Hope Is A Drug
Solid-State Sunlight
.. Just a few more years == Verse 1 == Young eyes track, exquisite precision Mimicry, promoting the mission Every brave leap forward, ten bitter steps back Striving for position, right on track == Chorus == Hope is a Drug A powerful thing While we dream electric sheep Nostalgia sweetly sings Half-life gleamin' Daylight dreamin' Nothing changes Death keeps creepin' .. Just a few more years == Verse 2 == Factory floors hewn from sun-soaked fields To raw ambition our hunger yields In the hustle and grind of wind-swept streets Hope is forged and destinies meet == Chorus == Hope is a Drug A powerful machine While we dream electric sheep Nostalgia sweetly sings Half-life gleamin' Daylight dreamin' Nothing changes Death keeps creepin' == Bridge == In the darkest hours, when all seems lost, We assemble the future, no matter the cost, In this together, however tough In this together, hope that hope's enough .. Just a few more years == Verse 3 == Clouded eyes peer through cloudy skies, dim yet surely glowing Long-trod pathways advertise, this is final warning We reached the stars but lost our way, was it all for glory? What hope we held it drove us on, this was our only story. == Chorus == Hope is a Drug A wicked thing While we dream electric sheep Nostalgia sweetly sings Half-life gleamin' Daylight dreamin' Nothing changes Death keeps creepin' == Outro == We reached the stars but lost our way We reached the stars but lost our way

Debut EP from Solid-State Sunlight, ExoAnthro is a concept album that introduces multiple characters struggling to find their place within a tangled man/machine future, each at different points in their own self-awakening.
This is a future where synthetic people have been inadvertently developed, and we witness, together, everything that means.
