Comet (demo) 04:41
Fishnets and short skirts seems the kind of things that you would wear But i've seen a better vision of you before you disappear from my sight You were my 10 second light rays in the corner of my eye You were the missing comet trails that i've been looking for Another vision of you in my dark cosmic ray would probably save my life I know the distances between us is very far for us to see each other But then it'll be nice for us to see each other again through the virtual world You only appear in the middle of the night for me like a shooting star I miss seeing you crossing by when i'm looking up for a better view You were my 5 second light rays in the corner of my eye You were the missing comet trails that i've been looking for Another vision of you in my dark cosmic ray would probably save my life You were my 1 second light rays in the corner of my eye You were the missing comet trails that i've been looking for Another vision of you in my dark cosmic ray would probably save my life

everything's connected nowadays set your clock at eight fifteen and watch your tv turn into black we're falling in a time loop where things goes bad am i predicting my own future life i'm scared to write things in here again my book is filled with all kinds of regrets the walls are starting to change into wax memories they soon become melt am i falling apart again ? set your clock at eight fifteen and watch the photographs disappear from your sight and they won't be there for you anymore take the last drop of your favourite drug and let the chemicals flow into you now listen to the clocks ticking and wait for your own imaginary death to come by everything's connected everything's connected everything is everything is everything is

running away from this place, looking for a new home to stay, things are not looking the same, its time for me to start a new game running away from this place, living in a temporary state of mind, come on darling let's go, to somewhere far away from this place running away from this place, i guess im stuck in a loop where people are just still the same i gotta get out, out from this temporary state of mind falling around falling apart i just have to go away diving around diving around i just have to go away away from this temporary state of mind away from this temporary state of mind away from this temporary state of mind away from this temporary away from this temporary away from this temporary away from this temporary mind

9 - 2 (demo) 03:14
miss your eyes since the day we’re caught up in the void, i always knew that you’re the only one who could save me but things went sideways and i want you to know that i still can’t move on from the love that you gave me back then it’s been awhile since we’ve talked to each other, your voice still echoes in my hallway every night, always thought you’d be coming back to home again but it seems like i’m the only one who’s coming back to you you were a home that i’d like to grow in but i’m sorry that things couldn’t work out like the way it should 9 to 2 was the moment that i fall for you anyway, i just wanted you to know that i still care about you victoria victoria victoria my ramona my ramona my ramona

Put the flower on the car and tape it on the back and I'll drive it around for hours Throw some water on it to keep her alive and fresh so that she wont feel the dying heat I said put the flower on the car and tape it on the front dash and I'll drive her for days Throw some light to her so she can feel the warm feelings Put the flower in the car and tape it to the drivers seat and watch her go Put the flower in the car and tape it to the drivers seat and watch her go to be free

Maybe I was meant to be alone maybe I was meant to be like this maybe just one more and it's over I'm guessing it's never gonna stop maybe if I'm gone they'll notice me maybe she'll regret it when I'm gone lungs are slowly collapsing here comes the bluest light

Stuck in this alternate dimension Computers surrounding me with their cables Plugged into this digital wave Brained washed by this modern technology Consumed by technology Things are not the same anymore Modernization has changed people We're blinded with our own creations This is the modern history This is the modern history This is the modern history This is the modern history (Take me to the distant past) This is the modern history (Take me to the distant past) This is the modern history (Take me to the distant past) This is the modern history (Take me to the distant past)
