Artist Discography


Calculate the maths, navigate the maps
travel through the minds eye, meditate relax
find time and create the space to make tracks
celebrate the fact, that we escaped the traps layed to catch
the subconscious mind decieve mankind and leave the third eye blind
but my insight can not be impaired, I’m visually aware
although initially unprepared for the actuality
stifled by the practicalities of creatively, I seek freedom
I visualise the scene, I can see the grand scheme through these eyes
and dreams
my stream of consciousness is liquid tranquility
a turquoise pool of limitless calligraphy
my brain engaged in sub-aquatic activity
the endangered species released from captivity to reclaim the rainforest
and roam the outback, in the clouds we compose a soundtrack
I focus on beats and day dream about that
the fat cat scheme but we avoid the mouse trap
its abstract as a androids aspirations
seen through computer generated animations
a rainbow of pixels, invisible to the fickle
your will too weak, ya bones brittle
my flows a lone trickle of liquid on the sickle of a druid
the essence of this - the life fluid
life, I pursue it with a passion
lights camera action, another cinematic adaption

when I rise and open my eyes, its like the universe beginning
I wake at day-break, the skies are blue, the birds are singing
and even though the earths spinning
everything in view, is motionless for a minute as the true
colors of mother nature are captured in a freeze frame
it seems strange, I sit back and watch the scene change
I seek green plains and picture myself there
the city restricts me I consider my welfare
staring at a grey wall, and even when things get heated I stay cool
the astroid vapours break my fall, I take it all in my stride
use my time wisely and move with the tide
utilise the wisdom of my guide
unify light and dark to balance out either side
we provide stability, attention and care
my sidekick, the drum that comes before the snare
the psychic, i had a premonition of creation
I blocked out the noise and watched cloud formations from the park
layed out on the grass, as the darkness desends I discard chart ends
and head for shelter
everyday I’m dealt a new hand, and my crew plans to expand
see our names on your news stand in two grand, you cant distract me,
I see red when I’m angry, and red when I’m happy
