Life has passed by in a moment
I'm still being shown around
Our history will be deleted
Computers make a beeping sound.
Every morning, I rise out of bed
To the warnings, blaring in my head.
Still I gotta get out, need motion
Make my splash, in the Black Ocean, na, na, na, na ,na.
Can't hear a word through all the chatter
Too many on the microphone
Had a date with Miss Information
Thought I'd rather be alone.
Every morning, I rise out of bed
To the warnings, blaring in my head.
Still I gotta get out, need motion
Make my splash, in the Black Ocean, na, na, na, na ,na.

The Album of a Year

The Black Ocean

Glowing faces lit by cell phone light
They float around me all through the night
I got a brand new pair of walking shoes
Think I can do without the latest news.
It's just like anything, you get out whatever you put in, so make an offering.
So many people bare their teeth out the gate
Finger ready on the trigger, never hesitate
Victims of every injustice, no matter the form
Destruction of all discourse is the newest norm.
It's just like anything, you get out whatever you put in, so make an offering.
I wanna burn, the script of the modern age
And watch the flames, make love to every page.
Vitriol has never eased my pain
Might as well inject poison right in my vein
Wanna burn the script of the modern age
And watch the flames make love to every page.
It's just like anything, you get out whatever you put in, so make an offering.

Flames Make Love to Every Page

4. IMAGINARY ENEMIES

When you can accept the worst thing
Then there's nothing else to lose
In the future we'll bury the past
Presently we act confused.
Life is full of misfortunes that never happen
Rarely feel a real moment of ease
Await the orders from our captain
Take aim at our imaginary enemies.
The sand will fall one grain at a time
The dust of yesterday is set
Body wrecked and robbed of sound mind
Less to remember more to forget
Life is full of misfortunes that never happen
Rarely feel a real moment of ease
Await the orders from our captain
Take aim at our imaginary enemies.
You can feel it in the air, so frightful, delightful.
The treasure chest has grown bare, look closely, get an eye-full.
Oh Lord!

Imaginary Enemies

5. I NEED A NIGHT LIGHT 
Contains elements of "Fine Feathered Friend" by Jeannie C. Riley, "A Minha Menina" by Os Mutantes and "Jay's Game" by Run DMC

Walking blindly through the night
Slithering shadows causing quite a fright
I remember a while ago
Strolling through a landscape filled with snow.
Wanna feel all right. I need a night light.
Retinas strain inside my skull
Headlights dim as the engine stalls
Trip into the dark unknown
Try to remember all that I've been shown.
Wanna feel all right. I need a night light.
Never know what's in the way
Never know where I'll be forced to stay
It takes more effort to get along
More opportunities to get it wrong.
Wanna feel all right. Want everything to be fine.
Spotted a faint light. In the distance it shines.

I Need a Night Light

6. IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN

Life's too short to argue on the internet
Curse all those faceless avatars
Took an airplane to avoid the white noise
No where on earth would be too far.
There's a price you pay, if you wanna play
It's the same old game, with new rules to obey
It's a long way down.
It takes forever and a day.
Can't go it alone
You're coming with me.
Please silence your phone
We've got real people to see.
Time to be a human being, man.
Chose my destination
Still not sure how to arrive
Longing for an explanation
It's the search that keeps my alive.
Looking for the signs, a short cut or two.
We're just flying blind, it's all we can do.
It's a long way down.
It takes forever and a day.
Can't go it alone
You're coming with me.
Please silence your phone
We've got real people to see.
Time to be a human being, man.

