Float 08:39
Comes a cool breeze off a sun-kissed moonbeam at the meeting of two oceans No one’s truly forgot who’s ruling that underlying motion Concentrate with me as we steep our tea in the passing of the seasons Let us integrate things we appreciate and not dwell upon the reasons Over-analyze things you think you know but you’ll decide that holding on is worse than letting go If you revise the things you think you’ll come to realize acceptance is the only way to grow Buoyant bodies awake drifting foggy finally free to float Intelligence tethered light as a feather conscious of the flow Necessity is key and we are the link to consonant cohesion Let us integrate things we appreciate and not dwell upon the reasons Over-analyze things you think you know but you’ll decide that holding on is worse than letting go If you revise the things you think you’ll come to realize acceptance is the only way to grow

Friction 04:54
There’s a dark, cold place in the spaces between Need to warm it up with some of your close proximity The heat’s in the beat so let’s switch up our positions Get off your seat, come taste the treat of man’s oldest tradition ‘Cuz the still and cold fade with the motion of your soles I want you to move, but that’s a given I guess I always give myself away I need you to come give me your rhythm and the friction of your feet ignites the way Baby let your surface slide and watch the sparks start to fly kindling, tinder, turn to cinder with your stimulating sleight I see the spark in your eyes you’re the match to my ambition fit to strike a light up right so let this key find your ignition ‘Cuz the still and cold fade with the motion of your soles I want you to move, but that’s a given I guess I always give myself away I need you to come give me your rhythm and the friction of your feet ignites the way

Two Worlds 06:17
Safely inside my calm sequestered mind I find my peace But lately pinstriped lines shine cascading shadows through my dreams Ringing dissonant caprice faintly singing echoes of distant cries Two Worlds one time Two Worlds one mind Tranquil surface lies guiding spectral sighs through cryptic seas Lucid vision resounds overtones of light refracting sound Roiling waves reside timeless secret hides in silent streams Two Worlds one time Two Worlds one mind

Soup 04:01
When I first envisioned life beyond the deep it began with a slow crawl and climbed into a creep along the long ascension I became anew no longer pretending bout what I had to do As the darkness faded colors turned to light No longer a caveman I developed sight The water’s getting warmer think it’s time I flew the coup I know things are changing rising from the soup Rising from the soup I know things are changing it’s time I flew the coup Rising from the soup

Garden 07:45
The sun shines smiling upon Displace in this space with these faces erasing all traces of sadness No animosity, just happiness, gladness it’s madness how this family came to be You see, Displace planted the seeds; but y’all provide the love and nourishment! With that essential ingredient, we’re exponentially flourishing! Servicing communities nationwide Asheville, Boulder, NOLA, Tampa, That's right Expanding minds, collecting consciousness gaining confidence and prominence to conquer the continents Displace: the name is synonymous with face-melting solos and the blessings of Providence a consequence of constant support and bottomless love the listeners of our music reflect that which I speak of Everything we’ve grown from flower to root is a labor of love and you are the fruit Gotta mind your harvest shine on in its glow Gotta find your part and guide your garden to grow Gotta walk in wonder wander with the flow Just be mindful of the Pry of the undertow The hardest part of being an artist is starting a garden and constantly questioning the wisdom to embark on it Never quite certain Of the quality of the harvest self-doubt sparks disheartening self-arguments The mantis preys On this self contention To rise up from the soup Is an admirable ascension Float above the fog In enlightened unknown To a place of peace That'll heighten your home But see to it that the light Doesn't burn you blind if poise becomes pride It can poison your mind Balance can be found where these beams align Like the gravity of gratitude Inspiring the tides We live in these two worlds Oscillating restlessly Perpetual perplexion An accidental necessity As Destiny desperately declines to decide Which side of the line Your garden resides Doubt will find you If you stay there Indecision Mantis preys there Gotta mind your harvest shine on in its glow Gotta find your part and guide your garden to grow Gotta walk in wonder wander with the flow Just be mindful of the Pry of the undertow

Mantis 07:53
Baby I wanna lay you down You’re crazy but I can’t stop now That manic disguise I wanna fight this feeling You wanna bite my green wings Cannibal eyes fertile, but deceiving BABY PLEASE DON’T EAT ME! Another time, another day Another chance to feel this way Anyhow, oh any way I’ll disregard the things I need Forget the things that I believe Right now, oh anyhow Praying mantis gonna take my chances saw her teeth but Imma do it anyway Praying mantis come and get your answers shoulda run but I ain’t gonna get away Oh I would like to take a taste! Lady! I’m hungry for your sound Maybe that’s how Icarus went down Those lies tantalize I know it’s just a tease Too sharp to call naive Still I fly toward your light I know I can’t believe you but parts of me just need you for Another time, another day Another chance to feel this way Anyhow, oh any way I’ll disregard the things I need Forget the things that I believe Right now, oh anyhow Praying mantis gonna take my chances saw her teeth but Imma do it anyway Praying mantis come and get your answers shoulda run but I ain’t gonna get away

The admiral ascends above the clouds Escaping from his fears below The freedom of the sky begins to shroud what occupied his mind before War’s what matters to him now the flight out to the northern shore with confidence, he conquers the unknown old Archibald, brave to the core The carousel of spinning props propel the salty dog above the sea Unphased amidst the threat of death, alone, He’s used to being lonely The sky’s the only place he’s ever felt at home His purpose strong, his path his own The admiral, an object of the war, may never reach the northern shore…. He takes the final flight he won’t return after tonight the plane is gone, the engine stalled Goodbye, goodbye, to Archibald
