An Intro 07:44
Gotta kick it off, gotta kick it off right Gotta give ‘em a lil’ something for the middle of the night The riddles and syllables are symbols of plight And objectives are lessons that outlive the hype Wipe them tears ain’t no crocodiles here Been dealing with this shit for years and years I’m sick of all these victims overcrowding the system Stand up strong, yo, my people my peers Chorus: x4 We’re Evolucid, take note of the name Dynamic energy permeates the brain We’re Evolucid, straight slow the train Of thought and give props to pioneers of change

Chorus: Shining down on me, now I am where you are Light up my third eye, and carry me afar 1st Verse: I see them coming, going whether not it’s day or night So passive, they’re sleeping, somnambulist actions Do you think they ever wonder why? Complacencies’ eagerness to make you drive and fall in line Infinite wealth of love holds a darker side Can’t decide, better ask some other time, other time A seeker of peace, a reaper of grief Relentless the onslaught of hate and greed It thickens my skin and it stricken me weak In this land of martyrs armor is cheap And pain is vital, to glamorize survival To the ultimate goal, and the role of a rival A cynical inch, in a pivotal mile, huh Chorus: Shining down on me, now I am where you are Light up my third eye, and carry me afar 2nd Verse: There’s a cloud overhead, a tear in my eye It’s not for me but for the children of flies That leeched off its host ‘til it ceased to supply We all turned our backs when we needed to pry Except for our mother who aborted the lie Reported disturbance in the center of why Conception surrendered, to the lender of life We try to fight our nature and our evolution’s drive Pushing ourselves to free our hearts and minds Would we ever see our guided light? These populations drive us to flow with the ebb and tide Future could touch a much bleaker side Begin within and there are brighter skies, brighter skies I get down, I get low, I get deep So I ride along the hills ‘til they roll me to sleep Rock the swells, frozen heaps, of earth Sweet lullaby, a violin weeps Luminous, dictation, assuming this, creation I’m through with this, fixation Dictation, dictation, dictation Chorus: Shining down on me, now I am where you are Light up my third eye, and carry me afar

Horizon 04:35
Where you from J, and I don’t know what to say Home is with the heart I sliced it up along the way Left pieces with persons held partial to fillet And if it ever stales up I’ll spray Your fragrance on the fray Que Sera Sera, So Les Bon Temp Roulette Bon Voyage, be cool, Say La Vie, Namaste Hey, something about a shoulder just makes Me want to breakdown, the wheels have ceased Yet the world spins round, Sit and think of the ones I only loved from the waist down Necessities’ pest to which guilt is bound This race is over paced and exponentially vast Orbit increased to please affairs with the past I grasp onto a moment, I know it won’t last Held captive by memory a sensory flash I cling to my dream and I pray I don’t crash Re-mastered the tracks and now they’re slicker than wax Chorus: How’s your horizon? It’s huge and getting bigger I figure the more I fit in the score, I’ll get the sicker of pictures How has your life been? Simply amazing, phase after phase it’s an eternal sensation How do you groove? I’m a mover and a shaker, I prove to be the smoothest In incongruent layers Where did the sound go? Yo it’s always been around it breeds stress above the earth And breaks free under ground 2nd Verse: I soared past authority and spoke in poor form I forged the orders into a glorified board And lord I was born a rambling man I’m spending time while I’m gambling land Damn, this plan enslaves but it’s vaguely inviting I tried to get off the gas because my pilot’s enlightened But grease frightening wouldn’t go grease frightening And you can’t bear gear while hitchhiking or biking Now we’re back on the Dies, I smile at police As they pass because they pick apart every piece There’s a car full of hippies, all scratching their heads Misled in the past and they got itchy dreads Street cred gets a boost as they peace at the bus Go ahead rubberneck cock your face if you must Squares and blue hairs, choppers and trucks All making their moves through this river of rust Chorus: How’s your horizon? It’s huge and getting bigger I figure the more I fit in the score, I’ll get the sicker of pictures How has your life been? Simply amazing, phase after phase it’s an eternal sensation How do you groove? I’m a mover and a shaker, I prove to be the smoothest In incongruent layers Where did the sound go? Yo it’s always been around it breeds stress above the earth And breaks free under ground 3rd Verse: So I think I’ll shake the Richter, I think I’ll make it move Scale it down a notch and watch ya slip into the blues And the grays and the blacks of the night that’s day With no dawn and I’m gone, and I’m on my way I drive safe and slow mostly under the limit But I’m in bar to bar sales so I take what I’m given Home is with the heart I slice it up ‘cause I must This bus is too small to haul all of my love 4th Verse: Complacency, disrupts the path of purpose Fate they slaved so faithfully I’m gone now, I’ve gone down to say the least This arson’s pardoned all the sins I’ve harbored Save me please, from all this anti-climactic satirical static Phantom limb, has spread to the heart through the chest To the mind, to the rest of the man I’ve been He tried to plan for the wreck to stand and protect This fashioned skin, this inefficient depiction, traditional vision Salvation, defrosting comes at a cost And promises to burn you down Outro: It breeds stress above the earth and breaks free under ground It breeds stress above the earth and breaks free under ground It breeds stress above the earth and breaks free under ground It breeds stress above the earth and breaks free under ground

