New Beginnings have come, they emerge from the shuttle one by one after spending those years just waiting for arrival And now they're here After leaving that desolate planet all those years ago For now they are here They gather round the square no longer they feel fear For now they are here For it's a new beginning They step through these plains No longer they're blamed for what they left behind (for what they left behind) for what they left behind (for what they left behind) Now they're here

My ATV 03:28
"The electro-magnetic fields that surround these plains are getting worse, creating catastrophe and catastrophe, killing thousands..." And maybe there’s a guy who I thought had a flyer But I burnt his car I set fire to his log cabin in the woods And maybe this will start some controversy but I don’t care But I don’t care I really don’t care what the people think As long as I’m here Here with my Here with my Here with my Seven-string ATV My ATV My ATV The magnetic fields are getting worse They blow up and ruin my internal organs They wipe out all my farmland But as I think about those places I realize I don’t really care Cause I got my ATV Seven-string Double-seat I got my ATV And nothing really matters Warning this is a catastrophe Nothing’s ever gonna be the same again But I got my ATV As tornadoes surround me I realize it doesn’t really matter Cause I got my ATV! Seven-string That’s all I really need!!! ATV ATV ATV You please me ATV ATV You please me.

I Thought So 01:57
I Thought So! I Thought So! It ruptured through the wall If I could Talk to myself in a unfamiliar voice I'd be alright, I'd be alright People call me self centered Yet I don’t care about what anyone else thinks of me I wish I could pull back this lever Leading me back in time To when everything wasn’t such a mess You and I Are one in the same You and I Are always the same You and I are one in the same You and I are always the same I'd be alright, I'd be alright I'd be alright, I'd be alright (I thought so, I thought so) I'd be alright, I'd be alright

Find me in my field of grass You Know Where I Am I smashed a bottle on my head The blood rolls down right from my head I survive the smash, I survive the crash I fall down the stairs, I break my back I’ll wake up in the morning and I’ll walk across the street and I can’t find Where I am But you know where I am I may find myself it’ll take some time, but the sea levels rise to my knees It may be ephemeral, it could be eternal As you can see I can’t find m-meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (meeeeee) (look for the one that’s not there) Flaming wreckage points to real design, points to twenty percent off at the Dollar Tree and what does that even mean The future is bleak now I see as I understand how pointless this futile world can be and your alacrity won't save me And I can’t find where I am But you know where I am I may find myself it’ll take some time, but the sea levels rise to my knees It may be ephemeral, it could be eternal As you can see I can’t find m-meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, but it's meaningless to me (meeeeee) (am I Tree? I am a clothing hanger supreme) M-meeeeeeeeeee (seeeeeee) (look across the way what do you see?) Oh meeeeeeeeeee (meeeeeeeee) (This is life but it's meaningless to me) I cant find as hard as I look, as far as I see I can’t find Meeeeeeeeeee Where Am I (meeeeeee) Where Am I Me

Miss a time when all the things were in it's place, and I would like to take out all your organs and stuff them in a heavy glass jar and phase time and space But I would never do that to you, even though I have the urge to You are the one that's keeping me sane, making me see things in that way To prove my point And I'm gonna take you and we'll fly over this wasteland in the sky Past the houses down below, there the moon will glow Past the planets all around, we won't have to touch the ground To prove my point And through this world, the flight will be Our reality, you and me, but we won't bother what's been gone for so long, oh so long, the remains, of that broken, dismantled place visions of the future that stayed, and possessed that once joyful race To prove my point And I'm gonna take you and we'll fly over this wasteland in the sky Past the houses down below, there the moon will glow Past the planets all around, we won't have to touch the ground To prove my point They've all said I'm stuck in my head, I haven't seen reality, but I'm free I have seen. I have seen. But they're not free, they're not free, I am free! And I don't wish to steal your organs, why would I anyway? I wish to see the present, as it lies before us today to prove my point, we will see

My One Dollar Bill and me Traveling across the sea We’re riding to a place Where nothing’ll bother us My One Dollar Bill and I In a world across the sky We’re flying to a place Above the clouds My best friend, one dollar bill I don’t need a soul when I’m traveling with a friend My friend, My one dollar bill

