Lyrics Verse 1 I've got my bags packed and I'm leaving real soon. Eyes to the sky, I am staring at the moon Thinking about the things that I desperately need And it makes me so damn eager to leave Show me something real, give me something I can feel Give me something I can say that I was proud to have built With my own hands, I’m not waiting for a sign I’m not waiting for a flaw in your inferior design Lately I’ve been at war with myself and I know that deep down, its not good for my health Thinking about the future and its painful to see because it feels like the end could be closer than it seems Feeling like each day could be my last so every day I can’t help but ask that if today should be the day that I pass would I be proud of my chosen path I don’t fear my last breath and what happens after I die I’m scared of facing death and leaving nothing behind and so I try to live a life I’ll be proud to lead because there’s so many things that I aspire to be Time is an irreplaceable currency and we’ve been spending it on things that don’t have any longevity Pursuing wealth, like it will guarantee happiness will it really bring a life you will be happy with? I will not be confined because there is no monetary figure you could place on my time. You can have this nine to five I don’t want it anymore because it feels like death could be knocking at my door It had me questioning my self-worth Starting living in fear of the day that I leave Earth Tell me, have you ever felt like this? feeling like every day is an existential crisis? (Wanna know how it feels) Take a step inside my mind Only 23, feeling like I’m running out of time Feeling so impatient, getting really tired of waiting Now my eyes are wide open and I’m taking what is mine. I see it all for what it is I want to take a step outside the home that I live in… To gain that insight that just might show me what I need to succeed in this life Jim Carrey said it best, if you can fail doing what you hate Do what you love instead. It takes courage, but when push comes to shove Life is too damn short to not do what you love so Don’t let the fear paralyse you Let it put you in gear, let it drive you let it ignite your fire, so it shines through and let it burn, till the world learns exactly what's inside you Verse 2 Too scared to live but never want to die. Going through the motions like everything's a lie. Looking all around me at the world that I see. Wondering why it never made sense to me. This existence always seemed like a waste but I was always too afraid to take away all the pain, In my soul. What is a soul anyway? Trying to run away but not sure of what I'm running from. I've always feared that I'm heading nowhere. Where's this life taking me? Is there a destination to this journey? Grinding 9-5 until the day I die. How old are you? 19 but going through a mid-life crisis. They say good comes to those who wait but I fear that this wait will never be over. Watching the world go by while I get left behind in the past. It's all money and power. I'll never be one of them. How can you live with yourselves? Living life with no meaning. Don't you ever wonder why we're here? No, just drink & forget your questions. You question things too much. Our existence means nothing. Where's God when we need Him?

G³ [EP. 02] 05:26
Verse 1 I used to stare into the night above of me Looking at the stars to find a place where there could be Somebody Who looks at us and thinks we are the Gods above Someone to Trust Someone to love When hope is lost Just like us Does it have to be this way? Do we have to live in pain? Thinking nothing is gonna change. I know Rap We are living in a strange time Looking at the same signs, eating up the same lies that they feed us, hoping they defeat us Knowing we are destined for greatness Verse 2 As I, drift away from the Earth Everything looks so damn small from here If I, could take a photo for all that it’s worth It probably couldn’t show, what I see so clear I think about the time wasted and every hour that I had misplaced, due to being complacent and if I knew then, what I know now I wonder if I’d work harder not to waste it I’ve had my eyes wide shut Took a long time, couldn’t make my mind up Sat down on the sidelines long enough Saw my glass half empty, could you fill my cup At least that’s what I thought, but now I see it all for what it is Half full, I just had to give it all I had to give So in death, when I’m asked if I tried my best I can say without a doubt that I did Chorus I’m on a journey and I know it doesn’t matter where I go Because I, know that I won’t be fine, if I stay if I want things to change then I know I gotta Gotta get up, and gotta get out to get it. Gotta get up, and gotta get out to get it. Gotta get up, and gotta get out to get it. Verse 3 We are destined for greatness All we need is a bit of inspiration and bit patience, to remain strong in these tough times till the moment that we break through these confines You just need to believe, And I know you’ll indeed find the strength that you need to succeed but it’s hard when they’re stomping on your dreams in the hope that you will be, another cog in their machine I know you’re sick tired of the way they deceive you having you believe that we aren’t all equal Fed the same lies, every time, that they try, to imply that you will never be as strong as you need to I used to feel small when I look to the stars now I'm feeling like a giant, now I’m standing so far from home, where the forces that I thought could stop me. are tiny, compared to the stars that reside beside me lets go. Chorus I’m on a journey and I know it doesn’t matter where I go Because I, know that I won’t be fine, if I stay if I want things to change then I know I gotta Gotta get up, and gotta get out to get it. Gotta get up, and gotta get out to get it. Gotta get up, and gotta get out to get it.

