Get Up
Music & Lyrics by Justin Avdek
Let the synesthesia be the je ne sais quoi
I wish I would, I wish I could
Well then get up, get up
I wish I would, I wish I could
Well then get up, get up
You are the energy found in a hummingbird’s heart
Starting is the hardest part
Moonlight reflects off your wings
As you sleep
In dreams there’s not a hill too steep
A ship is safest on the shore
But that’s not what it’s built for
But I can’t escape the warmth of my bed
Or the colors dancing in my head
Let the synesthesia be the je ne sais quoi
Don’t lose your mind!
And don’t lose mine
It’s a waste of wine
And a waste of time
I wish I would, I wish I could
Well then get up, get up
I wish I would, I wish I could
Well then get up, get up
The light is faster than the sound
Words become meaningless, SHINE!
Tasting the time it takes
The synesthesia is the je ne sais quoi
A ship is safest on the shore
But that’s not what it’s built for
But I can’t escape the warmth of my bed
Or the colors dancing in my head
Let the synesthesia be the je ne sais quoi
Don’t lose your mind!
And don’t lose mine
It’s a waste of wine
And a waste of time
Don’t lose your mind!
And don’t lose mine
It’s a waste of wine
And a waste of time
Don’t lose your mind.

Chicka(Blah-Blah)
Music and lyrics by Hannah Laine
I know that you think I’m quiet, maybe you’re just too loud
Have I gotten your attention, or is my head just lost in the crowd?
Some people talk too much
Slow it down, shut your mouth and listen
Your words are like a shell with nothing in it
Take a breath and look through a new lens
See the fingerprints in the bark of a tree
Candy-colored tulips kiss the sky’s cheek
Mind your mind
It’s hard to find your voice
When it’s drowning in gibberish
Blah blah blah in my ear
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Hold up, be still, shhhhhhhh
Are you here?
Chickadee is calling me, I’ve gotta get this
A message in a melody
It would be unwise of us to miss this
*chickadee whistle*
With words, reality manifests
Your world is born from the rhythm that you invest in
Let the venom die,
Let your vision come to life
Let the venom die,
Let your vision come to life
Let the venom die,
Let your vision come to life

One is All
Music & lyrics by Travis Swanson
I want to get away
From the choices that were made
Before I could see
The illusion still remains
Flooded valleys and golden plains
There’s somethin greater than me
And all this time
I was lying to myself
Thinking I was different than everyone else
And all this time
The answer was inside
Easy to spot in the absence of pride
Let us get high
Look to the great sky
This rock is so damn small
Love and adulation
As we orbit around this sun
One is All, All is One
And all this time
I was lying to myself
Thinking i was different than everyone else
And all this time
The answer was inside
Easy to spot in the absence of pride

Evolve
Music & Lyrics by Hannah Laine
When the mind is tuned to black and white
Gradience detected, radiance rejected
Words penetrate, yet ears are deaf
And the heart, it suffocates from unnecessary weight
Forgive me if my ignorance has washed you away
Sometimes it takes a while to see the light of day
But when I polish my eyes, I find yours, too, are gray
Faded from the toil of an internal brigade
Reach your feelings higher, higher
Find my feelings in your DNA
Fission, Fusion,
Merging, Union
Won’t you evolve with me
Grow in my company
Evolve with me
Grow, grow, grow
The clash of ideals can be a brutal blight
Picking apart every word and utterance, just to spite
Or protect the self that fears neglect
But patience is a virtue
A practice that will never hurt you
That when accompanied by breath can leave your heart
As light as a feather
Won’t you evolve with me
Grow in my company
Evolve with me
Grow, grow, grow
We are here to ascend and be blessed
Learn from Creation, love and attest
Make a better home for humanity
Uplift, empower, rise above vanity
Unify Sapien with Earth and elements
Overcome patterns of hate and resentment
Rewire, heal, to birth, and to grow
Receive our gifts, create and let go
Evolve with me
Grow in my company
Evolve with me
Grow, grow, grow
Evolve with me
Grow in my company
Evolve with me
Grow, grow, grow
Evolve with me
Grow in my company
Evolve with me
Grow, grow, grow

