Wanna come to my house and give me a ride? What is your mother's name? Is our mother the same?

Stuck in the basement With the alien Very impressive Clever impression Rebecca, Rebecca Could you let me go, please? Rebecca, Rebecca I only know your Human form Is this romancing? Am I romantic? Lovely figure She gets bigger Rebecca, Rebecca Would you let me know, please? Rebecca, Rebecca I want you to show your Human form You hide in plain sight Until the time is right Stay up all night Turn out the light Rebecca, Rebecca Could you let me go, please? Rebecca, Rebecca I only know your Human form

Human Figures in Plain Sight 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I'm hiding human figures In the shadows of the trees and the leaves I'm hiding human faces Right out in plain sight And it's alright and as it should be We can see what we're meant to see There's no need to live in fear We can hear what we're meant to hear See the words, feel them command Watch the lips move But only to make it clear we're on their side For they speak in a language we could never understand I'm hiding human figures In the shadows of the trees and the leaves I'm hiding human faces Right out in plain sight And at night you wouldn't notice It takes a wiseman to know this But wise men don't exist Any woman could tell you this At least some try, but fall to the side Turning into some autonomous life Under the observation of our overlord's watchful eye I'm hiding human figures In the shadows of the trees and the leaves I'm hiding human faces Right out in plain sight To fight would be certain death So hold on to your last breath Then put yourself to the test risking it all against the rest And fight for your life Grasping your knife And lodging it in your master's chest For he'd never think that he couldn't be the best I'm hiding human figures In the shadows of the trees and the leaves I'm hiding human faces Right out in plain sight

Brown eyes are just brown eyes Until you fall in love with a pair And blonde hair is just blonde hair Until it's everywhere You couldn't ever notice How could you have ever knew All the things you loved Until those things loved you Laughing is just laughing Until you've found some laughter to share And phrases are just phases Until you really care Oh no I never noticed Oh no I never knew All the things I loved

Mister man, what is your plan? What's in your hand behind your back? Cigarettes Hairy chest New York Mets And the Jets They're the best I detest All the rest From the West Mister man, what is your plan? What's in your hand behind your back? Porno mag Lotion on my hand That ain't sand It's a head in my bag It's a drag Workin' fast food man McDonald's is bland But hey, life ain't bad Mister man, what is your plan? What's in your hand behind your back? Testosterone Deep down low Little bone Hangin' low That's your ego But you don't know How it grows How much it shows

Grey Skies 03:23
lyrics
buy track
I can't help that I see grey skies All day long when the sun shines I don't want to see grey skies So I guess I'll close my eyes To speak at all is to hear my voice I just don't wanna make that choice Close the world off and I'll be fine Autopilot my mind to pass the time I wish it all could be over now I wish that I weren't around I can't help that I see grey skies All day long when the sun shines I don't want to see grey skies So I guess I'll close my eyes When I look outside my window All the clouds are passing so slow Seep inside and there I'll hide To escape the grey skies outside I wish the world would go away I wish I could find a happy day But then the grey skies turn to blue skies And I finally open my eyes I look around and see the world a brand new way Who knew the day can be this great But not everyday Every single day we have a choice We can fight and raise our voice Or we can see the lighter side We can look for the blue skies But some days just have to be grey That way the good ones can be great I can't help that I see grey skies All day long when the sun shines I don't want to see grey skies So I guess I'll close my eyes You can't always have blue skies All day long when the sun shines If you want to see blue skies Then you have to open your eyes

Mr. Manzer's Magic Pipe 03:58
lyrics

It's very chilly, it's brisk not cold I don't feel young I feel sorta old This garage is like a barrier Between reality and my mind My mind feels like a lake Today the waters are kind Pass the bags around the circle We're gonna fly tonight Get so high our faces turn purple We're flyin' high tonight The airs are full of dreams And radiowave laseer beams Our bodies feel like music And our thoughts their own song We'll be thinking' through the night Until the end of dawn Pass the bags around the circle We're gonna fly tonight Get so high our faces turn purple We're flyin' high tonight The fishy smell of salt and brine Sends it's scent straight down your spine No time to wait, no time to fight Just try and escape that fishes bite Mr. Manzer's magic pipe It never stops smokin' Put that bastard in his gills And he'll never stop tokin' Chromium fray on the wilder side Up in the hills tryna tan your hide Graycen Burns is the manager Of the one they call Manzer Mr. Manzer's magic pipe It never stops smokin' Put that bastard in his gills And he'll never stop tokin' The fire burns right through my lungs and my tongue Until they're white and ashy Get nasty I'm living my life So leave me alone I'm trying to be free With no space to roam I can be yours to keep Just let me know And if you want me to leave? Well, then I can go home If I only had a home

Pretty Little Kitty Cat 03:49

She's a pretty little kitty cat In the middle of night She's a pretty little kitty cat When she's bathing in the light Impressing Expressing She's as playful as a pussycat Quite a sight to see She is sitting like a statue Or a portrait of a queen Demanding Commanding Respect Near the silver lake on my moon Shooting stars are passing through Sunshine in the summertime The sun shines down on me One scratch just to be a tease A couple more and she's sayin' please Pretty little kitty cat I know ya want to get pet But I also know your little game ain't over yet She's a pretty little kitty cat In the middle of night She's a pretty little kitty cat When she's bathing in the light Impressing Expressing She's as playful as a pussycat Quite a sight to see She is sitting like a statue Or a portrait of a queen Demanding Commanding Respect

