[Chorus] Take me away from heaven, take me to reality. Cause angels here on Earth, I tell you, it cannot be. I say you are my desire, you’re the heart to my beat. If I’m Freddie Mercury, would you be my queen? [Verse 1] One, two, three steps is all I need. My dream is there to be achieved. One, two, three seconds all I need to tell you how I feel, but I’m weak. [Pre-Chorus] Angeline, are you really who I wish that you would be? Oh, this sure, never before, have I been. [Chorus] So take me away from heaven, take me to reality. Cause angels here on Earth, I tell you, it cannot be. I say you are my desire, you’re the heart to my beat. If I’m Freddie Mercury, would you be my queen? [Verse 2] One, two, three words are all I need, and crazy as it seems, I believe. One, two, three, and the world is ours for free. Now the price we pay for a dream is to be [Pre-Chorus] "You and me", is it really what I wish that it would be? Oh, this sure, never before, have I been. [Chorus] So take me away from heaven, take me to reality. Cause angels here on Earth, I tell you, it cannot be. I say you are my desire, you’re the heart to my beat. If I’m Freddie Mercury, would you be my queen?

Demons 03:22

[Verse 1] It’s time to take a walk and try to talk, simple and straightforward. The dreams are near but there are things to fear, we can't just aim for it. We need a plan to learn to handle everythang, Superman incoming. Like a tiny beat, an organ on the track, and a sick ass drumming. [Pre-Chorus] At night I go to sleep, but my mind is a prison. I’m stuck in a cell with only music and a vision. But now I’m more alone, than ever before… [Chorus] The demons in my dreams escaped without a word to take over the world. My demons are now free. The angels have been cursed. I’m afraid they won’t return [Verse 2] What’s the- what’s the deal with chasing dreams, if it’s just straight forward? Life is like a song, and every second it’s getting shorter. Lost inside my mind like I’ve been cursed with a soul disorder. Only time I feel like I am real’s when my shit’s recording. [Pre-Chorus] At night I go to sleep, but my mind is a prison. I’m stuck in a cell with only music and a vision. But now I’m more alone, than ever before… [Chorus] The demons in my dreams escaped without a word to take over the world. My demons are now free. The angels have been cursed. I’m afraid they won’t return. [Bridge] I’m going wild, I’m going crazy cause I love it. I’m going wild, but I’m not in it for the money. I’m going wild, you can see me I’ll be up and running. I’m going wild… [Pre-Chorus] At night I go to sleep, but my mind is a prison. I’m stuck in a cell with only music and a vision. But now I’m more alone, than ever before… [Chorus x2] The demons in my dreams escaped without a word to take over the world. My demons are now free. The angels have been cursed. I’m afraid they won’t return.

[Verse 1] Sit down, feel it in. The magic in the keys, girl. Let there be more swing. Keep on feeling it; it’ll take you to your dream world. Let the beat come in. [Hook] And the beat comes in like ba, pa, ba, pa, pa-a-a... And all we need’s just ba, pa, ba, pa, pa-a-a... And everybody feels like everything’s alright, and the universe gon’ crazy like the sound. [Chorus] Let me take you on an adventure. We could be flying in the sky. You’ll be the queen in the kingdom we enter, and on a horse, I’ll be your knight. [Verse 2] Stand up, sing with me, cause all you ever need is in the harmonies… Close your eyes, believe that everything’s a dream, and it will set us free… [Hook] And the beat goes on like ba, pa, ba, pa, pa-a-a... And all we need’s just ba, pa, ba, pa, pa-a-a... And everybody feels like everything’s alright, and the universe gon’ crazy like the sound. [Bridge] What if we are just the stars of our imagination? What if we are just the stars in the universe? What if we are just a dream about realisation? Then we got nothing to lose... [Chorus] Let me take you on an adventure. We could be shining like we’re light. Living the dream, and the dream will be endless, and everything will be alright. [Hook] And the beat goes on like ba, pa, ba, pa, pa-a-a... And all we need’s just ba, pa, ba, pa, pa-a-a... And everybody feels like everything’s alright, and the universe gon’ crazy like the sound.

