A western soundtrack inspired by red dead redemption. 

-Erik More & Brad Janke

echoes of a time in valentine

lyrics: 

busting out the seams 
don’t got what i needs
grocery 
wer’re in danger 
its a little harsh - you should take the safeway
push the lettuce on the floor
and i need 40 more
its hard when everything is so beautiful
beautiful sometimes
sometimes its hard
shiny wrappers, crispy sounds 
so many options  
they might say its too much but i’m going to lettuce, i’ve got some emotional baggage you’ve brought too much cabbage
pack a sack this way
too many eggs
lay secrets inside
too much lettuce
a suprsie beyond 
the lies
its hard when everything so beautiful
beautiful sometimes
sometimes its hard 
accident appreicaition
you’ve got a full wallet you’ve got to buy everyone twice 
grocery accident 

- Brad Janke & Erik More

grocery accident

lyrics:

key ignition

count down
revved up to go
wheels keep turning to the end
 
this ride it won't stop
speed up don't slow
racing towards the dividend 

one hand will shake one hand will take eyes tricked again 
 
hocus pocus is holus bolus a sleight of mind
jibber jabber a facade 
minister to the mark  
fuss and feathers is sacrosanct

simple numbers will masquerade
a computational escapade

up shift
risk ratio
an asphalt coronation 

binary take down 
ones and zeros
borrowing and siphoning 

one hand will shake one hand will take eyes tricked again 

a hobnob honeyfuggling hoodoo
with razzmatazz
its pishposh

simple numbers will masquerade
a computational escapade

ubu roi's utopia

- Brad Janke, Roger Micone, Ryan Williams &amp; Erik More

ubu roi

lyrics: 

the city's children 
they'll never come back
they've gone and left her all alone

a new spring is coming 
every person planting makes
the ground beneath her awake
every person touching/taking the future

the sun is rising on 
their transformation 
new history with the dawn

unpack the past 

rewind the world of tomorrow
an exodus will follow
embrace the path of succeeding
to cleanse the palate of living

the future arrives

- Brad Janke, Roger Micone, Ryan Williams &amp; Erik More

a future not lost

lyrics:

in all the years of wandering
i never saw a flower
as sweet and terrible as you
growing ever greater
as the world around withdrew

finally - unlocking whats inside
big day - we'll all be so surprised
party - it will ignite tonight 
one way - that moment turned the tide

elegance blooms before us

witness the presence 
of designed radiance
witness the presents
of modern prometheus 

- Roger Micone, Brad Janke &amp; Erik More 

up and atom

great purpose - emerges
great purges - uproot us      
free no more
shadows on the shore

forward  forward
pushing the words
endless appetite

horizon - receding
becoming archeology
orphaned by cold modernity

writing the lies the zealots
reducing our lives to helots
creating the last decedents

just like leaves we'll scatter
doesn't really matter
in the end you'll falter
it'll be your crown which withers

round us now bark the mad and hungry dogs
we'll right the way - not write the way
they'll eat themselves one day

- Ricardo Jose Lopez & Erik More

cries of the unwritten west

where's the trouble?

- Brad Janke & Erik More


bitte trouble

believing my monumental kind
others taken down 
over mountain's end descend

flashing an elemental sign
all the beasts within its your time again ascend

daylight beautiful
hands now visible 
through the oculus
they'll plant their seed in us

consummate populate
watching water dry out
bringing on a final drought
no more archipelago
consummate populate

believe in my monumental kind
others taken down 
over mountain's end descend

flashing an elemental sign
all the beasts within its your time again ascend

daylight beautiful
hands now visible 
through the oculus
they'll plant their seed in us
