Press

"The difference is about an atmosphere which grows on Afear .. the originally simple track of every instrument becomes complicated to split in a moment and find its own way cleaned up once again."

"This fight amongst the vocals, guitars, bass and beats create an original and well composed mixture."

"The songs .. touch some other mind spots .. kind of schizophrenic aspects but there's a genius in schizophrenia. - Fabryka Industrial Rock

Lyrics

1. Aabalsamifera Flaw


Resurfacing / Old me / Shards of half hearted motives / Rediscovered / Now a leaky faucet of non commitment / Once ago the water set full blast / Ice cold / Peace of mind / Without a drip / Just a thought away

Shards of a broken man / Gathered together / Melted down / Refined and born new / Pure in heart, a whole / With integrity / Lies, facades, roles, failures, charades / Erased / Only looking glass reflections / Of present truth

Now or never / Never ever maybe, sometime or sure / Sure as it / The age old wit / Will bring to now / A careless laugh / A heartfelt flutter / Alive in spontaneous bursts / Of coincidental humor

Lies, facades, roles / Shards of a broken man / Melted down, full blast, ice cold / Peace of mind without a drip / Just a thought away

Mountains stand apart / So steal the sea

Now or never / Forever free

2. Aarons Rod


Barest / With the clothing / The enlightened one / Shoulders / Nothing but a ki flow / Foot past / In the sand another printed foot / Foot slow / Mindful of the wind and berries / Ascending / The desert humpback mountain half / Hot rocks / It is only nine thirty / Sit down admiring the cacti / Stay here pondering the palm trees

Romance / Waiting for / Rah

Romance memories / Black eyes witnessing the cover / Kiss the dragon flies / Humping for the link in / Memories outside / Waiting for the bliss sky / Cover salivating / Praying that the link in

Blissful / Sun is baking / Cover, pull away from face / Kiss the moon completing one / Link in snail shell world / Memories of the pin pricked sky / Smoldering / Sand spinning through the vortex / Warm lips continuing poise / Soft down / No trail for the fresh

Waiting for Rah / Amon Rah

3. Abaddon Threads


You were the / Embodiment / Of what was / Real / I am / Lost / Without you / My fear vies / Rights to decree / Freedom / From your / Comfortability / And I am lost

Circling / Self mazes / Questioning / Your authority / Over my uncomfort / My growth / My yearning / For life / Existential / Experiencing / You and me / Our physical link / Has torn at me / And begged me / To drop / Sink my blanket / Watch it fade / Torn and dropping / Drop

Slowly / Pieces of myself / I find, I had lost / In self denial / I rise / Unperfected / Shivering / With eyes of an infant / Pure in focus

4. Absinthium Flow Ring


Happy hour is your sucking thumb / Watch the world it fades / Around your spark / Your god is in the toilet singing / Chants of deeds done on a ship shore / For sure we see you as a stow away / Herald seeking solace in the foliage / Jumping jacks up high on headlands / In the tree sap pouring / More is less than necessary / In the universe that lies outside / Your monkey cage / Charming / In the tree I see a little woman / Loving her attempts to / Find me in accordance / With the busted negativity policing / Driveways are for yelling / I think that I will stay here

Killers in the wings of people / In their cages breaking bars / Is hard to imagine when you sleep

Flower of unfoldment / Every mind is one mind

Taking leaves to bed with / All of wholesome holes hey / You could be the one that / Marks the page a strong way

My life is a splinter dug inside / Your mind deep holy beggars / Far from the truth inside them

Making love to new sun existential / Outright running blades before guns / Bullets on the night side

Fight, monkey, fight / Fight your way to the top / Seek, something inside your spirit

5. Acannabinum Unfold


I am up in the tree / Can you hear me?

Flower of unfoldment / Every mind is one mind

Seek, monkey / Seek

6. Accession Budding


Dropping / Vines and fruit from the top / Wearing sunglasses inside

7. Acetylene in Matryoshka


Of course / It is all a lie / What they told you / Listen to the clear / Path is not the broad one / Expected of you / Light your way / With the chamber inside / It is a cave / It is outside / It is a wall turned / Inside out

Pyros help me light your box / Guard the wind / Other hand like an arrow / Pierce the fold within

Help me burn the box / Russian dolls off the blocks

You are that fills / Need in my reality / Fingers run through the mane / Brush away all my pain / In my dreams I forget / In my dreams I forgot / A tiny golden book / My fragile burning box / This is my execution / This is my rebirth

Step outside / The role you have come to know as life / Ask yourself why

8. Aelimifera Stacking


Bullets / Step outside / Ask yourself why / Love low

9. Aepypterus Red H


Yes / The little red h / Showed up and shot the horse / And no one cried / Because that day evil died

