Have you ever,
Have you ever been afraid of everything?
Have you ever,
Have you ever been afraid of nothing at all?
Have you ever,
Have you ever been afraid of the horrors escaping from your imagination?
Have you ever?
Have you ever?

Come on with me and upgrade, it doesn’t cost a thing;
for free mobility higher than black and white.
Two hundred fifty-six shades of gray scale, hit the button again;
You’ll see the Red and Green and Blue hues…
And perhaps you’ll see, there could be so much more for you and me.
Can you feel your heart pumping faster and harder?
Now that you’ve had a taste won’t you ‘least try and answer true?
Wanna take another hit? You sure you’re ready for more of this shit?
There ain’t no turning back, once you’ve opened your eyes;
it’s something you can’t hide.
Poke the button again, roll through eight-bit, twelve-bit, thirty-two-bit color so true;
Seven twenty, ten eighty! 4K, 5K so clear.
Can you feel your heart pumping faster and harder?
Now that you’ve had a taste won’t you ‘least try and answer true?
Could black and white television ever satisfy you?
Can black and white television really satisfy you?

I Choose You

They’d say you stole my heart, when I was finished with being on the run;
on a trip to Denver, dropping off some rescue dogs and, getting sauced, having fun.
I glanced into that rear-view mirror, and you, cracked that Mona Lisa smile;
I tell you Denver that night, felt higher than just one mile.
But baby you’re no thief, you can’t steal what’s been freely given;
and it was time for me to make some changes in how I’d been livin’.
Oh it was my decision – I didn’t stumble into some hole in the road – I decided,
Right then I decided.
I, Choose, You.

First World Problems

Can I trouble you with my first world problems?
Can I trouble you, just a little while?
Can I distract you with these first world problems?
Outrage, then reset, with just a splash of denial.
Maybe we just need to go out camping,
Could be it’s time for us to unplug;
We can leave this machine behind for a little while,
Uncharted regions spreading mile upon mile.
You stand there staring at your own reflection,
Come along with me for a little while;
You and me got nothin’ but first world problems,
You and me got nothin’ but first world problems.
But there’s lions and tigers and bears out there,
Spiders and snakes and baby alligators too;
Kangaroos and the great white whales so no, No, NO
Don’t wanna drown in no first world problems,
Let’s put a filter on the amplifiers;
If you and me we put our heads together,
We can stop those people, wanna set this world on fire!
