(Music: Bucio
Lyrics: Bucio/Mobarry)
Come, all of you come
See the birth of the boy who’ll do anything
To make you smile
I’d like to see you smile
When the wind carried your intentions away
I took a hard, long, still, long look in the mirror
And forgot you that day
You’re never far away, and I say…
Stay in your everyday life
‘Cause I never asked why you cried
‘Cause I lied
Lie, lie, lie
Strange days are coming
But you wouldn’t know
‘Cause you are the best friend
That I’ve come to know
So never a goodbye
Lie, lie, lie
(I only go outside, I go outside only if rain)

An Artwork; Clandestine
01:47

(Music: Bucio/Gregg/Mobarry
Lyrics: Mobarry)
"Can art exist without an artist?
The answer…is yes!
…And we could end it right there, but let’s ponder this for a moment.
Do you ever really think on how the new becomes old, how the old becomes new, and what’s at the center of it all?
And, please, recognize with me that each of these statements, these thoughts, if you break them down, leave you in the end with, really, nothing but words. Words upon words upon words upon words, too many words!
So, in the following exercise, crafted by us just for you, on the origin of where stories come from: Please turn to the first page, first line with me, loud and clear:
'Tomorrow is today’s new home!'"

(Music: Bucio/Gregg/Mobarry
Lyrics: Mobarry)
Say you want a little taste of something wicked
Lives sing to the soil in the wreckage of
The giants destroying our homes
Eat them all, delicious sheep
Capture the big man, watch us feed
You are in ruin, heated meat
For this, we must come down from our cloud
Your life, it desecrates our vow
In the name of all that is now
BOW DOWN!
And so you’ve all convened right here
The message, the message isn’t clear
There’s something wrong here
Something’s wrong here
Find your friends
They’re scattered about the houses
In pieces and parts, postmodernist art
I’m missing the vital, most important part
There’s no heart
And if I start, good lord, I’ll – I’ll start!
In the cavern of a soul
Where there used to be a heart
My world is falling apart
Closer now than I’ve ever felt
You know how much I love you so
But if you stay right here, you’ll have to go
You’d walk away
If you had half the mind
(If you have the mind, if you halve the kind)
Friends tell me friends are simpler
I don’t want to believe
Friends tell me friends are simpler
I don’t want to believe
In spite of all, we lay besieged
Sometimes I want to watch them leave
Dead don’t need no time to grieve
Who asked you, you wrinkled fiend?
Silence before me
Who can steep the rebellion’s fall?
I want to go home
But I’m closer now than I’ve ever felt
You know how much I love you so
But if you stay right here, you’ll have to go
So find your way
Before you lose your mind
So I hold sides
Watch their dreams become
Something more than life
Because I never felt quite the same
Since that night, that night
When the sun comes down on our every day
You will know you’re in trouble soon
When a life asks what living life is for
Do not give it an answer soon
With a future so bold, every problem’s foretold
There is no chance we are doomed
For the pounding of our sacred hearts
Will find us an answer soon, so come on now
When the sun comes down on our every day
You will know you’re in trouble soon
When a life asks what living life is for
Do not give it an answer soon
With a future so bold, every problem’s foretold
There is no chance we are doomed
For the pounding of our sacred hearts
Will find us the answer soon
And when the moon, he whispers I’m right
We’ll be fine, they’re coming
Now we do the dance of those who have no chance
(Silence)
“A shepherd feasts on his misshapen flock in masses”
Let me show you the words – Listen:
Hey, okay
Flaunt the loss of love today
Ohhh, I should’ve done it yesterday
Hey, okay
Flaunt the loss of love today
Hey, okay
Hahahaha!
Feel the spirits crushed beneath the wheels
Hey, okay
Got nothin’ to say anyway
I could’ve done it yesterday
Hey, okay
Flaunt the loss of love today
Hey, you’ll say
As I take your life away
Final hour baptisms
Just to feed on the blights
Damn the portcullis
We walk into danger tonight
I have come now to relieve
Our blessed father, that wretched father
The ace up the devil’s sleeve
And should we perish here tonight
They threaten all that we’ve strived for, our way of life
Ahhh, do you hear ‘em calling? (Do you?)
They’re psalms of war
You betrayed our Father’s word
He will come for us, as he always has and will
Into the chapel, Father forgive them
And on we drive, and on we drive
They cannot stop us with hearts alive
And on we ride, and on we ride
We cannot stop them with hearts alive
The reverie to quell the giants is silence

