Birdhouse 04:43
Forever lurking down below A million leagues beneath the flow Lies something awful, deathly so A shapeless twisting evil beast The rotting stench of the deceased A thousand mouths with which to feast But as of now it dreams Under the glimmering Luminescent glow that twinkles like a spark It keeps the beast cloaked within the dark The ripples of the light Protect us in the night Moving out, beyond the sea and for the land Forever hiding beneath the sand Darkness is kept at bay Because the light keeps it away There's something lurking at the bottom of the sea... The light is still down there today Keeping the evil beast away But we know it's not here to stay We need to find some way to strive To help our species spread and thrive To keep our very souls alive And so we take a stand Our science tools in hand Reaching down below, examining the source To synthesize and to reinforce We've got a prototype We use it every night Turn it on before you flip the other ones Now we'll be safe when it eats the sun Darkness is kept at bay Because the light keeps it away Protects us every day Surely the light can be remade [INSTRUMENTAL] There's something lurking at the bottom of the sea... Forever lurking down below A million leagues beneath the flow Lies something awful, deathly so But as of now it dreams Under the glimmering Luminescent glow that twinkles like a spark It keeps the beast cloaked within the dark Darkness is kept at bay Because the light keeps it away Protects us every day Surely the light can be remade

Clear as Ice 03:30
Average in almost every way But feelings of happiness come to stay That's why we like you (That's why we like you) Not enough time to play silly games The kindest of hearts sitting under the flames That's why we like you (That's why we like you) Living like a family Many personalities No, there isn't a price It's as clear as ice Brought into life through magic unknown Living together, never alone That's why we like you (That's why we like you) Stubborn and selfish, quite the contrast Consumer of love once it has amassed That's why we like you (That's why we like you) Living like a family Many personalities No, there isn't a price It's as clear as ice Stitching behind a literal mask Timid and shy yet up to the task That's why we like you (That's why we like you) Sweet and naive and terribly kind Easy to lose and harder to find That's why we like you (That's why we like you) Living like a family Many personalities No, there isn't a price It's as clear as ice

Little old man Squeaking in a wheel chair Little old man Your camera lets you know it's there Little old man Friend who always shouts and shrieks Little old man Cabins don't protect from freaks Stay in the closet when the girl's around Sneaking through the ruins where you can't be found The writing on the wall means the man is near Oh, laugh it up! Little old man It's no harder to see at night Little old man Don't ever let it out of sight Little old man The dead will face the wrath of kings Little old man The darkness hides a lot of things Stay in the closet when the girl's around Sneaking through the ruins where you can't be found The writing on the wall means the man is near Oh, laugh it up! [INSTRUMENTAL] Stay in the closet when the girl's around Sneaking through the ruins where you can't be found The writing on the wall means the man is near Oh, laugh it up! Oh, laugh it up! Stay in the closet when the girl's around Sneaking through the ruins where you can't be found The writing on the wall means the man is near Oh, laugh it up!

Look at you, all the way up there I reach up and take you down Good as new, it's really very rare Guess I'd better not mess around I think we might have some connection Something's there, I can't deny But if I make too close inspection Chances are we're all gonna die I hide you from the public eye You're something that I can't dispose of There's no need for me to go outside We fit each other like a glove I'm in some kind of dusty love What to do, no one understands How this bond of ours exists Can't be true, I followed your commands Their harmless joking would not desist Your pages must be old and weary Your spine must feel so aged and creased Your cover makes you look so dreary It's probably cause you're made out of the deceased I hide you from the public eye (He hides you from the public eye) You're something that I can't dispose of (You're something that he can't dispose of) There's no need for me to go outside (No need for him to go outside) We fit each other like a glove (They fit each other like a glove) I'm in some kind of dusty love (He's in some kind of dusty love) They say "There's plenty of fish in the sea." But there's only one of you (Some kind of dusty love) It's not as easy as they said it would be Oh, what am I supposed to do? Look at you, all the way up there I reach up and take you down Lots to do, tidy up the lair Must avoid the eyes of the town I think I've found a way to see you Chanting under candlelight "What once has changed we cannot undo" Now we're under your eternal night I hid you from the public eye (He hid you from the public eye) But now they see you up above (We see you way up high above) Now we're living underneath your sky (Now we live underneath your sky) Glowing shapes that we're unworthy of (These shapes that we're unworthy of) I'm in some kind of dusty love (He's in some kind of dusty love)

Ticking off the list of the things to do Oh, we've barely started, yet the time's overdue I try to help you, but you cannot see You're making my life a freaking misery You know, you're driving me crazy And no, it's not cause I'm lazy You tell me what to do because you think you're right You tell me what to do because you think you're right I love the taste, but I hate the game You're not always right, and so I must be to blame Oh, you wanted lemon; all I have is lime You're not always right, so please stop wasting my time Oh, the insects crawl around the alcohol The filter is dying; don't know why it's installed Leaving's so much harder when you don't leave first The fluids we exchange are all that quench your thirst You know, I'm losing my patience And no, I'm not perfect cadence You tell me what to do because you think you're right You tell me what to do because you think you're right I love the taste, but I hate the game You're not always right, and so I must be to blame All you ever do is complain and whine You're not always right, now please get back in the line [INSTRUMENTAL] You tell me what to do because you think you're right You tell me what to do because you think you're right I love the taste, but I hate the game You're not always right, and so I must be to blame Oh, you wanted lemon; all I have is lime You're not always right, so please stop wasting my time You're not always right... You're not always right...