Valhalla / I am coming

We are the ones that / Earned the dough / Earned the right to / Feed our

You take what is mine / While I am hypnotized

10. Aleatory Ode


Stuck in static / Something is wrong / Take an ice pick / To your liquid frozen / Master is out heating / Brittle bones up / Slavery still exists today / Come on / My bomb is on your shelf / It is a combination of / East and west / It is a job / Look up, the rut surrounds you / Slaves endlessly / Punching in

I am a man / You are a woman / In America we are all mutts / We laugh and drink / Because we know it is monday soon / Forget we are all mutts / There has got to be / Something higher / Above the rut

Bust out

Our boss has / Our balls hooked / On a line / Weighted by a dollar bill / It does not matter whether / Black or white / We are all enslaved by / Almighty greenback

To all my animals / In the jungle / If you want to be wealthy / Read a book / If you want to be happy / Crystalize dreams

11. Alyrata Let Go


Let go / Deeper now

Lakes hold secrets / Gold came from rivers / Dull knife / Sharpen yourself / Here is a whet stone / Repeat let go, deeper now / Mantra / Socket of the soul / Plug out for a time

Choose to / Let go of your name / And all the events of this life / Choose to / Let go of expectation / Failure and success

12. Anomie Deeper Now


Fly eye / I fly / Life / I

Cut the nets / Of conscious thought / Deeper / In the well of mind / Leave your bucket / Way behind

Honest questions asked / With hand raised / Got me kicked out of my high school youth group / Glad I am for that day / The beginning of my disillusionment / Caused me to seek for myself the truth / The rocks to lift my winged feet / Now I see clearly reality as it is / Not as I want it to be / And all along this road / I see milestones of great minds / That have gone before me / And question the great spirit I do / For wisdom to surpass

13. Aphasia Leaf


I am like a leaf! / Floating on / The winds of one / Spirit wide / Caught the flow / Continuum ride / Pulled by / The Source

Now I cast my visions / In the mirror pond / Paint the ways in / Which I feel / The flow pulling / Hear the sounds / At the bottom of the sea / Stroke a mural / Of the me / I can be

14. Apostasy Maestro


Etched groove / Sound of a record sitting / Impressed maverick / Painted rock walls of my cave / With twenty first century doormat / Please wipe your soul / And remove your patterns / Standing is easier than moving

Socked / There has got to be more above the edges / Enter styles, aural originality / Confidence brim / Natural charisma, a body of fire / Lines erased / Thinner splashing on my rock wall / And spilling over you

Graybeard spins / Night ink dripping / Covering bodies coveting / The orange illuminate / Accept the call of the coyote / Thump heart thump / Walking stick tap, tap / Pass a piece / Rock flakes clinging to hand / Flaming wood surrounded beings by / Smooth face rapt / All ways chews lonely roads for breakfast / Unshackle, morph, get bigger shoes

Rage against the trend / Stop, quiet before the mighty habit / Silence, rewind the ball, scrub off eyes

Mark my words / I will empty my mind of strip malls / Torn jeans, twenty two inch rims / Divorces, suburbs, distant emotions / I am the hero win the war / Against consumption / I will recite words to myself, intimate / I will unlock my charisma / I will unleash my confidence / I will rein state my vision

Inside, deep in the well of mind / Stored in the back, way in the back / So far inside / Some magic exists in these chambers / There is a light, a contentment / A greater purpose knocking on my heart / It is what keeps the beat

So close up windows, shutter / Tornado is coming / Hurricane Me / Tear my life apart / Destroy every physical possession / Let me forget it all / Sever me from the past / Empty my mind / Reset, like a child / No prejudice, courageous, bold / Master of One

Greatness wrapped in bacon / Follow the tune of this piper / Let the eyes of the tele vision / Close wink / Turn on the stars / Dilute city light / Darkness reigns over confusion / Gradually clear / Day by day more open / Connecting with others / ... Really connecting! / Laughter springing from dry lips / Emotions welling from a dry heart / Stake driven in the desert / Water burbling, blub, blub / If ever there is a use for the word more / Here, now over dust / With our connection

Lips, heart

Shards of a globe reassembled / Unity seemed so scarce / You shall never see me act like a monkey / Pissing in the piss spot / Dropping rinds and fruit from the top / Wearing sunglasses inside / Erecting a fence around my plot / Drawing invisibly around my country

15. Axiom Oblivion


Flea riding elephant / Divorce fad fanatic / Limit observer / Slow death taster / Time abuser / Spirit ignorer / Hater of simple / Hoverer seeking land / Swimmer wanting to stand / Dreamer never waking, walking / Side stepper of canyons / Maker of cannons / Greeter when sad / Justifier, odorless / Glad seemer when mad / Imitator, prideless / Universal truth ignoramus / Intender, spineless / Johnny in the plain gus / Dross collector / Fame infector / Mother nature / Has a disrespectful child / Sorry excuse for wet or wild

Inter mission

Lakes hold secrets / Gold came from rivers

Dull knife / Sharpen yourself / Here is a whet stone / Repeat let go / Deeper now / Mantra / Socket of the soul / Plug out for a time

Space out again / And you might stick that way / Heck, I would stick you on a shelf / Leave you standing pretty / For the neighbors / Smack the rock like water / Carve our sound deeper into the etches / Just sit and wait for death / Wait to be taken to the next level / Gotta plug another quarter

Death and fear are so easily overcome / Chooser for another life

Have you called the crow to your window? / Have you allowed tax against your will? / Have you copied a tattoo? / Has your heart been wrenched? / Has your face lines of time wasted? / How many times have you cried uncle? / Have others spat in your shadow? / Have currencies cracked? / Their whips across your back?