Right Side of the Brain
05:52
|

(Music: Gregg/Mobarry
Lyrics: Mobarry)
It’s creeping on us, it’s creeping on us, it’s on me
It’s creeping on you, it’s creeping on you, it’s here
Is this the life that you lead?
Your greatest fear in the shape of
A wasp, a death, a virus, a silence
Twisting neurons, skinning gears
Is this the life you leave on?
And then it’s gone…
“If your call could not be completed as dialed - Good!”
‘Cause I’m going nowhere, and you are coming with me
If anyone asks, shoot me a call sometime
For evidence of the right side of your
Mind mind, take your time time
For we each have a truth, and I found mine
My brain falls prey to the center my heart defines
(Don’t place trust in a weary mind)
There’s no time, there’s no shelter
When you’re the one you’re hiding from
You’ll always be a step behind
Now there’s no pride, pride nor character
Praying to my youth that drowned in gaslights on high
So pack up your stuff, get on the bus
That’ll throw ‘em off, empathy is divine
I will hold congress with a legislative act
Involving the right side of my brain
Going nowhere, in one direction
If anyone laughs, shoot me a call sometime
For confidence in the right side of your
Mind mind, take your time time time
Avert your eyes, and then you look back
Energize the synapse for a counterattack
There’s something I’m missing
Something that’s keeping me from what I want to be
(I’ll stay home today)
When the watch’s face you recognize
Over the colour of your lover’s eyes
It’s time time, take your life life
Am I free tonight?
You can’t fix a noose with a bandage
My watch stops, my watch ticks
My watch stops
So welcome to the end of time
(Trust me, he says that every time…)
As with all of our clients,
Here’s a performance review of your life - It says here…
Save your opinions for where children can reach them
I pronounce you, now and forever, out of the loop
(AHHHHHHHHH)
Relax, this isn’t the end!
Take a couple deep breaths in, and out again
With a crash, and a big, big bang
Nobody goes to school today
With a mind like that, decreeing its own truths?
(Why, he could rule them all)
“Now if I am dead, that kind of poses a problem
I’m a busy guy with places to go, you understand”
Our author’s hand has inked your end
Wander on, you lonely man
It’s circles, mislabeled, unable, disable
Words are merely offspring of our mutters given cages
Uttered without care, these simple weapons rendered nations to burn
Teach us lessons of a death that comes in stages
The horrors of a wordsmith trapped within the author’s pages
Words are merely offspring of our mutters given cages
The horrors of a wordsmith trapped within the author’s pages

