New Age 04:02
a skylight in a box of steel still trying to see where I was going what happened? could this be real? what is this world that I’ve been thrown into? a new age a new world a new life astonished and overwhelmed  by all these things that I’ve never seen before as I walked out it dawned on me how long I must have been sleeping and with horror I saw that this must be the future  a new age a new world  a new life and in fear I tried to resist my fate I threw myself on the concrete self-destruction comes from the anxiety of not being able to compete it’s too much to process I can’t comprehend this I don’t wanna be here anymore wake me up  a new age a new world  a new life

welcome to the world of tomorrow you’ve just reached a better place this truth seems a little hard to swallow it’s worth it anyway this is what you’ve been waiting for another refined world and so much more this is what you’ve been waiting for a greater life, now that you’ve reached the shore breathe in the time has come lay it on me, lay it on me freedom is what we’ve done lay it on me, lay it on me revel in flags of truce the sails of tomorrow your journey has just begun if you asked what has changed on your way here humankind has been rearranged your brain’s stuck in outdated values as you can see there are things that might need a change change - rearrange change - rearrange breathe in the time has come lay it on me, lay it on me freedom is what we’ve done lay it on me, lay it on me revel in flags of truce the sails of tomorrow your journey has just begun  we kept the soul but our brains are rearranged we kept the soul but our values needed change we kept the soul but our brains are rearranged we’ll keep your soul your journey has just begun

a new age a new life well they once said the end is near a new day a new light it’s funny that we’re all still here fifty or a hundred years at best the scientists put their hopes to rest and foretold a future of death but when an old dying tree has lost its power to grow when a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow then it hurts to know that there’s nothing you can do so let it burst, ooh let it burst
4.
2 Billion 03:43
sure, the earth didn’t get any bigger but this place right here seems huge compared to these cities that once ran riot like a black disease oh see, do you recall the big pandemics? and the effort this planet made to get rid of this vicious plague known as humanity when an old dying tree has lost its power to grow when a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow then it hurts to know that there’s nothing you can do so let it burst, let it burst, let it burst as time went by, affliction made us see expansion is not only quantity and people stopped yearning for wealth and eternity and all at once everyone could breathe let it burst let it burst when an old dying tree has lost its power to grow when a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow then it hurts to know that there’s nothing you can do so let it burst, let it burst, let it burst

I was brought to a fountain and a multitude of treasures lined my path who owns all this I asked carefully they said it belongs to no one as simple as that everyone takes what he needs the golden times have gone  and all they left is peace years passed without understanding all the envy derives from feeling lonely everybody’s feeling lonely   what is war? what is bloodshed? what is war and has it ended? is it over now this thing that you call hate? hate that you saw then years passed without understanding all the things that we grant ourselves mean nothing if we just await our ending senselessly all this led to the bigger goal that arose in us in a craving for retention a newfound reinvention what is war? what is bloodshed? what is war and has it ended? is it over now this thing that you call hate?

now that I know how much life they are yielding how much joy in one day they can see I still remember the world that I came from I can’t help but wonder how could this be all this beauty can’t be real a man approaches and speaks to me whatever you lost whatever you feel  don’t be afraid I’m staying here it makes you stronger it makes you stronger   so take what you want you’ll get what you need this life’s built on trust and everything’ s free it makes you stronger it makes you stronger they say it’s not just devotion they say it’s all about the balance they have this deep basic notion that says envy is barren technology has made it okay to not give in to our nature you can see through me and I can see through you whatever you lost whatever you feel  don’t be afraid I’m staying here it makes you stronger it makes you stronger   so take what you want you’ll get what you need this life’s built on trust and everything’ s free it makes you stronger it makes you stronger all this beauty can’t be real a man approaches and speaks to me

How Long 02:48
a soothing dream that’s oddly true but what am I supposed to do I recall signing forms back then two hundred years of sleep came to an end how long how long and now I see it’s not too late all the love in here restored my faith  it’s amazing how some wounds can heal I know it’s true but it feels so unreal how long how long  and although I’m lucky enough to live it makes me wonder how far we can go from here if a plan worked once, why not twice like this I am dying to see how long it’ll take us to be ideal how long how long

Avalon 04:42
fate made it all so clear I was chosen to be the vanguard fate pulls me far from here and in peace and joy I now depart into a new age into a new life another quest is waiting another world I’m facing into a new age into a new life something I can’t imagine it’s the unknown I’m sinking in it’s a new age stay, my mission needs me now nothing holds me back from evolving why don’t you understand where my heart is at I’m addicted to this idea of improving my life to perfection and this vision makes me lose all fear into a new age into a new life another quest is waiting another world I’m facing into a new age into a new life something I can’t imagine it’s the unknown I’m sinking in it’s a new age fate pulls me far from here fate pulls me far from here fate pulls me far from here fate pulls me far from here

Eternal Eyes 03:52
A.I. never lets you die in all their eyes is something eery something hollow it seems like they’re not happy although this world is nearly perfect what could have happened? I have this subtle feeling breathe in the time has come the search is over the search is over now the price of perfection is that you reach it and then somehow we’re a million years with each other a million years with each other eternally in time and space connected with one another it’s a never ending race beloved A.I. has never let us die what is life without a fucking ending immortality seemed brighter than the sky but in the end A.I. never lets you die a million years with each other eternally in time and space connected with one another it’s a never ending race a million years with each other eternal life is not a gift perfection still makes you suffer
10.
the sun goes down in a perfect land and it’s up to you to leave we know it’s quite hard to understand that this place is incomplete when all the big tasks are done when we have reached eternity then our will to live has gone there’s nothing to believe  is it me you’ve been waiting for? is it me you’ve been longing for? haven’t you felt something that pulls you back? a dream has burst, but you’ll find peace instead is it me you’ve been waiting for? not anymore it’s hard to admit that it’s time to go back to the battle I assume at least I know that this age back home won’t end anytime soon it’s a consolation that we will live longer than we thought you can say that in the end the future’s not lost is it me you’ve been waiting for? is it me you’ve been longing for? haven’t you felt something that pulls you back? a dream has burst, but you’ll find peace instead is it me you’ve been waiting for? not anymore I knew that all this beauty, it can’t be fucking real why couldn’t all this progress keep what it promised in my dreams condemned to strive for perfection but it will never come to this 
11.
Catch-22 03:50
years passed without understanding all the envy derives from feeling lonely everybody’s feeling lonely  survival is slowly fading all the vultures have come and they feed only on all the lost and lonely whatever you lost  whatever you feel  don’t be afraid I’m staying here it makes you stronger it makes you stronger   so take what you want you’ll get what you need this life’s built on trust and everything’ s free it makes you stronger it makes you stronger if nothing ever dies nothing ever grows back but this stillness is killing me if nothing ever dies have all treasures been found yet? so what good is infinity? It’s killing me whatever you lost  whatever you feel  don’t be afraid I’m staying here it makes you stronger it makes you stronger   so take what you want you’ll get what you need this life’s built on trust and everything’ s free it makes you stronger it makes you stronger if nothing ever dies nothing ever grows back but this stillness is killing me if nothing ever dies have all treasures been found yet? so what good is infinity? what is war? what is bloodshed? what is war and has it ended yet? is it over now this thing that you call hate?

striving for endless perfection striving for millions of years accepting never to achieve this is what being human really means endless life endless game endless science endlessly in pain endless birth endless myths endless search for endless bliss a new age a new world a new life a new age a new world  a new life
