Parallel Me (music & lyrics: Tal More)
On a parallel earth
A parallel me
Met a parallel you
Played out a part
Left out of touch
Right off the wire.
How would it feel
To lose you, my heart,
Guess I’ll never know
‘Cause I’m the lucky one
Parallel me
I’m sorry your life
Ain’t mine.
All my parallel friends
Say parallel you
Was my happy hour
Our parallel lines
May cross in time
But we won’t be ourselves.

Paper Says (music & lyrics: Tal More)
Paper says
A man with two heads
Was murdered for a hat
He didn’t like
These things- they happen all the time.
Paper says
A door to nowhere
Materialized
And wiped a city blank
These things- they happen all the time.
Angry mob attacks the moon
A talking tree predicts the rain won’t come
It’s all been written down.
Paper says
They found a mermaid
Who tried to live on land
But dried right up
These things- they happen all the time.
Paper says
The gods were wasted
Our fading stars discovered
Trading dust
These things- they happen all the time.
Angry mob attacks the moon
A talking tree predicts the rain won’t come
It’s all been written down.
It’s all been written down
It’s all been written down
It’s all been written down.

Underground (music & lyrics: Tal More)
Living underground
Had been the safe choice
Had been the sane choice
The day the bomb went off.
I can see the sky
Inside my head
Though I can’t remember
What a bird looks like.
I’m buried underground,
I’m buried underground.
Guessing day or night
Gets rather pointless
When you’re in darkness
And there’s no clear way out.
Never thought I’d miss
The morning traffic
I practice laughing
It’s funny I still care.
I’m buried underground,
I’m buried underground.
I’m buried underground,
I’m buried underground.

When The World Was Flat (music & lyrics: Tal More)
When the world was flat
We used to go to the edge
For a laugh
Throw at the monsters below
Empty words of advice
Then ride home to our castle of brimstone and ice.
When the world was flat
Everything seemed so much simpler
To grasp
Nothing could melt us apart
Though the demons sure tried
Catching clouds was as easy as synchronized smiles.
The world keeps on spinning around
The gravity’s strong
It’s pulling me to the ground
And I can’t help but miss
All that ignorant bliss
We shared
When the world was still flat.
When the world was flat
We used to travel to
Uncharted lands
Give them the strangest of names
Now I fail to recall
Every memory frame
Gets replaced by a song.
The world keeps on spinning around
The gravity’s strong
It’s pulling me to the ground
And I can’t help but miss
All that ignorant bliss
We shared
When the world was still flat.
My head keeps on spinning around
Your gravity’s strong
It’s pulling me to the ground
And I can’t help but miss
All that ignorant bliss
We shared
When the world was still flat.

This Human Zoo (music & lyrics: Tal More)
This human zoo I’m in
It’s not that bad
They treat me nice
They feed me almost every day
I’m even starting to get used
To probing stares
My life back home
Feels light years from this planet’s face.
The boy next door
Looks like he needs a friend
Too bad these booths
Are fully soundproof, quarantined,
There was a couple once
Who lived inside his cage
I guess in time
They might consider us as mates.
I’m on display
I’m an exhibit
I wish that I could read the sign
I wear.
They come in pairs
They never say a word
Just nod their heads
As if agreeing with a fact
I wonder what they’re thinking
Of our dying race
Are they amused,
Indifferent,
Or a little sad?
We’re on display
We’re an exhibit
We’re not the people that we thought
We were.

All It Takes Is A Whisper (music & Lyrics: Tal More)
Danielle,
Your lines spell cynical
Here I thought I was the king.
Life ain’t fair
These hells are dealt to us
Damned if we play them
And damned if we don’t.
All it takes is a whisper
To make the darkest cloud
Blow away.
Danielle,
The gods have been cruel to us-
Minds bright as comets in bodies of clay.
Don’t regret
The lives that you didn’t have
I‘ve been an expert, please trust me on this.
All it takes is a whisper
To make the darkest cloud
Blow away.
All it takes is a whisper.
