Like a rolling stone you had a bad day, You lost your home, no place to stay, You’ll clean up the river bed ‘til your feet get numb, Just remember, you’ll feel the pain now, But you won’t feel it later, And later will come. And it’ll wash away, And it’ll wash away, And it’ll wash away-ay, Stand! And the trees overtake the pivots and levers, Nothing lasts forever, That’s when we hear the boom, boom, boom, boom, Nature’s taking cities away, Telling us to give and live a little, Remember all the castles we build… Will wash away, Will wash away, Will wash away-ay, Stand! And it’ll wash away, And it’ll wash away, And it’ll wash away-ay, And it’ll wash away, Stand!

And the last thing she wrote on her mind, Became the very last words of her lyrics, And she wrote a song not to be heard, But by the bird, But by the bird. And just when she thought she was alone, There came a knock from the outside, And before she could utter a word, There was a bird, There was a bird. And the first thing she said on her flight, “I’ve never been this close to the stars!” She never thought she’d stray from the herd, She thanked the bird, She thanked the bird, She thanked the bird.

Capstone 03:07
Let’s go down, let’s go down, Down to the river where the gold once was, The sun is beating down, And it is burning. Let’s go down, let’s go down, Down to the bottom of the Earth’s hot core, We’ll find for ourselves, What keeps this planet turning. Sometimes I wonder where my blood begins, I just lose it all through my feet as I round the world again, I say, let’s just go, break through the flow, Let’s just go, break through the mold, Let’s just go, break through the hold, Let’s go for the capstone. Let’s climb up, let’s climb up, Climb to the mountains that were never climbed up, We’ll see the face of the Earth, And lights a’turning. Let’s go to space, let’s go to space, Let’s set examples for the human race, We’ll see what spins the stars, And keeps them burning, Won’t beat around the bush, I swear we’re learning. Sometimes I wonder where my blood begins, I just lose it all through my feet as I round the world again, I say, let’s just go, break through the flow, Let’s just go, break through the mold, Let’s just go, break through the hold, Let’s go, Just go for the capstone. Let’s get down, let’s get down, (x8) Oh.

If I want to fly, Without the help of wings, Then you know I'll fly without the help, Without the wings, even if I'm falling, I don't need wings, I won't need wings. I was born with words long told, You can be anything you want to be, I was born with words long told, You can be anything you want to be, You can be anything you want to be. Don't tell me the sky's the limit, I will redefine your sky, ooh, The sky encompasses the stars, It weaves the stars, and gods on high, It weaves the stars, and gods on high. Don't tell me what I can and cannot do, Stop shooting holes through my coat, I see I'm not welcome here, There are holes in your boat, There are holes in your boat.

It’s a demon’s day off, Take off your shoes; don’t look at the wall, oh, So many heads, you don’t want to look at them, They’re all dead but that’s fine, They can’t look at you while you pine, oh. Oh. It’s a demon’s day off, oh, Look at the waters; look at the seagulls taking off, into flight, You don’t have to worry about the fight, I want you to sleep tight, Mister sandman will bring you dreams tonight, oh. And you can kick back and stay a while, You don’t have to go outside today, oh, Now hell’s out of business, you don’t have to leave your estate, I want you to sleep tight, Mister Sandman will bring you dreams tonight, I want you to relax, You don’t have to wear the mask anymore. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh. [extended version] It’s a demon’s day off, It’s a demon’s day off, Oh, it’s a demon’s day off, Oh, it’s a demon’s day off, It’s a demon’s day off, It’s a demon’s day off, It’s a demon’s day off, It’s a demon’s day off.

Zeppelin 03:51
Flying a zeppelin, high above the ground, Sweeping the catwalk, a diamond ring I found, I phoned the captain, said we found something new, Showed my crew in the blue. Flying a zeppelin, high above the ground, Sweeping the open seas, an isle ground I found, I phoned the navigator, said we found something new, Showed my crew in the blue. It's so beautiful from up here, It's so beautiful from up here, It's so beautiful from up here, It's so beautiful from up here, It's so beautiful from up here, It's so beautiful from up here, It's so beautiful from up here, It's so beautiful from up here.

about

This is my first real attempt at an album! :) Well, a demo album naturally, it's really a mix tape of some of my more fun tracks. Including three songs, all from album concepts still in progress ("Later Will Come" on the "You'll Escape EP," "There Are Holes In Your Boat" on "Into the Chasm," and "Zeppelin" on "The Pepperjack Album" [also featuring four unreleased bonus tracks: "There Was a Bird," "Capstone," "Demon's Day Off," and "Something About a Face"]), this demo showcases some of my recent experimental tracks. Please do enjoy! :D
