Mark Walter This is one of the most interesting groups musically. Some hints of Zappa, Rush, King Crimson and Yes. Along with Twigs unique time signatures, incredible vocal harmonies and the finest musicianship you’ll find anywhere.

Wu Wei 02:35
Will I search for the tracks Of the elephant Where there are none? Or will I recognize There is nothing to meditate upon? There are some who think The meditative state is a drug to take Swathed in the naked awareness Life’s light is radiant
2.
True World 04:04
If one was inclined to manage terror They’d choose a recompensive theory And discuss truer worlds They’d contrive arrogant sayings Like permanence exists because God’s perceiving And they’d trust that causes aren’t deceiving Can the secondary qualities they sense tell them about the true world? If one could know about Noumena they’d know something excessive And feign to know something at all If pain is a growth mechanism It was placed in this beautiful garden And then the garden was forgotten Can the secondary qualities they sense tell them about the true world?
3.
Pursuit 03:47
On a razor’s edge Between apathy and energy What will you choose? The path is covered in thorns Adapt to traverse To fail is to grow To lose is to learn Precious essence of the fourth dimension Unsolicited ambivalence A victim of circumstance Humanity breeds creation A secular device of expression To fail is to grow To lose is to learn Precious essence of the fourth dimension
4.
All things are part of Endless arrays And I detect them as objects Who should I venerate? Everyone’s ideas are spurious somehow
5.
In the agora I can be seen Cuddling with nobody I conversate with my delusion She rests her head on my chest While I’m consumed with regret In my tub I reminisce About Jezebel I hate everybody else But not Jezebel
6.
Blueshift 02:35
The red advances Relativistically towards me Odyssey-like, it enhances The perception of an opportunity A crimson forthcoming Imminently viridescent Impossibly swift Ephemeral and transitory What does it prove In this imaginative ether Dilating time To mystify the perceiver
7.
Get away from my hydrothermal vent right now Well your analogy, it lacks the synthesis I need to comprehend; You hypocrite! I must obtain carbon from this gas So I can feed my host Pharisee, what do you need to believe? Oh wise man of little faith
8.
Genesis 03:05
Disappointment is inevitable But misery is optional I come undone I am no one I have become My creation Sentimentalization Of days long gone I am the pawn A sacrifice To make them strong
9.
Condemned to be free One must imagine Sisyphus happy Extrinsic properties don’t define me ‘Cause existence precedes essence Act only to that maxim Whereby you can will that it should Become a universal law
10.
My mirror neurons, they placed Importance on your actions So I thought we’d play a game But you don’t know how to play Well you’re no empath and I’ve come to hate you Well I feel like a rat who’s been Pinned more than 70% Of the time by you Why would I initiate play with you? When the adder bites my neck I’ll thank him For waking me to journey onward His poison is fatal but will I, A dragon, die from a serpent’s bite?
11.
Dasein 05:02
Being is contingent upon The world and the world is Dependent on being Modern technology is alienating me From what it means to be “I shall enslave the world That has created me And neglect my potential” A puzzled man created a term To describe the contingency He called it “Dasein” It keeps tormenting me every waking hour I think incessantly I fear a padded room Is in my destiny If I keep repeating, “I am Dasein”
