Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome aboard Bluechips Airlines flight 2020, bound for Vancouver, B.C. Canada, with continued service to a better life in another country. This is the Captain speaking, and in preparation for our departure today, we’d like to ask that you please extinguish all flammable items and return your seats and tray tables into their upright and locked position. If you take a look outside the cabin, you’ll notice that an ironic and dystopian smog has permeated the entire sky. Coincidentally, this year has been one of the most confusing, tumultuous, and uncertain years of our entire lives. Therefore, this album is a demonstration of how each of us individually coped with a global pandemic, the impeachment of our president, a stock market crash, the nationwide protests against the oppression of Black Americans, massive wildfires spanning the length of the west coast, and an impending election that could tip the fate of our country for the rest of time. As we come through the cabin for our final safety checks, please let us know if you have any questions. We ask that you listen to this album in headphones, and the highest audio quality available, as we’ve crafted this album to be experienced that way. Once again, welcome aboard Bluechips Airlines flight 2020 from New York to Vancouver B.C. Canada, and thank you for flying with The Bluechips.

Go Blind
06:03
|

I feel like getting out of here
Oh, I am tired of living in fear
I'll bring both the boys
We'll make all the noise
And maybe the worries subside
Say Goodbye
More people will die
An eye for an eye
Make the whole world go blind
Time is but a passing thing
Oh, its time recycling humanity
Now I've got to go
'Cause I don't want to know
What is left when the country implodes
Do you still believe in
A United States of reason?
Mere questions labeled treason
Will soon relinquish all your freedom
Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye
I'll catch the redeye
Let me down one too many times
I don't wanna know what comes next at the end of the road

Someone Save Us
04:52

Do you know you’re in the hands
Of a man that don’t give a damn?
Lighten up if you can
It’s the end and there’s no plan
Tossing, turning it’s not working
I can’t stop the world from burning
Love us, hate us
Someone save us
Please, we’re on our knees
It’s a trick, a sleight of man
Watch the eye, but not the hand
Listen up, as you graze
Nod your head and dig your grave
Tossing, turning it’s not working
I can’t stop the world from burning
Love us, hate us
Someone save us
Please we’re on our knees

Journey Man
03:28

I think I need a vacation from myself
Our minds collecting dust on the shelf
And we only have ourselves to blame
I want to be a journey man
Imprisoned is all I am
We forgot how it feels to breathe
A different kind of air
This land became a puppeteer
Stringing us up with all its fear and you said
We won't stay another year
Welcome to the obscurity
A false sense of security
Has been eating its way at me
Is it too much too avoid?
We're lost in the void (Say Goodbye)
I'm afraid the only way is down my dear
We're lost in the void (Say Goodbye)
I'm afraid we're circling the drain my dear
We're circling down that drain endlessly
I want to be a journey man
Imprisoned is all I am
We forgot how it feels to breathe
A different kind of air
I want to be a journey man
Reclusion is all I can seem to grasp today
And it's okay
Welcome to the obscurity

Voices

Bitin' off all I can chew
Experience, I have a breakthrough
Simple to me, not simple to you
Me by night and you by day
Who will I be today?
If I'm lucky
It will be me
Fightin' off all the voices
Spiting me, unwelcome choices
Leave me alone, just leave me be
Do you want Jack or Jill or both?
Darling, we can only hope that you're friendly
That you're friendly to me
Fighting off all the voices
Spiting me unwelcome choices
Fighting off all the voices
Spiting me unwelcome choices

Ordinary World
09:05

I’m just a boy in an ordinary world
Me and mom and dad
We don’t have a reason to be sad
In our world, where nothing seems to change
Morning, noon, and night
Day to day it always stays the same
I’m living in a dream
Relishing the ignorance of childhood and possibility
Boy, you’re a gem, your eyes are wide and bright
If only they could understand
The world you know is changing overnight
It’s the truth and you will come to find
The things that make you sad
Might be the only things that never leave your side
I want to run and hide
Once we pull the shade you’ll feel
A difference when the tears come to your eyes
Please don’t tell me
That we’re leaving 'cause
I don’t want to know the feeling of
Hours spent that I repent
Believing all that I’ve been seeing
Son, the time has come
From here you’re on your own
Welcome to the hardest thing
From which your soul will grow
Pack your things, let’s go
Hide in your headphones
Every note and lyric spoke
Will mend your aching soul
Say goodbye
I’ll play the fool act like world ain’t upside down
If you’ll let me off the ground
I’ll be the pawn and walk the line to ease your doubt
I know I’m not getting out
I don’t think you want the best for me
Drowning in your insecurity
Standing on my head to catch your breath
Reach out for the life preserver
And take your weight up off my shoulders
Tell everyone you saved yourself
Lean your head back, try to relax
Never let them own your reflex
Forward motion, magic potions
Solving all your deepest quotients
Psychedelia, let me feel the
Aches in all your safest places
Moving through you, as you come to
Realizing what life has brought you
Take the driver's seat and turn the key
To set your mind and heart free
Your cognition craves ignition
Shed your given disposition
No one owns you, they won’t show you
Right from wrong or love they owe you
It’s your coffin, that’s a promise
Save yourself or you won’t stop this
I’m just a boy and as I start to age
The ordinary world I knew
Becomes a crumpled torn and tattered page
It’s abused, embodied by the lines
I can barely read them
Though the margin still stayed sewn into the spine

Ladies and Gentleman as you exit the aircraft, we suggest that you lean into the unpredictable nature of life and try not to sweat the small stuff, cause you never know when you’re gonna say goodbye.
