Day Zero 04:04
Born in a town so far west, nobody could hear me cry. Reared in a world of incest, nobody can let it's beauty lie. Found in a town called inside, nobody can say its word. Speech is a way to blindside, I get all my wisdom from the birds. I've found and answer to the why I see it floating in the sky, I say hello to it and then it says goodbye. I've found an answer to your sigh I see it falling from your eye, I see it crashing down and turning in to ice. I've found an answer to the night into the moon the sun is bright, Into the sun is an infinity of light. I've found an answer to this life, I'll reconfirm and verify it when I die. Follow the only rythm that is content with thee. Follow the only ism that'll let you be. And if you find yourself in prison without a hope or key. Shut your mouth up and listen the truth will set you free. And I know what it is, that makes me feel like this. A Universal kiss, a taste of mother natures lips. And I know what I am, I am the masterplan. I am free where where I stand, a consequence of the big bang. And I know what to do, I'll send my love to you. Just let it into you like happiness turns into blues. And I know what it takes, don't need no fairycakes. It's true I'll make mistakes but I will learn from them in grace.

Back home, I was turning just 19. First year out of college, got no hopes, got no dreams. Out East, you can't get no goddamn sleep. She grabs by the spirit and says you're coming with me. Out West, I was doing just my best. First out to work but I can't get her off my chest. In New York, they turn night into day. But if you live without the night your days will become grey. So you say, that you know, when you know that you don't. So you say, Oh Woah, I don't know, sometimes I think it's all a show. Oh woah oh, and we're all part of a game. Oh woah, I don't know, sometimes I think it's all a show. Oh woah oh, and the stunt man insane. Turn left, she's already gone right. She'll leave you feeling cold and in the middle of the night. You turn right, she'll already gone wrong. Sometimes so wrong all you can do is sing it in a song. I don't know, but you must enjoy the show, People going crazy just ain't fun without some blow. So relax, life is but a dream. But sometimes your shit fucks up and it makes you wanna scream. So you scream, that you know, when you know that you don't. Ah yeah.

Come on everyone see that you've got to be free like me. I know what you can do and that's relax. I know that you can't see me that is craving or attaching thee. Sure is putting a smile on me and that's a fact. Woah. I know what you can do sit down on that lonely stool. Close your eyes and just be cool and soon you'll see. That everything's okay with you but fossil fuel will not renew. Give a trial to this one rule, equanimity. Lay down your armoury, this ain't horashima. Turn off technology, it is disturbin' ya. Your wheel it is in speed but it's too fast for ya. I got a new technique it is Vipassana. I got a new technique and it will last for ya.

Gone Away. Gone Away. Gone Away. Gone Away.

I am standing on a mountain top, and this is it. I am sitting on a bed of rocks, and this is it. I am standing on a mountain, and this is it. I am sitting on a mountain, and this is it. I am pouring like a fountain, and this is it. I am old but I'm not countin', and this is it. I am seeing through the conscious bind, and this is it. I am knowing but I don't know why, and this is it. I am something out of nothing and this is it. I am toing and froing and this is it. I am possibly just coding and this is it. I am ageing very slowly and this is it. I am moving with an endless sky, and this is it. I am dieing and I cannot hide, and this is it. I am standing on a mountain and this is it. I do think it looks outstanding and this is it. I was looking for the answer but this is it. I'm eroding with the glacier and this is it.

Is there someone there or am I paranoid? Am I crazy or did I just hear a noise? Maybe it's the neighbours or a new age droid. Maybe I'm just empty and I need to full the void. It's funny how we change upon the test of time. Peculiar how we change when we have too much wine. You put your glasses on and you forget to whine. Morning comes and nothings fun you want to catch a ride. Somewhere out of here. Somewhere there's a place where there's no fear. Where everything is right and night is day. There's nothing you can say that makes me want to stay round here. Is there someone there or am I on my own? Am I crazy or did I just hear the phone? Maybe it's the weather or a new age drone. Maybe if I'm quiet they will leave me on my own. Because it's funny how we change when we're in company. I wish my projection to make me feel like I am free. If I put my headset on will you just let me be. I'll sing along with Joni and she'll sing along with me. Here now it's clear we've been living with fear. And it's time to let go let me tell you my dear. We appear like the moon but we're capable soon. Of conserving the light that will not leave us doomed. Lets give it a try for the stars in the sky. That are lightyears about but we'll make it someday. And forget all the past because it never lasts. Like a tree in the forrest we are going down fast.

about

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting. This is a new idea for a collaboration project. To make music by myself is something, but to share the process with others is fulfilling, fun and interesting.

So the Imaginal Cells are and will be anyone who's interested in being one. From people I've known for a long time to those I've yet to meet.

This time round I'd like to thank my former Homeless Mafia band members for their spontanious contributions to make this album something that's not only close to my heart but also, in my opinion, a good listen!

Enjoy the music and have an equanimous day. :)