Canons start fire at the moon, shoots flames And I wanted to feel the same Ever thought Ever stopped and thought where is the way We used to be Cause it’s brought through our senses Brought through a message Brought through our eyelids all in the dust But I want to know Where did we go? The Constructive Coalition is bringing this message Through your speakers Unleash Unleash the beast Un-knight the beast Thoughts I have had, thoughts I’ve been glad to stop and think about Happiness was, happiness is Thought about Through the message Through a message in the woods Through our eyelids all covered in All covered in the sap of the trees Where we lie beneath to hide The Constructive Coalition has ordered this message Stare through the message It’s brought through the forest And I will digress Enough to change our minds To think what’ll rise To stop and wonder what is true and what is a lie I’ve searched and it’s all been a lie We can’t make a compromise Now we come out here to hide Oh unleash Unleash the beast Unleash the beast Unleash Unleash the beast

The Day When My Guitar Stops Strumming, the People will all stop screaming, the world will understand our meaning, but we’ll all fall From the towers we’ll fall From the houses that burn But who’s that guy in the corner of the room writing down past ideas, the ideas we discarded all those years ago, when we saw into the future to see, when my guitar stops strumming!!! The Day When My Guitar Stops Strumming, we’ll all see The things that we wished we could return to in the past but now we’re here To enter into the future Now we’re ready For now it’s time The lanterns that illuminate our path That take us back To what we see What it could be The Day When My Guitar Stops Strumming, we’ll all see The things that weeeee wished we could return to in the past but now we’re here To enter into the future Now we’re ready For now it’s time And I wish I could return back to those past memories Experience them once again But the future is here We will not return The past has passed For we are now here The Day when my guitar stops strumming, The world will fall apart, it’ll stop yet start the beginning of this new time This new time This new time This new time This new time

You sent me to go find your friend You sent me to find him. You said he was at the store. I looked for him everywhere but I couldn’t find him. So I went to buy some oranges instead. I went to buy some for my health And it seemed I dropped them on the floor On the floooooooooooooooooooor Then they looked up at me And this is what they had to saaaay: I want your money now (we want your money now) Give me your money now (Give us your money now) Give us your moooneeey (Give us your moneeeeeey) Fun Bun Fun!

Sit and watch as the clock ticks by I thought I knew you I knew a lie That's the one right there I can't move past The times elapsed I've been searching long and hard (Fine, I will leave again and then hide) I feel lost all the time (Fly, lies of deconstructing my mind) But I know they'll be a map in time, that'll show me where I'll go (Design, the ground that is attracting the find) I might see a world in which I'm fine, where I'm not trapped in my mind (Fine, I'll have to stay trapped in my mind) Don't, don't realize, the lake below I'm searching through the water flow See the water pass and I have to know Why I can't feel the water drip behind (I am fine, as long as I am falling slow, slow behind) Why I can’t say all the things on my mind (And I am fine, as long as you're not fine) Why I can’t seem to match to words to say (I’m fine, can you believe I spent this time?) Why you said goodbye, to live a lie (This time believing you, it’s true my belief is under the ground, my belief is lost) I've seen this world, I've seen how it can collapse on me (I am fine, as long as you’re not fine, I’m fine) I've seen this tangled mess of things (I can’t break away from this way I was) A panel and a box that cross the bay out on docks (I am fine, believe me when I say I'm fine, but I'm not really fine) Just light the fuse and walk away, just light the fuse and walk away, just walk away now (I crossed the line, the line between what's real and not) It's ok, I'm walking, walking to find a spot to keep on walking (The world that's not is coming forth) While you're there, while I'm there, I'll realize, realize, it'll be just fine (it's corrupted me, I'm fine as long as you're not fine) Or who was I? (I'm fine, believe me when I say I'm fine, but I'm not really fine) Just walk away into your mind (I took this as, I took this as a sign of why) And I can see this teaser, this brain teaser (I am trapped in my own mind) I'm trapped in my mind (I'm trapped in my mind)

I had a sudden realization in which I was a spaceman and I could walk on Mars and everything The people always told me that there would be nothing beyond here where I had spawned I had a sudden realization where there was more than this ruined nation But people shot me down, they threw me to the ground they left me in the dust with my ridden dream So the days go by the nights come and fly the sun stops to shine and everything Everyday it’s colder and now I’m much older as they drive past the shoulder I am no longer a holder of this ruined a dream of mine I know I was meant for more, the world it’s old and poor and only I know there’s more And now I sit and think of what I would’ve been it still disappoints me and I wish could’ve done something with that realization as I sit back in anguish and think about what was So I wake up everyday another lousy day back at my lousy job But now I know it’s too late Maybe they’ll from my mistakes I don't know I don't know nobody knows I had a sudden A sudden realization A sudden realization

