Pure Intentions 03:34
lyrics

What's your desire? Can you get out of your own way? Are you just a brutal liar? Lost in mirrors you made A guiding light of wonder breaks through the edges of your maze All you thought you ever wanted is clouding each step that you take Towards blinding brilliance Elevation Find me something Pure intention Honest sensation Escaping all street hassles Discarding confrontations putting you in your own shame Embrace dimensions Invite the ringing of the bell Trust only true sensations Brilliance in sound overwhelms Lift us up now The road to purity in your voice is never straight Can we go deeper now? Deeper we go, the less we'll ever need to say C'mon (whoo) With raw power it can be pure (it can be pure) it can be pure be pure and never cower Pure intentions man I've been high too long, now I'm getting grounded, going higher deeper in the core (to the core) towards universal ways (universal ways) Feel dimensions Channel vibration Honest sensation Pure intentions Fuel creation Give up something Why you waitin'? Why you waitin'? Why you waitin'? Why you waitin'?

Metal On Metal 07:11
lyrics

Hey yeah Something so fragile Nearly unraveled Thread of the thread Cut off at the head Misguided Misled So easily swayed You gotta figure it out There's only today Can't live in denial Gotta fight for survival Let's go away Put you head down wherever you lay Dream the dream, helps on the way That's all fine, we're all good today Gotta do what you think you should When metal meets metal, bone meets bone You're on your own

Broken Buddha 02:52
lyrics

Between the cracks dodging shots People be cool until they’re not Scream and cry That sound don’t lie Delivering shivers from the sky Nothing to hide Nothing to sell Heard you know please do tell Tell me straight Tell me who Then i’ll tell you what I’m gonna do Broken Buddha spills the truth Flip the switch Light the fuse Impermanence of sounds unseen All the waves and mysteries Don’t stand still for long All your thrills will be gone Leaving you nothing left to do but to breathe We’re in pieces stuck together Blanket statements don’t stand in weather Winds grow harsher Each passing season Still we think we know the meaning Still we think we know the meaning We don’t know the meaning Fight and claw To be right Buddha says we have no sight Smile inside, more than feelings Step in deeper, kill that ego Paint Picasso, scream like Waits Preach like King, tempt your fate Love with joy, not with need Hold your heart, so you can heal then Flip the switch Light the fuse Blow shit up With attitude Flip the switch Light the fuse Blow shit up With attitude Flip the switch Light the fuse Blow shit up With attitude Flip the switch Light the fuse

Halloweed 04:50

Another cycle, it’s getting cold out End of October, alone with my own doubts I’m not a loner at the end of each day I make my way to see her/ when she’s closer to May But for now we are breathing / together, no danger, no stranger to comforts In every moment, Life’s transported when an elder reforms into a starburst forever reborn What memory serves from the past in the now It never matters when you take a deep bow Bow to your master/ she’s bowing to hers where his and theirs all take their turns It’s confusing, I know it, judgment seems bloated Though it leads to tears when I can’t find Thay He’s waiting for quiet to have its best day So I let go of my fears Where I can find out when peace is steppin' over and under around and through all of time There’s a garden of sound, it’s felt when you hear it Flying over clouds, dancing while moonlit Hearing horns in your crown with thrills that are twilit Then your eyes betray you/re falling over giants Ascending inward, seeking better weather Crystal clear on trips, dissolving the letter Smoking in the lot, getting high on halloweed Your thoughts are looking backward, you’ve escaped the scene And you can breathe Bow into a new space No longer a child Just have it your own way Because it’s now don't mean it will stay Taking more than you give you can have it that way Don’t have to tell me I get to live it Watching the world I don’t need to win it Something without within over and under around and through all of time Follow the traces Everything else can wait Don’t look back now Who knows what’s behind ya? (what's behind ya?) Never stopping Just decide at the right time Looking back what did you want for? Just afraid that you’re gonna miss out? Please tell me where are you going? Riding the lightning ascending is thrilling twisting in turns, then land on a feeling Stop to assess it, don’t need to seek meaning The depth every climb is printed in dreaming, Grounded, sublime, then find yourself seeing Wanna to be cool with whatever you need Until then it’s just halloweed and we can breathe Out of the way Follow the traces Over and under around and through Over and under around and through Over and under around and through all of time

