cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – guitar

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-electric madolin
This song originated with Mark creating a bass line to a metronome, and sharing it with Ken. Ken immediately added his driving drums, and invited the rest of the EC to join in. JJ was first up, laying in his foundational organ, and e. piano magic in the first half, and the cosmic synth melody in the second part. Batting second was Josh, who established the melody in the first half with his electric mandolin, and mirrors the melody in the second half with the same. Next came Tez, who laid in the funky guitar right after the first break, all the way to the end. Batting clean up was Chris, who laid in the psych guitar in the first section, as well as the high guitar part in the second movement. Of course, we needed an expert producer to mix this for us, so we turned to Stephen, who always gets it exactly to everyone's specifications. That in and of itself is quite a skill, and I don't know how he does it, but everyone is always satisfied with his work.
  This is the second song we've done with Mark, who is a tremendously talented bass player, and delightfully creative songwriter. If you aren't familiar with his work, do yourself a favor and hop on over to his page for some delicious bass music. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

DECIDED TO TAKE
THE SCENIC ROUTE			
TO THE MOUNTAINS			
 IN TENNESSEE			
			
WOULD BE			
TWO HOURS LONGER			
BUT A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE			
YOU SEE			
			
ENJOYING THE DRIVE			
COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE			
ABANDONED BUILDINGS			
NO LONGER ALIVE			
			
(CHORUS)			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER ALIVE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
JUST A MEMORY			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
			
SOME PEOPLE FEEL			
THEY'RE SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER IMPORTANT			
THEY'VE LOST THEIR ZEAL			
			
DON'T LET FATHER TIME			
CONTROLL YOUR LIFE			
THEY ARE MOUNTAINS			
YET TO CLIMB			
			
THE SEASONS COME			
THE SEASONS GO			
STRIVE FOR THE BEST			
WHILE HERE BELOW			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS)			
			
(BRIDGE)			
ABANDONED BUILDINGS			
TELL A LIFE STORY			
WHAT STORY WILL YOUR LIFE TELL			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS -  OPTIONAL)

My hearts been caught out in the rain
These days don't even feel the same
I look around and nothing's changed
 I don't belong here anymore 

The weight of this depression 
An anchor pulling me down
The moon, it always has a lesson
That these tears weren't meant to drown
Some days are nice some days are mean
Forever wavering between


The sky it cries in shades of gray
Things don't always end the way.. they.. should

Phases reflected in my soul
A place no one's allowed to go
Mirrored reflection of the old
still standing proud and bold
Silver gleam your sorrow shines 
Drifting on until the end of time
And when the darkness holds you tight
You still cast a lovely light

The sky it cries in shades of gray
Things don't always end the way.. they.. should

lyrics-
you give me chills -you give me fever
you make me ill- you make me quiver
i know i gotta break this cycle of woe
how can i when youre in my head everywhere i go?
so i slip down deeper - nowhere else to go
getting weaker - i just cant say no

you make me sweat you make me rage
you make me rust you make me smaller and amaller and smaller and smaller and small

i know i gotta stop this spiral
i know i gotta break this cycke of woe
just cant seem to find the right road - keep my feet upon the right road

you give me thrills you give me the fear
you make me blind you make me hear things- louder and louder and louder and loud

i know i gotta stop this spiral i know i gotta break this cycle of woe
just cant seem to find the right road - keep my feet upon the right road

what would i be? who would i be ? without you
