1. MISSION STATEMENT

Stars fade like memory the instant before dawnLow in the east, the sun appears golden as an opening eye.That which can be named must exist.That which can be named can be written.That which is written shall be remembered.That which is remembered lives.In the land of Egypt Osiris breathes.The sun rises and mists disperse.As I am, I was, and I shall be a thing of matter and heaven

One, calling mission control this is our statementIt’s a race against time, and past the deadline Still we can make it if we tryAnd it must be a sign that the planets are alignedThe window is narrow but delivery is possibleReverse engineer the future down to the particles Like you had it in your hand, the akashic almanacAll you gotta to do is drop the needle and sample that What was once a drip, is now an avalancheOf ideas coming in heavy, pours when it rains on your habitatFill the cup to the brim and it overflows, status quo overthrowUsed to put the pro in procrastination Prioritize is the name of the game You watch so much gloss off the products it blinds youUnless you nerd out, the way will not come find youPut the word out, your sphere of influence Dismiss peripheral noise and circumferenceYou know your power lies within your radiusThe core burns eternal with the fire that created us It all starts from the mind, individualYou are the center of the universe integral The architect of of the castle invisible,Savvy time traveler of astroplanes intervalsSo getting back to the thesis of this albumIt’s a fable that spins on the turntableTested to the limit as to what encompasses an audio presentationMore than a fast track, more like a life raftSimiles and metaphors as vehicles and vessels perhaps On both sides, we aim to expand the scopeFor songs you can call your friends and say it’s dope

Calling mission control, this is our statementFree the androids trapped in dualityWe got to tell ’em this world is a fallacyWake up the masses dying in a fantasy

Forget the word play, nah I’m seriousThe present climate can make us all furious Nobody ventures into inneresting areasThe industry nasa model, nefariousA lot of budget in a name and a faceThey can hype you up and put you up in spaceAnd then film your fateTake you there just to broadcast to the worldWe’re going past the frontier looking for the pearlOur vision unwavering freedom we’re savoringEveryday roam galaxies neighboringStill highjack the mainframe time to time Control interfaces, easy like pantomimeSing your heart out, let guitars cryLet the keys talk, tell a story feet highI’m not a superstar astronaut But I’ma fly my ship whether they like it or notI’m a hustler, a punk prodigyNever once did it for the money, just do it for my progenyIt’s all relativity my kin, my affiinity started in ’93 to innnityTrailblazer with an eco sensibilityShape shifting alter-ego versatility Repping my ethos to the best of my abilityI got the dope paint to color my reality

Calling mission control, this is our statementFree the androids trapped in dualityWe got to tell ’em this world is a fallacyWake up the masses dying in a fantasy

2. MOONLIGHTER

On ascent towards and beyond the MoonThe venture ahead is stimulatingWhile locked in tide, we are never without our own mirrored imageAn outlet for the mind to fall back on if the self becomes lostOur darkest fears face the light with every rotationWhile the brightest gloom shares the broken shards of darknessForward moving through the phasesCycling through the mysteries of the uncharted distance ahead,The Moon will guide the way

Tu tu tu tu lu...In the moonlightIn the space time

So the long wait is overAnd all the weight is goneNow the monkey on my back transformed into a wombatMarsupial pouch, portal combatYo gimme the controller one, you bet I’m on thatSoundtrack undeniably boom bapSmooth organs and the narrativeI hear the voice divine, MorganI’m a Freeman staying alive Slaying dragons and demonsCool hands Stan BeemanCo-pilot by the Sauce, tapping codes on the MorseSteady eighty on the course, spearheading with the forceNo regrets, no remorse only going forwardsTherefore no mission abort, ya knowGreater the risk, also greater the rewardWhat lies ahead we coming even if it’s light years aheadPut the darkest fears to bedAlready blast past the gas nowIt’s all in your head, come on

In the moonlightIn the space time

Only the moonlight knows what we’re cooking at nightThe drama with such clarity but fade in the lightWhat we remember from our trips to the sub conWe can recreate on the surface of the AvalonMy ID was good for working while the sun is upMy ideas appear after dark when the stars come outStimulated dull visions with hypercube tesseractClean your cataracts, mental medivacTried heaven on earth, well F for effortOvercrowded with zealots for power except forThe chosen ones not of the sheeple but of shepherds of peopleTaking care of the feeble and still working on sequelsWell, it’s all gravity, since we’re all familyCrew take your posts, main engine fire rapidlyIn response to the 360 infinitely vast sceneryBrain juicy for a new release

3. RADIATION

The Van Allen belts are well beyond the earth’s atmosphere,Extending hundreds of miles outwards into space.Two donut-shaped rings full of charged particles like protons and electrons, Surround the earth as a consequence of our planet’s magnetic field.

