An Intro

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

Conscious Remains
05:45
|
|||
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

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

Assess The Protection
06:30
|
|||
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

Urban Pioneer
09:58
|

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
