Age Of Distraction 

Cracks are getting deeper 

Storms are growing bigger 

Feel like we’re living in the eye of a hurricane 

We vote for leaders 

Killers and deceivers 

Maybe we’re flying on a hijacked aeroplane 

 

Wo-oh oh-oh…wo-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Wo-oh oh-oh…wo-oh-oh-oh-oh 

 

Millions of people 

Running from a tragedy 

Pure desperation and nowhere to go 

Who do we think we are 

Closing all our borders down 

These people are not our enemy 

Someday they could be you or me    (Come on) 

 

While we’re living in the age of distraction 

We’re missing out on half the light of the sun 

We need to show up and bare witness to our lives 

Coz something isn’t working 

When kids are suicidal 

Let’s fall in love with mother nature again 

 

Wo-oh oh-oh… wo-oh-oh-oh-oh        (In love with mother nature again) 

Wo-oh oh-oh… wo-oh-oh-oh-oh 

 

Modified genetics 

Oceans full of plastic 

It’s hard to be a human in a cynical machine 

This is the only home we got 

This tiny little blue dot 

There’s really nowhere else to go 

There’s really nowhere else to go 

There’s really nowhere else to go 

 

While we’re living in the age of distraction 

We’re missing out on half the light of the sun 

We need to show up and bare witness to our lives 

Coz something isn’t working no, something isn’t working 

Oh while we’re living in the age of distraction 

We’re missing out on half the light of the sun 

Oh we need to show up and bare witness to our lives 

Coz something isn’t working 

When kids are suicidal 

Let’s fall in love with mother nature again 

Wo-oh oh-oh… wo-oh-oh-oh-oh        (In love with mother nature again) 

Wo-oh oh-oh… wo-oh-oh-oh-oh x3

 

Paper Thin 

I wanna believe in a better reality 

I wanna be open to all possibilities 

I’m gonna juggle whatever life throws at me 

As soon as I muster the courage to get myself 

Up out of bed 

 

When you’re in the dark 

In the middle of winter 

Life flame just a spark 

And your body is frozen 

And you feel old like a grey soul 

And the trees have lost all their leaves 

Hold me gently 

Skin is paper thin 

 

I wanna believe in a luminous universe 

I wanna be able to give my love unrehearsed 

I’m gonna listen to my intuition first 

As soon as I’m able to get self destructive thoughts 

Out of my head 

 

When you’re in the dark 

In the middle of winter 

Life force just a spark 

And your body is broken 

And you feel old like a grey soul 

And the trees have lost all their leaves 

Hold me gently 

Skin is paper thin 

Paper thin 

 

And you feel old like a grey soul 

And the sun is no longer warm… 

Skin is paper thin 

 

Automatic Outcome  

I pulled my car over by the side of the road  

Rolled the window down as I started to moan  

Suddenly I started screaming  

I’m sick of all this pointless suffering  

We’re lemmings in a line running over the edge 

  

Believe me I don’t think it’s an automatic outcome  

We’re magical when we open our eyes  

  

We have a beautiful soul  

We’re made of stars  

I do believe in limitless love  

And I’m not scared to speak anymore  

  

I sank into my seat as I started to cry  

Comfort makes humanity turn a blind a eye  

And suddenly I started dreaming  

A quantum leap of consciousness is coming  

I see it in the eyes of my beautiful sons 

  

Believe me I don’t think it’s an automatic outcome  

We’re magical when we open our eyes  

  

We have a beautiful soul  

We’re made of stars  

I do believe in limitless love  

And I’m not scared to speak anymore  

(Instrumental)  

Believe me I don’t think it’s an automatic outcome  

We’re magical when we open our eyes  

  

We have a beautiful soul  

We’re made of stars  

I do believe in limitless love  

We’re made of stars  

I do believe in limitless love  

We’re made of stars  

I do believe in limitless love  

And I’m not scared to speak anymore…anymore

 

Twentynine Years 

And I wonder why you fled 

Left blood stains on my bed 

Cut me just enough to leave a permanent scar 

 

Stole the air out of my lungs 

The magic from my tongue 

Left me on the battlefield without a gun 

 

Father please come back to me 

I’m grown but there’s a kid in me 

For twentynine years I’ve been trying to feel whole again 

And I’m failing 

 

For all the wisdom that I’ve won 

Pretending I was strong 

Only to disintegrate and fall apart 

Told us that you fell in love 

I guess I was not enough 

For you to carry on and try to overcome  

 

Father please come back to me 

I’m grown but there’s a kid in me 

For twentynine years I’ve been trying to feel whole again 

And I’m failing 

(Instrumental) 

 

Father please come back to me 

I’m grown but there’s a kid in me 

For twentynine years I’ve been trying to feel whole again 

For twentynine years I’ve been trying to connect with you again 

For twentynine years I’ve been trying to feel whole again 

And I’m failing 

 

 

Born Into A War 

You were born into a war 

It’s your mind they’re fighting for 

Taught your heart that it is wrong 

To make you soldier on 

 

Take a bunk on the battle ship 

Never stop and question it 

Pay your bills with a broken smile 

And laugh when you retire 

 

How the hell are we drafted into this 

Nightmare machine?

Don’t you ever wanna run away 

Jump off a cliff 

In a wing suit with a parachute 

 

Cause your body is a revelation 

The perfect ship for exploration 

And a compass built in 

Right inside your chest 

You gotta follow it 

 

You were born at the perfect time 

For the shift of paradigm 

Shape your heart into a blade 

Your kindness a grenade 

How the hell have we crafted such a mess? 

A nightmare machine 

Don’t you ever wanna fly away? 