Verse 1 It’s happening all over again I don’t know how you managed to get into my head but, I don’t mind, it feels nice Just the thought of you’s enough to make me smile and I’m thinking maybe I should probably take a moment to regain my composure, so that when I get to know you I can tell you just between you and me you’ve gotta be the prettiest girl that I ever did see but to gather up the courage is another thing got me runnin' circles just to gather up the confidence You know that feeling when you choke up Words stuck, dumb struck, stuttering like crazy when the times comes I'm so familiar with that feeling and I'm thinking I should really try my best to convince you that I'm willing To be everything you need, but I don't know how So excuse me while I figure out, why Chorus I just don't know, how to Try to figure out the words I could say to you Maybe if I could, you’d understand just how, I feel It should come as no surprise, that when I look into your eyes There’s just no way that I could let you pass me by I just can’t let you pass me by I just can’t let you pass me by Verse 2 She's the kind of girl that have you want to smile more She’s the kind of girl that kind of makes your heart soar She’s the kind of girl that has you up past 4 in the morning, trying to express it through an art form I think about her every day Know what to say, but my shyness always gets in the way I'm trying my best not to advance to quick Just enough to make her realize I really exist Because then, maybe I could do something unusual and gather up the courage to say that I think she's beautiful Maybe then, she could tell me, the same thing that these feelings that I keep are actually mutual Maybe I should do this all the right way and stop thinking bout the things that I might say Because in the midst of it all, I’m just hoping that she Smiles when she’s thinking about me Chorus I just don't know, how to Try to figure out the words I could say to you Maybe if I could, you’d understand just how, I feel It should come as no surprise, that when I look into your eyes There’s just no way that I could let you pass me by I just can’t let you pass me by I just can’t let you pass me by Bridge I think about her all the time when the sun shines I think about her all the time on my train ride I think about her all the time, when my classes drag on, and I tend to wander off into my own mind Chorus I just don't know, how to Try to figure out the words I could say to you Maybe if I could, you’d understand just how, I feel It should come as no surprise, that when I look into your eyes There’s just no way that I could let you pass me by I just can’t let you pass me by I just can’t let you pass me by

Verse 1 Hold up wait a minute, the image I see is vivid Looking at the world I live in and thinking I need you in it. I might be a little forward, I’m sorry for my demeanour I’m always misunderstood, the curse of being a dreamer I could try to explain it, but I don’t that I need to Feel it deep in my being, I’ve waited so long to meet you Took yourself to the stars, and knew no matter how far you went, that I would know what to do if I wanted to reach you It got me thinking, could we be on the same wave length? Wishing I could live inside your heart, Is it vacant? Tell me Is there space yet? Because really I can see i t in your eyes like You’d see my face on Tinder and you’d feel compelled swipe right. I joke around because I know my lines are see through You see me at the core, and you know exactly what I mean to say, so even if we’re galaxies apart you can rewind, return, and re-listen to the part saying Hold up... Chorus No matter what you say or what you do When I’m alone I’d rather be with you Forget these other people I’ll be right be your side till 3005. Hold up Verse 2 I used to think that I was alone, until I met you Black sheep of the pack, I never found a place to fit into I got so used to being on my own, It felt like the world was too big for me Searching around for sympathy, when I knew exactly what I need to be because I know now, that I've gotta be brave If I really wanna change Had to leave behind everything I knew and jump right into, an unfamiliar lane and just over steer, and let go of fear and go on to break right through the stratosphere Until I reached the point that I could see it clear Until I knew for sure that I would find you here Forgive me, But could you be my missing half like we must’ve been, without a doubt, connected, in a past life Red string is intact, it’s woven into the tapestry two spirits connected, dancing to the very same frequency Move together in harmony, into the future ahead From the beginning of this life, to the beginning of the next Into 3005, and every year that comes after it By your side’s where I need to be, as we walk through this labyrinth