1st Verse: From tail to head, this snail is dead And it bled when you went against everything you said The child with a dream ain’t been seen in a while Went missing when the stars caught wind of denial Set flames to the conscious remains Gonna cook that bird ‘til it emerges in change Rearrange the feathers more resistant to rain Relentless on the souls that its chosen to claim This transformation, this mundane mutation Has molded a man that’s composed insane Numb to absurd pity, pleasure, and pain The same purities so deceptive and vain Chorus: Slow, so slow to leave the ground Burn, burn the phoenix down 2nd Verse: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust To the sky the drive, and to the ground the trust Talons and beaks yo they’re tougher than lore And they’re sharpened on the tombs of the casualties’ war Speak no more and forever hold your grief The quest for peace lies dying at your feet Callous and coals this smoldering meat At the mercy of the serpents with the venomous teeth Set fire to the vessel by way of the veins Slither away, deliver internal flames The giver’s of life, the sinner’s of slaves Will assume no debt on the conscious remains Freedom from self is an undiscovered wealth Baggage in tow, tagged, honed, and shelved The past is forgotten, and imagery melts It’s just fuel for the wings that propel this brick stealth Chorus: Slow, so slow to leave the ground Burn, burn the phoenix down

Ghostnotes 06:01
Chorus: Blood, sweat and tears Down through the years You’ve always been on my mind I have no fear My path is clear Ghostnotes appear Blood, sweat and tears Down through the years You’ve always been on my mind I have no fear My path is clear Ghostnotes appear 1st Verse: You’ve changed my mind throughout my life Spent trying to find our phrase in time I hear the calling, right as I’m falling Strengthens my pulse reminds me why My soul sound, shall disappear and reappear My soul sound, shall disappear and reappear Chorus: Blood, sweat and tears Down through the years You’ve always been on my mind I have no fear My path is clear Ghostnotes appear 2nd Verse: Caffeine and the fire, I’m high and I’m wired I fight at light speed to be the man I aspire I feel like a preacher, just pushing my peace Over web, or over road, or over flows and the beats This beast don’t sleep won’t incent defeat And after all of my honors my attempts are weak I dream of a day where my craft makes a livin’ But livin’ is given to us in form of a prism I tried to look forward but something was missing The light was held captive in angular vision I just want to put the music, back in musician But I’m an agent of books and I’m a mule to the mission Phone calls, e-mails, the hours of trail Make the masses aware in any way that I’m able Spit my worth like a drop to the sea I had to go through the storm just to perform in the drink Chorus: Blood, sweat and tears Down through the years You’ve always been on my mind I have no fear My path is clear Ghostnotes appear Blood, sweat and tears Down through the years You’ve always been on my mind I have no fear My path is clear Ghostnotes appear

Strange Ball 04:32
1st Verse: She’s smoking and she smokes I laugh cause I’m stoked Ride to the spruce and noose up the rope I cope with being lonely on the road with a joke But we can sit in this mist Until we lynch this ghost (Toast) To your stash I hear you’re mad at my appetite Point a finger at who’s acting right And get them braggin’ rights Satellites loom in alignment with my castle lights Please see these sequenced and pacified See I can’t be your man, cause I won’t call you enough And when I do I’ll never say the right type of stuff You’re calling it quits like you’re calling my bluff But I’m not one to grind my teeth when these times get tough Spanish and Irish had a French last name Vanished in silence, and he quietly came Claimed he was an artist, and he managed to gain Passively spittin’ on a mission gone strange Bridge: You are out of your mind (You’re out of your mind) Too messy in the dome so you left it behind, and You have lost your head (Lost Your Head) You left it in the past where you bury your dead Chorus: So strange we should be here Cause I’m so far away Bridge: You are out of your mind (You’re out of your mind) Too messy in the dome so you left it behind, and You have lost your head (Lost Your Head) You left it in the past where you bury your dead 2nd Verse: I’m rebellious like Elvis, zestfully guessing Where they’ll run me down next And milk me quicker than Nestle I’ll confess to the fact I reacted freshly Covered the spread and then left the nesting Sweat through my best and crept out the dream Back in my jeans, back on the scene Trash the smacky skins classy and clean And I promise I’ll return when this grass gets green Ignore the dirt, of short flingin’ Evolucid in reverse we got four swingin’ This happens all the time, this potion number nine Is poured stiff over rocks, and a box spring and I feel I’m over the shit, gotta focus the bit Get my dome out the clouds, and pound cake not sniz But I’m not fooling you, nobody is Just a slave to the cut like the wants of your wrist Bridge: (x2) You are out of your mind (You’re out of your mind) Too messy in the dome so you left it behind, and You have lost your head (Lost Your Head) You left it in the past where you bury your dead Chorus: So strange we should be here Cause I’m so far away

