1.	Ouroboros 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Consumed with and by myself Eternal universe within Cycle without beginning or end Philosopher's Stone is mine alone No need for eyes For there is nothing I need to see No need for ears For there is nothing I need to hear No need for feet For there is nowhere I need to go Explosion of energy As Shakti separates from Shiva So spins the cycle of Samsara The dragon consumes its tail Duality of birth and death Creation and destruction Of and by myself Timeless, endless, immortal I am the Ouroboros.
2.	Another Pointless Song 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Agonizing over choices of words Until the perfect expression is captured Hours upon hours spent Blending the marriage of music and words For your entertainment At some point I realized my labour of love To you is just another pointless song Something to be ridiculed and criticized Forgotten shortly after the reverb fades And your opinion is noted Well, screw you man This is my music And you will hear it Have your opinion No one cares what you think Welcome to inner webs of my mind Where chaos and sanity battle for The right to express themselves today Simple, complicated, beautiful, and ugly I can’t apologize if it’s too much for you to handle So I’ll concede my brain dump May be just another pointless song Something rudely expelled from my mind Forced upon masses of unwarned ears And still your opinion is noted In the end it doesn’t matter anyway Pretending this is for you is self-delusion Another pointless song keeps me One step further away from insanity Oh yeah, it’s another pointless song Something to be ridiculed and criticized Forget me shortly after the reverb fades And your opinion is noted
3.	Time Slides 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Time slides Taking all the times away to speak my mind Time slides Taking all the times away to tell you why You there, digging in for the fight of your life Me here, searching for the right words to explain how Time slides No time to love or hate, all work no play Time flies Want to slow the spinning world to reengage You there, putting one foot in front of the other Me here, listening to the awakening inside So we open the book and write another chapter This moment pulls us close, love and cries and laughter I swear I won’t let go of how alive I feel And yet the fog is so close, so close and very real Time slides Stealing all your time to say goodbye Time lies Cause the clock keeps moving faster than our lives You there, reaching for me through fog and time Me here, reaching, hoping to keep the moment alive So we open the book and write another chapter This moment pulls us close, love and cries and laughter I swear I won’t let go of how alive I feel And yet the fog is so close, so close and very real
4.	Head Butt Time 05:26	lyrics	buy track
I'm trying Water off the duck's back and all that You take the needle Dig and twist Annoying gnat My hands are shaking The pressure is building Your piehole is smirking While danger is lurking Just one more word To make me snap I just cant take any more of your crap It's head butt time Smug punk You've had it coming So hear I am Happy to deliver forceful application of forehead To nasal appendix (spoken in background of quiet part) That’s it. That’s the look... the one that you get on that pretentious, self-righteous face of yours. The one that says you think you’re smarter than me, that you’re just too cool to care, that you think you can push my buttons over and over and nothing will come of it. Well, I’ve got something for you. Have some pain, courtesy of cranium.
