Levitating slowly
Above the world you don't look down
Just rise above those bastards
And show them they can't wear you out
So when those pigs start squealing
Sugar coated faithless lies
It’s fear and hate they’re feeling
The smell of urine burns your eyes
But when the friction takes control
When the friction drags you down
Together we can break the hold
Together we can make it right
Atop those giant towers
Love and hope have been denied
But we can love each other
And they can’t hide the hurt inside
When the friction takes control
When the friction drags you down
Together we can break the hold
Together we will make it right
When the friction takes control
When the friction drags you down
Together we can break the hold
Together we can make it right
When the friction takes control
When the friction drags you down
Together we can break the hold
Together we will be alright

City humming electric lights
In my fingertips
All the colors buzzing bright
Danced across her hips
Morning light watercolored glow
Down the oceanside
What’s a man supposed to do
Once he’s satisfied?
Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
I’m sorry to leave you alone
But Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
Forgive me for hope and for love
Smell of violence and meat uptown
Taste the thrill unknown
Going up is just like falling down
Better not alone
One by one it starts to fall apart
Sudden searing pain
In slow motion the bullet slides
Through a coronary vein
Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
Darlin go say what you want
Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
Now that I’ve found peace and found love
Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
I’m sorry to leave you alone
But Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
Forgive me for hope and for love
Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
Darlin you can say what you want
Cheyenne, I’m not coming home
Now that I’ve found hope and found love

Stars

All along the border, between the haves and the ones that don't
They burn a lot of nature, any kind of fuel to build the fight
Divide, the walls will keep us free
Divide, but what they fail to see
We are surrounded by the stars
High atop the mountain, you can see forever on both sides
At any elevation, nature grows and nature thrives
Unite, feel love and human touch
In time we won’t matter all that much
We are surrounded by the stars

Invincible

Don’t tell me no more stories about your anger and dismay
You don’t get to complain about nothing after treating me that way
If I have no emotion I might get by
But you left me just when I was feeling foolish confidence and pride
I am invincible
I do not care
I am invincible
I am not here
Welcome to the ignorance, it’s gooey, sticky, warm, and sweet
Come on down to the innocence, just tune out everything you see
We’ve got no reaction, we don’t give a damn
They can’t get close to me, I’m not what I am
I am invincible
I do not care
I am invincible
I am nowhere
I am invincible
I do not care
I am invincible
I’m unaware
I am invincible
I do not care
I am invincible
I am nowhere

Weightless, time unwound
Heartbeats the only sound
You’re a beam of light floating by
And I feel alive when you smile
It’s cold out, it never ends
As we fall down heaven sent
We could seize each other, a warm embrace
I would be recovered just to touch your face
Hold on, hold on
Everything's gone
Now we are weightless
All alone
Hold on, hold on
A moment is all
Now we are weightless
Wide eyed, unaware
Breathless, save your air
Could we freeze the moment and live inside
Reality flies by amplified
Hold on, hold on
Everything's gone
Now we are weightless
All alone
Hold on, hold on
A moment is all
Now we are weightless
Here we go
Hold on, hold on
Everything's gone
Now we are weightless
All alone
Hold on, hold on
A moment is all
Now we are weightless