Verse 1 I’ve got a lot to get up off my chest as I’m living in the present, tryna see what’s coming next From above, I can see the whole world from here But even though the view is beautiful, I’m overcome by fear Are we doomed? Will we make it? While we desecrate everything that is sacred I try make sense of all the effort that is wasted by the antics of our people and perpetuated hatred The future is pixelated, but I think that maybe we don’t understand The biggest danger to us all, is the arrogance of man Going to war over politics and religion While we’re supposedly aiming towards a similar vision As I, sit upon this rock, looking, back at the Earth I wonder, what it will take for you to, see what it is worth before it all gets worse, will we realise in time? See the error in our ways, before we hit the bottom line? I am asking Chorus Are you out there and do you care at all? this pale blue dot is the only home we know We search around but never seem to find escape, only to see There’s nowhere to run There’s nowhere to run Verse 2 Look what we’re becoming Members of an audience, sitting passively watching Every little ill in the way the world is running Do you even care at all? Do you really feel nothing? I just wish that you could see it from this perspective Looking at the human race as a giant collective We are destined for greatness, but we lack the direction and respect for one another, I just cannot accept it. I just want to know What will it take for us to see we are the same? What will it take for us to see we need a change? What will it take to put an end to all the pain while we go exploit the planet for economical gain When will we have that realisation, that the only way we’ll make it is to unify as one, to put aside our pride and hatred I don’t have an answer, I’m hoping for your attention So that I can pull you up here and have you ask the same question

Verse 1 The world is mine I'm feeling real good, yo I'm feeling fine I woke up feeling better than I did before and now my hands are held up, reaching for the sky Why? because everyday it's the same thing looking at the whole world with a fake grin tryna keep the emotions held in when deep down, you just wanna scream because you can't win It's like the whole world's trying to hurt you and it feels like you can't pull through It's when the stress starts to sink in your chest because you gave it your best, and it still wasn't enough too Get you where you need to be trust me, I know the feelings that you keep beneath I'm just saying every cloud has a silver lining but if your heads kept down, then you'll never find it Chorus I’ve been knocked down, you brought me to my knees I’ve got pocket full of dreams, that you can’t take from me You might have fooled me once before, but I can see you now You could try to pull me under but I’m never ever, ever, ever coming down Verse 2 I have in the palm of my hands a world that I own, but do not understand Always reminded that the form that it takes is not going to be what I already planned I try to avoid negativity and the burden it's giving me but the more that I try to escape It becomes apparent that I can’t get away Took me a while to find the direction that I have to take this life that I'm given because I know that every decision will play a huge role in this life that I'm liven' And so I choose not to pay any attention to the man standing in my reflection because he says that I'm never gonna make it but I don’t even hear a single word that they’re saying

Verse 1 Where are we going? We need to slow down. The world from this height. Seems oh-so-bright If you could only see it now And you know its a wonderful world we live in. But you just can’t feel it right now. We’ve only got one world. and only got one life. It’s time to start living now. Chorus If we could understand why the world goes round Then we won’t feel so down The world is not so blue Because the world is love and everything is love You’ve gotta let the light shine through you. Verse 2 Sometimes I feel the weight of the world up on my shoulders some say that it’s just a symptom of growing a little older And I get it Maybe that is what I’m seeing here when that little sense of wonder’s beginning to disappear Outlook tainted by adulthood, need to press rewind so I could see how the world should be, through of the eyes of a child, so vibrant Maybe that’s what we’re missing, thinking that we are all islands We’re all in this together, you and I are the same So as we sit upon this planet waiting for it to change We fail to see, we need to take matters into our hands and to understand each other is the aim of the plan It’s funny, that in order to learn my purpose on Earth I had to gain the courage in order to leave it first. I was looking for place to belong We’ve been searching for heaven but it was home all along Chorus If we could understand why the world goes round Then we won’t feel so down The world is not so blue Because the world is love and everything is love You’ve gotta let the light shine through you. We are all the same Sitting on the sidelines and waiting for a change

about

O.T.H.E.R

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics looks so petty. You want a grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch."

- Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaught

Foreword

The year is 3005. A boy looks to the sky, yearning to leave behind
a world that only continues to become more unfamiliar by the day.
No matter where he goes, he never seems to find a place that he
can call home. Learning the art of Astral Projection, his spirit disembarks
from it's physical vessel and begins it's ascension beyond the clouds.

This is the story of his journey.
