Track Name: North
Heavy metal shackles
Cogs in a giant machine
Got blue florescent pipe dreams,
so my body's still asleep
All the tired faces
Trading glances behind me
The lightening strikes above the sea
so I know it's time to leave

Lacing up my boots, abandoning all safety
Everything comes alive in my line of sight

Northern lights
On my own in the expanding night
Beaming bright
Transported north to scrape the skies tonight
Northern lights
Oscillate and illuminate
Intensify
Transported north to light up my eyes tonight

Pushing through the city
like a rocket underground
Exploring every twist and turn
to find the hidden lights and sounds
I stand between the rivers
and my eyes flash blue and green
the arctic water's rushing in
true north, strong and free

Open up my lungs to breathe a new reality
The air's electrified in the starry night

Northern lights
On my own in the expanding night
Beaming bright
Transported north to scrape the skies tonight
Northern lights
Oscillate and illuminate
Intensify
Transported north to light up my eyes tonight
Track Name: Heroes In The Sky
Leave your fear of the unknown
and leave the planet you call home
Leave all the thoughts you think you know
it's time to let them go
Let it go

Extend our hands towards the stars
and dip our toes in the valley of mars
Celestial storm in my backyard
and the universe explodes

Let's see how fast our hearts can go

Cause you and I could be that comet in the sky
if we hold our breath, take a leap, and close our eyes
we could fly
I believe, if we try
we could fly like the heroes in the sky
we could fly

The time is now, the future's here
we'll watch our dark days disappear
I see the water running clear
plans of fate are washed away

Frozen stardust, crystal caves
sparkling towers, cityscapes
Is this a dream, or are we awake?
hand in hand through outerspace

Time stands still for us today

Cause you and i could be that comet in the sky
if we hold our breath, take a leap, and close our eyes
we could fly
I believe, if we try
we could fly like the heroes in the sky
we could fly

We'll be forever stuck in a den of lions
If we don't learn how to put the past behind us

Cause you and i could be that comet in the sky
if we hold our breath, take a leap, and close our eyes
we could fly
I believe, if we try
we could fly like the heroes in the sky
we could fly
Track Name: D.N.A.
Not a loser, but they say you are
you let their words encode who you are
signals synthesize and sweep across your brain
Changing form is a dangerous goal
trading diamonds in for tactless coal
one shot of fabrication to your veins

Zoom in, zoom out
and don't shut down
reactivate

D.N.A.
Not a single mistake in the human race
D.N.A.
Don't be afraid of the dirt on your face
D.N.A.
Not a single mistake
in your D.N.A.

So there you go, off the beaten track
moving forward, still you're so far back
those noises in your head don't go away
Infected brain, system overload
circuit-bent shortcut to undergo
identity extracted, and erased

Breathe in, breathe out
and stop looking down
reanimate

D.N.A.
Not a single mistake in the human race
D.N.A.
Don't be afraid of the dirt on your face
D.N.A.
Not a single mistake
in your D.N.A.
Track Name: The Last Night
meet me at my place at ten, so we can drink till twelve
getting ready for the club that we know all too well
eight of us pile up in my car, the cops might not let us get too far
but they send us on our way, so we can raise some hell

it's the last dance, the last night of the summer
it's the last dance, the last night till next year
so let's stay up all night, we can watch the sunrise, together forever
it's the last dance, so raise your glass before the night disappears

sneaking past the evil eye, so we can go right in
the bass shaking through my bones, it's distorted again
i stick to the floor of the bathroom stall, one more shot for my Facebook wall
let's order up another round, the party never ends

it's the last dance, the last night of the summer
it's the last dance, the last night till next year
so let's stay up all night, we can watch the sunrise, together forever
it's the last dance, so raise your glass before the night disappears

without a doubt, you're like a shot of liquid gold
let it out, let your body lose control
knock em out, one last time before you go

it's the last dance, the last night of the summer
it's the last dance, the last night till next year
stomp my kicks on the floor, i'm still ready for more, together forever
it's the last dance, so raise your glass before the night disappears
Track Name: History Maker
on the ground, you won't make a sound
and it's hard for you to breathe
northern bound, taking you down
getting stronger and gaining speed
if you're on ten, then i'm on eleven
i know you won't catch up
so i can't stick around and watch you drown
in a pool of hungry mud

tattoo my name across the starless sky
i'm a history maker, a history maker
like a rebel and a battle cry
i'm a history maker, a history maker

lifted up, my feet aren't planted
and gravity's lost it's war
i ricochet, i'm radioactive
gold in human form
over your head, i'm traveling lightspeed
i seek out my reverie
but i won't stand in line to make this thing come alive
there'll be no stopping me

tattoo my name across the starless sky
i'm a history maker, a history maker
like a rebel and a battle cry
i'm a history maker, a history maker

tattoo my name across the starless sky
i'm a history maker, a history maker
