Now, the sighs of the moon Shining, steaming lagoon A quarter untunes Beside every life coming soon The birth won’t be removed Lightly nurtured the source With no support of remorse Deep beside where we find What once was stirring inside Through cities of cancer In venom to Mother Old Man laying waste in our slumber Awake to the Other Through fire below Our mantle is hollow We could be undressed But we’re still obsessed With the mess Enticed dreamer Reach for freedom Unearth what we renew (Rebirth, reverse, undo) In search for our place Before we get razed Bearing in mind how no one stays We’re wandering better Histories in the gutter Seduced to feel safe inside slander Invested in honor As soon as you know Your mantle is swallowed Useful Boddha sits ‘round the womb of Death In the shallow, sheds To bud all alone He finds a way Coursin’ through my veins, I fear tomorrow’s gonna come And through the end of all of this There still sits someone It’s frightening trying to conceive What that shell might consist of, but You know there ain’t no way out of it Unless you decide to turn your back and run (But what ya gonna run from?) Up ahead, we’ll mend again While thought spirit blends The energy inside harnessed heals any special friend Whoever’s in your life, they will alight, And then go out again So, look upon me as family And never will we disrespect the Zen (No, no… it’s peace and love, my friend… yeah…) Tempted victor Reach for freedom Selfish dreamer Sleeping kingdom Gracious dragon spits Winds of bated breath When the sorrow hits And all the life he signs away A fit of greed, we plead, so often in need However conscious consciousness In drift to concede Consider the possibilities If you care to last proceed And finally when you’re alone Take off the cap and carry out the deed (just take it off) Revel in impermanence, tomorrow do the same Fight the urge to fill lifetimes with shame I don’t know why I’ve settled on this plane But finally, when you’re untamed (engaged) Shake off the dust if you care to last remain (We seize the chains of the lanes… of our love) (Loosen the shrines in the lanes of our love) Me, I’m tryin’ around it It takes seed, and borrows from the cabinet In which it grows, and sows, in silence Over modes of nodes Our woes Me… I’m tryin’ around it It takes seed And borrows from the cabinet In which it grows

Shinin’ like all this come before me Still I stand here when I have nothing Break through the pride to still this one need To try It may be this isn’t what I wanted Baby, this wasn’t what I thought it would be Ripped in with thorns to only cut me Inside Whenever you’d want it, it’d be there When never you soften on the stare The love for you never left the air Too high Wasn’t your mother gonna call me What was it she wanted by the police? So many sense could only cost me My mind However you wanted to be there Hands become bands, hearts a-snare Treads on the water bed to tear Loose ties And maybe this wasn’t what I wanted Baby, you wasn’t what I thought you would be Lifted with salts, for every hope be Refined Never again with all this talkin’ See me again, but not harmoniously What to be gained? a new boy stalkin’ And sighin’

Fishin' With Frog 03:26
lyrics

Now wasn’t I purer blood, Adonai? Tame where it stood But bring in close, just hope for good Her motor on; ride out, right on Her leapin’ t’wall to wall The call seems so inviting, but no one’s able to get exciting A lack What you gonna... Tie ‘em to the train tracks Her hair to the burnin' haystack When the team reached the cave, it erupted in disgust and disarray The time to walk through the flame Why now...... why now Claimed she’d start to watermark, she made another stitch Asked her for the number, she flopped around like a fish She wore her... Claimed that she was married, she got off without a hitch She wore her open mouth like a miter While the frogs all crawled out and tied her to the tracks I’m not comin' back From this I’m not comin' back So you just keep on goin' ‘til it’s over And I do believe that is soon But there’s nothin’ You can do

Mission grieves To be blunt Run and gun One and done All I was Lie in wait My new blood Wide awake This fading Sense repaid Past the dark Dark sensor made Hope and wait But the trial's here Tabled tales of fear, blind Tarry or decay will take its place Make the mark Simpler sin Praising under Influence Hope and wait But your end is near Take your wings, my dear Fly Your eagle His bride Across the sky

Well Fared 03:42
lyrics

Seems that you arrive Blessed star, managed the surviving Please be calm and stay Without delay lay within these wings Forsake your kings From the wreckage, it’s seen: the vestige Stripped to the wire Hail from the fire, in the form in the fire Burden snuck under the night as your tired dried eyes perspired Sink into my substance Expand; ooze all over with Quiet confidence Flow in luxurious nakedness Screamed verse to be heard there in sign Align with the presence, oh Holy again! How blue leaves seemed flowery then From the wreckage, it’s seen: the vestige Floating above, you cold iron dove Vanish for now or call it forever Though my balance sinks through, all creeps unto you That flightful fight Try not to grow adrift in the grimoire When everything seems to be similar Flip foot and stare while you flee blinding cause Cause and prepare I’ve tried but I’m still there Jungled through the snare Where I’ve gone, I can’t compare to Where I fare

