SONGS TO LISTEN TO:

Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) 

And if the snow buries my
My neighborhood
And if my parents are crying
Then I'll dig a tunnel
From my window to yours

Neighborhood #2 (Laika)

Alexander, our older brother
Set out for a great adventure
He tore our images out of his pictures
He scratched our names out of all his letters

Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are swinging from the power lines
Nobody's home, so nobody minds


Rebellion (Lies)

People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter

In the Backseat

I like the peace
In the backseat
I don't have to drive
I don't have to speak
I can watch the countryside
And I can fall asleep