Exile On Wall Street 05:00
lyrics

Sidewalks are flooded with every wolf wanna-be You Gekko's a phone call away, but he's just out of reach Perched up in a high rise while buildings grow ever taller Why's everyone gotta be in everybody's business while behavior falters Keep walking through jaded valleys toward covered mirrors in a hallway You'll never truly see you actions until reflections are caught always Go easy on your lovelight Go easy on concrete Go easy in conclusions without all facts splayed at your feet Go easy in your bones when they feel like deceit Or you just might find yourself in exile on wall street There's vampires around every corner just waiting for their bloodlust chance Too many dreamers feel compelled to hover, they just want to get in your pants Too few exude patience or question why and what it's all worth just like too many clowns stepping out of car canal like an endless birth There's escapees from the asylum, misguided voices preying on the scene Snorting themselves into oblivion, never finding it out what it all means There's blinding worship to the heavens as the devil sows your greed You can walk endless miles praying you don't get swallowed up by the sea You're caught in an endless ocean Currents caught you as you to breathe You're caught without knowing how they got their hooks into your meat You're caught in web of ego, feeling cut off at the knees Standing on your stumps in exile on wall street I saw you indiscreetly say "that's what we did" though no one else was there to see Maybe it's all in your mind how heroic you are, that's what it is for me There's a heavy toll at ornamental gates when the party reaches its peak Then comes the heavier crash when all the tips reward stupidity Tornados of dysfunction sit at tables of king makers' fleet Defacing spirit, collecting tokens from everyone that they meet Don't share that it's all out of tune when you're eyes and ears can't find the beat Stuck like a portrait of friendships, hanging fake currency won't help you eat You pay if you're worship where pay's expected before belief You gotta pay with every drop of blood just to strive to be free You gotta pay a lifetime of good deeds to see the cosmos in a leaf while the wind blows all the trash toward exile on wall street

Seeds of love Planted deep Growing old Fire breaths Illuminate Changing fate Blinding gates In a weightless state we flow Like an eagle soaring Higher state Beyond thrills Light being All one thing Envision Articulate Open heart About to start Let’s go It’s only the beginning You know that It’s done right When sounds you seek Turn to light Our energy Reflecting peace Inner war Transcend me Rising free Rising free Rising free Rising free Rising free Rising free Rising free Rising free Rising free Rising free

The Quilt 00:31

What's there to think when you feel that you know all about life as you suffer big blows That's when you see what you're made up of when we dream Dream deep in a weave of multiple lives seeing connection through all of the strife and silence is a from a peace in the night when we sleep

about

Some time before Covid, we convened at the high ridge. We were still prone to old schtick, throwing paint. In a last blow out, we blew it out - a clearance sale. Everything must go. The splatter settled on some tracks. They weren’t exactly songs, but they weren’t buckshot either. We had a session with Dave. We recorded some Lofi rhythmic ideas on our phones. We took a step back and saw some bones, some bricks, some connective tissue still in the box. We pulled them forth one by one.

We started crafting. And reflecting. It started flowing. We brought our friends…the Carnival Barker, Disco Brando, Louzzy and Chiklis, Juana Nirvana. Dickey was down the hall to the left when we scrapped a techno track, Missy Elliot dropped by on 10/31. We jammed and over dubbed and stripped back and built up… themes emerging - songs about songs… movement, the essence of ghosts. As the tunes took shape, when they needed us most, we walked away from them. It was too nice out. Much to our Chagall… they were still there when we got back. We had no choice. We had to find the words. We knew somehow it was more about what we didn’t do than what we did and that’s saying something because we did a lot… the meditation is in the restraint. Broken Buddha spills the truth.
