Unicycle Tandem ride on silver screen Mayfair Actress Kneels before the Tudor Queen But we never take the time to watch the scene Back stage, I’ll never be the one The one that you will know Accepting that I will away be the one behind the show But I can dream that maybe someday it might just be me I’ll be the one that everybody comes to see I can tell you that I know, I am never gonna be the actor you’ll wanna see How I know, I’m stuck behind the curtain It’s apparent it’s the place that I am meant to be Oh I know now But if I try to I’ll be the one on stage oh if I only know how You’ll come to see me All I aspire to be And I am gonna show you Before the curtain comes down And spotlights leave me Behind the curtain this time waiting on my first performance Nerves are waiving curtains raising Closing my eyes I enter stage I’ll show you what I’m made of Become the actor you know the name of Before this I dreamt how, I’d get my chance now, if I’m too succeed here, Become the one you’ve come to see, the one you know. So when the curtain rises, I’ll show how I was meant to be here Become the one you’ve come to see, the one you know. My performance has to steal the show, I counting on it This could be my time to break the mould, to win or loose it. Back stage, I’ll never be the one The one that you will know Accepting that I will away be the one behind the show But I can dream that maybe someday it might just be me I’ll be the one that everybody comes to see I can tell you that I know, I am never gonna be the actor you’ll wanna see How I know, I’m stuck behind the curtain It’s apparent it’s the place that I am meant to be Oh I know now But if I try to I’ll be the one on stage oh if I only know how You’ll come to see me All I aspire to be And I am gonna show you Before the curtain comes down And spot lights leave me Behind the curtain this time waiting on my first performance Nerves are waiving curtains raising Closing my eyes I enter stage I’ll show you what I’m made of Become the actor you know the name of Behind the curtain this time waiting on my first performance Nerves are waiving curtains raising Closing my eyes I enter stage I’ll show you what I’m made of Become the actor you know the name of

Solar Storm 05:21
Cosmic ray, auroras spread across the sky Electric wave, now the satellites are Fall Falling Coronal mass ejection blasting from the sun, magnetic poles switch that turn our world around Tidal waves, they approach, cities crumble as the liquid walls Encroach, across the earth, we are gonna have to rebuild this again Eleven years we didn’t heed the warning Now we find ourselves in a tragic story Unprepared we will lose our glory Now all we do is sing; "But it is what it is A fireball on borrowed time Shockwaves travelling Putting our lives on the line" Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Coronal mass ejection blasting from the sun, magnetic poles switch that turn our world around Tidal waves, they approach, cities crumble as the liquid walls Encroach, across the earth, we are gonna have to rebuild this again Eleven years we didn’t heed the warning Now we find ourselves in a tragic story Unprepared we will lose our glory Now all we do is sing; "But it is what it is A fireball on borrowed time Shockwaves travelling Putting our lives on the line" And so you’ll see, this life you lead Will come to be, a distant memory Eventually, the tides you’ll meet Will prove to be, your last catastrophe There’s no place I’d rather be The waves crashing over me To lose the earth beneath my feet Maybe something else will shine on me Yeah
