Monocle Maniacs 03:42
lyrics
buy track
The way forward is always up Obscured by ignorance some don’t see You have to chase your dreams vertically You see through one eye only When you run into trouble Don’t call out for me Please just adjust your eyepiece accordingly Accordingly... Lift off... Road block head is in the way Gonna go straight through no matter what they say You see through one eye only When you run into trouble Don’t call out for me... Please just adjust your eyepiece accordingly Accordingly... Let your other eye wander You’ll find yourself lighter Light enough to float away To float away Cover the distance Sickened by the arrogance You can’t hear through the dissonance

Tazmily's Money 04:38
lyrics

In the town square, on the islands of nowhere It’s a peaceful place, no one bothers with the rat race Then they infiltrate, the swine and a man full of hate They introduce happiness, with a box and a loaded kiss Tazmily, you don’t need the pig’s money You just have to learn to stand on your own Over time now, the village has sure grown But at what price, happiness we should have known When they infiltrate, the swine and a man full of hate They destroyed peace of mind, maybe one day we’ll still find... Tazmily, you don’t need the pig’s money You just have to learn to stand on your own In the town square, on the islands of nowhere Oh what it used to be, a place to live peacefully So they crushed a great place, they changed it just to taste They destroyed happiness, with a snout and a loaded kiss Tazmily, you won’t fight the pork army You’ll just have to learn to take back your home Infiltration by the snout, find a way to throw them out Infiltration by the snout, find a way to throw them out Down with the snout, take them out Down with the snout, take them out

Messing With Your Head 04:02
lyrics

Brain’s in zero gravity, no signs of life in front of me I need you to make fun of me, eyes are blind and I can’t see Pinch a nerve, pinch some skin, space cadet I’m wrestling Blast into the universe, throat is strugglin’ with a thirst Never fret... Horse behind the cart It’s spike, then set! Never fret... We’re just trying to mess with your head Proving that it’s full of lead We’re just trying to mess with your head Observing skies overhead, signs that point can be read Always careful where I tread, the hunger now it’s getting fed Pinch a nerve, pinch some skin, space cadet I’m wrestling Blast into the universe, throat is strugglin’ with a thirst Never fret... Horse behind the cart It’s spike, then set! Never fret... We’re just trying to mess with your head Proving that it’s full of lead We’re just trying to mess with your head We’re just trying to mess with your head

Mars in the Limelight 04:33
lyrics

Propelled by light, compelled by sights The energy pushes you forward, don’t look back... Mars is in the limelight And you can’t stop it It's set its sights It’s a fight for your life No flight, no flight, no flight Prepare to fight The wind is blowing black as night now It’s stirring up quite a fright Glue yourself down, attention is paid You can’t get away, get away Mars is in the limelight And you can’t stop it It’s set its sights It’s a fight for your life No flight, no flight, no flight Prepare to fight Drawn into conflict... No one’s there as you look to the side Not even with peripheral eyes Not even with peripheral eyes Mars is in the limelight And you can’t stop it It’s set its sights It’s a fight for your life No flight, no flight, no flight Prepare to fight

Rush 05:22

A robotic bark awakens The steel paws say hello I can’t fly, but I’ll try with you I can’t fly, but I’ll try with you Even if I miss Even if I miss You’ll provide assistance Every time I miss Every time I miss You’re right there, persistent To jump start me… Jump start me to the present I can’t fly, but I’ll try with you If I can’t float, will you be my boat, will you? If I can’t reach the tallest heights, will you spring me to height? Floating on the water Soaring through the open sky Jumping to tall tall heights

Fertile Ground 05:35
lyrics

I can’t remember when it was that I got lost in this story It’s been so long ago now I wish I knew my way out of this maze I keep on reading deeper and deeper into it I’m cornered right now but I think I will get out one day The dream of running away is running away from me It grew legs and is scampering across terrain swiftly I’ll climb these foreign vines to the top of a tree There it’s fertile…An open season on productivity Caves and rocks in front of me, seams to obstruct my trek, inwards Now that I have the tools, I’ll chip and chip away, at them I keep on digging deeper and deeper into it Crust, mantle, core now, hope I will find my way out, one day The dream of running away is running away from me It grew legs and is scampering across terrain swiftly I’ll climb these foreign vines to the top of a tree There it’s fertile…An open season on productivity Down here it’s warmer than the suns combined But it’s me that’s cold as ice Attempting to thaw

about

Well, here we are again, another acoustic EP!

With the first volume of Escapist's Tome doing so well, and me enjoying the acoustic recording process so much, I decided to start tackling another EP right after the first one's release.

This one was more of a collaborative effort with Pat Pat helping tremendously. The pandemic has certainly presented us with some challenges as a band from a live music perspective, but nothing is going to stop us from writing and recording, even if we can't see each other much. That's why we have the TinCanSpaceShipInTheClouds™

We kept a similar format by doing a few old songs off the first LP, a couple newer songs, and finishing it out with an instrumental. We sincerely hope you enjoy the tunage!