[Verse 1] I can’t see the night, I’m trying to- I’m trying to watch the stars but all I see is light, it’s shining like- it’s shining like diamonds. [Verse 2] I can’t tell the height, I’m blinded by- I’m blinded by all them stars but all I see is I, I’m tryna be- I’m tryna be rising up. [Pre-Chorus] Cause I’m under pressure, it’s pushing like… The voice in my head is such a douchey guy. [Chorus] So what if I’m alone at the bottom? I know it won’t stop the beat from getting heard. My music is the road to the top and my own globetrotter, we’ll be travelling the world. [Hook] Like fire. Eliminating darkness like we’re fire. Like fire. Eliminating darkness like we’re fire. [Verse 3] I can’t see no signs, I’m trying to- I’m trying to watch it all fall down like it’s all lies surrounding me surrounding like lions. [Verse 4] I can’t feel no fright, I’m lying to- I’m lying to my own self how all I feel is might. I’m hiding like- I’m hiding like lions coming. [Pre-Chorus] I’m under pressure, it’s pushing like… The voice in my head is such a douchey guy. [Chorus] So what if I’m alone at the bottom? I know it won’t stop the beat from getting heard. My music is the road to the top and my own globetrotter, we’ll be travelling the world. [Hook] Like fire. Eliminating darkness like we’re fire. Like fire. Eliminating darkness like we’re fire. [Bridge: Anders Pettersen] I will bleed light for thee… I will feel fright for thee… Everything I need is for all the might to be real… If I scream for thee, will you scream for me?

[Intro] When the world stops spinning... [Verse 1] Take a moment to cry, let the tears lead the way to your heart. Spread your wings and you’ll fly, anywhere is a good place to start. [Pre-Chorus] When the world stops spinning... [Verse 2] Take a moment to sing, let the words define who you are. Cause you know it begins when there is no more angels to call. [Pre-Chorus] When the world stops spinning... [Chorus] Will I be a better man? Will I feel happiness? Will I even care at all, care at all? Will I be a better man then? Will I miss the feeling “does it never end”? Will I even care at all, care at all? I wonder, wonder, I... [Verse 3] Take a moment, believe that you're the greatest one alive in this world. Take a moment, forget about this thing they call life that's a curse. When the moment has passed, you will find you're like everyone else. Just a little piece of shit, so come on and let's change, we're the best! You and I, together we can fly. We won't die today, they'll remember our names when... [Pre-Chorus] When the world stops spinning… [Chorus x2] Will I be a better man? Will I feel happiness? Will I even care at all, care at all? (Oh, oh, oh...) Will I be a better man then? Will I miss the feeling “does it never end”? Will I even care at all, care at all? (Oh, oh, oh...) I wonder, wonder, I...

I Had A Dream I Was A Human Being 03:37
lyrics

[Verse 1] I had a dream I was a human being. They asked me “what do you believe in?" followed up by “what do you want to be?”. And to both of those questions the answer was “me”. [Verse 2] I had a dream I was a human being. Like a curse I am doomed to feel it. There’s nothing worse than when you can’t flee. Being free can’t be achieved, and neither can peace. [Pre-Chorus] It’s like I’m floating in space, alone and cold unlike astronauts. I’m like a Ho-Oh but grey, and trapped inside of a masterball. [Chorus] I could see the sun shine, on the beat I could rhyme, flying in the sky. I could feel the fun rise, and the sea was so nice. Still I wonder why… …why I’m haunted by anxiety inside my mind. [Verse 3] I had a dream I was a human being. I could see the signs, I could feel anxiety and breathe through my nose saying "it’s gonna be alright". [Verse 4] I had a dream I was a human being. I could bleed, dying in a street fight, I could be believing in Jesus, and it’s gonna be alright. [Pre-Chorus] It’s like I’m floating in space, alone and cold unlike astronauts. I’m like a Ho-Oh but grey, and trapped inside of a masterball. [Chorus x2] I could see the sun shine, on the beat I could rhyme, flying in the sky. I could feel the fun rise, and the sea was so nice. Still I wonder why… :|| …why I’m haunted by anxiety inside my mind. [Bridge] When the sun don’t shine in the dark old sky, I’m feeling terrified, like I’m gonna die. My mind is tumbling around. When the fun stopped climbing, it’s falling free, I’m feeling terrified, cause I know it’s real. The beat ain’t making any sound. When you fly away, would you think of us? I’m feeling terrified that someday you’ll forget me, cause you only used me and my mind.

