lyrics
One Design cannot fit every mould Modify-Redesign-Create This Design works much better now Rebuilt-Refit, Unique One Design cannot hide other flaws Just projects all the parts you hate Your Design doesn’t make your word Law. Modify-Redesign-Create Stand my ground I hold up the Light Unafraid, I’m ready to fight Do or Die, Resisting the Blight I will not fall back in line the Void: WE CANNOT STAND THE WAY YOU DONT FOLLOW OUR UNWRITTEN RULES YOUR BOLDNESS THREATENS ME IT FEEDS MY INSECURITES. WHY CAN’T YOU JUST FIT IN? IT’S EASY! YOU SHOULD TRY IT! STOP ASKIING QUESTIONS ITS BETTER TO OBEY THOSE IN POWER. THE NAIL THAT STICKS OUT MUST BE HAMMERED DOWN. Stand my ground I hold up the Light Unafraid, I’m ready to fight Do or Die, Resisting the Blight I THINK THAT YOU’RE OUT OF LINE Stand my ground I hold up the Light (YOU’RE GOING THE WRONG WAY) Unafraid, I’m ready to fight (I NEED TO CONTROL YOU) Do or Die, Resisting the Blight (YOU DESTROY OUR ROUTINE) I will not fall back in line (NAILS THAT STICK OUT MUST BE HAMMERED DOWN)

AMSALEM (album version) 05:58
lyrics
My heart sank when I thought of how sad I made you I didnt mean to add to the pain—the pain that I bade thru Jury of 1, You insist you come see me at my worst, and then you judge me with Burning Questions, Telling me to speak To speak or you’ll never sleep Jury of 1, If you ask you shall receive— You got your answer and now you avoid me With the inquisition impositions forcing me to tell you, Something you already knew The void: “Why are you so loud ?” “Is it the Flesh you wear?!” “We dont want you in our crowd. Buy why? we Wont go there!” mbdl: “Why not light” is what you ask, “whats wrong with your hue?!” the void:
“what we really meant to say, is what is wrong with you?!”

An Unwelcomed Return 05:10
lyrics
I thought i'd mend my tattered heart here.... The View of Mountains made me safe The Curtain Fell, I cut the cord (I) Floated off into Space, away Into the Void, All Alone, not Looking Back Till Today The party-table with 9 cards for 10 A Chair-leg broke for excse I ask why---to no reply, (why) My Magic's no good here... Youre Silent. could've helped I want to Disappear I'm Sorry, but I have to go now. You thought you could make me stay, Did i Stutter? Did you not hear?! I'm not mad you're just not clear. You had your chance, Done with this dance It's time to start over, dear. You were asked to answer my question. Familiar with the Art of Suggestion? You were asked to answer the question. Passive-Aggression's your only expression Seeing it clear with out you All on my own Away from the hurt, The Dark, that finds you...

Black Box 03:43
lyrics
Standing Here On my own, You’re so far Away I am here. On my own. Its so cold today. Its unclear, where I stand, Out here on my own. I try to pass as one of them, but it’s not like Home Don’t Let Them Win— They’ll take all your Light! Don’t be afraid! Don’t give up your fight!

Look inside you! For our love! Dont forget, where you came from! Once again, On my Own, I felt so alone. In the dark, so apart, But In my heart you’re there, you said— Don’t Let Them Win— They’ll take away your Light! Don’t be afraid! Don’t give up your fight! Standing Tall, On my Own, I know you are there.

lyrics
Love can be Kind, Love takes Patience and Time Love made me Silent Love Kept me Calm Love will break my Fall When I spiral Down Love will take my Broken Wings Make me Whole Again Only time will heal your Heart oh Friend Whos the one you call? Call me back when you need a hand and Put me on the Shelf Only time will heal your Heart

Thank You for Your Time 06:31
lyrics
Floating by Youre passing by Passing by, cant meet my eyes Face to Face, you tell me lies wear a mask, like your disguise I cant tell if you are really there Even Though you said you'd always care Saving Face, Trying to Erase Before you shun.... Whats done is done... Haven't you forgiven me? (cant fix my past) Perfect I'll never be Broken Pieces can be glued A clean slate for me and you Come what may, Im hope you stay Only love defeats Yesterday Before we fly, Take my hand The Countdown Starts Destination: in my Dreams. Its the Past. Full of secrets, My Mistakes, some I cant hide Like a Curse, not so secret, I cant Shake it , its my demise Cant you close your eyes, see something else?! Trust that i changed, time to Check Yourself. Dont Take my light, & Leave my side Please dont go Hear my Heart Haven't you forgiven me? (cant fix my past) Perfect I'll never be Broken Pieces can be glued A clean slate for me and you Come what may, Im hope you stay Only love defeats Yesterday Before we fly, Take my hand The Countdown Starts Destination: in my Dreams. I have heard them whisper words. Feeding rumours to the herd. How do you judge? When you werent there, from what you heard, it isnt fair. Why'd you stay if it was your concern?! if what was said and what you learned?! Dont Take my light, & Leave my side Please dont go Hear my Heart Haven't you forgiven me? (cant fix my past) Perfect I'll never be Broken Pieces can be glued A clean slate for me and you Take my hand and we'll take flight~ Together we can bend the light!!! Wait for me! Dont leave me behind! Isnt this our destiny? Come what may, Im here to stay Only love defeats Yesterday Before we fly, Take my hand The Countdown Starts Destination: in my Dreams.

about

TEST PILOT

TEST PILOT is the overdue but anticipated debut album of Made by Dr. Light. This concept album takes elements of 80s synths, futuristic sounds, driving beats, and even some cello and creates a sound that has been described as cinematic and sometimes nostalgic-but-in-the-future.
With influences of japanese melodies, moog synth predecessors, and early vocoder works, Made by Dr. Light narrates a story of adapting to change, accepting challenges, and loving who you are because you're loved. Join Made by Dr. Light as she tells this story in this semi-autobiographical LP .