Bust itMashing through layers of Van Allen beltsWhile bumping Jump by Van HalenHigh pressure NORS tanks inhalingPretty pictures pale in comparisonSigh, kind of embarrassing what I’ve been missingAll along in the comfort of my homeGet away from the newsGet used to the solitude, be a happy moleculeDude, fuel up chewing on space foodThen level up what’s tonight on the menuYo who am I kidding it’s the same mealBut computerized aroma got 8 milCombination that will last a few lifetimesLiving a lifestyle limited in pastimesI’m detached from the past tensePresent in the present, what happens will happenSo far from the gridStop checking messages every two minutesRisqué communique, some faces still stuck like a shuriken okaySo what am I to do, oohI can live off memories so long as they’re trueInsinuating not always genuineBut I wanna stay free like a BedouinMove around like a nomadSolar flare proof poet with a pen and a notepadI can write about anything no one’s gonna find me,penny in a totebagMaybe if I dig deep enough I will hope thatSomething is there like a gem in a topazIf I dig deep enough I will hope thatSomething is there like a gem in a topaz

In otherworldly jargon, I always dreamed aboutBeing trapped in a room flame retardantEvery wall is beige and gray and you age and grayBlack and white mixed with an asian raceAll shades of brown, red gold and green any kind,An amazing graceBillions of years repped in a single faceAnd the eyes speak a myriad of words they sayTogether we here to survive the end of daysSome high some low, treble and bassTogether we gonna ride till the end of daysSome high some low, treble and bass

We here to survive the end of daysSome high some low, treble and bassTogether we gonna ride till the end of daysSome high some low, treble and bass

Everlasting bassEverlasting bass

4. DREAMCAST

Dreams, what are dreams?Where do they come from?A place of imaginationDreams are everywhere But reside in no place in timeTime which is infiniteWe’re trapped in the happenstance of lucidityA place where the subconscious rulesDreamsThere’s so much to say about them,That there’s nothing else to say

So broadcasting your dream was a fad a few decades agoEverybody went literally mad trying to captureThe rights of other people’s imaginationAnd then the Synchro became so popularWhere you can see the same sceneAmongst your own clan with binocularsNeither virtual or augmented not exactly innocuousTo the brain our greatest source of scenariosThough when the Singularity arrivedThose hooked on devices lost their mindsRather uploaded to the cloud never to return to hiveMy point being not being on earth is a curse and a blessing ‘causeI can record my own data and keep them privateNobody owns my sleep quest, request uninvitedSo ironic I had to travel light years to discover thatTrip inside my own head was worth exploringHow could I ever feel life was boring back homeBut the fact I did got me into stargazingThinking there’s gotta be more than a 9 to 5The answer I’m trying to findI already know but I’m still dying to find

Those distant nebulae Are shining and shiningStar echo resonateKeeps rising and rising

Homeostasis imbalance is a real thingEspecially out here, rightHow many times I heard about a floating rideAnd the pilot inside committed space suicideThe darkness surrounds as a lullabyA homicide cop impervious to alibisWanted to pin it on the pirates what’s newLooking for foul play Tyvek jumpsuitCode blue, all so cold like liquid O2They say it’s dangerousWhen you stop playing music on the speaker systemThe sound of silence is deafeningAfter all, time axis indefiniteIt just feels so slow when you’re living itIt never does seem like death is imminentItinerary very uninhibited

Those distant nebulae Are shining and shiningStar echo resonateKeeps rising and rising

5. REFLECTIONS

Um, take a moment to reflectUpon the image of yourself, erectBare of a title or possessions to surf inStripped of identity are you the same person?No distraction, only these instructionsSilence the noise, calm your nervesStep into the void then corner the curvesEvery turn is a fresh perspectiveThird eye wide open and receptiveThe dish, parabola antennaAvra kehdabra verbal powerQuantum analysis of brain waves dark matterPatterns stand out from background chatterThe primary conversation is your characterUs humans are complex catheters

