One For Alex 02:28
lyrics

“Do not be satisfied with hearsay or with tradition or with legendary lore, or with what has come down in scriptures or with conjecture or with logical inference, or with weighting evidence, or with liking for a view after pondering it over with someone else’s ability, or with the thought; the monk is our teacher. When you know in yourselves these things are wholesome, blameless, commended by the wise, and when adopted and put into effect they lead to welfare and happiness, then you should practice and abide in them” -Buddha

Beyond 03:17
lyrics

Once beyond the silence Tales from our youth Friends sitting beside us And I’m next to you Don’t you leave me in the silence There’s a hope still unsatisfied And once your here you can take me home I’m unsatisfied I don’t to lie and leave me soul behind Its the truth, concerning you When I’m with my friends its the same story again It’s abuse, It’s abuse Take what you will but leave my soul alone I do not need a thrill I just want a home And if you need me then I want you too Because with or with out you I do not know what to do

Meadow Kid 02:44
lyrics
buy track
We started in a meadow covered in skin And all the ones scribbling hands Without me Listen to your skin Listen here now kid Surrender How are you? How do you do? Do you like what you’ve become? And if I were me I’d stop and I’d see We’ve been living separately in the past And I had a blast But I went too fast So we went to the park just to have a talk And we made good friends inside of the rock And I thank you, for what you said to me My actions are the source of my brains divorce And I’d love to let nature run its course But it’s happening, it’s happening way to fast And I had a blast But that was the past I want to see what I have in store But its me who is no more And my friend I am dead I lost the war

The Woods 03:19

Lost in the woods You promised a stone Of crystal blue On a distant shore I saw you In the ebony sand A mist of gray In the palm of my hand I saw you Dont you let me go You pick me up when I am down And everyone knows Shadows will come and stars will fall

Insernia 05:44
lyrics

Everybody do what they do Everybody sees what’s on the news Gonna take a walk Down to the park Going to the mall We got it all What do they do? See what they want And where they’re from And what they’ve got Everybody thinks they know the show Fact and fiction they are so close Inside our heads Decides the rest The balance of insernia What to they do? See what they want And where they’re from And what they’ve got We got it all At the mall The prices they may vary Insane!

Dream Came True 03:20
lyrics
buy track
As the weeping willow weeps the daughter of the king sleeps Her house is not a home, Its just a place to keep her warm And she says: I know that money cant buy love Fame and fortune is a lie As she’s sitting in her chair, out the window she stares At the sycamores green leaves, oh how happy it seems And she says: One day I will find a home A simple place to call my own And as she cries tears chlorophyll her eyes Her mind and body becomes one Because what she sees Isn't as green as she’d like it to be with me Happy halloween, candy fills this scene There’s colours all around and the leaves are on the ground And she says: Even nature has no home, maybe I’m not so alone And it seems to me she’s beginning to see That I am green as a tree A golden larch cant grow very far without its leaves Now she has a home, a perennial place to call her own There’s only one thing she wants more The opportunity to explore And she says: What a wonderful dream

The Battle 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Everyday is a battle that is won Write my words and sing this song Have you ever seen the snow? Have you ever seen the sun? Would you really like to know If the battle is won? Everything you see all you’ll ever have You will find in the palm of your hand But I’m not the one Who sees through the land I am not a god I am just man Somewhere in time Space heals my mind And I say What do I buy? Life. You keep distant from your throne You like to question what you know I mind I mind Tonight Be good to your body and your mind They’re the only ones you have so please be kind But you’ll lose that as well So take care of your health You’ll lose everything When you lose yourself

Too Good To Be False 02:58
lyrics
buy track
It’s the everlasting fear We instill into ourselves Are we really here? Or are we somewhere else? Men are born while some men die Will we ever reach the sky? Its a question some live by Take that ride into the sky Dont do what I say is wrong Eternal is much too long And if you want to go there Please feel free to take this dare Go and think literal Its your own funeral If you think for yourself You will just end up in hell They aren’t dead why do you cry If somewhere they’re still alive It wont happen we cant die Its too good to be a lie

Equality 00:32
lyrics
buy track
We are born as equals We are born as us But something happens To our trust It is given to those That we dont know And it is formed While we grow By our friends Our families And society There is no such thing as variety Cause we’ve all been pressured They’ve shaped our minds Its just a part of mankind

Life 03:10

Got myself a new record today I put it on to see just what he had to say It blew my mind, wasted no more time life starts today Gonna pick up the pieces write an album Gonna have to cease this its part of the problem now What do you know? I’m starting to grow It’s time to have some fun Life doesn't get better than this Life is something you can miss If you dont start now It doesn’t seem the same When youre in the shade But listen to me when I say you’ve got it made Do nothing wrong because When youre gone youll waste away Dont sleep with the fishes Fix your problems Don’t cause any mischief Your part of the problem now And if you go it will start to show How much they miss and love you Life doesn't get better than this Life is something you can miss If you dont start now

Too True 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Many a mystery Foe from fact Behind everything we see The truth lies in tact Within questions lie answers That stray us from the truth I know the question And the answer is you It is really quite simple Yet many dont understand Our purpose in life Is to help our fellow man I am not a man I’m a mere entity Just like all the people and everything you see Polytheistic and monotheism They are all wrong we are organisms Living in our homes from our death until our birth We are trying to be people in our quiet universe And on lives us for two centuries or so Until death falls upon everybody that we know Cause death is the birth of our modern man Creation is wrong it was Darwin’s plan The preacher wasn’t lying wasn’t trying to deceive Its about being free its about what you believe

about

There is often a contradiction between what we think and what we say, as well as what we say and what we do. The man behind the curtain is not always the man projected onto the screen. Thoughts, actions, emotions - they all move through our lives in different directions. Our goal must be resolve. Even inside of us, our tendencies can be disrupted. Train of thought can be eastbound and westbound at the same time. While the sea of thought may be fun to indulge in from time to time, it is only here and now that we can be truly happy. Avoid acting, hypocrisy, and indecision. They are all burdens in our lives, they are all contrary motion.