The Impassecopedum
14:16
|

(Music: Bucio/Mobarry
Lyrics: Mobarry)
"You were never truly out of the desert’s reach. Its restless, dried nails dug deep into the ocean trenches lining its shores. They were as an amoeba would be, if traveling from the fingernail to the ear.
The amoeba summoned fire, would mimic the sun overhead. With this signal the goats began to convene. One by one, over the horizon they came – First two, then four, then six, and finally, eight of the horned creatures arrived."
The calm sunlight whispers
The horns come in numbers
As we wait in frigid desert sweats
The goats, the goat knows
Now we approach with armed, wary eyes
And bated breath, what could they want from me (from us)?
They shift, the herd, their minds coalesce into one
(Knowing us, knowing all, knowing what, knowing why)
Octagram arise in the sky
Humanity’s despair alive
But would you stay far away
From this place of merciless space?
Would you smile in awe so bright
Before the sum of mankind’s disgrace?
My arms are damaged from holding you up
I’m so tired of caring for you
But if this burden revolves, I’ll care for you all
‘Til the end, it’s true
(You know it’s true)
I’m not one known to trifle with your trivialities
No, I have come here to settle for impatient miseries
Our antiquities predate histories
(He’s not one, he’s not one
Get away from this space)
Oh, girl, your tears mean the world to me
If you’re looking for a pretty good time
You haven’t found it yet
An answer to the meaning of life?
Oh, please
You disturb my rest (His rest)
Just like all the rest (The rest)
Before I turn that smile inside out
Tell me, what’s this all about?
“Guardian of the north
Soul of many in one
Beseech us with your beauty
As penance for how far we've come”
Pretty (so pretty)
A little sadness goes a long way
In the city (in the city)
Look how far you’ve come to be an other, or a no one
But I’ve never felt so alive before you, singing and dancing
Oh, put that boy up on a screen and see what he would scream
The shapes he makes, the ways he squirms is worth it, wouldn’t you agree?
You can’t talk shit if a friend don’t lie
(A friend don’t lie?) A friend don’t lie
You can’t talk shit if a friend don’t lie
Well, everybody lies
They call you out, blind, withholding mercy
My children abhorred, decadence be done for
The dead smile only in rain (In pain!)
The heart that you lack, an emotionless art attack
From a burdened and burgeoning son
Keep on your feet, ‘cause no matter how sweet
You always will fall for that one
When you’re done, I’ll see you in the battle for the sun
(Now this is the part where things started to get…weird)
Don’t cross the line; We are of fearful kind
I never was a boastful god
But don't you try your luck
Consider yourselves the privileged, the honoured, making history
To watch me destroy it and not give a
Funny you should ask (Haha!)
For penance from the desert plain
I cradle the thoughts of a whole species
Their vanity insane
Don’t cross the line, or enter the realm of all things divine
Where the thoughts are all
Mine, mine, mine, mine!
Creature from the north on high
Let us take you higher still
We have friends in higher places
Let’s go have a couple of drinks, we got the bill
May your souls now tremble, my friends
For eternity is never afraid
An affront to the glory of our earthly story
She outshines us all in her way (every day)
She follows me home, yet I made her lead me
And leave me for her sister night
May the light of her fire consume myself, the liar
She remains, wholly and truly, my guiding light
There’s no love in this temple
But there’s now joy in this heart, his heart
It’s useless to deny it
But how can I survive this?
Ahhh - We are undone
So long, goodbye
We had some fun (a whole lotta fun)
But now it’s time to go
We wish you the best (and all the rest)
It’s just been nice to see how you’ve grown
But still, I know
Closer now than I’ve ever felt
Bright eyes burn
Man taught gods to learn to love
To save your world
Plot the course we will travel on, swiftly
May her stars guide the way
Hold your loved ones close, let your stories grow
It could save your world, world
Someday, some way, somehow
I will shine with the sun

(Music: Gregg/Mobarry
Lyrics: Mobarry)
I willed you to be
From the skin of a tree
From the magnolia to the tallest of oaks
Even they could see
That the branch grew from me
But can I speak for me?
I want me to, believe you me
Lighting up just to lighten up
And I’m sizing up my option
Do I panic, or do I panic worse?
I looked in my eyes and I saw myself breaking
So slow down, little birdie
Don’t fly away so soon
Run away where wings can’t follow
Like flightless birds hatched on the morrow
I bade you none a proper farewell
So, in your memory
I remember the way you used to hold me down
And I remember the day you turned my life around
Until you all skipped town
Went six feet under the ground
No, I can’t take this
No, I can’t be this
Evermore
By god, this city’s on fire (Home)
Evermore
Don’t let me tell you all about me
I could lie to myself
My memories lying behind a shelf
When you look back, do you feel anything?
Can you look back at all?
If you saw me like this, you’d laugh
And all at once may we remember it all
So slow down, little birdie
Don’t fly away so soon
So fly high, my little birdie
The rest is up to you

Debt for Your Thoughts
05:21

(Music/Lyrics: Bucio/Mobarry)
You wanna write my song?
(Just try to sing along)
Who told you?
Told you I was looking for help?
Who told you?
‘Cause when you’re right, you’re always right
And when we’re tight, it’s always tight
I slip into the makeshift light
And pretend that it’s all over, no
(For any questions, please call:)
Mr. Peace-Pipe, He’s-Right
Pillow blockin’ last night said
He ain’t worked since last light
What a fuckin’ sad sight
What could it mean?
So it goes:
I’m missing mp3s from years 1, 2, and 3
And since I’m not that clever
Just sing the words we all remember
(Take me back to the world)
Tell me why (Why)
I’m sweet and sour inside
Gave it the good old college try
Baby, tell me why
(Tell me why)
Yeah!
You wanna take a picture? I can tell
For the brain doesn’t tend to hold up well
Live up to me, give up for me
Mr. Life-Before-Dream
And from way up here, it can get hard to breathe
Is getting down to the sound of a “1, 2, 3”
Something that you believe?
Oh, this is a lot to take in
(Take me back to the world
Tell me why)
Take me back to my life
Sight make love to sound
For none of us will be around forever
Makes it easy to say
Even after death, I walk away
(Breathe in
Breathe, rest your lungs)
You’ll say tomorrow will be okay
(Breathe in)
All just to get you to go away
Bow-wow! Aye-aye!
Captain Mind…
It’s about damn time!
To shake what’s yours
And take what’s mine
(If you feel like you’re gonna be
Something you don’t wanna be
Why won’t you answer me?
I don’t know)
Ah, we’re invincible
Just irresistible
Forged on the principle
We’re the Democrat Utilitarians
Narrative Cesarean
Socially embarrassing
If life leads like the night feeds
We’ll conquer everything, then you’ll see
Endlessly, what it’s like to be just like me
To be me again, alright
Give me space to be who I want to be
And steel yourselves, there will be no stopping us now
So breathe in
Breathe, rest your lungs
Breathe out again
Even after death, I
(Breathe in, breathe in)
There’s so much life in me
But all of us go (all of us go)
Grey and gone, so
Breathe out again
Even after death, I live again
I know tomorrow will be okay

