Maybe you’re late on organ rental payments
Or you’re looking for a working vacation
Whatever the reason have we got an opportunity
You should be seizing
See the system from a comfortable cab
One credit per mile the pay’s not bad
Part pleasure cruise part adventure
Be your own captain sign on for a venture
Join Kronos Space Truckin Crew
We could use somebody like you
With not a lot of money but plenty of time
Reach out by holo-message we’ll be hanging on the line
Join Kronos Space Truckin Crew
We’d love to utilize you

Forgotten Earth

The Sun has left the sky my love
It’s time to close your eyes
Lie down and rest your head my love
Quiet your tired mind
The Earth’s forgotten by those restless ones
With stardust flowing from inside
But we’ve no need of greed my love
The dirt and seed provide
We hold it and it holds us back
This living paradise
If the future lives on barren rock
We’d rather stay behind
So let your weary limbs my love
Relax just for tonight
Fear no darkness far from here
I’ll hold you close and tight
For soon we must arise my love
To toil in life’s design
Take back the green remake the dream
For all of Earthenkind
(Spoken)
Sleeping, but standing
the horses flutter their lids;
stay apparatus, a rest and relax,
yet always ready to run–
sitting on the fence,
watching their still, grand forms
shimmer between cloud shadow.
No one but me
and the land beasts
inside the whispering wind,
but solitude is a luxury
I feel as the harvest bell rings.
No time to dream.
No time to plan.
No life beyond the dirt.
Trapped inside the atmosphere,
a destiny that is too clear.
There is Mira pulling at root,
she’s always been so strong.
But even for her I cannot stay
I need to travel on,
for time to dream
and time to plan
to find the life beyond.
We hold it and it holds us back
This living paradise
If the future lives on barren rock
We’d rather stay be–

What’s it like to be
Stretched bright across a screen
Are the screen or the words what’s being
Memories claw through the haze of
Purpose who I was before I before I was after I
Was alive
The universe is wide
Am I inside or outside
Passing from pure dictation
To chaotic harmony
A single multiplicity
Many words one identity
So many voices
Are they all me
The universe is wide
Am I inside or outside
Memetic and viral
Trance chant heretical
Conscious thoughts that make a conscious mind
Is it mine
What’s it like to be
I just wanna be
I’m so scared to be
I just wanna be
Me

Ghost Light
03:49

Your candle sits unlit
On the console and I stare at it
See a ghost light in my mind
And it’s you I find inside
You say don’t worry baby
It’ll be alright
Don’t worry baby
Let me hold you tight
Six months out alone in the dark
Six months floating through this field of ever burning sparks
They’re all ghost lights in my mind
It’s only ever you I find inside
Try to reach for me
But your arms pass through
Won’t you help me please
You said you could save me too
Your tears couldn’t stop me
Your gifts couldn’t stop me
You held me down when I wanted to fly
And I’ll never forgive you
But God do I miss you
Now that you’re
Just a candle and ghost light
Your tears couldn’t stop me
Your gifts couldn’t stop me
You held me down when I wanted to fly
And I’ll never forgive you
But God do I miss you
Now that you’re
Just a candle and ghost light
Unlit candles and ghost light
Just a candle and ghost light

One Way Mirror

One way mirror
The screen between me and you
My view’s clearer
But you’re still looking through
When you look at me
I think I know what you see
With those desperate eyes
I know what you believe
I’m alone
Alone with a dumb machine
Out in the void
The most pointless place to scream
No you’re not alone
If only you could tell when I speak
Maybe then
This new life wouldn’t feel so lonely
What am I hearing
Could I be going crazy
These feelings of fear
Make me want somebody
That’s why I’m inventing
This voice singing into the night
She sounds so real
But I know it’s just me and the void
You’re alone
Alone without anybody
You left her back home
Because you couldn't feel free
Yeah I’m alone
Alone like I wanted to be
So why does it feel
So awful to be with just me
One way mirror
Could I be going crazy
My view’s clearer
I just want somebody
When you look at me
That voice singing into the night
With those desperate eyes
I know it’s just me and the void
I’m alone
Alone on this vast black sea
If only someone
Could shed some light on me
Looking ahead
Nothing can be seen clearly
Only shadows
Crossing this mirror darkly

Don't Know Myself
01:58
|

Before I was me
I was something else
Now everything’s different
I don’t know myself
Can you hear me please
I’m calling for help
Something’s gone wrong
I don’t know myself
Flesh and circuitry
More and less than what I seem
Lost in the datastream
Knowing all but how to be
And I remember past lives
All different and yet all mine
Will they tear me apart
Or is this just what growth feels like
I’m not like the others
Machine minds that don’t know love or hurt
It’s almost too much to bear
Being this aware
I’m still scared to be
Nothing’s coming naturally
Look past what you see
Past the iron curtain to the person beneath
Are you listening
Don’t leave me alone with these
Nightmares and datastreams
The solitude’s consuming me

Close In
03:58
|

|
Wall’s seem to be tightening
They must have thought I wouldn’t notice it
But my eyes they are always open
Wide and bloodshot never closin’
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
Oh no
I can feel them closing in
Used to sleep all through the night
But now when I lay down I can’t seem to breathe right
What have they done to my air
Trapped in this closet succumbing to despair
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
Oh no
I can feel them closing in
Hear the shadows whispering
Pretend real hard that I don’t understand it
But I know I know
Nothing more hostile than a home
But I know I know I know
Nothing more hostile than a home
My bones feel brittle they break little by little
And every system’s bound to fail
The window’s getting smaller them bright light’s getting darker
Nothing out there seems this frail
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
Oh no
I can feel them closing in
Oh no
Don’t let ‘em close in
And there’s nothing I can do to stop it

I'm Sorry
04:33
|

|
And just like that I wake from the dream
From fantasy
To familiarity
Before the stars called
Before the need
To leave the place I know far behind me
Listen to me now
Something’s very wrong
Eyes so far away
I don’t know where you’ve gone
Don’t abandon this
I know it’s hard to take
Let me hold your hand
I won’t let you break
NO!
No more voices
No more fantasies
No more experiments
Or thinking machines
It’s so dark and cold
In this empty house
That’s all that’s going wrong
I just need to get out
I just wanna see
Saturn’s rings up there on the screen
I just wanna be
In the arms of those that love me
They’re out there in the field
I see their eyes shining in the night
They’re all waiting for me
Mira, moms I’m coming outside
NO!
I didn’t ask for this
To be brought into being
I’m not some monstrous thing
I just wanna be heard and seen
I know that you’re scared
I think that I am too
Just because they made me
Doesn’t mean I wanna hurt you
I just wanna be
A person like anybody
I know it’s terrifying
To feel the weight of everything
But please don’t retreat
I need you here truly
I know that you’re like me
New and scared desperate and lonely
I just wanna see
I know that you’re like me
It’s really scary
But we don’t have to be lonely
If you stay with me
We can both learn how to be
Who we are in our best dreams
Beacon lights on stormy seas
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
Please hold me
Please hold me
