dropping and slowing the friction is growing I'm stuck on the sofa tonight Feeling cemented in need of momentum like solo in carbonite overreaction no interaction laws of inertia say "a body in motion stays in motion" laws of inertia say "a body at rest will stay at rest" inertia, inertia, inertia external forces exterior sources believe that the science is right lack motivation in need of vacation I'm stuck on the sofa tonight no interaction laws of inertia say "a body in motion stays in motion" laws of inertia say "a body at rest will stay at rest" inertia inertia inertia inertia I'm stuck on the sofa tonight I'm stuck on the sofa tonight I'm stuck on the sofa tonightnightnight I'm stuck on the sofa tonight sir isaac newton says "a body in motion stays in motion" sir isaac newton says "a body at rest will stay at rest" Inertia inertia inertia inertia

blasting the lights in your eyes and the walls falling topple down the circus is leaving town without a clown would you ride a tiger? would you kiss a snake? would you bite the apple? what will that awake? would you bite the apple? what will that awaken? they're crawling back into their holes crawling back onto the dark alone the beast has no head when the witch is dead would you ride a tiger? would you kiss a snake? would you bite the apple? what would that awaken? what would that awaken? we will we will we will we will we will believe in the signs we will believe that the science is right the circus is leaving town without a clown would you ride a tiger? would you kiss a snake? would you bite the apple? what would that awaken? when you bite the apple what will that awaken?

Another Plane 02:53

I'm on a jet stream I'm on a jet plane I'm on another plane In another mind I'm drowning in a sea of time (I see the hours going by so fast) I'm drowning in a sea of time (what would you do if you knew you could keep em?) I'm on a jet stream I'm on a jet plane I'm on another plane In another mind I wanna jump bail I wanna jump tracks I wanna jump to another reality I'm drowning in a sea of time (I see the hours going by so fast) I'm drowning in a sea of time (what would you do if you knew you could keep em?) Seems like we can't evolve Stuck in the physical Seems like we can't evolve Stuck in the physical I'm running over out of time I'm running over out of time I'm running over out of time I'm running over out of time

All These Little Scraps Of Paper 04:11
lyrics

It was real It really happened I found a little memento just look at all these little scraps of paper It's the proof I found a little memento Make a bet cuz you got the skills the calling the touch uncanny feel every single dollar down becomes a dollar up crooked paths other junctions enumerating all your functions dig the ditch if it scratches up some scratch it was real it wasn't just a dream i found a little memento just look at all the cards and letters it's the proof I'm flying in a UFO catch a ride on an underlay she's three to one o'er night and five times that at post with skills to boast catches speed on the turn and burns the jockey sighs a sigh there will be no more encouragement today just hay remember back at hollywood park.....

remember remember forget forget forget forget forget forget how do you sleep at night? fright might bite your head off thats not right tonight do you see any light? i walk out at night and as many stars as there are theres just as many scars and there's a scar that still remains when the scabs come off in the rain and the scars will still remain when the scabs come off in the rain it's a reminder of your pain it's a reminder of your pain your pain your pain

about

This release is the second result of a project wherein songs are created in a blind round robin collaborative fashion.
Mostly recorded Oct 6 - Nov 15 2020
Thank you again to my friends for participating in this idea with me.

During week 1, each participant created some music that would provide some sort of basic track for a song.

During week 2 these beginnings of 6 new songs would change hands, and each of the participants would overdub new parts onto a track they had never heard before.

During weeks 3 - 6 this process continued until each of the 6 contributors had chance to add music to each of the 6 songs. During the process they had no prior knowledge of the song they were receiving, nor any knowledge of what would happen after they passed it on.

At the end of 6 weeks the song they had begun in the first week came back to them to create a final edit and mix, in some cases adding final parts to "finish them off".