5.	Under The Blood Red Crescent Moon 05:32	lyrics	buy track
Under the blood red crescent moon Your scent reaches out to me Hunting, yearning, needing I will get to you Under the blood red crescent moon Instinct overwhelmes Obsessed, indifferent, calculating I know I'll get to you Slowly, slowly, ground I'm gaining Surely you know your time is fading Under the blood red crescent moon Murder in shadowy light Imminent, godlike, predestined Resolution of nature's tension Under the blood red crescent moon Climbing up from the fog Satiated, sentient, wired Only the means to an end Slowly, slowly, to the shadows I'm fading Expert in the art of evading Under the blood red crescent moon Hunter stalks the prey Survival of the fittest Nightly on display
6.	Path of the Beam 05:49	lyrics	buy track
Blind to the beam, I feel so slow Like I’m running through waist-deep water So I push to find my speed again Life continually adds complication Distractions that tear me from my singularity And the shades are slowly drawn around me But once in a while A sliver of clarity knifes in through the haze and that beam of light shines ahead The moment of clarity is easily identified But the loss of clarity happens slowly over time That fleeting moment is the only reminder of the fact that you were lost for a while unidentified Groping through the dark Reaching for the path of the beam again Transmission slips into neutral as life races on by me Days exponentially pass The pace in my mind feels no different than before but The world around me is keeping its own score So I fight for my light to define the path again Although I start in that direction who knows where I may end For the path of the beam may be strong and true But the world around me is committed to blocking my view
7.	Find My Way 03:46	lyrics	buy track
3am Morning haunting but just can’t find sleep Impossible grinding equation Brain searching Reality so not quite Dream says yeah but maybe not right So, well you say the desert calling so low I can’t hear you on the telephone The words line up but I just can’t see The connection The link between you and me There it is, job is calling, feeling so down Dragging my butt off the ground Waiting for karma to shed A better light on me, so I can jump free But I know what I’m seeing A dead end answer to a dead end dream So hard to believe, so hard to shove ahead So hard to ignore those voices in my head So I look to the sky for an answer And all that returns is a simple melody I will find a way I will find my way
8.	Predator 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I’m watching you slither in Sunken eyes scanning the room Eyes on your prey, the werewolf at play Full moon and approaching midnight I see your intention to (ab)use And return to sender Concentrated conviction in the cause The desperate, the weak, the troubled, the tender Denial and desperation fueled by inebriation They don’t even know they’ve entered the lair of the Monster Predator Ever skillful, the hunt begins A 220 lb wrecking ball Covered with everything to disguise just what you are Pathetic but target effective Many smell it coming a mile away, stay away Separate from the herd And move in for the kill Denial and desperation fueled by inebriation They don’t even know they’ve entered the lair of the Monster Predator The others fell for someone just like you Maybe tonight you will see that I can be a predator too
9.	Whispers 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Searching eyes, she strains to see Blanket darkness, I will set us free Probe the shadows, come and take my hand Grip it slips away like sand Rip’s right in front of you For all eternity I scream out your name The weeping wind whispers, echoes my pain I will surrender, come and take me down Interlocking fingers, I will me to drown
10.	Loud It Up 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Back al-ley, slid-ing through through the sha-dows I glide my stock is up, way up luck-y strike, I lied on top of fate I ride One way road paved in gold I’m riding suicide loud it up, let it roll Leaving late, looking fine leaving late, right on time Two shad-ows follow me con-quer and di-vide One’s too much half the time double fine, I shine behind my crook-ed smile stain underneath my soul turn that frown up side down loud it up let it roll Leaving late, looking fine leaving late, right on time livin life, livin loud loud me up, loud me now Loud it up In-sane in-sanity demented and wise In-sane calamity the last first prize Look out across the bow How many tales I told new dawn new streets to prowl loud it up, let it roll Leaving late, looking fine leaving late, right on time livin life, livin loud loud me up, loud me now Loud it up
11.	Stay Hungry 03:05	info	buy track
12.	Nocturnal Therapy 07:02	lyrics	buy track
Late at night I begin to drift Off into an in-between state The place where dreams become reality The world is at our disposal I look into your eyes and sense fear The accumulation of bad experience I sense a pressure, weight upon your head Holding tightly to each other, we depart Mystically bound to see the end Too afraid to move on Yet too afraid to wake and forget The unleashing of your mind Painful memories like a broken record Skipping at the part of the song That you’d rather leave behind But you have to hear it through I take your hand As we reach the promise land The wisdom of ages is close As your eyes flutter and close Fight the fight and win the war Slay the beast forevermore Leave the past behind And walk the road to a new life For you have to leave it behind Have to pass that final stage Pushing it back won’t make it go Out of the cobwebs of your mind Wait to see your dream become reality New light is shed on you and me Destiny finds you free from the sandman The power of the night is in your hands

about

Writing and recording for this album started in 2013. ProTools was used, so the quality of the recordings, and especially the drum tones, are significantly better than previous albums. The writing and recording process for this album has been particularly slow due to "life", along with the crazy level of detail to which ProTools allows you to go.
