SUPERMAN

You’re stuck in a world you don’t get the reactions
Feeling weak, dealing with a whole bunch of emotions
Noisy teeth, broken jaws, you vomit dead illusions
Let me tell you my friend that you’re not an exception

You’re not ugly you’re not crazy
Being diﬀerent isn’t easy
True it is unfair
But you can’t just run away

Ugly worm, they can stomp you whenever they want to
Poor thing, stupid bug, you ‘re not part of the same crew
You don’t exist to their eyes, they were raised with some blinders
Success to them, can’t be real if it ain’t on Instagram pictures

Wretched piece of a human,
Play music entertain us
Your dreams are precious
We’ll destroy ‘em in a sentence

So close your eyes be a superman
Fly above them all, without a single sound
You’re the one who deserves the crown

Not a problem to be torn to be broken, no, just don’t pay attention (It’s a world of mind
distortion)
The way they look, and what they say and how they laugh behind your back, come on
just forget it
Lying to yourself and the world it is useless it just leads to self destruction
They’re jealous, a bit nervous, about you and your moves, they don’t expect them,
yeah I bet it

You’re gold you can fly
Open your wings more than wide
Keep you’re head up high
You’re light, don’t stay aside

So close your eyes, be a superman,
Use your laser beams, all around,
Prison their look, one by one,
Don’t let them shoot you down
Now do they like the show ?
Now you’re the super heroe !

Shower your crass emotions down
Put the pieces together and fly
Don’t let them shoot you down
Put your cape on wear your crown
Be your own superman , superman, superman

 PAROLES
Tu restes
 Comme une parole interrompue
 
 A des années lumières
 Comme un cœur en hiver

A des années lumières
 Rien n’efface ton ombre
 Dans l’oubli rien n’est sombre
 Du joli nom d’amante
Ni le thé à la menthe
 Ni les lèvres mi-closes
 Ni le vase ni la rose
Ni la beauté du chant
 Ni le désenchantement

C’est comme si c’était hier
 Hier
 A des années-lumière

A des années-lumière
 Comme un oiseau qui chante
 Le cœur dans la tourmente
 Et moi qui m’impatiente
 Comme si c’était hier
 Hier

A des années-lumière
 D’étoiles la poussière
 Dans les grands yeux gris-verts
 Des enfants de la terre

Et nos mains sur la table
 Jouent au marchand de sable

 Tu restes
 Comme une parole interrompue
Comme les voix qui se sont tues

Dans l’oubli rien ne sombre
 Dans les années-lumière
Rien n’efface ton ombre
 Pour un cœur en hiver
 C’est comme si c’était…
 Hier

You stay
 Like an interrupted word

 Light years away
 Like an heart in winter

Light years away
 Nothing erases your shadow
 In oblivion nothing is dark
 The pretty name of a lover
Nor mint tea
 Nor half-closed lips
 Neither the vase nor the rose
Nor the beauty of singing
 Nor disenchantment

It's like it was yesterday
 Yesterday
 Light years away

Light years away
 Like a singing bird
 The heart in turmoil
 And I who get impatient
 As if it were yesterday
 Yesterday

Light years away
 From stars to dust
 In the big gray-green eyes
 Children of the Earth

And our hands on the table
 Play Sandman

 You stay
 Like an interrupted word
Like the voices that fell silent

In oblivion nothing sinks
 In the light years
Nothing erases your shadow
 For a heart in winter
 It's like it's...
 Yesterday

À Des Années - Lumière

Ah, the people we meet, and cross paths with, in this life…. So many experiences. How do we respond, especially if life clashes with these chance meetings? And what becomes of it? Once when looking for a place to rent, (25 years ago) I stopped to talk with an old man sitting on a bench. He had so much to say. My partner slowly became furious with me for taking the time to talk with him. We don’t have to wonder how that relationship went. In other words, this song is not about her…. Hee-hee. Or the old man for that matter. However, there are moments when paths cross, sometimes coming from very different trajectories and all of a sudden something wonderful happens in that moment. Gather, you might have experienced that too. This song is about a brief encounter with a kindred spirit, where our life trajectories did not change: A moment in passing. The song also contains some socially relevant thoughts/ lyrics about the world and my experience of it. Thoughts are thoughts though, and I find the more flexibly malleable I am with them, especially when it comes to the relative truths they may, or may not contain, the freer I am. Seems the more I attach to thoughts and refuse to change, the worse off it seems to get… But that’s just me. Hope you enjoy the song, Mark

Lammbone's Album

Moment In Passing

/больно махать с пирона вслед/
drawn people wave to us
from the compartments - carriages

it's time for them

they draw promises - to come back..
and that they already miss you
that they are so sorry..

and on the glass of the heart
they write..
with paper with tears in their eyes

and then erase..

cold or sadness on their faces?

and it seems that they are yearning and suffering
but the train has started moving
and they forget..

drawn people wave to us
from the compartments - carriages

where?
where -
they will go now
so that our love does not burn out..

it doesn't matter to them -
where to draw feelings..
and then erase everything..
erase..

and forget...



нам машут нарисованные люди 
из купе - вагонов

им ехать надо

они рисуют обещания - вернуться ..
и что уже скучают
что им так жаль..

и на стекле сердцА 
выводят ..
с бумажными слезами на глазах

а потом стирают ..

на лицах их простуда или грусть

и будто бы тоскуют и страдают
но поезд тронулся
и забывают..

нам машут нарисованные люди
из купе - вагонов

куда 
куда
они теперь поедут
чтобы любовью нашей не сгореть

не важно

им - где чувства рисовать ..
и всё стирать
стирать

и забывать ...

Say Goodbye Again

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel  --MD—effected vocals
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, trippy synth
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and seed idea 
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began about half a year ago, as part of a three song set that Ken started with some really cool beats. Josh was first to the trough for here, laying in his fretless bass groove to complete the foundation and give it some tonal direction. Stephen came next and laid in the really trippy textural guitar that you hear throughout. JJ was next with his serious, no joke organ playing, which sets the mood for the whole thing. Last, but not least, Tez joined by adding some really cool accent guitar throughout.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so we tapped Stephen to do the honors on this.
  We had originally made this and the other two song with the intention of having The Mysterious Decibel and his friend Modes About Me sing on them. However, life got in the way, so we sat on them. Finally, MD let us know that he wasn't able to complete the project with us, much to everyone's, including his, disappointment. However, MD did lay down a rough vocal demo for us, which Stephen very ably processed to sound almost like another instrument in there. So, we're releasing this song as a tribute to them both, with gratitude, especially to MD for all the great work he's put in with us. If you're not familiar with either of them, do yourself a favor and check them out. Modes about me is at  @modesaboutme and the link to The Mysterious Decibel can be found in the link in the cast of characters above. 
  This is an example of what it sounds like when the whole band composes a song together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

A Christmas Ghost Story

Wild Walking (Collab with Mistermark)

Somewhere cross the world
People free and brave
Anything they want they take
It's a land of plenty
Enough for everyone
Except for those with none

Don't worry darling 
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Got tiny little hearts
To hear the way they live
So little love left to give
And if they got no house
They live on the street
Or maybe in a car's backseat

But don't worry darling
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Late at night they sing their songs
With all the grace of Babylon

My beautiful child
May you never see
What's become of their dream
Soon the day will be dawning
We'll wake and rise my darling
While somewhere night has fallen 
Somewhere far from here

But don't worry darling
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Somewhere Far From Here
