Thrust

[Silence]
[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Organ, Synth]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Punchy Bass, Driving Drums, Staccato Electric Guitar, Rising Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
You don’t necessarily ease into reality…

You get thrust into it.

And once you see it…

You can’t unsee it.

[Refrain]
Thrust
(Into reality)
A must
(To really see)

[Verse 1]
No more waiting on the side
No more place to run and hide
Something pushes, something breaks
Something real is what it takes

Wake up, open up your eyes
Cut through all the alibis
What you thought was far away
Could be standing here today

[Pre-Chorus]
See!
(Really see!)
Know!
(Really know!)

Face!
(The facts!)
Drop!
(The acts!)

[Chorus]
Thrust
(Into reality)
A must
(To really see)

No more hiding
(No disguise)
No more turning
(From your eyes)

Thrust
(Into the light)
Truth
(Comes into sight)

Feel the force
(Feel the push)
Face the world
(See the rush)

[Verse 2]
Reality can shake the ground
When the evidence comes around
At times change arrives so fast
You don’t get time to make it last

[Refrain]
Thrust
(Into reality)
A must
(To really see)

[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Aggressive Blues-Rock Lead, Driving Bass, Tight Drums, Synth Pulses]

[Bridge]
Thrust!
(Into reality!)

Must!
(You gotta see!)

Push!
(Past doubt!)
Find out
(Surprise)
Rise!
(Up and try!)

Look!
(Look around!)

Listen!
(Hear the sound!)

Truth!
(Isn’t hiding!)

Reality!
(Is arriving!)

[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Deep Bass Pulse, Acoustic Guitar Harmonics, Atmospheric Synth]
No filter…

No screen…

Just what you mean.

[Final Refrain]
Thrust
(Into reality)
A must
(To really see)

[Final Chorus]
Thrust
(Into reality)
A must
(To really see)

Open your eyes
(Recognize)
Face the truth
(No disguise)

Thrust
(Into the light)
Reality
(Comes into sight)

No more waiting
(No retreat)
Feel the ground
(Beneath your feet)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Driving Guitar Riff, Bass, Drums, Rising Synth, Abrupt Stop]
Thrust…

Into reality…

A must…

To really see.

[Spoken, fading]

Really see.
(Reality)
