Harmonic Sign
03:32
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
You want a soul of virtue in this life you choose
All of these things that search you
Will not make you lose
On top of everything that you have looked upon
The twilight resonates and separates the dawn
To hustle in overdrive far down the line
Do what you can to survive, harmonic sign
So many places you are chasing all alone
It's the basis of the faces of your home
Right across the sky, time to signify
Always worth the try, what you can apply
Sweep away debris, your reality
Seek what you can see, claim your victory
To hustle in overdrive far down the line
Do what you can to survive, harmonic sign
So many places you are chasing all alone
It's the basis of the faces of your home
The faces of your own
The faces of your own
The faces of your own

Love Desolation
03:24
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
There's a lot of motion going through my mind
Now my soul is searching for what i might find
When will it be my time? Who's to say I'm due?
Everyone is out there, some are lonely too
Love desolation keeps me wondering why
My situation keeps on passing me by
It never dies
One two three four five six, seven eight nine ten
Hard to find the right fit, someone's lost again
Love desolation seems so high in the sky
This admiration seems to look in my eye
Love desolation, not the moment to cry
My proclamation, not your average guy
Now I see I need to find harmony, now I see
It is a two-way street, only way to go
Gotta work it both ways, that's when I will know
Love desolation keeps me wondering why
My situation keeps on passing me by
Love desolation seems so high in the sky
This inspiration seems to look in my eye
It never dies

Into The Night
03:46
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
So you think you've got your answer to be serious
It always has been so mysterious
I don't know what you like
So I'll just step aside into the night
So I heard you haven't gotten to the time of day
Still, you haven't gotten much left to say
I always keep in mind some things are left behind
And i stroll into the night
'Cause i'm searching for a light
To see the ocean through another view
All day long it wants me
Somehow it still haunts me
I want to know what's right
I want the things to satisfy
Roaming through the storm into the night
So you want the easy way to live a better life
You're running out of different ways to hide
I never understood, and never knew you would
Try to reach a higher height
As I stroll into the night
All I want to do is find something new
All day long it wants me
And somehow it still haunts me
I want to know what's right
I want the things to satisfy
Roaming through the storm into the night
I'm roaming through the storm into the night
All day long it wants me
And somehow it still haunts me
I want to know what's right
I want the things to satisfy
Roaming through the storm into the night
I'm roaming through the storm into the night
Roaming through the storm into the night

Isolate
04:10
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Gotta ride it solo even if it feels like slow-mo
Isolate along the way
On the way from somewhere
Chosen ones are all unaware
There's a home for them to stay
Every time I hear the song that is playing
It's all the magic that will never end
Can you understand what it is I'm saying?
Take it in the message I will send
From the pain of losing, to a beggar fit for choosing
Love the time I spend alone
Never thought of quitting
Always thinking of what's fitting
Do what I can on my own
Every time I hear the song that is playing
It's all the magic that will never end
Can you understand what it is I'm saying?
Take it in the message I depend
Feeling like I'm getting stronger
The independency is on my side
Moving on to what really matters to me
Now is not the, not the time to hide
Every time I hear the song that is playing
It's all the magic that will never end
Can you understand what it is I'm saying?
Take it in the message I will send
Every time I hear the song that is playing
It's all the magic that will never end
Can you understand what it is I'm saying?
Take it in the message I depend

Veteran Prospect
02:57
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
He's old inside his soul, been that way from beginning
He dared to go somewhere to keep his planet spinning
Serenading the unborn child
He's gonna hustle into the wild
We haven't got a clue what he's to do for disciplining
Among the old and wise, there's got to be a reason
He had to compromise some of
The things that please him
Looking over the underpass
To try a way that will everlast
You move ahead to simulcast the event of the season
The weight of all that's great will keep him operating
It beats the nosebleed seats the crowd is ventilating
Everyone will investigate
He'll see if he can communicate
We'll get a scout to recruit him
Despite his signs of aging
Among the old and wise, there's got to be a reason
He had to compromise some of
The things that please him
Looking over the underpass
To try a way that will everlast
You move ahead to simulcast the event of the season
Among the old and wise, there's got to be a reason
He had to compromise some of
The things that please him
Looking over the underpass
To try a way that will everlast
You move ahead to simulcast the event of the season

All Hail
03:58
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
You were the voice inside the head of teenage dreams
All that you've done is more important than it seems
Hearts are aching, nothing's making any sense at all
We're all confused by the way that you had to fall
Too many lessons to be learned
So many of us are concerned
All hail, the one who gave us promise
All hail, the one who helped to calm us
Say hello to heaven if you pass the black hole sun
It's a crying shame your time has come
When I was fourteen, I was driven by your voice
I knew from that point on, I had to make a choice
Adolescence caught the essence of my destiny
You helped to shape the person i was meant to be
Why did you have to take your life?
We would've helped you in your fight
All hail, the one who gave us promise
All hail, the one who helped to calm us
Say hello to heaven if you pass the black hole sun
It's a crying shame your time has come
All hail, the one who gave us promise
All hail, the one who helped to calm us
Say hello to heaven if you pass the black hole sun
It's a crying shame your time has come

