LYRICS:

I paved the road and I drove it home
All on my own like I like to be
And I brought the rain and drank all your pain
And make you feel sane when you want to be

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now

Now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now

I paint my sky and I fly it dry
Limits are high in a reverie
And I make the way and borrow you may
But you only play yourself mentally

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now

I used to be alone, I'm used to being alone
When I'm feeling alone, I feel I'm close to home
There will come a time when your mind is free
There will come a time when you don't need to be
Anyone

What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Need To Be

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Sometimes you go to a dark place.

WRETCHED BEGGAR

Ooooo….
Ooooo….

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
Why don’t you 
Why won’t you
Why can’t you
Get out of my way 
It’s my way

All you do
When I’m in your arms
All you do 
To twist and turn me
All you do
To look the other way
Alll you do
To ignore me

I should leave you
I can’t bear you
Why don’t I
Why won’t I
Why can’t I
Get out of my way 
Gotta be one day

A little devil in my mind
Poking me with his red hot trident
White smile on his face
I feed him 
I feed him
That fat little bastard
I’m gonna get the wretched beggar

All I do
To forget myself
All I do
To erase myself
Never do
Anything I used to
Never do
Anything I want to

Better for you
Better for me
I think we
I believe we
I hope we
Get out of my way 
Never better than today

Wretched Beggar

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. I added my five string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part. Then JJ poured his magic into it, too. Stephen came up with the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. 
  Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 
  After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Lyrics by Ken:
Feed the flame or the fire flames out

Ouroboros

Wayfaring stranger(Cash cover)

when i was a boy many years ago, one hot summers day.
my friends and i were walking down, a narrow country road.
feeling dizzy and about to faint, i found myself looking down on us.
my spirit was free and hovering above and that's when i saw the truth.

even though they are joined as one, they can separate.
the secrets of the body and soul, are the key to your ultimate fate...... the key to your ultimate fate.

many people have had one of these, it's called an O.B.E.
when we die and in our body, we will struggle to set ourselves free.
i don't know if we will all succeed, but i know it's possible.
so could it be, how we behave, could decide our life beyond the grave.

even though they are joined as one, they can separate.
the secrets of the body and soul, are the key to your ultimate fate...... the key to your ultimate fate.

The secrets of the body and soul.  (O.B.E)