See.... the key exists / Buried under a flat rock / Where currents current trout / Flow and flux / Listen to my subtext / And outrights / Favor wisdom over experience / For the reaper reaps / Quicker than tea steeps / And lovers love is a feat complete

Might is still right / Just like it has always been / Weights, pain, stress / Extremes exist for developing strength

What if there is? / Another dimension to your three? / Is time in your quiver of dimensions? / Is luck? / Can you forge luck?

What does it mean to be raped? / What is the purpose of a pirate? / Can you balance on one toe long enough? / Tell me, Jaded... What are you best at? / Can you flip? / Twist your body in joyous distortions? / Can a single rope hold you? / Mightiest of the might of might? / In every death there is life borne

They are all wrong / The ones who said life is a circle / Untrue / Life is a spiral / Out or in / Your answer speaks sounding a populace

Hell influenced me / And thankful I am for its seed / Killers, we should all give thanks for / See my words float into space / Hear the snap / As these thoughts convert to energy / Feel our motives take substance / And you will see / That right is wrong to the devil / And right is wrong to the masses / The monkeys / Madness / Lost for lack of

Mark well the language of the weak / And stoke the one inside you / Who loses sanity / And forsakes the trend / Embraces alacrity / Sucks nets for pockets of personality / A dubious endeavor

This is how we go / One day, one say, far / And whispers in the village... / Fear and loathing in Villageville / Father, mother, sister, brother / Stand to test mettle / And meddle with weakness / Expound strength / And off the extra goes / And lighter one can swim / Through particles of anything / And out and onward and outward / This section of the spiral goes / And fossils swing through thickets / And muscles bend to make to make / So one goes / Beyond towers / Beyond pain / And through the thickest / The heart of oneself / Oneself the jungle / Jungle the hider / Hider of chambers / Chambers of destruction / Destruction construction / Destruct construct / Destruct construct construct

You are here! / Possibility stems from impossibilities / Enraged, then slain

Green can mean many things / Greed, weed, money, newbie / Plug another seventy five cents / And the head will speak again

Strife begets / So does love / Become like sand / Talk of friendship, entertain your self / Master nothing in a blaze of something / For worth welling from value / Welling from pain / Welling from impressions / Welling from hope breeds fear / Trust me / Joke all, Garret in France / Maestro of Oblivion / Lord of Time / Warper between Worlds

Look to the source / Your personal why / And discover the impetus / For these babbles

Something steals over / Trees over the ridge when sitting / Pondering in the heat I speak / Morsels, limbs, urine is drinkable / Diluted at first / See anything really is possible / Plausible ideals scream / You and I are one at the knee / Freely I claim this / Prove this from the super conscious / One by one / Yummy dried corn cakes crumble

Twenty six disillusionments click / And blend again hope and energy twixt

Here I say / And stand / Believing / Coursing through veins / Power and blood / Kings and paupers / Holding dominion over reality / Miles from London / And ages from the future / Ms. Taking not the past / Eating enough / Letting the flame touch not the bud / And burning it still / Current moment endless always

So softly she speaks / Like water at first, then rain / Pattering on your doorstep / On which I would spit / Like a nine year old camel / Back riding hump / More is less necessary in times like / Sex

You think I am a man / A man I am / Standing on the crown of a giant / Standing on tall temples / Standing on empires buried / Standing on faith / Standing on actions wrought / At a price / Bought

So gradual is true change / Burning greed in the heart of a star / Climbing over low fenced self esteem / And all the trappings of American life / That fortune favors is fable / Misguided guises of court / Making laws meant to be broken / Take this token and resume play / Turning the wheel of another life / Like Lucifer mutinous

So readily dismember / The secrets I told you daughter, son / This message / Will not self destruct in five seconds / For no thing do you ever forget / Way the back store / Sells freely these secrets / And the chamber is really a cavern / Is really outdoors

There was never such a thing as indoors / And that links all dualities / And there your fingers grip dirt / And roots like the tread of / Your footprint grips rock / And fallacies all erode / At the foot of the hill above the rut / Holding / The rise of the sun

16. Ayrie Inside Out


Holding / The rise / The rise of the sun