On a one way trip 

Learn Aikido in Tokyo 

 

Cause your body is a revelation 

The perfect ship for exploration 

And a compass built in 

Right inside your chest 

You gotta follow it 

Cause your body is a revelation 

The perfect ship for exploration 

And a compass built in 

Right inside your chest 

You gotta follow it 

 

You were born into a war 

It’s your mind they’re fighting for

 

 

They 

Walking through the woods 

Things don’t seem like they should 

No birds not a sound 

I’m looking around 

Only shadows abound 

 

And they never allow you to be 

Who you are, you are, you are 

They will slowly turn your heart 

Into coal, your soul, you’re soul, you’re soul 

 

7.45 the machine is coming alive 

Step onto the belt 

Play the hand you’ve been dealt 

And push this old train down to hell 

 

And they never allow you to be 

Who you are you are you are 

They will slowly turn your heart 

Into coal, your soul, you’re soul, you’re soul 

 

And all your inhibitions 

They are all reflections of everyone 

You’re searching for protection 

You could be naked in the sun 

(Instrumental) 

 

And all of the voices you hear in your head 

Give them an honest smile and then put them back to bed 

You know what I think that we really need to do 

We need to live without believing life is a thing to forgive 

 

Walking through the woods 

Things don’t seem like they should

 

 

Tiny Ironing Board 

Look at the dancing trees 

Olympic Mountains breathe 

Look at your own blue hands 

Your feet kiss the land 

The sun and icebergs play 

Magical Disko Bay 

Feels like a love supreme 

A psilocybin dream 

 

Beautiful human you don’t have to be afraid 

You go to bed dying and you wake up back where you came from 

You wake up back where you came from 

You gotta let go of material things 

Show your real self coz you’re going back where you came from 

You’re going back where you came from 

 

My eyes are full of tears 

Concurrent joy and fear 

A tiny ironing board 

What do I use that for? 

Sacred geometry 

Infinite mystery 

Benevolent universe 

Whispers in my ear 

 

Beautiful human you don’t have to be afraid 

You go to bed dying and you wake up back where you came from 

You wake up back where you came from 

You gotta let go of material things 

Show your real self coz you’re going back where you came from 

You’re going back where you came from 

 

Oh there are mountains to climb 

Oceans to dive inside 

You’re a soul on the earth 

Searching for who you are 

 

Beautiful human you don’t have to be afraid 

You go to bed dying and you wake up back where you came from 

You wake up back where you came from 

You gotta let go of material things 

Show your real self coz you’re going back where you came from 

You’re going back where you came from 

Beautiful human you don’t have to be afraid 

You go to bed dying and you wake up back where you came from 

You wake up back where you came from

 

Deep Snow 

I’ve got a long way to go 

On a dark hidden road 

In deep deep snow 

Deep deep snow 

 

I’ve got a mind filled with ghosts 

Friendships that broke 

In deep deep snow 

Deep deep snow 

 

I’m swimming upstream, it’s cold 

I’m not the man that I used to be 

I’m looking ahead and I know 

All things are how they’re supposed to be 

 

Blue, blue 

Blue, blue 

 

I took a long breath of smoke 

Tried to sink tiny boats 

In deep deep snow 

Deep deep snow 

 

I had a warm heart that froze 

In a tower of gold 

And deep deep snow 

Deep deep snow 

 

I’m swimming upstream, it’s cold 

I’m not the man that I used to be 

I’m looking ahead and I know 

All things are how they’re supposed to be 

I’m swimming upstream, it’s cold 

I’m not the man that I used to be 

I’m looking ahead and I know 

All things are how they’re supposed to be 

 

Blue, blue 

Blue, blue 

Blue, blue 

 

I’ve got a long way to go 

On a dark hidden road 

In deep deep snow 

Deep deep snow

 

Maggie 

Maggie never knew how to talk to people 

Never met your eye for the fear of judgement 

Living in her skin like it’s a fortress 

Maggie is a misfit 

At least that’s what she think 

But oh…oh…oh…      Maggie you’ll be alright 

Oh…oh…                    take back control of your life 

Oh…oh…                    love is gonna lead your heart home 

Oh…oh…                    Maggie you’ll be alright 

Maggie had a father who loved the bottle 

Couldn’t find a way to get attention 

Hold her ears against the midnight fighting 

Head on a pillow of sadness 

In a melody of madness 

But oh…oh…oh…      Maggie you’ll be alright 

Oh…oh…                    take back control of your life 

Oh…oh…                    love is gonna lead your heart home 

Oh…oh…                    Maggie you’ll be alright 

                                    Maggie you’ll be alright 

                                    Coz Maggie I see your light 

(Instrumental) 

But oh…oh…oh…      Maggie you’ll be alright 

Oh…oh…                    take back control of your life 

Oh…oh…                    love is gonna lead your heart home 

Oh…oh…                    Maggie you’ll be alright 

Oh…oh…                    Maggie you’ll be alright 

Oh…oh…                    take back control of your life 

Oh…oh…                    love is gonna lead your heart home 

Oh…oh…                    Maggie you’ll be alright 

                                    Maggie I see your light 

                                    Maggie you’re gonna be alright (yes you are) 

                                    Maggie I see your light 

                                    Maggie you’ll be alright

 

 

Babylon Lies In Ruins

I was never lazy 

Just a little doubtful of myself 

I am mostly lonely 

Even among family and friends 

 

Oh well… 

The ocean swells 

The orange king has the codes 

Slow burn of an angry earth 

Fault-lines 

Hurricanes 

 

I wish I was taller 

First impressions matter most of all 

I am just a brown boy 

Born to serve a white supremacy 

 

Oh dear… 

We’re nearly there 

Babylon lies in ruins
