Shift The Paradigm
03:19

Clancy scratching ferociously at the door
It's time to start our day and go lay in the yard
Sunbaths and a fresh crispness in the air
Sometimes wonder how I got here
Across the threshold
Learn to let go
Into the unknown
Overcome your shadow
Shift the paradigm
Unlearn the bullshit
You gotta purge it
The investment's worth it
Shift the paradigm
I ate a mushroom one November day in New York
I gave my head a rest so I could let my heart work
I felt my truest self emerging
Just standing there at the doorway
Divested myself of the most logical fears
I decided to let my gut take it from here
Short-sighted suicide's no way out
Just kill the version of you that sucks

My mind's so powerful
Yet also hackable
It's hard to find
Truth and peace of mind
Go to work, never leave
Convinced myself this is me
I am my job
There's nothing more to life
Eventually the sands of time
Crust to your eyes and turn to grime
It's hard to change
A new world looks so strange
Visions I didn't think I could see
Birds and fish dancing before me
I choreographed Gorecki's third symphony
Interdimensional creativity
I felt my soul emerge from corporate scourge
Time's come to break free
I laughed at my guide, he asked me why
Said time's come to believe in me

Sidetracked
04:36
|
|||
I keep my focus to find myself
Sidetracked
Wonder if my sidetrack is my soul's focus
Is my sidetrack my soul focus?
Just keep a focus
Keep focus
Keep focus
Keep focus
Keep focus
My soul focus
Keep focus
Keep focus
Keep focus
Keep focus
My soul's focused
I keep my focus to find myself
Yeah I'm sidetracked
Just trust your sidetrack
And fuck your Adderall
Can't medicate the soul

Hiding Under Feeling New
03:41
|
|||
Move to the desert to start anew
Shake things up, see what remains true
You get just what you bargain for
Counterbalances within risk and reward
Subconscious vultures circle around
As you hesitate to step into new ground
No matter what I do
My old self is hiding under feeling new
Look to my higher self to power through
Still my old self is hiding
Hiding under feeling new
One lesson we must quickly learn
Where there is patience only love can emerge
The lies you tell yourself are showing you
The honest version that sees right through
Grow out of your trauma response
See your future emerging on all fronts
Life just goes in circles
It will drive you crazy
Unless you find your calm
Center in that Venn diagram

Gasoline Suit
03:28
|
|||
Walking through hell in your gasoline suit
Like Pete Rose would do
To keep playing baseball
You think you know what you want
But you ain't got a clue
No choice but to huff the fumes
From your gasoline suit
Can't think clear or tell what's true
You ain't got a clue
Walking through hell in your gasoline suit
Like Pete Rose would do
To keep playing baseball
You think you know who you are
But you ain't got a clue
Light up, light up
My gasoline suit

Lean Into 32
03:50
|
|||
Never thought I'd live to see the day
That I could love myself enough to act my age
Buckle clicks on my sweet fanny pack
I got all I need right here, never turning back
Lean into 32!
Not a day goes by
Where I don't think
How lucky am I?
Grandpa Leo instilled power in me
I want to love and build
Prosperity

Mah' Face!!?
01:47
|
|||
My face is falling off my head
Soon see what it's like to look dead
My face is falling off
Every time I cough
My face is falling off my head
Drug facts active ingredients
Homosalate 10 percent
Meradimate, octinoxate
Octocrylene 2 percent
Zinc oxide 6.3 percent
Look in the mirror see my skin glow
Blink once now I look 200 years old
Flesh falling off the bone
Lo and behold I die alone
My face is falling off my dome

Appreciate
03:26
|

I felt this notion
I've seen in motion
All my life
I do aspire
Be a mystic wiseman
When my age is ripe
What you appreciate
Appreciates
Love enough to
See it through my eyes
Love and imagination
Are inspiration
Boomerang to me
Watching others flourish
Soul is nourished
Contentment's key
What you appreciate
Appreciates
I am a vessel of
Tangential love
Are crystal clear signs
Too great a coincidence
For you to accept
As heavenly guidance
If physical reality
Is just an illusion in space and time
Then just how illusory
Is clarity in the mind
I've put in motion
Embodied notions
Learned through life
I do emerge
A music wiseman
From time to time
What you appreciate
Appreciates
I am a vessel of
Tangential love
Love enough to
See it through my eyes

The Stronger I Am
04:15
|
|||
Yeah I feel I let you down
Got in my own way again
Overthinking takes precedent
Over joy of the present
Just breathe in deeply
Show gratitude when and where you can
Who cares if it's kinda corny
Ain't nothing out there is pure anyway
Yet I fear I let you down
I've grown tired of problem solving
Ain't shit in the world you can control
Independence is my god calling
But it's hard to find all on your own
Go get yourself a puppy
They reflect back to you who you can be
I know I wanna see her thrive
Symbiosis makes it worthwhile to be alive
All those judgements I've had of myself
Turns out, they're fuckin' bullshit
I can't help but laugh out loud now
Perspective is everything
I regret nothing of my past
It shaped me into who I am at last
Can't say I really mind fucking up
The more I learn and withstand
The stronger I am

Feeling Good
03:13
|

What is good truly
To my soul
I feel a buzzing
In my solar plexus
On a constant basis
I've trancended
I drink my coffee
Breathe in the desert flower
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
It feels surreal
I'm feeling good
My heart has healed
I have grown out of
Petty inundations
Fed back by media
Mindnumbing conversations
I have looked inward
For long enough now
Found my source of power
Time to put it out there
I'm feeling good
I get a wrench thrown
Into my plans
But I've seen the pattern
A hundred thousand times now
So I can't get angry
My demons have checked out
Life flows in waves
Just try to catch the come-up
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good

Tuned into a frequency