Free Music 06:08
1st Verse: Forgive me for my weakness, for I’m about to bitch An overwhelming smell of bullshit is making me sick These fucking clowns, live to chase the buck around Puppeteers here, steer people to lock down These streets might as well be a cell And our minds have been molded to a watery gel Somebody please tell me I’ve died and gone to hell This caliber of values can only mean we fell Tell tale, set sail, to sub-mediocrity, pop and derail We failed as creators to push our potential Dementia set in and spread exponential Chorus: Forgive me, I sound upset Forgive me, forgive me, forgive and forget Forgive me for coming off a little distressed Forgive me, I sound upset Forgive me, forgive me, forgive and forget Forgive me for coming off a little distressed If my composure is low that’s as good as it gets 2nd Verse: They’re pumping out the fake shit like nobodies business So I’m spitting the fat lines and walking the thinnest Forgive me I don’t mean to offend But friend this ain’t the worst half Should have heard the first draft The storm submerged me like a storm of words And drowned my composure I loath your Artist fatalities, slaughter house galleries Mimic the image, suck out the salary Unwrapping the present, is centuries deep So you rape and subdue it and you feed it to sheep How do you sleep? With your name in the ranks Your music’s a joke, but not a victimless prank Chorus: x2 Forgive me, I sound upset Forgive me, forgive me, forgive and forget Forgive me for coming off a little distressed Forgive me, I sound upset Forgive me, forgive me, forgive and forget Forgive me for coming off a little distressed If my composure is low that’s as good as it gets

Chorus: In twelve poor notes, I’ve placed my faith My breath forms clefs of treble and bass It vibrates like grace, feels holy and safe In a world full of hedonistic, pearly gates In twelve poor notes, I’ve placed my faith My breath forms clefs of treble and bass And vibrates, vibrates, vibrates, vibrates 1st Verse: I’ll roll my cigarettes in hurricane winds And I’ll smile such a greasy diabolical grin Because as long as my sins aren’t as thick as my skin I can deal with the demons that are dwelling within You lose some but son sometimes you win And spin fundamentals ‘til you stumble again In this dog eat dog eat pony eat crib They poach the hopefuls from under the bib Blind we crawl and try to recall Why we ever declined to make sense of it all Shop divinities, options of facilities Devotion the shoot that prolongs the fall All the way through the earth the faith we disperse Is seldom in gospel, Sunday at the church It’s what drives our lives, what possesses our minds Be it weed, be it wine, be it work or a skirt Bridge: x2 Down on your knees, nobodies an exception (We all show) Ranger danger, and assess the protection We the free choose appointed collection (The worlds we know) Suspended in flesh, and un-natural selection 2nd Verse: And man I’ve planned to lose and fail It took all that I am just to choose a trail To cruise this land in pursuit of a grail And trust the holiest of roles to control the sails Assume a tune, consume and prevail City to city where the deities hail Heretics spare no witness to bare As creation evolves amidst the thickest of air Manifest masterpiece, lease it and share And I swear by the craft that I’ll wrap it and care This mask I dare say is keeping me square On the rock that rounds all chaotic affairs Octaves promise the roots are strong The locks are deep but these keys are long Composition the vessel, we talk with God Where the hostages trembled ‘Til the block was thawed Bridge: x2 Down on your knees, nobodies an exception (We all show) Ranger danger, and assess the protection We the free choose appointed collection (The worlds we know) Suspended in flesh, and un-natural selection Chorus: x2 In twelve poor notes, I’ve placed my faith My breath forms clefs of treble and bass It vibrates like grace, feels holy and safe In a world full of hedonistic, pearly gates In twelve poor notes, I’ve placed my faith My breath forms clefs of treble and bass And vibrates, vibrates, vibrates, vibrates

I clowned around these one horse towns Where they feel remorse And they force things down And they forced feed speed To the morphine crowd To forge these deeds to The forming clouds I Shed a little ‘cause it felt real dry Then froze up ducts To get tough and get by These people need a light More than they could ever know But it’s thinning and it’s dimming And convincing me slow (OH!) I still trip with the siren sound I know that somewhere out there Someone’s life just flipped the Fuck around Gravity wins and we stand our ground ‘Til she stops to spin and we’re Outward Bound Remember the land where the songs Were the same It was a time in our lives that was just mundane We looked forward to the pain Like there will come soft rains Bouncing off windows looking out we’re cooking Never ever saw the flames There was nothing to gain in passion So we moseyed along in an anonymous fashion Now we’re here this spinal frontier Where fear itself is a legitimate fear We survived the rot where they dropped us off Lost is the plight of the pioneer Chorus: We must believe, and see, our dreams We must believe, and see, our dreams Chorus: We must believe, and see, our dreams We must believe, and see, our dreams
