way back when you were playing in the dirt
you thought you were the kings of this earth
come to find out you were baited to believe
and bait is all you'll ever be
you're gonna catch a big fish just you wait and see
pay no mind as the hook digs deep
or to the mighty hands at the end of the line
always waiting to collect whatever you can find
squirm all you want the hook won't feel a thing
growing up is not like you imagined
raised on the farm of modern living
born just to buy everything they're selling
you're gonna catch a big fish just you wait and see
pay no mind as the hook digs deep
or to the mighty hands at the end of the line
always waiting to collect whatever you can find
way back when you were playing in the dirt
you thought you were the kings of this earth
come to find out you were baited to believe
and bait is all you'll ever be

"The Electric Drama"
There is a line,
Just on the other side of tomorrow
Some of us push forward,
Some of us follow
No longer are we capable
of just sitting still
High speed connectivity
across the world to deep inside of me
an emerging new reality
shapes every part of you and me
Electric men and women
Crawling out from the mannequin age
From monkeys in a golden cage
to self portraits on a cyber stage
customized and digitized
we've uploaded and traded our lives
High speed connectivity
across the world to deep inside of me
an emerging new reality
shapes every part of you and me
Projecting what we want to be
onto computer screens
transhuman identities
coded in binary

Raised on dreams
factory molded by the world machine
there is no default control
it's always a battle for your soul
Don't rely on the plans
that you were sold
there are so many things
not being told
any way you face could be the right direction
it doesn't matter where your going,
just where you're headed
take a paved road
or wear your own path
it doesn't matter if you get there
so long as you're headed somewhere
Success is relative to what you want to do and see
Direction is relative
to where we are, and want to be
any way you face could be the right direction
it doesn't matter where your going,
just where you're headed
take a paved road
or wear your own path
it doesn't matter if you get there
so long as you're headed somewhere
Be headed somewhere, or
You'll never get there
Be headed somewhere, or
You'll never get anywhere

Collapsed and drifting to sleep
the smallest thought
grows like a seed
deep inside of me
forever expanding infinity
the wheels
keep turning
the tires worn out of tread
can't stop this
momentum
nothing stops my restless head
my mind in endless orbit around the sun
my heart beats with the thump of a bass drum
trying to find its circadian rhythm
limbs toss and turn in constant collision
the wheels
keep turning
the tires worn out of tread
can't stop this
momentum
nothing stops my restless head
the waves keep crashing
the time is eroding
exhausted but no sign of slowing
waiting at a railway crossing
waiting for unconsciousness
this thought train is endless
waiting on a wish
this thought train is endless

Aeon Solaris - Dream Her
03:45

There's no place like my bed in town
sleep is the only girl I want to come around
In her arms, I'm without a care
I close my eyes, want to see her there
Tuck me snugly in your sweet embrace
without leaving, I want to leave this place
retreat to the arms of your soft caress
only in your dream can I peacefully rest
Sometimes she's so hard to swallow
with my face buried in a pillow
I dream her, every night
she never comes when I turn out the light
It's less that I'm an insomniac
it's just hard to sleep during a heart attack
every night I hope she comes to me
every night, I dream of sleep
Sometimes she's so hard to swallow
with my face buried in a pillow
I dream her, every night
she never comes when I turn out the light
Z z Z z, She ain't easy, Z z Z z z...
Z z Z z, "Please don't bother me,"
Z z Z z z...
Z z Z z, She ain't easy, Z z Z z z...
Z z Z z, "Please don't bother me,"
Z z Z z z...

Watch your life unfold
with your eyes closed
peeking out from your own little world
Stuck in the ditch, that you're still digging
Life can be a bitch, but you're not even trying
Waiting for the time, that's always coming
Hands over eyes, the clocks still turning
You can't stand to watch it go right out the window
So you look away, waiting for another day
Every day, it's the same story told a different way
Now you can't escape your tendency to procrastinate
(Can't escape... Can't escape...)
Watch the curtain draw,
but ignore the show
an understudy,
who refused the leading role
Dreams sit and wait on the morning horizon
all day waiting while the sun keeps rising
waiting for the time, that's never coming
hands over eyes, the clocks still turning
You can't stand to watch it go right out the window
So you look away, waiting for another day
Every day, it's the same story told a different way
Now you can't escape your tendency to procrastinate
(Can't escape... Can't escape...)
