Feel like I’m dancing On clouds again It’s kind of funny how time slows When you’re falling, falling, falling You can take what you want But you’re gonna get what you give And I can’t take anymore So give me a reason to live Dead hearts, cold as ice LED paradise Are we just hypnotized Behind our static eyes? Static eyes Static eyes Feel like I’m running, away from here Reaching out, I’m calling Nobody cares, nobody cares I’m just gonna hide myself Making love in a hologram I’m alone, as far as I can tell Cuz I don’t know where I am You can take what you want But you’re gonna get what you give And I can’t take anymore So give me a reason to live Dead hearts, cold as ice LED paradise Are we just hypnotized Behind our static eyes? Dead hearts cry tonight All humans digitized Bury the pain that we all hide Behind our static eyes Static eyes Static eyes Run me over like a highway superstar Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me Take me down to the place that gets you off Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me Static eyes Static eyes Static eyes Run me over like a highway superstar Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me Take me down to the place that gets you off Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me Static eyes Run me over like a highway superstar Static eyes Take me down to the place that gets you off Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me

(Humans) (Humans) (Humans) (Humans) Broken (Humans) Broken (Humans) We're all just broken Human Human Human Human I don't mean what I say Does it make it ok? I know there's something wrong Well, I gotta admit my faith is gone Where do I go from here? Where do I find my hope? Got to erase the fear And find my way home Find my way home I don't mean what I do I guess I'm just a fool for you It's time I realize That maybe I'm just dead inside Where do I go from here? Where do I find my hope? I've got to replace the fear And find my way home Find the way home Broken by mistakes We can't escape the pain Cuz we're all just human Lost in cyberspace Our conscience fades away But we're still just human Humans Find my way home Broken by mistakes We can't escape the pain Cuz we're all just human Lost in cyberspace Our conscience fades away But we're still just human Humans Broken by mistakes We can't escape the pain Cuz we're all just humans Lost in cyberspace Our conscience fades away But we're still just humans Humans We're all just human
3.	Crazy Like That 04:11	lyrics	buy track
Alone in my room Waiting by the phone I put on my headphones So I don't feel alone Lost in the airwaves Of our cosmic fire And I was staring at your photographs Cuz I'm crazy like that We used to stare at the stars Under the midnight sky Under a lunar halo I'll kiss you goodnight Overwhelmed by all this emotion I'm losing my mind Like a satellite I'll orbit you Till the end of time Cuz I'm crazy like that Yeah crazy like that Crazy like that Put on my headphones So I don't feel alone Crazy like that Cuz I'm crazy like that (And now I'm staring at your photographs) Crazy like that (And now I'm staring at your photographs) (I'll be there for you) Crazy like that (We can get through this together) I'll be there for you

Is it you or is it just me? That feels alone and you can’t sleep I wanna remember Wanna forget The beautiful memories And the things unsaid We used to joke around About your favorite shirt And now it smells of sex and mint ice cream I’m sorry, I’m sorry For what it’s worth We were both just lost In the fantasy of a summer’s eve Now I said... Summer is over Seasons change Summer is over It’s time to begin Time to begin again Is it you or is it just me? That feels alone and you can’t sleep I wanna remember Wanna forget The beautiful memories And the things unsaid Summer is over Seasons change Summer is over It’s time to begin Time to begin again Summer is over Seasons change Summer is over It’s time to begin Time to begin again Now that summer is over

Did you get everything you want? Did you get everything you need? Is it better now that I'm gone? I just want you to be happy Rain falls down, down, down Strange how things work out Are you happy now? Are you happy now? Don't die on me now Don't let it break you down Don't die on me now There's an energy in the streets And the wolves are hungry tonight There's blood on the concrete You know I'll never run from a fight Rain falls down, down, down Strange how things work out Are you happy now? Are you happy now? Don't die on me now Don't let it break you down Don't die on me now Rain falls down, down, down Strange how things work out Are you happy now? Are you happy now? Don't die on me now Don't let it break you down Don't die on me now (Don't let it break you down)
6.	Only Happy When It Rains 04:26	lyrics	buy track
I'm only happy when it rains I'm only happy when it's complicated And though I know you can't appreciate it Why it feels good to feel so sad I'm only happy when it rains Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me I feel good when things are goin' wrong I only listen to the sad, sad songs (I only smile in the dark) My only comfort is the night gone black Didn't accidentally tell you that I'm only happy when it rains Pour your misery down (Happy when it rains) I'm only happy when it rains Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me You'll get the message by the time I'm through When I complain about me and you You can keep me company As long as you don't care (I only smile in the dark) You wanna hear about my new obsession? I'm riding high upon a deep depression I'm only happy when it rains Pour your misery down (Happy when it rains) I'm only happy when it rains Pour your misery down (Happy when it rains) Pour your misery down on I'm only happy when it rains I'm only happy when it's complicated And though I know you can't appreciate it You know I love it when the news is bad Why it feels good to feel so sad I'm only happy when it rains Pour your misery down Pour your misery down (Happy when it rains) Pour your misery down on Pour your misery down (Happy when it rains) Pour your misery down on me (Down on me)

