I was blind ‘til I saw the thunder The silver rod striking through my bones And the cry of an atom Recharging in the vast sea of ether I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are morphing in a hug I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are morphing in a hug I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are morphing in a hug I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are a hug Mother, sing me awake Into the depths of the sea that hold me Mother breath me into the dream of Here and Now Here and Now Drops of rain through my passages of electric blue My halo is a magnetic sea, The sound of my soul feeding my fellow trees I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are morphing in a hug I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are morphing in a hug I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are morphing in a hug I surround it, it surrounds me, like we are a hug Mother, sing me awake Into the depths of the sea that hold me Mother breath me into the dream of Here and Now Here and Now [Spoken word:] I am just now getting comfortable Wrapped in a cozy blanket of earth Illuminated by the golden energy rays of starlight Drinking my way through growth and decay Get up, drink up, and lift your petals to the sky Focus on your light as the day passes by It’s painting a picture in slow motion Like the waves of the ocean paint the sand and leave treasures behind Suck up the air that is clouding your mind Vacuuming debris that will poison your kind and careful center of intelligence Dust it off and open the blinds to let the sun shine in And your roots sink down in stability, security Finally finding the feeling that you belong exactly where you’re standing by… Here I am the earth and the earth is my heart Water me

Up up up up the elevator How do I get to wonderland? The answer keeps disappearing Drive to work Rearview mirror Eyes stare back No one there Eat, sleep, work, repeat! Off with your head Guillotine, your black tie No time for tea Keep running figure eights Drowning in Mindless landfill Hold your breath Swallow your pill Eat, sleep, work, repeat! What piece am I in this jigsaw puzzle? Give a dog a bone, then give a dog a muzzle Piece am I, piece am I, piece am I, piece am I? Climbing high on this endless ladder If I reach the top, will it even matter? Piece am I, piece am I, piece am I, piece am I? What peace have I if I’m tethered by time? Thinking in circles with no finish line Peace have I, Peace have I, peace have I, peace have I? Tick tock tick death is one step behind Waiting patiently for a stumble or bind Peace have I, Peace have I, peace have I, peace have I? Piece am I, peace have I The answer you’ve been searching for In this madness Just listen…. Down down down down the rabbit hole

I try to find My peace of mind So that I can see Better days I am not your slave Feel as if I’m standing in my grave But I will overcome The pain Don’t you wish you loved me better? And tried a little harder? You keep bringing me down So I’ve got to let you go I’ve just got to let you go I’ve just got to let You GO!

There is something in the water You skinned Flint, skinflint scam! And it doesn’t seem to bother When you control the mint It’s not alright, it’s not our right and it probably should be There are people dying, how is your third home? It’s not alright, it’s not our right and it probably should be There are people crying, it’s okay if I’m okay What goes around comes around It’s not alright, it’s not our right and it probably should be There are people asking, the irony is the pipedream It’s not alright, it’s not our right and it probably should be There are people in charge that will soon wash away in the flood What goes around comes around There is something in the water You skinned Flint, skinflint scam! And it doesn’t seem to bother When you control the mint There is something in the water You skinned Flint, skinflint scam! And it doesn’t seem to bother When you control the mint

Stand in line… for what? It’s time to cut to the front It’s hard to stand in line for what, for what, for what, for what Stand in line… for what? It’s time to cut to the front It’s hard to stand in line for what, for what, for what, for what Stand in line… for what? It’s time to cut to the front It’s hard to stand in line for what, for what, for what, for what I’m always in the right place Because you left space For me to blend in Send in your complaints [Computer Poetry:] A TREE OR SHRUB CAN GROW AND BLOOM I AM ALWAYS THE SAME BUT I AM CLEVER We’re all ready for change! I see it all in different ways Some are casper milquetoast Some are bleeding hearts Some are the chameleon Come see them on the TV screen you own I’m always in the right place, because you left space We’re all ready for change! I see it all in different ways Some are casper milquetoast Some are bleeding hearts Some are the chameleon Come see them on the TV screen you own We’re all ready for change! I see it all in different ways Some are casper milquetoast Some are bleeding hearts But I am the chameleon Come see me on the TV screen you own

What are you running from? Why are you so scared? Can you imagine peace in the air? Close your eyes What is true What’s real Follow me into The Unified Field I am divine love

about

This album took the band to the next step as a unit. We brought on guitarist Travis Swanson for this record and guest cellist Jacob Halmich into the studio for additional sounds. This record also featured our new drummer, Madison George, who provided some added colors and styles in addition to some solid chops.

The record involved about a month of writing/performing and a month pre-production while performing some of these tunes live prior to tracking. After several tracking, overdubbing, and mixing sessions at Third Coast Recording Company in Grand Haven, the album was sent off to Capitol Records to get mastered.

Finally, the album was released May 10th after a successful Kickstarter campaign fund that raised money for new merchandise and physical versions of the album on CD and Vinyl.