When The Rhythm Comes In
03:51
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Goin' down, goin' down on my feet
Gotta get that rhythm goin'
Take a ride, take a ride in the street
Gotta get that music flowin'
We've got another way to
Get by when the rhythm comes in
All we want to do is get back from where we've been
What you want, and what you see
What you need to be so free
You may come and you may go
You may even take it slow
It's not you, and it's not me
It's not where we want to be
You've gotta get into a rhythm
Feel alive, feel alive in the heat
Movin' up and i feel it this time
Fly away, fly away with the fleet
Moving up through the mountains we climb
So many of us want to
Get by when the rhythm comes in
What we want to do it seems like it's such a sin
What you want, and what you see
What you need to be so free
You may come and you may go
You may even take it slow
It's not you, and it's not me
It's not where we want to be
You've gotta get into a rhythm
Now, you've gotta get into a rhythm
What you want, and what you see
What you need to be so free
You may come and you may go
You may even take it slow
It's not you, and it's not me
It's not where we want to be
You've gotta get into a rhythm
Yeah, you've gotta get into a rhythm
What you want, and what you see
What you need to be so free
You may come and you may go
You may even take it slow
It's not you, and it's not me
It's not where we want to be
You've gotta get into a rhythm
Now, you've gotta get into a rhythm
You've gotta get into a rhythm
Yeah, you've gotta get into a rhythm

The Inside Guide
04:01
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Through the thoughts within my mind
I gaze up and ahead
All the solace you can find
Feed what needs to be fed
Haven't got a car to ride
But I never go out of the concrete inside
The inside guide
Taking what I have to give in this life I live
Gaining everything I visualize tonight
See all the affirmation tracking all I see
Me deep in meditation tracking what's for me
Now the new age will begin
A new thought to supply
Little view for where I've been
So I can humanize
Gotta pay a price to grow
It's all part of a powerful feeling to go
That's what I know
Taking what I have to give in this life I live
Gaining everything I visualize tonight
See all the affirmation tracking all I see
Me deep in meditation tracking what's for me
See all the affirmation tracking all I see
Me deep in meditation tracking what's for me
For me, for me
See all the affirmation tracking all I see
Me deep in meditation tracking what's for me
See all the affirmation tracking all I see
Me deep in meditation tracking what's for me
For me, for me

Up And Down The Highway
04:20
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Up and down the highway
With all the places that we wanna go
Livin' off the backseat
And now I'm lookin' for a stone to throw
Drivin' down the valley
But now I'm thinkin' that it looks as though
Times are getting warmer
As it moves into the afterglow
Moving from town to town to find a living end
With all the energy and money that we'll spend
You have to find a reason why it takes so long
It doesn't matter when you have done nothing wrong
Up and down the highway
With all the places that we wanna know
Livin' off the backseat, and now I'm fallin' like a domino
Drivin' up the mountain, it's so easy to let it overflow
Up and down the highway
As it moves into the afterglow
Gazing the scenery to find a way to live
Looking at what you have from what you've got to give
The world is moving, and you'll have to follow suit
Results are based on the nature of your commute
Traveling for this fleet with more than meets the eye
Leaving to bind the keys, and find a reason why
Some say the road is long, it always takes awhile
Seems like the hardest thing to do is go the mile
Up and down the highway
With all the places that we wanna go
Livin' off the backseat, and now I'm fallin' like a domino
Drivin' down the valley
But now I'm thinkin' that it looks as though
Times are getting warmer
As it moves into the afterglow

Movement
04:10
|

Words and music by Nolan Randall
You haven't got the will to make it
All of your worries comes around
No way you're gonna wanna fake it
Gotta stand your ground
It takes a long time to discover
Try to be patient in control
Look everywhere to find a lover
Gotta free your soul
There's something in your eyes I have never seen
It's hard to recognize where you've never been
You've got to realize what comes in between
The world won't sympathize, so you must be clean
Seems like society is falling
They haven't got a fucking clue
You know for sure that it's your calling
What you have to do
There's something in your eyes I have never seen
It's hard to recognize where you've never been
You've got to realize what comes in between
The world won't sympathize, so you must be clean
Yeah, clean
Time to move on from where you started
Don't waste the space in your own life
Forever you'll be open hearted
And it feels alright
There's something in your eyes I have never seen
It's hard to recognize where you've never been
You've got to realize what comes in between
The world won't sympathize, so you must be clean

Always Go Deep
04:11
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
I'm going through the ocean in the sky
To look around for what I'm yearning
All the while I'm trying to get by
Someone's out there longing to reply
She's hiding in the land of wonder
Just like me, she's dying to get high
What I know on where to go
I wanna go home
Where I need to be
Won't you comfort me
Whatever brought me here will surely clear the fear
I said, I wanna go home
It's something that I want to try and find
Though I might have to toll my losses
Anything to give me peace of mind
Hoping that the stars will be aligned
To find a woman I'll relate to
So that we can treat each other kind
What I know on where to go
I wanna go home
Where I need to be
Won't you comfort me
See what I can see
Time to set me free
Whatever brought me here will surely clear the fear
I said I wanna go home
What I know on where to go
I wanna go home
Where I need to be
Won't you comfort me
See what I can see
And time to set me free
Whatever brought me here will surely clear the fear
I said, I wanna go home
I gotta go home
I gotta go home
I said, I gotta go home

