Moksha 03:16
we are to bloom into the holy mess of knots in our stomach let go of the rope that holds us above what we don't know (but we want to) we were meant to swim; children of the heat and wet, some pads on the pond... breathe belly out with love in eyes, if we can even see at all... ...my heart unhinged; this year, I've seen three fathers die and i wonder why i haven't talked to mine, bring me peace and confidence and strength for whats next... ...at the end of main street there is a church from five generations before and everyone we know has lined the sidewalks with clapped hands and red palms... cheering on... ...formal white noise it's a beautiful day! "new day rising" its time to say goodbye but I'm not ready to die i'm not ready to die but I am not afraid we are running along we are running as fast as we can fuck, it's a beautiful day headed to the dreaded westward up hill battle, beyond the mountains; nothing guiding me to a light in the sky with safety or certainty its just you ampersand i just keep me from the black lung pallbearer waiting at the end of my casket staring wide eyed deer bright keep trying to understand why we keep counting our steps...

Vidya 01:42
my blood, when you come to a crossroads look below your feet aware of the soil and how it got there breathe peaceful positive and hopeful keep the candle burning... one day we will all be washed from the land where we bury the dead, our seeds, our waste to build our homes one day we might be abandoned by the rain, ocean and icebergs "Evening sun recedent Set my resting vow Hold in open heart" transcendental: transient ineffable passive nous "all died yesterday today and will die again tomorrow" rise above the rubble: educate....

Kama 02:34
". . . . . . . . I thought I heard" the raptured sound of your voice i've tasted the honey that falls from the hive veins ruptured at the ends ripple effecting while i'm lifted up -steam- upstream; i can still hear your call body of light take me to this place where we're reborn; embraced by a sound unconditional my body craves but i feel full all the time the ocean, it cleans the stones in our hands, in our little crowns wipe the dead skin and scorn from our faces keep control of our selves remember when it was easy? settle down and tell my self "I Love A Woman (Who Loves Me)" breathe.... breathe....

about

"solo artist who really knows how to craft some interesting heavy guitar work. " - Prog Metal Zone (www.progmetalzone.com)

"Fake Drums pulls no punches, ripping through time signatures and riffs as Lucio’s vocals tear across the top. Heavily distorted guitars duel off, held together by fantastically intricate drumming and meaty, thudding basslines. It crests effortlessly on a wave of feedback straight from one track to the next, making the EP feel like a single cohesive work." - NIALL WARD-O'BRIEN from FECKING BAHAMAS
