Something Beautiful, Something Strange

If we could wake up from what we think is real life
We'd get to look not only around but inside too
If we could shake the shackles of the senses loose
We'd get to see ourselves from a truly different view

Just go and break the mind-made cover
And let our love burst into color

If we could leave our fears and biases behind
We'd get to find something beautiful in something strange
If we could weave our souls together seamlessly
We'd get to give our all and ask nothing in exchange

Just go and break the mind-made cover
And let our love burst into color
Just go and break the mind-made cover
And let our love burst into color

Could we understand what we've got
Could we hold it tight and let it go
Could we understand what we've got
Could we hold it tight and let it go

Just go and break the mind-made cover
And let our love burst into color
Just go and break the mind-made cover
And let our love burst into color

music and lyrics by Harri Kangas

With one sleight of his hand trust is gone
Every move is made for distraction
But he couldn't pull his tricks alone
You're the victim of his illusion

And I just can't believe in this world
Where too many truths remain obscure
If love's behind the smoke and mirrors
Then I volunteer to fall for your lure
And to be blown away by you

I don't know what it is that you do
I don't even know I've been beguiled
He says three words and saws you in two
I see you through the eyes of a child

And I just can't believe in this world
Where too many truths remain obscure
If love's behind the smoke and mirrors
Then I volunteer to fall for your lure
And to be blown away by you

So don't reveal your true self
Don't demystify this
Don't disappear on me

And I just can't believe in this world
Where too many truths remain obscure
If love's behind the smoke and mirrors
Then I volunteer to fall for your lure
I volunteer to fall for your lure
I volunteer to fall for your lure
And to be blown away by you

music and lyrics by Harri Kangas

A recon satellite crashed down on my mind tonight
Thirty-six hundred and fifty-three burglar alarms
Somehow went off at once
It's odd given that it had been up there for ten years
Without ever doing anybody any harm
A dot far in the distance

She's been around
She's gone to whatever extent
I've been down here
I've come to a Sputnik moment
And I could use a little space now
Yeah I could use a little space now

My cherished memory was a piece of space debris
Just a thief who came clean in this meteor shower
That knocked my world off course
It makes sense because I had been down here for ten years
Without ever knowing it ran on my mind power
Its sole energy source

She's been around
She's gone to whatever extent
I've been down here
I've come to a Sputnik moment
And I could use a little space now
Yeah I could use a little space now

She stole my life from me
While I looked the other way
She stole my life from me
And she almost got away
Away with it

She's been around
She's gone to whatever extent
I've been down here
I've come to a Sputnik moment
She's been around
She's gone to whatever extent
I've been down here
I've come to a Sputnik moment
And I could use a little space now
Yeah I could use a little space now
I could use a little space now
I could use a little space now
A little space now

music and lyrics by Harri Kangas

We all have our own should haves
You don't know you are mine
One word said or left unsaid
Somewhere along the line

Whatever your life has put you through
Wherever you've gone to start anew
Whoever's the one you go home to
I hope that love has found you
I hope that love has found you

We all have our own what ifs
Distant dreams stay perfect
One thing done or left undone
The butterfly effect

Whatever your life has put you through
Wherever you've gone to start anew
Whoever's the one you go home to
I hope that love has found you
I hope that love has found you

May all of your dreams come true
May all of your dreams come true
