Fly Away 05:57

Seems like you have been Distant from within Looks like you have seen The Monstrosity Have you ever heard Of the speaking bird Did you ever gaze Far beyond your daze Does it not feel like Life’s a distant dream? Do you not believe Your reality Somewhere with a heart Breathing pulsing land Someplace off time’s course That you can call yours Open all three eyes You’re by your own side Surrounded by plants Of all shape and size Colors that you like Appear without form Are you in the sky Or far below Earth Do you start to feel That this place is real Can you start to know That which is your own Do you need a hand Seeing Daydreamland Here’s your open cage Time to fly away Time to Fly Away

I hear a fly buzzing Around He’s been in here for days He feels the sun shining through He feels the rays of light But he cannot seem to get through There’s something in the way And as he taps upon the glass He asks Why She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her in the sky flying so high After a while the buzzing is gone But in a way it’s louder Maybe he found a hidden way out Maybe he found the sun But as I move over to the glass I see him lying there dead Oh what a sad existence for him And now I ask Why She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her flying high up in the sky She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high Look at her in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high She’s a bird in the sky flying so high

Deep Meadows (Day) Where I wait (Dream) Endless fields (Land) Breathe Deeply All is seen Nature’s hand (Where) Flower’s gift (is) A tree’s song (she) There she stands (Is) Heart in hand (this) Mind to mind (real) Breathe Deeply All is seen Lost inside Borrowed eyes I’m tethered Forever

Far in the sky Look to the ground Never again Look to the sky All of the time It’s the right way Look to the ground Never again Look to the sky All of the time It’s the right way Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Do you ever wonder if Do you ever think it could Will you ever know it if Listen closely wait a sec Do you ever wonder if Do you ever think it could Will you ever know it if Listen closely wait a sec Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Maybe now I’m the bird up in the sky Maybe now I’m the bird up in the sky Maybe now I’m the bird up in the sky Maybe now I’m the bird up in the sky Maybe now I’m the bird up in the sky It could catch you Hurt you badly It’s behind you I’m not done yet It could catch you Hurt you badly It’s behind you I’m not done yet Don’t get lost in Daydreamland Don’t get lost in Daydreamland

To Another Day 05:48
lyrics

She is behind Life is in front Take your time now Healing is slow Save a place inside your mind for her And learn from it For your next love Fly away away away Off to another day Where someone’s worth a stay Take a break and wonder why Why people say goodbye Why she would need to lie Hey it’s all okay Keep flying along until she’s long gone Take it day by day Keep flying away Keep flying away

Lost in Daydreamland 03:08
lyrics

And when the interruption cloud has gone and passed by And when you’ve flown so far away you cannot go back And when you realize you are not special at all And when you try to play the game of catch up but loose And when the outside world has become your new cage And when you ask yourself if you’ve made a big mistake When you used to get in the bath so you can relax But now you just lay in your bed and cry your head off Cause no matter how green the grass is in the new age Your mind will always miss that tiny cozy bird cage Your mind will always miss that tiny cozy bird cage And sometimes it hurts when you thought it couldn’t no more And sometimes it feels like you’ve left yourself far behind And sometimes it feels like there’s nothing deeper to love And sometimes it feels like your standing right on the edge Lost in Daydreamland I’m lost in Daydreamland I’m lost in Daydreamland

about

The all new dreamy, electric, helplessly romantic bird Malfunction is here! I dive further into looping synth patterns, major-key melody lines, Odd time signatures, polyrhythms, polymeters, and feel-good vibes! Enjoy!