(Music: Bucio/Gregg/Mobarry
Lyrics: Mobarry)
Man stands, in the center of his hearth.
He is old, but in the late hours he can still be found tinkering away, with mind and fingers alike and aflutter.
“What a journey. Creativity remains a motion, worn down by unnecessary hands.”
And through his hands, he watched his child glisten.
(An endless imprinting and reprinting. Conclusion: freedom.)
“I had a dream, last night,
That a plane stopped,
Hovering right over my town -
…And, dropped a bomb out the back…
And, instead of worrying about the people within the blast radius -
The people who would die first -
…I worried about myself.
…And only thought, about…
‘What if the flames would stop, before they got to me?’”
And so, he – the father, the teacher, the monster – now rose to belief. Death was not his friend.
He believed that he had snuck past Death, and conquered Self – and so he turned inward.
Death followed him into the open spaces.
Into his self-imposed catacomb, where tombs house the dead alone, he had been followed.
What would you do if the universe stopped?
(Followed…
Who's there?)

AUTHOR, CHAPTER I
(Music: Gregg/Mobarry
Lyrics: Mobarry)
The day I fell from grace
And words lose power evermore
“You once fancied this space”
I gesture to the floor
This is your home
Obliged to your seclusion
I pictured you in positions plenty
Mouth agape
In your greatest escape
And I was your perfect little metaphor
Somehow I’m sure
I’ll be buried here, in the written word before me
An author’s final story
This is your home
Where tombs house the dead alone
(Alone)
The hand that fails the wrist
Can’t let the body do its work
And should that hand become the fist
Fill it with a quill, it does the trick
That’s what you said to me
In our pasts tense
I’m your better half
I’ve been your author all along
And what lies written must come out
My love, my friend
Besides, don’t you wanna hear my song?

AUTHOR, CHAPTER II
(Music/Lyrics: Bucio/Mobarry)
“He’s the man with a pen and a plan
Standing over with wallops in hand
When all hope is lost, you’ll count all your costs
For these are the Tales of the Nebulous Man!”
The tales, tall tales - Nebulous Man!
You are not among the selfless
Closer now than I have
Closer now than I’ve been
"'The Tales of Nebulous Man, Volume Two' begins here, on the bridge of The Plight of Proxy..."