A Reflection of Reality 03:24
lyrics
buy track
You look inside your brain And there you see a mirror You'd think you're insane When you see the image clearer A reflection of your reality The other you comes nearer Wonder if it's really me What is it you really see? Who do you wanna be, A reflection of reality? The reality yours rejected It's temptation is taboo It's foreign yet connected Closely, somehow, to you A reflection of your reality Who can say which one is true? Wonder how can it be Who is it you really see? What it means to be me A reflection of reality The abyss only exists In the minds of imagineers At the end of your wits It's not at all how it appears A reflection of your reality Wasting all your years Wonder what it means to me Could the opposite really be A false morbid identity, A reflection of reality?

I'm sorry that I'm sorry all of the time I don't know what to do with myself Oh no, I'm losing control again Oh no, don't know who I am again Oh no, who were my friends again? Did some screw come loose? Or am I a caboose? Riding the back of the train It's tracks going straight to my brain Whenever I'm blue I'll say sorry to you I'm sorry that I'm sorry all of the time I don't know what to do with myself Oh no, at home in my room again Oh no, isolated and ashamed again Oh no, looks like I've been framed again I don't know what I was saying I don't know the words you're relaying I don't know why I am sorry I'm sorry that I'm sorry all of the time I don't know what to do with myself Did some screw come loose? Or am I a caboose? Riding the back of the train It's tracks leading straight to my brain Whenever I'm blue I'll say sorry to you I'm sorry that I'm sorry all of the time I don't know what to do with myself

Sachson Gold 03:32

So the story goes Or that's how it's told But nobody knows If the story is true I speak of Sachson Gold Rumor has it that he told Of a place underground Nothing escapes not even sound So the story goes Or that's how it's told But nobody knows If the story is true The rivers run down the caves Leading down to his place They say he welcomes guests But, only if they pass a test So the story goes Or that's how it's told But nobody knows If the story is true All of the money in the world down there Why would they need to care? Fixing our problems won't bring them profit So, they don't want to stop it So the story goes Or that's how it's told But nobody knows If the story is true

If you look at the lovely white flowers You can see the sun shining in the middle I'm not talking about anemones Not primroses, lilac Vincas or Lillies I'm talking about daisies When we go walking out in my garden You can pick a flower or a hundred But I don't grow heliotropes Not petunias, rosas Or peonies I only grow daisies You must know to never forget That your love is a flower you must tenderly care for And you must also never ever forget That someone you love is someone you're there for All I ever really want is you to go in the garden with me

People drive smart cars Use smart phones Eat smart food In their smart homes Smart is all that we trust But, does smart describe us? Billions raised Yet the minimum wage Stays the same It's all the rage Wall Street and Capitol Hill Trillions are building still I see trouble (oh no) Comin' round th' bend I know it'll catch us in the end Pedophiles in business In movies In politics and government They're anywhere you can vision Well, except of course, in prison The dragon sits on his pile of gold His legend won't be heard or told That's just how he wants it So you don't know he exists I see trouble (oh no) Comin' round th' bend I know it'll catch us in the end They feed us things we don't know Carcinogens let cancer grow With the best soldiers on their side The rest of us can die Like strangers Anonymous The danger's Ambiguous This is our government Who do they represent? I see trouble (oh no) Comin' round th' bend I know it'll catch us in the end I know it'll catch us in the end It will catch us in the end In the end

The others always tell us That we're not good enough Well we can prove them wrong We can get smart, and get strong So we wait, and we wait Then build strength, and build strength Stand up Flex your muscles Get strong Really show 'em Don't you let anybody Ever go and put you down The system that's in place Doesn't value the human race So we wait, and we wait Then build strength, and build strength Stand up Flex your muscles Get strong Really show 'em All the bullies and the liars They will get what they deserve All of the people will stand up We will get smart and get strong So we wait, and we wait And build strength Stand up Flex your muscles Get strong Really show 'em

One 02:49
lyrics

One I believe we're all one Look how far we have come Can't you agree we're one? Time Is growing like a vine But you don't need to mind The false concept of time Brahman The begging and the end Of everything and nothing Thought Endless loops of thought Don't ever get caught Drowning yourself in thought Life Seems like endless strife But if you just think right You'll seamlessly flow with life Brahman The begging and the end Of everything and nothing Life Seems like endless strife But if you'd put down that knife And see in you and me there is life One I believe we're all one Underneath our golden sun Can't you see we're all one?

about

A return to form, Oliver Scot Draper's psychedelic genre-blending expansion brings his catalogues most honest installation to date. It's a trip through a wide array of emotions and bizarre subject matter, from alien seduction to critiques on the billionaire elites. With material from over 3 years of recording, the album was a project kept under the table so time could be spent focusing on the details; A breakaway from previous more impulsive and fast paced/produced efforts. The result is a thought out piece with vague concepts that can be easily assumed yet up to interpretation, but all in all is just a fun and eclectic work of music.