Wrong Tree
Music & Lyrics by Justin Avdek
Rest assured you’re gonna need somebody
Don’t count on me
Don’t look at me, you’re gonna need somebody else
You’re barkin’ up the wrong tree
Rest assured you’re gonna need somebody
Don’t count on me
Don’t look at me, you’re gonna need somebody else
You’re barkin’ up the wrong tree
Don’t look at me, you’re gonna need somebody
Don’t count on me (it’s on fire)
The man in the sky does a fly-by
Knocked once, left
Said “sorry that you missed me”
Don’t look at me, you’re gonna believe somebody else
With money (but we’re out of water)
With black spite the put up a fight
And put the man of orange
In the house of white
Rest assured you’re gonna need somebody
Don’t count on me
Don’t look at me, you’re gonna need somebody else
You’re barkin’ up the wrong tree
Rest assured you’re gonna lead somebody
Into the sea
Push them further and further down
And tell them that they’re scuba diving
Rest assured you’re gonna falsify your god
To meet your needs
Embellishment and hellish men
Sending land into the sea
Stop
Don’t look at me
Just look in the mirror, it couldn’t be clearer
If it were a snake it would’ve bit you
It’s YOU!
It’s you
Don’t look at me
Just look in the mirror, it couldn’t be clearer
If it were a snake it would’ve bit you
It’s YOU!
It’s you

Welcome to the Escape Room, where the rules are limited and your thoughts don’t matter
Hang up your coat, put on your dancing shoes, and grab some of our special, life-numbing juice
Our top shelf is reserved for your darkest secrets and deepest tribulations
Bottom shelf is on special for those with self-conscious tendencies or shallow regrets
Pack your bags - only the strong-willed find the exit
Everybody wants to dance like meeeeee
Fallin’ and crawlin’ all over the floor
Don’t you think that we should make a scene!
Everybody wants to dance like meeeeee
Fallin’ and crawlin’ all over the floor
Don’t you think that we should make a scene!
Step into my trance
Here’s some liquid confidence
Hang your life at the door
Another sip, and you’ll want more
Everybody wants to dance like meeeeee
Fallin’ and crawlin’ all over the floor
Don’t you think that we should make a scene!
Everybody wants to dance like meeeeee
Fallin’ and crawlin’ all over the floor
Don’t you think that we should make a scene!
Hey mama
With a baby in her hand a bottle in the otha
Over the can she hovers
Spillin’ out her guts as she reaches for anotha
She’s got a brotha
With a needle in his hand and his pain in the otha
He’s under cova
Playin’ like a boss, when the kicker is his lova
She can’t see when her brain is fading
That she is the light and the life worth saving
With the bottle dead and her head gone numb
The night is all that remains when the morning comes
When the morning comes
Everybody wants to dance like me
Na na na, na na na na na!
Na na na, na na na na na!
Na na na, na na na na na!
Na na na, na na na na na!

One foot
In front of the other
Slowly
Getting closer
Cool air
Cloaks my temple
Misty
Aqueous veil
Seeing red beyond the pale
Cooler heads will prevail
Heartbeat
Becoming quicker
Heavy
Feet grow thicker
Wanting
An elevator
Can’t save
The rest for later
Seeing red beyond the pale
Cooler heads will prevail
Seeing red beyond the pale
Cooler heads will prevail
Way up here
I can see the path that I walk on
Looking down
Upon my molted skin
Made anew
Body is born again
Feather-fleshed
I ascend, a raven

The Lesson
Music & Lyrics by Travis Swanson
Gray skies gave way
To the sun, to the soul
Take time, make way
For the things you can’t control
Each day is a gift
Every breath a blessing
Each day is a gift
Every breath a blessing
So why are we stressing?
The sun rises and sets
The lesson
Give love, be peace
Let the way guide you home
This time right now
Is all we really know
Each day is a gift
Every breath a blessing
Each day is a gift
Every breath a blessing
So why are we stressing?
The sun rises and sets
The lesson

Music & Lyrics by Hannah Laine
You are
The tiny flicker in my darkest room
You are the water lain my fiery tomb
You are the breath of life inside my womb
You are my love, my life
Cool my fire burning out of control
This flame has buried me deep under my skin
I fight for the thoughts that lead my away from my soul
That needs to breathe you in
You carry me in your nest
You bring me home, whisper rest
It’s okay, love
Let your thoughts slip away, love
I can feel you coming back to me
So just breathe me in
Just breathe me in
Just breathe me in
Just breathe me in
You are my love
My life, my light
My blood, my breath
You are my love, my light
my life my breath,
and the blood in my veins
You are my love, my light, my life, my breath
You are my love and my life
My light and my breath
My love and my light
My life and my breath
Just breathe me in