8.	Nouveau Arcade x The Anix - Apart (feat. Cordélia) 04:08	lyrics	buy track
He waits for her to understand But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call anymore He waits to hear her say "forgive" But she just drops her brown-black eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells no more lies He waits for her to sympathize But she won't sympathize at all She waits all night to feel his kiss But always waits alone How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought that this love would last forever He waits to hear her say "forget" But she just drops her brown-black eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells no more lies How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought that this love would last forever (We used to be so close together) (How did we get this far apart?) So close together (How did we get this far apart?) This love lasts forever
9.	Fluorescent 03:48	lyrics	buy track
I wanna rise above I'm gonna lift you up Unlock the code And activate your heart Shedding our electric skin I'm gonna let you in Transfer of love And supercharge my mind Buried below Let it all go Sparkling new like a rainbow No more darkness Crystal computers Power on It's about time I felt something good In-between the light and the dark is the afterglow Haunted by the ghosts of our past and the things we used to know Dark days are here A painful circle revealing highs and lows It's just another hill to climb But the view will be beautiful We rise, and we fall And we get up again We live, and we learn these are the growing pains And you do what it takes just to get through Cuz what matters is how we love What matters is how we love No more darkness Crystal computers Power on It's about time I felt something good When I wake up invisible, take it slow I feel fluorescent when I'm with you I feel fluorescent when I'm with you It's about time I felt something good
10.	Drawing Pictures (feat. Keira Verlee) 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Bonfires at the beach Singing songs, loud and free Holding hands with you Smiles, bright and unrestrained Seeing your beautiful face Eyes lit up again I just want to get out of here Drawing pictures in my mind so clear Breakaway When we can be together again Memories that feel so far Hold them close to my heart Hoping soon the time will come In this time of simplicity I learn what's important to me I've been distracting myself for so long I just want to get out of here Drawing pictures in my mind so clear Breakaway I dream of the day when we can be together again Now I try to acknowledge the things That have been stopping me (Won't stop me now) I allow myself to discover (Something new) How long till I can share it all with you? How long, how long, how long? Cuz I just want to get out of here Drawing pictures in my mind so clear (Get out of here) Cuz I just wanna get out of here Breakaway I just want to get out of here Drawing pictures in my mind so clear Breakaway I dream of the day when we can be together again

12.	Hard Times 03:58	lyrics	buy track
(Focus on the present moment. Just let it go. Everything will be ok) I'm lost in the clouds And we're all under stress Where do I find myself in times like this? Irrational feelings So hard to express Gotta pull it together It's time to move on Move on Move on Move on Hard times Hard times Unknowns adding up The world has collapsed Alone with the fear We hide behind our masks (Just let it go. Everything will be ok) Hard times We're livin' in hard times Hard times Goin' through hard times Glitter in the stardust Glitter in the stardust (Focus on the present moment. You're creating a new reality that must come to pass. Just let it go. Everything will be ok) Hard times Hard times Goin' through hard times Hard times We're livin' in hard times (Hold on) Hard times Gonna get through hard times (Hold on) And when it's gone We're gonna rise above Like glitter in the stardust (Hold on) Reaching for the sun Embracing love Cus we are glitter in the stardust (Hold on) (I have an important role in the here and now as you create your future, one day at a time. Just let it go. Everything will be ok)

"We're all in danger." I can't believe how much I hate Pressures of a new place roll my way Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me I crumble underneath the weight Pressures of a new place roll my way Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me Spirits in my room, friend or foe? Felt it in my youth, feel it when I'm old Jumpsuit, jumpsuit (cover me) Dusting off my jumpsuit (cover me) I can't believe how much I hate Pressures of a new place roll my way Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me "You've got to get ahold of yourself." "No matter what happens, you've got to hang on." I'll be right there But you'll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air If you need anyone I'll stop my plans But you'll have to tie me down and then break both my hands If you need anyone (If you need anyone) (If you need anyone) (If you need anyone) I can't believe how much I hate Pressures of a new place roll my way Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me Oh, jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me! Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me! Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me!

All we do is run away All we do is run away Broken by design, losing the will to fight You and I will we ever be the same? Mirror of my youth, it's time I face the truth Hold my hand cuz I'm afraid Moving on with no regrets I can forgive, but I can't forget I'm the one who's stronger now Moving on with no regrets I can forgive, but I can't forget I'm the one who's stronger now Stronger now I'm the one who's stronger now All we do is run away It's all I can do to get away Climb on up this mountain But sometimes I fall, I wish I could be the king again I will never be restrained cuz I know myself And I scream louder than the voices in my head Moving on with no regrets I can forgive, but I can't forget I'm the one who's stronger now Moving on with no regrets Nothing I can do but start again I'm the one who's stronger now Stronger now I'm the one who's stronger now I'm the one who's stronger now I'm the one who's stronger now All we do is run away It's all I can do to get away It's all I can do to get away

UNICORN
by GUNSHIP

supported by 35 fans who also own “Dead Hearts”

Gunship leans hard into the DRAMA of the synthwave genre, which is really what it's all about. It's burn... intensity, kinetic energy, triumph and tragedy. The arrangements rise and fall, and the textures weave everything together into a ride you just need to get on, throw up your arms, let the wind blow back your hair, and enjoy. Peace Mob

After I discovered GUNSHIP with UNICORN, I went through all their material in a rush. They're whole discography is great, and I think this is the greatest. This album haunts me. I can't listen to it once. Even if I turn it off, I still hear it echoing in the back of my mind. GUNSHIP has a mastery of the bridge that reaches the level of mastery in this album that's just unrivaled. If you get only one album from GUNSHIP, get this one. Mailanka
