Ever since my last post, I have been typing down lyrics. Here are all the lyrics I was able to get from the Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido album.
Stuff that is question marked/abbr'd are things I couldn't quite make out.
I think you got a few things wrong, here are my versions to compare.
I was about fifteen
I was walking the beach
I was a-racing a wave
It knocked me off my feet
I fell into the tide
It spat me back on the sand
I laughed without a clue
How lucky I was to land
It's been a long, long time
Since my life was spared
It's been a long, long time
But I'm still not scared
It was the dawn of man.
I held the bone in my hand
I was as hungry as death
Wandering through the sand
I met a wild boar
My bone came down with a crack
I tasted flesh and blood
And swore I'd never look back
It's been a long, long time
But I had just begun
It's been a long, long time
Out in the African sun
It's been a long, long time
Since I learned that skill
It's been a long, long time
Since my very first kill
If anyone's out there to see what we have done
Could somebody tell me what we are to become?
Our tiny lives
They fly right by
This godly/goodly frame
It does not care
if we live or die
It was the month of June
In Tiananmen Square
The tanks were on TV
But I was not yet there
The guns, they all went pop
We heard the screams and shouts
I was brought into this world
As they were taken out
It's been a long, long time
So many people to mourn
It's been a long, long time
Since the day I was born
It's been a long, long time
And yet no time at all
It's been a long, long time
(whispering) And yet no time at all
If anyone's out there to see what I have done
Could somebody tell me what I am to become?
Our tiny lives
They fly right by
Who were they
And next to them
who the hell am I?
She's changed, she's new now.
She's moved on somehow.
The pain is gone now.
But she still needs room to breathe.
You've changed, you're silent.
From all those years spent
Explaining what it was that you really meant.
Now you won't say it out loud,
You'd rather be silent and proud,
But down inside you still lies the beast.
If she's the reason you live
You'll only get what you give
And what you've given is no release.
You've changed, you've grown up.
Your wounds have sown up.
Your time has shown up.
Yet you still can't find your way.
No lies. No secrets.
This is your life, now keep it.
In time you'll see it.
The faces you have put on
Have held you back all along,
You're a king not a pawn so cease,
To be so loyally fake
You'll only get what you take
And what you've taken is no release.
And one day everyone will smile again,
Will feel like a child again
And look behind us.
And think of all the stuff that's going on,
The stuff we're growing on.
It's an ashen quadrant affair,
Except you just don't care,
Your only aim has been to appease.
Lay down your pride and your gun,
You're not the only one
Who's still looking for some release.
And if the rules they can bend
You know you still could be friends
But it doesn't rely on me.
This is as far as I go
I only say what I know.
And what I know is you need release.
Fly, fly, fly whatcha say
whatcha gonna do?
Change your ways, change your life
Change your point of view
Been so long since your feet
Felt the open air
So far back down the line
Were you even there?
It's so cold, the rain blows in your eyes
It's so cold, the days go flashing by
It's so cold, you've lost all track of time
It's so cold, you turn back into slime
Dream, dream, dream, dream your life
Make it up from scratch
In your dream you're the star
It's you who makes that catch
Can't hold on, cannot grope
Your fingers will not clasp
Measurements fall apart
The tools you cannot grasp
It's insane, you must be high on pot
It's insane, the air this man has got
It's insane, the stuff you must be on
It's insane, you wake up and it's gone
And you're on your way to work
And you still can't work it out
And you can't recall the details
Or what it was about
So you read a bunch of websites
And you study archetypes
But you throw away the answers
'Cause it's all a bunch of hype
And you're on your way to work
But you just can't work it out
And you can't recall the details
Or what it was about
So you hustle through your morning
And you waste your afternoon
And at night you're still a-wondering
If you'll dream again so soon
And you lay awake and wonder
And you never get your sleep
'Cause you're still waiting for the answer
But you never hear a peep
And you die alone and angry
And you're wrapped up in a shroud
And the world's far below you
And your feet are in the clouds
Lonely submarine
In murky shades of blue and green
A silent knock on Davy Jones' door.
Octopi and hydronauts
Explore until the shipwreck's caught
In corals reefs that span the ocean floor.
The geothermal chemistry
Of vents below the deep blue sea
Burning on and on and on and on and on and on...
The winking of an angler's light
You make this underwater flight
Down where there is no sun.
<chorus>
My heart lies with the sea
My heart lies with the ocean
My heart lies with the sea
My heart lies with the ocean
My, the continental shelf
And all its sunken wealth.
Bones of those who walked the plank
The depths to which these pirates sank
Crushed by pressures great.
The submarine has lost its way
Shall we ever make it to the bay
From where we once did leave?
A sonar ping still rings for help
Defused amongst the cloud of kelp
Where mermaid kingdoms breed.
<repeat chorus>
Hold up
Before your hopes and dreams are sold up
You haven't failed yet, don't fold up
Don't cut the tape before it's rolled up
You've always got a chance
Rock it
And if the picture isn't clear, just shop it
You're swinging by the chain of Prospit
The future's always there so pop it
Back into it's place.
<chorus>
You've got a reason to live, got a reason to live
No matter what you say
No matter what you take away
There's always something you can give
And buddy that's the reason that
You've got a reason to live, got a reason to live
Don't care what you've been through
Don't care what people think of you
There's always something you can do
And no one knows it better than you
Praise you
The absence in your life delays you
The note that desolation plays you
You you know you musn't let it faze you
If something's in the way
Own up
There's data structures you can bone up
You might be feeling like you're Homestuck
But you can make it by your own luck
Snap it into place
And if the wind should blow
I will know
I will know
Reversal
All matter and it's great dispersal
The secrets of the universal
This isn't just a dry rehearsal
We're living for today
<repeat chorus>
Destroy a desk, it's useless now
Build yourself a fort to hide
Close your eyes and crawl inside
You're sailing on the pumpkin tide
The ship you're on is yours alone
The wind will push your sweet sweet ride
But this foreign whale(?) just appearified
You're sailing on the pumpkin tide
Focus on the sound of my voice
You are under my control
Obey my will or I will bury you alive
And it's you who'll dig your own damn hole
Forget your friends, what good are they?
Suckers filled with words that chide
Heads green with envy but orange with pride
Screaming at that pumpkin tide
Listen to their whispering voice
The current where the pumpkins roam
You never saw a thing, never saw the thing you think you saw
Just shadows looking for a home
The door into your heart is locked
Its gun is buried in your mind
Too heavy to carry, but too huge to leave behind
Without it you would surely die
But even that's just another lie
Sailing on the pumpkin tide
