Painting by Francisco de Goya

oh mother night, made whole of me
 come restlessly endlessly in the sea
from the bottom out, give away to rising tides
that follow endlessly

gather wood beneath, and follow under 
Goetia
where all the angels sink
& where the demons breed

climb on aboard our ship, entity from the sea
something takes ahold of her, then takes ahold in me
and something takes ahold in her
then takes ahold of me

& the spirits will guide us all towards the new land

gather around the fire, kids
and cheer out for the elder god
gather around the fire, dogs
and bow down to the elder god
fly above the fire, birds
and sing out for the elder god
gather around the fire, kids
and cheer out for the elder god

Cut In Ego

1 had a vision
But it was only a hallucination.
1 had a vision
But that was only a fantasy.
1 had a vision
But it was only a figment.
1 had a vision
But that was only a pipe dream.

Its end shall be dramatically
But until then
1 can try to stand,
Gain solid foothold again 
And that eventually
Until the end

Take the reject and
Try to reflect that

1 had this vision
But it was only a big misconception.
Thought to be on a mission
But that was only an aberration.
How 1 was wishing
that it had another destination.

Its end designed dramatically
But until then

And that eventually
Until the end

But that only turned into a nightmare.
There seemed this mission
But now there is no time left to spare.

And until then

Regain solid mindset again,
Adapt the stand

Alpaca Pal of Mine

Alpaca Pal Of Mine

I’m not the kind of guy who wants to settle down.
I’m not the kind of guy who wants to stick around.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I’m trying not to let you carry out your plan.
To turn me into a domesticated man
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I was just another fish swimming in the sea.
The you reeled me in an made a meal of me.
I was a like dog with no home who was running wild all alone
I was living my life wild and free and like animal control you came and captured me.
Now you’ve got you in your shelter and you’re taking good care of me. 
Your passion makes me swelter but sometimes I wanna be free. 

I’ll be your private Casanova tonight.
I’ll do and say all the things that will make you feel just right.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I’ll run and I’ll run, and I’ll run straight back to you.  I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run.

Sea monkey’s are just brine shrimp 
Easier to take care of than a pet chimp
You just buy a kit and that’s pretty much it
Much less work than a cat a dog or a pony
But those pictures that they put on the box are definitely phony

Sometimes it feels like we’re just a bunch of sea monkeys living in a jar
Living on this great big rock orbiting a star
We pray to God for assistance but what if he’s just a little boy
And this world that we live on is just his latest toy

What if we’re living in some kid’s jar and the sun is a lightbulb
It’s not really a star
What if every time the human race takes it on the chin
There’s some kid looking down staring with a silly grin

Eight billion humans on the planet earth and we’re all trying to get by
I wonder if those sea monkeys knew the truth would they still even try

Did he sprinkle some eggs in the water and wait for the fun to begin
Did he watch he watch us fight our wars and root for the good guys to win
When the black death raged in the thirteenth century and good  people started to die
And he saw all that pain and and suffering
did it ever make him cry

Eight billion humans on the planet earth and we’re all trying to get by
I wonder if those sea monkeys knew the truth would they still even try

Eight billion humans on the planet earth and we’re all trying to get by
I wonder if those sea monkeys knew the truth would they still even try

Sea monkey’s are just brine shrimp 
Easier to take care of than a pet chimp
You just buy a kit and that’s pretty much it
You just buy a kit and that’s pretty much it

Sea Monkeys In A Jar

The brain fires stunningly complex electrical signals even when you're doom-scrolling on Insta or making a TikTok. It's true!