Cylindrical catheters

Creativity in artificial matricesThe canvas is a construct in entiretyThe concept was born in captivityThat the soul is a product of calamityThe ying and yang, the dark side negativityNecessary partnership with positivityBalancing the weight is the keyUnobstructed light sun shines for eternityAt least in our lifetime two hundred yearsMidlife crisis of the century shifting gearsDestiny manifests only if we let itGo into interlocking motion once we set itThe mechanism is deceivingly simpleThe novice luck keeps receiving in a cycleOpportunities distributed evenlyEven amongst the trillion stars heavenly

6. SPONGE MONSTERS

We are here to soak your memoriesWe are here to absorb your energiesWe are here to soak your memoriesWe are here to absorb your energies

Watch outIt's the attack of the sponge monstersFrantic last minute promoters who lost sponsorsAlways choose the worst possible timingCausing hysteria, sending my assignmentsOut of whack, out of sightSike, their appearances first soft and innocent likeStuffed dolls and caricatures Just you wait, til they slip up and break characterToo late to zip up, the stuffiing is out soFree the robots, snuffiing ’em out, ohThey can sap all of your chi and absorb itAct like you're about to go fly their orbit Passed down sanctified entitlement I don’t have the time nor the fuel to be idling Air down there is giving me asthmaTreat every piece of souvenir like a hazmatI need to muster the power to push backTurning my cranium into mushBrain freeze… mashed potatoesCan’t even smell a fresh can of tomatoesCryogenics liquid nitrogenLowers the body temperature in a pinchBreak out of carbonite a la Han SoloYou want out of this mess, then follow

We are here to soak your memoriesWe are here to absorb your energiesWe are here to soak your memoriesWe are here to absorb your energies

Override manuals for spontaneityFlashback to ET 1980sExtra dextrous hologram keyboardsAdjust parameters to emulate cyborgsSpyware all up in the mixBlocking opponents never a quick fix They can still position your coordinates shared Cross reference, got you in a crosshairHow to escape the wrath of the sponge Only way to sneak out spike the punch Layman’s terms, you need to get them buzzed Off their own talk, then find a good chance to walkAway, don’t run you might trip the wiresTip the fish hook, cast net requires A password and I got a keychainAdmin status, actively searchingMatch the biometrics, scored a hat trickThat’s it, open the hatch and close the lidsTheir sine waves don’t ever phase meNow we’re in the clear, yo we’re outta here

7. THE CRUX

Handle it, crux ansataElectricity running through my bodyBlood getting hotterSituation criticalEyes dilated otter, spin the samsara

Be water, grimier than gutterLaser on flesh, hot knife on butterEM weapon is a crime in metropolisNo police so the vibe is a labyrinthScheme is sophisticated and the plot is elaborateLoyalty is a spider web tangled in benefitsFeeding off encrypted nanobitsDo you wanna visit Anubis?You can take a life away in a manuscriptOn the flip you can breathe energy intoInanimate objects let them kill counterfeitsWhat I’m saying not straying far from the truthThe space is the place but zero proofThat it’s safe for a humanoid to be hereYou must first conquer the fear entering the crux

Somebody say murderShe wrote in a notebook gossip and fodderIt don’t stop at the federal levelCustomized options more than a severalHow to take out marks like a doggy bagParamedics too late, soggy body bagSorry for the bad karmaNo harm if asleep so no need to ring his alarmPut on the armor, tanned as a farmerHe formerly a partner turned informerHeads up, a fleet of plasma bombersStay behind get stuffed like dolmasWhat I’m saying not straying far from the truthThe space is the place but zero proofThat it’s safe for a humanoid to be hereYou must first conquer the fear entering the crux