Voyage (Interlude) 02:49

Could we rest a while On behalf of these happenings Waves in tragedy Becoming For us… For that Northern image Turns to see the end of the line For the lusts For the lions immortal Or more… When somethin’s right Run and gun died Someone guns Pale night Recite Where came Prayers unleavened We’ll alight While they blight For more… When somethin’s wrong Growin’ in here Somethin’s near

Vale before; tease your swimming grimace Sinner's grinner grows grimmer Pale night Rose to delight Bursting the moment wide, a calm No sitting bull, lead on Could we rest a while On behalf of these happenings Waves in tragedy Becoming Hold tight Froze from insight Bursting the moment wide, a call A spirit full, lead all Look through the eye Onward to find Selflessly love A spiritual bride Open for sight Beauty enough Know when it's done Know when you've lost one It's all just a dream anyway And no one asleep to stay Tepid, we sell our meaning (freely) And surrender more for feeling (something) Zeal height Rose to recite Blessing the moment full, your cup Our silent toll, reel up Broke through the eye Onward to find Selflessly love A spiritual bride Open for sight Beauty enough Hold what you feel And grow when the love's real Barrelled over We have nothin' left to say You won't bring her to her knees Memory fade We lapse away

Hawks?....... A Situation Sensitive. 03:57
lyrics

Cross your might, strength aborted For your sight is shorted, in matrix land of bliss With talk like this you’ll grow their list And we all know who they is Horus hawks, the squawking sun Restless fiends impressing no one Here, body erased comes to form Embers freshening, grow in the wind Young, this torment Already enflamed A situation sensitive as ours is Strife in it 'til moon hits (Lowly lit, still we sit, indefinite, wretched static) (Lower lives in vain, no redeeming of right) On, all in, turn on, all in, turn on, all in, turn on, all in, On (All in with the longest forgotten night In with the gonest kind of trouble Begun to hit it off, all in time) Dine, departed Clever land in hand And then again the double backin' Hastily, faintly, blurring eyes though darker destined Windowed when Oh, it ends But still some light, might let in How dishonest a lie, Oh Mary And will she come help me?

Place Of Habit 04:51
lyrics

Habit on the fly Point her toward the sky There is another Awake to the other Still yon dreamer of the day, most dangerous Warble aside Lungs crash on sight Hooks hang, dried necks Forcefully shook Truly you're lovely, but you're not above me (It's good) You would have with your love Become the one Would you come down from the mountaintop? Would you blame me 'cause I saw the light? There's a place, Lord, I know it well Where I'd go, come back, and go to Hell Sing it loud! How many more gonna have to die? Hear the sound, ponderin' how they'll spare the bride Gifts from beyond the yawning grave So long, still lace, hold space and attempt to stay away Left on the left brain Lilt longer, lay low, let go Your own somber flow Relearning all that got let in To drench back in the skin To win what the soul wouldn't show Inward we go... But in all the olive sown Perpetually unknown A planet in line Just scheming to collide Abide all our times And pray come love, come right Through holly, through the leaves Carve for the deceive A trick that doesn't transfer Just something I'm not after So break in beyond Herald in the calm Quivering child Come in and be loved, and belong Belong

So, you go It's not the end of the road For me at all With all I've seen Well, it don't mean There ain't a-many-a-new-thing To be seen It's all I know When I get home I'm kickin' off my limbs To hold to you anew Already gone Proving that someone Will live on And when ya know This weight of all Kick off your limbs And lay with me again Already gone...

A Chaos In Order 07:17
lyrics

Rang true Implore Rose more Change hue Before Closed door Now, come down Allure of renown Both lost and found Where are they Coming from? What are they Running from? Eternal Return all Infernal Burial Stay wise Subside Eruptions reside What are they Riding on? What are they Running from? Reflections I couldn’t see myself In the pond It was somebody else Tangled in threads behind Let ‘em unwind Tramples of battering rhyme Canon wouldn’t lead the court to whine Another universe spins away Whatever makes manifest is light Their worm does not die, the fire’s too far Traversed beyond what we can manage In transit Come un-found Look now (No, don’t look down) The source is on you (They’re comin’ ‘round your way, in doubt) And we can’t undo A sober mind (They’re comin’ ‘round the bend) Asleep on the bar Unwound (Unbound) A flight is begun (Inbound) You won Step in the sun (Join joyful sound) And when we get home We will know for sure How we’re paved with gold Treasures Un-Earthed And when we get known It will show for sure Lanes are paved with gold Pleasures, our mirth And when we get home We will know for sure Just what was paved with gold What was your worth Every single star Will recede to the bed Under the oath And the ocean will collect Our share Where we share

about

The complete collection of demos for the album Be It Known That The Quest Upon Thee May Be Stricken With The Haste Of Wilderness, intended to be professionally recorded later. It's called "skeleton" because it's the skeleton of an album that will be completed later.

To put it broadly, this album is about relating human relationships to relationships with psychedelics, and then relating relationships to psychedelics with a relationship with God. It's a journey, or a "quest" through these concepts, beginning with wild philosophical introspection, and ending with Eternity. What I want to make clear is that the "quest that may be stricken with with haste of wilderness" is every bit about the quest through life as it is about the journey inward, to the soul and the self.