Don't Decide 02:40
See it in my eyes That I don’t wanna be here See it in my eyes That I don’t wanna be hereeee I don’t know why you’d think I’d like to be here But as you can tell, I don’t wanna be here Take off your disguise See it in my eyes See it in my eyesssss But don’t deci-hi-hi-ide Don’t decide But don’t Decide I can’t let you know And it’s time, it’s time to go But don’t decide Oh don’t decide Don’t look back on what you left behind And don’t decide And maybe I’ll know what it’s like to be a human But today is not that day Today is time to stop your whining and see it in my eyes And don’t decide Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ah

My understanding is they have another plan A plan to overcome and rip out all the sand From the land Of the beach And the special song they sing Is about a man in a house in a factory Oh and this is what they warned us about They need our help This is our contribution to the evolution of the institution to the future of mr. moth in science And they need our help (mr moth) This is what they warned us about (science) This is what will go down in history as our contribution to the evolution of the institution of the revolution of the domination from the allegation to the tribulation of the celebration to the future of mr. moth in science in science in science in science in science in science

Time Machine 03:22
You were thinking from afar And I was looking from my car For my car keys I dropped them in between the seat And I'm finding it hard to breathe And I'm finding it hard to stay believed By myself, myself And I can't look out into the beyond anymore without thinking to myself about-bout thinking to myself The time machine is calling me It's telling me to find, find the time machine But I find it hard to breathe When I take control of the time machine When I look around at the change in scenery When they take this message as received Once I find the time machine All the problems might fade away Those obligations of the day When I steer the time machine All I can see I won't have to be Locked by the fear that I might break free of simplicity Of a change that sparks a movement in the central nervous system I'm fine with this simplitcity, why does it even have to change? I can change it in my time machine But I find it hard to see When I'm livin' in my time machine When I find my time machine They'll be no one to intervene But I find it hard to stay sane In my town that's gone to flames And I find it hard to breathe To breathe in a time machine When I have to watch from in between And though I get to see that time It isn't even truly mine Don't feel Don't feel It's not real You must conceal All that you can keep deep inside Keep it deep inside

The Pen 00:59
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3) Now it's time to open up the bunker doors Now it's passed the war We've been in here so many years Protected by our friend the pen Protected by our friend the pen, till the end!
17.
Look in the light as it shines through the crack in the shades Reflecting on the pictures in the picture frames They line the wall, containing things you're glad to recall And you awake at last And this is the daaaaaaaay The Day Awaits You And this is that day Everyday is your day To get up and go Walk out the door Walk through the world that holds The futures you'll see The places you'll be The life that you'll lead Because this day awaits you Traverse through Unknown mysteries We don't know what they'll be, but you will see Follow along this path that leads somewhere But we don't know the somewhere That's up to you to find As the world, it passes by And the stars in the sky The universe that expands in our eye And the day awaits you And everyday is the day To go and find the place The place you make your space The life you make and shape And I know there's a lot to say on this matter so I'll cut right to the chase The day awaits you The journey awaits you And the day awaits you And today is now that day Everyday is the day Everyday is the day Time to begin the day (this is only the beginning) Time to begin this day (this is only the beginning) And we’ll see each other again, as the world passes by (this is now the beginning) (we'll meet again through time and space) This is not goodbye (new beginnings have come) (I think it’ll be ok) (a life is awaiting) Yes we’ll see each other again (this is now the beginning) (we'll meet again through time and space) (a life awaits you) No, this is not goodbye (this is not goodbye)

about

FIIR.001

My first album, the culmination of a year and a half's work of writing, recording and producing...it's finally here. This album has been in the works for so long it's such an eerie feeling no longer recording for it, as it's been such a big part of my life for so long. This album deals with a vast complex of different topics, from turning into an orange to realizing you've failed on all your hopes in dreams, this album is definitely a mix of different emotions. The album focuses heavily on the passage of time and my struggle to accept that its passing is obviously out of my hands. Over the last year and a half a lot has changed. Being in a pandemic had us all locked in doors, where I would write songs every day. Most of which, obviously did not end up on the album, but these songs progressed and weighed on my feelings of the life we were currently in. Being inside made me really nostalgic for the past, as it did to most people. Longing for the simpler times. Through that feeling I wrote many of these tracks which would become "Abused Wristwatches", the title being a nod to clocks and the passage of time (at one point there was gonna be a song on the album called Clocks, but I never finished it!). This album has helped me a lot to focus on the present and not dwell on what I miss. I hope you enjoy this first slice into my future musical endeavors. Enjoy. Thanks.