AUTHOR, CHAPTER III
(Music/Lyrics: Bucio/Gregg/Mobarry)
“Oh, lemme tell ya, you think YOU have a hard time with your significant other? Well, how about when you find out YOURS is an egotistical supervillain, bent on tearing a hole in the universe? Hard to beat, huh? Just lemme get some of this off my chest, will ya? If you don’t mind…”
Don’t you know
The look on my face is something to chase?
Don’t you know
When I knew your intellectual kiss
Would be something I’d miss
Don’t you know?
Here’s a list of the things I’m missing:
Not how you used to write
Ooh, but how you used to be right
Don’t you know
(How you used to be bright)
You can’t divide me, you don’t define me
You merely burn me
And I am lost, my body’s shakin’
And I’m having a good time
Sleeping through the alarm
Now the secret’s out
Everybody needs a little bit of
Something to forget about
When your patience is locked in, and clocked out
Everybody needs a little bit of
Something to forget about
So when the left seems right
And your thoughts drift in the night
Tell me how to feel the burn
From a sun that gives no light
Much more sensible than I
And you’ll quickly find out that he’s not that type of guy
Now I’m head of the class of sass
Are you listening?
And this is what he said:
Teach me to read and listen
(You’re not ready)
Can I learn to love or not yet?
My eyes have been through so many texts
That if I grabbed a new pen
I’d probably write ‘til I’m dead
Pages empty, stories plenty
“Now, if there’s one thing I know, a story like this one is no good one-sided, so might I offer you his perspective - but don’t say I didn't warn you first…”
And all I ever wanted was to be someone
He shook his head, and plainly said
There would be no help from anyone
And as I keep on marching through these fields of hell
I thought:
“I’m gonna give it to someone else”
Tell ‘em I’ll be lookin’ for someone else
Lookin’ for someone else
But who, but who?
Tell ‘em I’ll be lookin’ for someone else
Someone else
Tell ‘em I’ll be lookin’ for someone else
Someone else
Oh, give me the respect that I have coming
Or else I’ll…
I’ll be lookin’ for someone else
Tell ‘em I’ll be lookin’ for someone else
So to all the fears, and children’s tears
Of mine will fall away
Don’t fall out of line, just stay up on mine
The one thing we’ve got left to own us is time
No fun, let’s drink some blood
Don’t strike too fast, you’ll strike the master’s blade
All that I see, all that I fear
All that I hear
They say that love comes in bursts
That blood comes in streams
And if so, then what’s this water rushing over me?
(Isn’t this really something?
No? Then au revoir, and thanks for nothing)
“Now, in my part of town
There’s nobody around
Just some repetitive sounds
It’s where the teenagers drown
So when I crash to the ground
My place in history crowned
Watch the clocks all go down
And just say:
‘Go on, take a bite of me now’”
Tomes house the dead alone, girl
But you’re standing on your own, girl
What would you do if the universe stopped?
Go on, say goodbye to me now
In an alternate future, I’m forty and homeless
And that timeline travels the same rate as this one
So how, when the future collides with the present
Can I find the strength to love someone again?
I CAN’T
The answer is I WON’T
For you are not among the selfless
You are not among the selfless
I’m the one of which they speak
All rise for the entrance of my lord
The illusion of conclusion that defines us all
(Blood comes flowing from the stables)
Your last chance lies aboard the Plight of Proxy
Blood comes raining from the garden

AUTHOR, CHAPTER IV
(Music/Lyrics: Mobarry)
The porch was never bigger than it felt outside that night
It was hard to see your, your everything
But I could see my friends hush away and leave me be
The moment I was waiting for was waiting now on me
Making it strike and making it chime are two different things
She looked happier than I had ever seemed
Oh, how I long to be
So careless and free, baby
You were in love, you were in love
You don’t ever change
Don't ever change
Every night, you and me
We’d sit under the stars
And wonder why we are not going far
And if you get cold while you’re being alone
You can warm these old bones
The moment I was waiting for was waiting now on me
Making it strike and making it chime are two different things
She looked happier than I had ever seemed
You don’t ever change
The moment I was waiting for was waiting now on me
Making her smile and making her cry
Were constants in my, constants in my life
Every night, you and me
We’d sit under the stars
And wonder why we are not going far
This is your home
When I said “Fuck it,” I knew it was right
And the porch was never bigger than it felt outside that night

Where Stories Come From

AUTHOR, CHAPTER V
(Music/Lyrics: Bucio/Gregg/Mobarry)
You were wondering all the while
But boy, did you make me smile
Life is calling you back at home
Becomes anywhere we go
Anywhere you go, I’ll follow you
What would you do if the universe stopped?
What would you do if the universe stopped?
Tick tock, tick tock
What would you do if the universe stopped?
Ran out of time, ran its clock
Tick tock, tick tock
I’ll let you know when it sinks
I’ll let you know when it sinks
I’ll let you know when it sinks too deep, and
(Alive!) We’ve come so much closer
(Alive!) We breathe the rest of our lives
You better come around
Your story’s written down
You better come around
In the days that we’ve uncovered, we’re alone amongst ourselves
In the page that we’ve recovered here, a new beginning
Our dreams play out in sequence, a pitter-patter on piano keys
What would you do if the universe stopped?
I’m falling back on, on all I’ve ever known
But I’ll never be alone
I’ll let you know when it sinks
I’ll let you know when it sinks
I’ll let you know when it sinks too deep, and
(Alive!) We’ve come so much closer
We breathe the rest of our lives
You better come around
Your story’s written down
(Alive, we’ve come so much closer)
You better come around
“And I’m closer now, than I’ve ever felt!”
Yeah, tomorrow is today’s new home
Don’t leave me here all alone
When I’m falling back on all I’ve known
All along, this was my home
The closest I have ever been
