Winter has come but you would know My lady’s in town for a few nights alone I’m off the map and I’ve shut off my phone Don’t come to my house cuz there’s nobody home The receiver is set to phono The needle drops at the sound of our clothes A wall of sound to muffle our moans We’ve got time to take it real slow It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight Stay close to me Bessie When it's cold outside There are world forming When I look in your eyes Stay close to me Bessie When it's cold outside There are world forming When I look in your eyes Your eyes (It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight) Your eyes (It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight) Your eyes (It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight) Your eyes (It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight) Stay close to me Bessie When it's cold outside There are world forming When I look in your eyes Stay close to me Bessie When it's cold outside There are world forming When I look in your eyes Stay close to me Bessie When it's cold outside There are world forming When I look in your eyes Your eyes When I look in your eyes

Smell The Rain 04:08

I smell the rain again For the millionth time In who knows when She kissed my cheek and left Leaving my words to fade in the wind These thoughts are made of gold I'll pluck them out and swallow them whole I smell the rain again I smell the rain again I've had such high hopes I won't always have a safety rope Wind gusts like a tornado Holding on for dear life at this rodeo Let my patience decompose That's who you are I suppose Do you have thoughts of your own? Or is something else in control? All this and more Tune into the next episode I've had such high hopes I won't always have a safety rope I've had such high hopes I won't always have a safety rope I smell the rain again It comes alive Even with no scent Her presence came and went When it comes around she tries to circumvent These thoughts are made of gold She plucks them out and swallows them whole I hold her pain again She brings the rain again I've had such high hopes I won't always have a safety rope I've had such high hopes I won't always have a safety rope I won't always have a safety rope I won't always have a safety rope I won't always have a safety rope I won't always have a safety rope

I Have No Friends On This Planet 04:30
lyrics

Unknown menagerie It’s been so long since we left A distant memory Our old lives left in the past The goal trajectory Conform and reconnaissance To build new histories Devoid of consequences When I woke up Just before dawn Something tripped The silent alarm Where’d my friends go All their things have gone They must have left unharmed This might sound crazy Have they all just left me Am I too hasty My thoughts seem shaky Untrain my mind Identities intertwined A path designed I ask myself Why I’m all alone now My friends are gone, they all left I woke up at dawn When I tried their coms were all dead It’s dark and cold out Resolve bear fruitless The panic came on What if they’re never coming back Untrain my mind Identities intertwined A path designed I ask myself Why I have no friends on this planet The third dimensions a bore They said that they couldn’t stand it They all needed a fourth But I have friends on other planets That stand ten feet tall And when they travel It’s Interdimensional

Run Rabbit Run 03:06
lyrics

In an instant that memories pass through a ruined and abandoned synapses Uncovered memories memories Surrendered various fantasies Roam free without a map Until the weight of my body collapses Enduring countless catastrophes Over and over again for centuries Run Rabbit Run It’s time to race the rising sun A new day has just begun Don't stop don't stop until you’ve won In the time that sentiments pass The thought of utter contempt lapses Uncovered memories memories Creating numerous fantasies Roam free without a lamp Until the darkness consumes your ashes Inflicting internal catastrophes Over and over the only casualty Run Rabbit Run You need to chase the rising sun There's more days left to come Don't stop don't stop don't stop When the wolves come to hunt The rabbit learns to run When the wolves come to hunt The rabbit learns to run

You can’t sit there and watch the world go by Don’t be willing to lose all desire No more shadows, no shades of gray You could draw light to the darkest cave The winds are changing, buckle up for the ride Your ships prepared for the rising tide Fragile texture, vibrant world to grip All of these hacks couldn’t write your script A spot of light in a world of pitch black A burst of turquoise wrapped in lilac Take all the chances, no more turning back There's no off road when you make the path Palettes balanced, the strokes are too high Filled with knowledge, a heart of sapphire The world is waiting, time to defy You can see it all with your baby blue eyes When you want to sing strong You will find your song Truth is it was written all along Absorbing air in your lungs You can listen for the drums And it'll slip right from your tongue A spot of light in a world of pitch black A burst of turquoise wrapped in lilac No more shadows, no shades of gray You could draw light to the darkest cave The winds are changing, buckle up for the ride Your ships prepared for the rising tide The world is waiting, time to defy You can see it all with your baby blue eyes

about

I Have No Friends On This Planet or so I thought….
This record started before the pandemic and it was originally just going to be a few singles with videos to accompany. Smell The Rain was the first single that was released with a video in 2020, then in 2021 I Have No Friends On This Planet came out with a video. Over the next few years, I began working on the other three songs and I felt like this would be better as an ep.

released January 24, 2024

I could not have made this record without…
My Nu Pantz copartner Patty D, The Alchemist, helped with the mixing of the whole record and he made the drums and synth parts on the No Friends title track.

Ryan J Hudson, The Armorer, originally wrote and recorded the bass parts for Crushed Velvet Helmet. He was also a critical consultant throughout.

Jay, Head Mage, roaming apparition that inflicts bouncing of booties all across the land. His perspective and insight on music is irreplaceable. His influence is scattered throughout the record.

Thanks to…
My Family for letting me drive them crazy and supporting my nonsense.

Bess for shifting my perspective and being a creative inspiration.

UCLA Extension for artistic education.
