The Fall 04:28
Before the attacks, we were a grand capitol - a grand capitol Before the integration, we were ahead of our time - ahead of our time But now this total elimination, aftermath of detonation Proves the fall of Caprica We need to seek out a solution, stop the Cylon evolution Oh, the fall of Caprica Before there was war, we were a scorned capitol - a scorned capitol Before our own creation, we were the leading destination Ahead of our time But now this total elimination, aftermath of detonation Proves the fall of Caprica We need to seek out a solution, stop the cylon evolution Oh, the fall of Caprica

Time to Go 03:31
This must be fantasy, what you mean to me But I didn't mean to lead you on It's just fun for me, and a little release It's just my time to be little wild and free See, I didn't mean to turn you on It means nothing to me, just a little release And I'm not gonna be sorry for feeling nothin' in return And I'm not gonna feel guilty for seein' that it's time to go I warned you from the start with a broken heart I said I didn't want to lead you on You're just good for me, and a little distraction Wish I could make you see the reality I swear I didn't mean to turn you on It means nothin' to me, just a little distraction

The Attic 05:03
I'm all of them, but none of me Nothing is what it appears to be Put me in the attic You know I'll pass the test When I am the active I try to be my best Did I fall asleep? Which dream is mine? How far until we have crossed the line? Put me in the attic (I think I'm starting a war) You know I'll pass the test (I think I'm starting a war) When I am the active (I think I'm starting a war) I try to be my best (I think I'm starting a war) A clean slate, a different life Now that you're here Everything's gonna be alright

Never Be 03:36
I've been tired of fighting myself Between the highs and lows there is a part that always shows And I've found a way to make things work I've found a way to see some light in the dark But you are the one thing The one thing that'll never be right The one thing that'll never be The one thing that'll never, never The one thing that'll never be mine The one thing that'll never be The one thing that'll never, never And I've been tryin' to get you out my mind Between the troubled nights of sleep you sneak up everytime And I'd do most anything to forget what you did to us I'd do most anything to erase you

Never again will I fall for this Never again will I risk it all for this Never again will I be the one that lets you lead the way And won't you listen now, I have something to say None of this half empty, half full shit Maybe we could just take a hit And all of these dark days and bright nights will lead to The calm storm and the dull, dull shine It's all mine Never again will I push that hard Never again will I go so far Never again will I let the darkness carry me away And won't you listen now, I have something to say None of this half empty, half full shit Maybe we could just take a hit And all of these dark days and bright nights will lead to The calm storm and the dull, dull shine It's all fine

Might as well be a ghost I swear that you can see right through me Might as well cast a spell Might as well turn into something quite absurd at midnight Might as well turn you, too Somethin' that you do to me sets the air on fire (All around us) I know not everybody would agree But I know you're the one for me Might as well read your mind I swear this is the wrong dimension Might as well conjure up a sight Might as well take a bite, unleash this thing that's trapped inside me Might as well take you, too Might as well be mistaken Might as well be overtaken
7.
Oh, wasn't it obvious that I didn't know that you'd go? And oh, could it have been any other way? Did you think of my heart or did you just play the part? Oh, didn't you know? You're all I wanted You're all I wanted Oh, wasn't it plain to see, I wasn't aware you didn't care? And oh, could anything have changed your mind? Did you think of me at all, or did you want me to fall? Lookin' back it's kinda hazy Lord you know we both were crazy Oh, it's such an overwhelming craving Guess I just wasn't worth saving

Tired 03:57
You're weary darling Come lay your head Down here beside me It's been a long day I know you're tired
10.
Good Enough 03:48
Talk me up just a little bit Exaggerate, it'll make me feel It'll make me feel good enough to continue on Am I good enough? And all the demons inside of me trick me And all the battlescars leave a dark spot where there shouldn't be Talk me down just a little bit And validate, it'll make me feel It'll make me feel brave enough to continue on Am I brave enough? Don't give up I know you're broken and beaten down It's gonna be okay Just get up Keep it together 'Cause you're so much better than good enough
11.
I know you wonder why your words are still hurting me It wasn't like I really ever got a chance to see an ending To our tragic story I know you wonder why I haven't replaced you I just can't settle for someone that hasn't gotten a clue Like you do Why'd you have to go and take that part of me? The one that had just learned to laugh The one that had just learned to love I know just what you're dreaming of And I see, I know, even you know You'll never change I know you'd love for me to disappear into the void I know you'd love for all these songs to up and be destroyed An ending to my bitter story I know you think it's what you need, to be her little toy But we're all watching you sink lower, boy It's sickening Why'd you have to go and take that part of me? Not in this lifetime, or the next You'll go on breaking hearts And leaving questions left unanswered

Spring Green 03:32
In the valley, during my time Tragedy came those days In the fires that took my home My life's work in cinders lay Spring Green Lay me to rest in the valley Brutal winters, but springs so green You can bury me when I go Rock of ages, my sweet love Taliesin, morning glow
13.
Machine 03:06
In all this destruction A light has shown through This darkness be damned No more instruction I'm coming for you I've suddenly realized what I am I'm a machine Inner workings of steel, in control of how I feel I'm a machine Forever holding the source of unlimited force Despite severity, a power's been revealed This weakness be damned This sudden clarity, I'll use it like a shield I've seen what I am capable of

about

Mass Love is a cross-Atlantic collaboration between Indianapolis-based studio singer Lauren Moore, and David Beukes, who produces from a hilltop in the wilds of Limpopo, South Africa. They connected on reddit, and bonded over their mutual appreciation of Firefly, the greatest TV show ever made.

Despite their long collaboration, the two have never met face to face. They make synthpop, injected here and there with large orchestra sections and sprinkles of hip-hop.