9. EUPHORIA

Ya-ya Ya-ya Ya-yaYae-ae-ae Yae Yae

It's some where You've never beenIn this universe

Uh It's some where You've never been beforeAh in this universe

Our goal was the Exploratorium on the castaway planet EuphoriaYou only heard about the legendary concerts called XenotopiaExclusive to the members and blacked out to the whole mediaWithout a ticket had to enter lottery to try to win and hit theMeteor shower underneath the tangerine tie dye skyWhen they hit me up, if we’d be willing to be featuredOn the stage as an opener for Ihy-RaThe headliner of the festival, of course we obligedSo we tipped the bugThe information can be leaking any minuteAnd it doesn’t really nip the budKnow what I mean, if you were to give up the opportunityNobody gives a funkInstead a younger lad comes along and wants it moreSo if you wanna have some funWe gotta go now and hit the road jackHold up show ’em how it’d doneTill the crowd goes oh wowThat was an insane scene to rememberIn my mind with the eyes closedThe lens capped but projected on the mental let the film roll

It's some where You've never beenIn this universe

So back to the show with the stage workA spectacle to behold out of this worldThe house band held it down for three daysEvery sunset is a different hue and the dusty blueReminiscent of the one on MarsBut on this planet water is abundant the green is lushSupernatural wondersThese dome sized speakers sounding like rolling thundersStill ringing in my monitor, when we walked down the under-ground corridorLeading to the ultra-magnetic elevatorInstead of going up to the penthouse to join the afterpartyGot invited to come down to the capstone of the inverse cone, it was an instant fallInscribed on the granite wall of the gigantic hall it read:If you can afford a pen and a paperYou can do anything and everythingI had to save that, reminder for the times I let time slip byAbsent data but the night was far from over‘Cause it was none other than Ihy-Ra One the Magnificent greeting usHe explained he was a fan of our improv jamsThat we had on our channels, damn what a surpriseThat we found each other like thisAnd an ultimate prize that he put us on the hypest gig in the motherhugging galaxyWhy couldn’t every single day feel this special kind of wayOh wait, we had a hand in our own fate, malleableWhat we gonna do today, so valuableWe said bye to Euphoria energized to the max, humbled, and unflappable

It looks as if the crew is arriving to their destinationBut we may never know what awaitsFate always has something in storeOnly if they are willingTo knock on that cosmic door

12. BRING ME HOME (S8102 VER.)

I’ve been on this edge beforeStanding on the ridge that i can marvel at the dinosaursThe ferns and the jellyfish rule supremeHumans long buried in the dirt making creamFor the modified crops to flourish without worriesOur molecules nourish the free furriesThat roam around the grounds desecrated by manAgainst the behest of womanWhat am I doing revisiting the pastFrom a post far removed from the original nest,Geez at first it was a test of wills to seeWho can find options lost at sea of the universePrior to abandon reckless shipThat sailed out and got spun like bearingsPlan B urned into C, D, and EBy the time we said F it, lost all beliefs

Bring me home, home, homeBring me home, home, homeBring me home, home, homeBring me home, home, home

Aw, burnt that one way ticketWandered around til we landed the rocketBeyond repair but we learned to manage‘Cause the deep sleep chambers we salvagedOur bodies are rested while our minds on wireWorking tireless but mostly retiredDoes that even make senseOur neurons are firing running idle, donning idolsGlimmer of hope, a candle in the stormNo poetry here, just channeling the boredomWhatever happened to challenging the normMachines take voice commands, we conformedThe weakest form of a speciesThe real country laughed at our treatiesShe gave us everything we needed as freebiesAnd now we lay in our bed like seaweeds

Bring me home, home, homeBring me home, home, homeBring me home, home, homeBring me home, home, home

Well I’m still here, between Mars and Venus And I am sorry it went like this between us I couldn’t trust human words no more I had to lose them at the shoreI was wilting before my time had come Suffocating under your serfdom Struggling to find a remedyTo cure that land that once was meBut your ashes came from a thousand stars awayThey will nourish the roots of a thousand trees somedaySwirling around I’ll make you a rhizomeAnd you’ll be glad to know, you’re home

If you receive this transmissionI hope you understand that I had ambitionStarted out young, eyes filled with a visionBut it got clouded and yes my positionGot erased too, so i had to zoom out 10xIt was a gut check, bowl of enzymesMy center was off the perimeterOff the charts and none too familiarIn the event should I remain hidden yeahOff the grid, this one for good riddanceThere, I don’t have to be extra terrestrialTo wanna phone home but the irony is celestialAnd the fact that i am indeedPlus the probability that my satellite feedWill ever come back is close to nilSo i ask you to take my ashes and spill
