A nod to Aldous Huxley, Mike Wallace, and Sam Harris, whose voices I use on this track and whose ideas -- Huxley's and Harris', to be exact -- I mean, nothing against you Mike, but... -- helped inspire it.  I should also credit Desmond Morris for shaping my conception of primitive man and my understanding that we all, at present at least, are still no more than apes.  (Maybe some slightly more evolved than others, eh?)

Check out X.I.T.X.! https://soundcloud.com/user-760232283  (The E.P. posted there is so good, I rack my brains over why it's got so few listens!)

PS.  The story behind the drums on this one and the female vocalist are fun.  They're a nightmare, too, and may be published some day in some book I may write.

Enjoy!  Thanks for listening.

The Stone
Defenseless
I am naked, at mercy
Nothing
An off-thought of the gods under the stars
At the portal between naught and
Becoming

I took a stone from the ground
It became a weapon in my hand
I conquered it all with that 
Which I found

Fire gave way to a million thunders 
To light 
If ignorance is blindness 
The stone now has sight

Sight gave way to enlightment
True one
I can see further than you ever could 
No flesh
Once ape and stone now
Transhuman

Dancing Entanglement

When I need to lay my troubles down about things beyond my control, I take a stroll across the Indigo Bridge for safe passage over the Big Blue. The only toll required to crossover — temporarily letting your worries go. And, hopefully, you enjoy a songbird serenade on the trip to the other side. 💙✌️