Segway 03:40
They say that going fast is all they'll ever need So they invest their cash in vehicles built for speed But that's not how I roll, I won't be sitting down No, I don't need a car to get myself around I only need two wheels now They can see me rolling through the town And they know they cannot bring me down I can feel the cool breeze in the air And the wind is blowing through my hair It's the perfect start to a perfect day When I take a ride on my Segway Now it may look quite clumsy in its grand design But I assure you that you're gonna be just fine You lean yourself around to navigate your way The movement feels so fluid and it doesn't sway There's no need to be afraid They can see me rolling through the town And they know they cannot bring me down I can feel the cool breeze in the air And the wind is blowing through my hair It's the perfect start to a perfect day When I take a ride on my Segway Whenever I'm feeling down and blue It's always there for me Take a ride and you will see the truth You know it's meant to be [INSTRUMENTAL] One day we'll gather 'round, deliberate the plan They'll never see it coming when it hits the fan We'll hit them where it hurts and they will see defeat Then we will be the ones to dominate the streets And then our lives will be complete They can see me rolling through the town And they know they cannot bring me down I can feel the cool breeze in the air And the wind is blowing through my hair It's the perfect start to a perfect day When I take a ride on my Segway

You cannot seem to dig yourself out of this hole you're in You should have brought a shovel Your vision's getting worse, and something's crawling on your skin It's really quite the puzzle When they let you in the door You find the thing you're looking for Lights of crimson, sky and jade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades Keep it all inside the box You cannot hear yet no one talks Years from now you're gonna fade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades You try to make a little sound You open up your mouth and words come tumbling out Except they never hit the ground Since the room eats them up, then chews and spits them out When they let you in the door You find the thing you're looking for Lights of crimson, sky and jade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades Keep it all inside the box You cannot hear yet no one talks Years from now you're gonna fade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades [INSTRUMENTAL] When they let you in the door You find the thing you're looking for Lights of crimson, sky and jade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades Keep it all inside the box You cannot hear yet no one talks Years from now you're gonna fade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades When they let you in the door You find the thing you're looking for Lights of crimson, sky and jade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades Keep it all inside the box You cannot hear yet no one talks Years from now you're gonna fade Beneath those rainbow shutter shades

Sky Blue 03:39
Albuquerque, New Mexico I'm living by the day 'Cause there ain't much left to live Trying something new before I go The options have been weighed It's like standing on a cliff And then I saw you Climbing through the window I knew just what to do I had to let you in So I struck you a deal We split it down the line It may seem surreal But in the end we'll be just fine As long as it's me and you We're gonna make it through Cause it's just me and you, it's true We're gonna make the Sky Blue Things are getting complicated now Some people may have died But I've still got you to trust Mixed in with the sweat upon my brow We swear it isn't dyed And I swear it won't combust I have a new plan We'll get a new supplier Out of the frying pan And back into the fire I'll cut to the chase Someone else signed for the part They want you replaced So I left them this remark I said it's just me and you So bid your friend adieu Because it's me and you, it's true We're gonna make the Sky Blue Don't lose your temper Look what you've done [INSTRUMENTAL] Somehow we have made it through the pain And now we know the cost So let's try it once again We've made lots of friends along the way Don't forget what we have lost But don't reach down the drain A couple loose ends Are all we have to work out You know you are my friend So clear your head full of doubt Now we are the gods I've never felt so strong We beat all the odds Now nothing can go wrong As long as it's me and you You're gonna make it through Yes, it's just me and you, it's true We're gonna make the Sky Blue

Roll the windows, let the sun in Another morning to get through If only I could show you The world from my point of view Can't get these words out of my head My whole damn life they've been unsaid Please talk to me Please talk to me 'Cause I'm a vegetable, I cannot speak (Please talk to me) Time flies by week after week (Please talk to me) I just lay here, staring like a freak (Please talk to me) The future of this zucchini is looking bleak See the coastline from the window Watch them walking by the bay It must feel really wondrous To walk by it every day But sadly life's been less than good I might as well be made of wood Please talk to me Please talk to me 'Cause I'm a vegetable, I cannot speak (Please talk to me) Time flies by week after week (Please talk to me) I just lay here, staring like a freak (Please talk to me) The future of this zucchini is looking bleak [INSTRUMENTAL] 'Cause I'm a vegetable, I cannot speak (Please talk to me) Time flies by week after week (Please talk to me) I just lay here, staring like a freak (Please talk to me) The future of this zucchini is looking bleak

about

After countless hours spent fiddling away in my room, I have finally released my first album! Worked on over the span of about 2 years, this album captures my increasing competency in writing, recording and mixing my own music in my own environment. Heavily inspired by Lemon Demon, Jonathan Coulton and Foo Fighters, so there should be a little something for everyone to enjoy!
