AULHOME The
Base What
I draw today will be recognized as shape
I spoke to the base, and the base says we wait
So I smoke an old cigar while the giant sun fades
I spoke to the base and the base says we wait
The base says we’re safe
Now and then
I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then
I feel you’re truly anesthetized that’s why…
When I walk today it’s in silence and in rain
Can a man turn the page while he’s trying to amaze (It ain’t nothin)
So I hold my arms apart;
I don’t deny you anything
I spoke to the base.
And the base says we’re
Flynn. The base says we win
Now and then
I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then oh
I feel those beauties this life belies
They’re like street lights they tunnel on and on
Into these deep nights where the heights of alarm are so steep
So steep I count the falling the sounds
None of these voices turn me around
Above these steeps
I can fly
As lightning cycles over a pious night
I count the falling sounds
And I will not be staying long
Now and then
I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then
I can see those beauties that shun my eyes.
That’s right

Base What
I draw today will be recognized as shape
I spoke to the base, and the base says we wait
So I smoke an old cigar while the giant sun fades
I spoke to the base and the base says we wait
The base says we' re safe
Now and then
I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then
I feel you' re truly anesthetized that' s why
When I walk today it' s in silence and in rain
Can a man turn the page while he' s trying to amaze It ain' t nothin
So I hold my arms apart
I don' t deny you anything
I spoke to the base.
And the base says we' re
Flynn. The base says we win
Now and then
I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then oh
I feel those beauties this life belies
They' re like street lights they tunnel on and on
Into these deep nights where the heights of alarm are so steep
So steep I count the falling the sounds
None of these voices turn me around
Above these steeps
I can fly
As lightning cycles over a pious night
I count the falling sounds
And I will not be staying long
Now and then
I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then
I can see those beauties that shun my eyes.
That' s right
