleep So stay awake And stay up late In fear of fate Watch out! Do you see it comin!? Listen! Can you hear it runnin!? I cant breathe! Anxiety! Watch out! I see it comin! Listen! Can't you hear it runnin! Breathe quickly Hold, back, the shakes (I HOPE WE'LL SEE ANOTHER DAY!) Fill, up, the leaks (I HOPE WE'LL PULL UP IN THE BAY!) CHORUS …Breathe slowly Can't help but sweat (I THINK WE'RE COMING CLOSE TO LAND!) Its taste is sharpe and sweet (I THINK I FEEL A BREEZE BEHIND OUR BACKS!) Hold tight, we're almost clear! Ignite, engulf this fear!

Tygers 02:49
Books upon the table The words lie in my head Across time, across minds And I’m amazed by the simple things Like how we made it through the centuries And I’m amazed by the simple things Like how we made it through our history We keep on writing Arbitrary markings Bound up and shelved high And handed down through time A universe of wonders Infinite mysteries Inside and out of everything Inside and out of everything I know one day we’ll go there We gotta keep on pushing through It won’t be science fiction If we make it come true It’ll be a grand prediction Of literary wisdom And I’m all in for it CHORUS We keep on writing Arbitrary markings Bound up and shelved high And handed down through time We’ll pick up the pieces Continue to pierce through the night

I woke up in the afternoon A glare out the window is shining through And all I see are blue White skies apartments everywhere Rooftops, car lots and top notch affordable beer And this place is a mess but my thoughts are clear I find that when I take things slow and Think ahead and plan it out I’m not so impartial Toward the way things unfold yet We spin so fast and now I’m off beat Been thinking about replacing both of my hands with feet Maybe then I could keep up But how could I watch my step If it’s too dark to see the ground in front of me? Headlights strike trees And their shadows bounce and scurry And flutter I’m blinded by wonder Continue to blunder Push through yet another day I’ll fight through the daylight and through the daytime And all through the night The night Goodnight! Goodnight! I woke up and the sun was down The lesser stars were out reflecting off the ground And the planets too I’m sure there’s a few My brother taught me how to concentrate And focus hard on one star—see how the others fade out From your view And then I thought of you And thought of family And of the things we do And I know why I push And continue to pull on through

We've Landed 03:32
We had our course locked It was set for the dark now we’re off and we’re on track For anywhere but here New kinds of atmospheres Packed our ship for the big leap and now we’re Voyaging world to world We had our goals set high We thought we would find life Years pass nothing to show Yet another unsuccessful Attempt to end the belief we’re alone We pull up stakes and say the next place will be The first one for sure we’re fueled by the allure Of adventure and discovery but I can’t help thinking I can’t help thinking What if it never comes? And if it’s beginning to feel that way Could we bear the trip back home? I refuse to let that be our fate I’d rather burn out here than fill an earthly grave! We headed out there! There’s so much to see We’re traveling light years¬–across galaxies I cannot believe our luck Witnessed a supernova Knocked out our satellites but we’re still alive Last stop we fly in blind A world hospitable for life We landed right near the sea I can’t believe

We looked up and out straight through the night We looked down around and inside Bits of light in all directions (Bits of light in all directions) Illuminate our imperfections Shining brightly And I can hear the years pass in my ears And there's something beautiful in that place fear So we're going back We're going back So we'll head back home Before we left it we looked at what we found One look, one final look We took our seats and bid farewell now we're homeward bound I'm look out, I'm always looking out I'm always looking out windows on Long drives through places I don't know Though I know there's a reason We’re singing and screaming! We headed home! Headed home! We’ll traveled softly, the void's been calling We headed home! Headed home! But when you’re out this long this void starts to feel like home If that’s the way it has to be And if it’s cool with you it’s fine by me

You’re out waiting tables working a double shift Barley making a living off of it You snap out of a daydream and find you’re upstairs in the office And you think to yourself, “Oh no! This can’t be it!” And I know this can’t be it And I know this can’t be it If I know one thing We all need something And if it’s to be this is the only chance we’ll get Lets tend the fire Sift through the mires Enjoy the ride but never quit, stop, or retire I guess it’s just the way we’re wired Barley making a living At least we’re out here we’re giving it all we got It’s not just us! It’s everything! Whether it’s outside or in There’s no start there’s no end There just is