Flying Machine 02:24

[Verse 1] Over and over the same old story is told. The first time I heard it I couldn’t have been very old. [Verse 2] Life, what a liar, he’s telling me that it’s alright. “Things will get better” as he stabs me in the back with a knife. [Chorus] It’s easy to say but I need not a flying machine to show you the world If you believe that the magic in dreams turns to life, starts to breathe; just imagine the words I sing to you. [Verse 3] Hey, can you hear me? How much deeper will I have to fall? I’m no longer breathing, my heart isn’t beating at all. [Verse 4] Gone, it is over, it is lonelier than before. My home was my throne, now it’s cold and there’s nothing at all. [Bridge] The birds are singing and the sun is shining. The air is dry but my eyes are crying. Love is easy if you dare to try it. The sky is near if you learn to fly. And music is playing and the notes are higher. The vocals crack, better damn admire. There’s nothing nice left to say, I’ve tried it. But nothing is as lovely as a lie. [Outro] Over and over the same old story is told.

[Verse 1] Some nights I pray for aliens to come and get me, to take me home. Some nights I say to myself that I’m nobody in this world. [Chorus] Ooh, oh-oh-ooh… they say ‘free’. Oh, oh… what does it mean being free like a bird? [Verse 2] My life is a train, and I’ve been waiting for far too long. It says it’s delayed, now my patience has dropped to the floor. My ambition is lost, listen don’t even bother to come. We are done. Though it’s not up to me. Cause til’ the end of the station I am bound to follow the trails. [Chorus] Ooh, oh-oh-ooh… they say ‘free’. Oh, oh… what does it mean being free like a bird? Verse 3: “My days are over”, I’m thinking every night. What if I only get to hold her one last time? They say I’ve grown older, but I’m sinking in my mind. My face been colder since I sold my soul for a pack of smokes. And now it’s gone. Now it’s gone. Now it's gone. And now it’s gone. Now it’s gone. Now it’s gone. [Verse 4] I’m a traitor, a hated crook, a double-dealer. I won the game, but it made me a cheater. Corrupt, and hated? Worse, a deceiver. Now put me on a list of the things to achieve. I’m a Jack-of-all-trades, I gambled away my creator, now I’m all alone, and I fade. I’m a thief, and I’m greedy; which means you can’t see me while I’m stealing your reasons to believe in yourself. I’m blocking your path, so man, you can’t move anywhere. It’s the wrong way, I’m going all Lakitu on your ass. I’m a blast, I could smash your face twice; double dash. I’ma set the world on fire, and leave you like Ash Ketchum, and trust me I don’t need destroy your rectum. Your body’s made of trash, you’re like rash, but infected. I will stash you like grass, mash you like potatoes. You’re a toy, brother, and I’m a Blastoise, you’re fainted. [Chorus] Ooh, oh-oh-ooh… they say ‘free’. Oh, oh… what does it mean being free like a bird? [Synthesizer Solo] [Break] [Chorus x3] Ooh, oh-oh-ooh… they say ‘free’. Oh, oh… what does it mean being free like a bird?

Tears from the Soul 03:09
lyrics

[Verse 1] Let me take a minute just to settle this straight, I’m a rapper, weak for the seventies. Faith is my way; book of Genesis. I pray, night and day for my friends and enemies. A lot of people questioning my sanity, but hey, I’m as dumb as everybody else there is. So, save all your words, man, you’re babbling. You’ll face more obstacles than this and that, and that and this. I’m a wizard, the music is my vision, like a blizzard that is freezing you to death. So listen, I’m wishing for more than just a mission, cuz this is just like a motherfucking competition. Except I am the only one participating in this crazy shit but then it’s interesting, ain’t it? It’s still a challenge to me. Practically I’m facing my own self, my only nemesis. [Chorus] It’s tears from the soul. A soul from the music. Music from the ocean. An ocean from the tears. [Verse 2] Let me take a minute, just to fire away, rhymes in a way making violence fine and okay. Don’t you mind GTA, on your wide TV, played by your friend’s child, what’s his age? Five? Seven-eight? Time’s gon’ betray lives in this game. Sirens embrace the silence, you better hide Andrew Blu’s new CD if you’re wise. Cooking, producing, you can call me future of music, using tuba’s, future organ, and bassoon. And it’s amusing, gets you high, like the Blu(e) shit. I’m Heisenberg in rap, and you are losing. And you are using. I’m rising cause I’m smart. Ricin in your food, and you will fall apart. Abusing you with rhymes. Surrender while you're alive. You’ll be gone. You’re a balloon, and I’m a knife. [Chorus] It’s tears from the soul. A soul from the music. Music from the ocean. An ocean from the tears. [Bridge] What’s the deal with anything if everything is ending? What’s the deal with everything if it was never-ending? Never-ending stories is my everything, but everything is gone. What’s the deal with anything if you're alone? Every tear I had is gone, an ocean now is born. And the ocean’s singing songs, and from the music comes a soul. It’s evolving, and evolving, and it’s growing, growing old. And it’s crying, and crying, and crying, and crying alone. [Chorus x2] It’s tears from the soul. A soul from the music. Music from the ocean. An ocean from the tears.