It's a Long Way Down

Find myself living here, if only half the time
Suffer a guilty conscience for uncommitted crimes.
Only a day away, from living out the dream
Without compromise, or going to extremes.
I don't care about feelings, only care about facts
Don't like what the world's dealing, grown eyes on my back
Even the winners are losing, when a deck's too stacked
No time to be snoozing, grown eyes on my back
It's just what humans do, try to hold your tongue
We celebrate ourselves, enough for everyone.
Traps lay in wait, to step in or avoid
I'm not a superstar, I'm a super trapezoid.
I don't care about feelings, only care about facts
Don't like what the world's dealing, grown eyes on my back
Even the winners are losing, when a deck's too stacked
No time to be snoozing, grown eyes on my back

Grown Eyes on My Back

8. REALLY PHUCKIN' GOOD
Contains elements of "Asincronia" by Alessandro Alessandroni, "La fin de la vie, le début de la Survivance" by Cheval Fou, "Rational Anthem" by Gong, "Oh Man" by Armegeeddon, "Canottaggio" by Remigio Ducros, "Trip" by Emma De Angelis, "Les Garde Volent au Secours du Ro" by Jean-Claude Vannier, and "Rock Out" by Art Ensemble of Chicago 

I don't have much to say
Don't need words, just need action.
Need some action to take.
To master anything
All it takes is lots of practice.
Time spent is hard to fake.
Keep those eyes on the prize,
No good comes from could or should.
And that's how we do it,
And we do it really phuckin' good.
Fear is the cheapest seat
Comes with a wall, built to block your view.
Sequestered to the dark.
Every saint has a past
Every sinner, has a future too
This dog ain't lost its bark.
Keep those eyes on the prize,
No good comes from could or should.
And that's how we do it,
And we do it really phuckin' good.

Really Phuckin' Good

Paid my fair share
All aboard the screen door sailboat
We go no where
But somehow we manage to stay afloat.
When the world calls out your name
Walk toward the sound
Make your own piece of Heaven
And may your feet never touch the ground.
It's great to dream, it's great to wake up
We live the lives that we choose to make up,
Trouble comes when good folks lose sight
And behave corruptly just to stay alive.
When the world calls out your name
Walk toward the sound
Make your own piece of Heaven
And may your feet never touch the ground.

May Your Feet Never Touch the Ground

10. A TREE STILL STANDING

It's never too late, to learn something new
Felt great discomfort, with every branch I grew.
The wind's will shake me, watch my trunk sway
Lightning could break me, and I can't run away.
I'm a tree still standing
Feel my roots expanding
Trying to get a better look.
All of my fine feathered friends, come to visit me
Tell me of their travels, world's I'll never see.
The wind's will shake me, watch my trunk sway
Lightning could break me, and I can't run away.
I'm a tree still standing
Feel my roots expanding
Trying to get a better look.
I can't get enough, get enough of the light
Need to grow up tall and reach the sky that glows above so bright
Soon enough I reached the sun, the heat did not agree with me
Longing for some shade as I watch hot flames replace my leaves
I'm a tree still standing
Feel my roots expanding
Trying to get a better look.

A Tree Still Standing

Life takes true courage
Death is easy as saying goodbye
The rich will start wars
In which the poor will die, over and over again.
How will we spend the first day after eternity?
Problems are easy to find
Shining in day-glow
The devil is right here
He brings Hell wherever he goes, over and over again.
Don't want to come back had my fill of work and toil
How many corpses have I left to rot in the soil?
How will we spend the first day after eternity?

The First Day After Eternity

Roddy Walston & The Business, "My Kinda Lover" by Billy Squier, and "Barabajagal" by Donovan

Gonna dip my toe in
Good idea to test the water first
Bobbing in an ocean
Yet I find myself dying of thirst.
Suffering is oh so easy
Grown clinically cynical, oh no!
We get all dressed up
Just to get messed up and end up alone
In giant houses
Made of glass, armed to the teeth with piles of stones
Anger is oh so easy
Grown clinically cynical, oh no!
My pony ran away, I find myself with no recourse
I don't plan to stay, sit on a saddle with no horse
And a horse is a horse, of course, of course
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, oh yeah (repeat)

Clinically Cynical

contains elements of “World as One” by Sam Spence