[Verse 1] Won't you close your eyes for me? Open up your mind and you'll see. Let the thoughts that you've been avoiding come and play. Won't you fold your hands for me? Open up your heart and you'll see. Let the tears that you've been stacking leave your face. [Instrumental Chorus] [Verse 2] Don't you show no signs at all that you're still alive, or you'll fall. Cause alive means that you're vulnerable, like me. Don't you go and hide, my love. Stay right by my side, it's us. Let the moment fall apart, but don't let me. [Verse 3] Life is like a light that is blinding me, and if it had a face it probably would have been smiling. See, it knows that what we know as time is running out, good bye. Life is more like Death to the planet we admire. And we're fighting, every day and night, yet we don't know why. People are leaving their child, and wife - trading life for a rifle. It's like a cycle, it goes 'round and around. Take this record as a warning, feel the peace in the sound. Imagine now... [Pre-Chorus] The swing is gonna take you to the sky. The love is gonna burn you like a fire. This sound is gonna take over your mind. [Chorus] Just visualize... (x4) [Bridge] Let yourself into the sun, let the air into your lungs, let the world be your alliance. Let the scent into your nose, let your hands feel flowers grow, let the stars keep on shining. Let my words into your ear, forget the curse, cause life's not here right now. [Chorus] Just visualize... (x8)

Some of Us 04:04
lyrics

Some of us wait for money. Some of us wait for love. Others wait for peace in the heavens up above. Some of us wait for freedom. Some of us wait for truth. Others wait for darkness and a giant shiny moon. But don’t you ever, no matter what you’re waiting for stop smiling. You can fly away, be the biggest, and the greatest they will ever see. Some of us claim it’s really all the same. Some of us doesn’t wait at all. Some of us wait for all their dreams to fall. But I don’t wait for nothing at all. Yesterday I woke up, wondering why the hell I’m living in the same house I did when I was nine. Now I’m twenty, and I'm saying “what the devil am I waiting for?”, and when I thought about it, it was nothing at all. See, I don’t wait for no love cause I know I can’t handle it. And money’s on my mind, but I know I can’t get to it. So what? Am I waiting for the sky to fall? Or simply just not a single fucking thing at all? I know I have been waiting for the clock to tic-toc back a shitlong amount of time. So I could tell my aunt, and my uncle what to do, and what not. And do the same for my cousin who’s been living with drugs. But it was a long time ago, and now they’ve all abandoned me. So what is there to wait for? Creating more enemies? I know they were all waiting for some cannabis. Waiting is a drug, and it’s common in my family. But don’t you ever, no matter what you’re waiting for stop smiling. You can fly away, be the biggest, and the greatest they will ever see. ] Some of us claim it’s really all the same. Some of us doesn’t wait at all. Some of us wait for all their dreams to fall. But I don’t wait for nothing at all. Nothing is too less for me. And heaven is just misery. Waiting is a drug, that’s why it’s common in my family. Just some thoughts are left for me, but I’ll smile for an eternity knowing I was different from the people in my shattered dreams. Some of us claim it’s really all the same. Some of us doesn’t wait at all. Some of us wait for all their dreams to fall. But I don’t wait for nothing at all.

Travelling with the stars Further into the dark Wondering if forever is just a word to make us calm… tonight… ha - ha Love and life in one combined Trying to escape the light Wondering if there isn’t a single thing that could make us calm… at all… ha - ha Here I’m floating singing songs in space… For countless nights and thousand endless days… What’s the deal with passion if there’s nothing in your way? What’s the deal with learning if there is no mistakes? I am just a simple being Empty soul, yet full of feelings Take me now or leave me be alone… tonight… ha - ha I am just a simple being Living in the melody. Embracing love, that leaves me with no song… at all … ha - ha Music A dream of a forgotten melody A dream of fear and sorrow, a song about the life A harmony so dangerous, aggressively alive Music A dream of thousand roses on the beat A sign of art and wonder, so magically combined A feeling very beautiful, like destiny and time Here I’m floating singing songs in space… For countless nights and thousand endless days… What’s the deal with passion if there’s nothing in your way? What’s the deal with learning if there is no mistakes?