Better Place
03:22
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
All in all, what we need is covered out there
On the wall, from the lies we see everywhere
Big or small, many things we need to prepare
Hear the call, of the people we want to spare
What is true? What are we to do?
View the border, new world order
Lost in a fall from grace
Make the motion, state the notion
We need a better place
In the street, silent people carry no weight
Feel the heat, of the foolish world they create
Take a seat, wait for this to all dissipate
Friends we meet, look for something to celebrate
Walking through Parkdale Avenue
View the border, new world order
Lost in a fall from grace
Make the motion, state the notion
We need a better place
View the border, new world order
Lost in a fall from grace
Make the motion, state the notion
We need a better place
View the border, new world order
Lost in a fall from grace
Make the motion, state the notion
We need a better place

Same Game
03:30
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
All cards on the table, fill it up this time
A way to read between the lines
You're willing and able, counting every dime
Ignoring all the warning signs
Never enough to call your bluff to make it
Winners are losers when you abuse to take it
It's all the same when you play your game
And you refuse to fake it
We've got a stranger on the rise
See all of your winnings, how they make you feel
You're thinking of another deal
Recall your beginnings, spinning like a wheel
No matter what they're gonna steal
Never enough to call your bluff to make it
Winners are losers when you abuse to take it
It's all the same when you play your game
And you refuse to fake it
We've got a stranger on the rise
Never enough to call your bluff to make it
Winners are losers when you abuse to take it
It's all the same when you play your game
And you refuse to fake it
We've got a stranger on the rise

The Essence We Embrace
03:51
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
It's a resurrection in the right direction
All has been forgiven, no more will be hidden
Celebrate the greatness, chariot awaits us
Throw away the wreckage, formulate the message
Soul of the human race to overthrow the waste
Far from the strangest place, the essence we embrace
In a world of wonder, we awake our slumber
Magnify our vision, make a pure decision
Trash left without a trace to make for better space
Praise all that has some grace
The essence we embrace
When we're in dire straits, we'll cut right to the chase
Can't find a fitter case, the essence we embrace
Elevate the worthy, medicate our mercy
Cue the sound of honour, wine was made from water
Soul of the human race to overthrow the waste
Far from the strangest place, the essence we embrace
When we're in dire straits, we'll cut right to the chase
Praise all that has some grace, the essence we embrace
The essence we embrace

Karma Slave
03:07
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Karma slave seems like he's moving
For something he might get
He knows everything that's brewing
Before he'll place a bet
Think he might give up the game
Because what he does makes him feel insane
All alone in the jungle looking for an answer
He doesn't give up that easily
'Cause he's not the same as you and me
Driven to lengths of society
There are no misfortunes he shall foresee
'Cause he's a karma slave by his own choice
He's a karma slave, it's his own voice
He's a karma slave, he'll make some noise
A karma slave, a karma slave
Nothing made him wonder why
He never did the opposite
He did more for you and I than
He ever would even admit
Sometimes he will doubt the cause
Because what he hears is not an applause
Never moving enough to call himself a dancer
He doesn't give up that easily
'Cause he's not the same as you and me
Driven to lengths of society
There are no misfortunes he shall foresee
'Cause he's a karma slave by his own choice
He's a karma slave, it's his own voice
He's a karma slave, he'll make some noise
A karma slave, a karma slave
He doesn't give up that easily
'Cause he's not the same as you and me
Driven to lengths of society
There are no misfortunes he shall foresee
'Cause he's a karma slave by his own choice
He's a karma slave, it's his own voice
He's a karma slave, he'll make some noise
A karma slave, a karma slave

Smoker's Coat
03:10
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
It's a weird aroma on your winter coat
All the people want to manifest an anecdote
Get a pack of Belmonts, it's an addiction
There are some that want to
Give you their own depiction
You've got a way of dealing
With the trouble in your life
Caffeine and nicotine may help you on your ride
They smell a scent and feel that
You are among the lower class
The way of disarray may fall into the past
Alright, you light right outside the entry
Ok, they may say it's elementary
Take care, beware, what you have become
You know, although you're not the only one
Take a look ahead now for what you'll endure
Gotta find a reason to be mindful of a cure
You admit an odour on your jacket stench
What you have to do is
Look for something that will quench
All these years you have found out
The person you're meant to be
The roads and all the loads you carry to be free
It's not a reflection of the habit you have to form
Truth told you're not so bold
It's only clothes you've worn
Alright, you light right outside the entry
Ok, Gordie, ahead by a century
They say you'll pay all in the long run
You know, although you're not the only one
Alright, you light right outside the entry
Ok, Jose, jealous ones still envy
They say you'll pay, damage that you've done
You know, although you're not the only one
You know, although you're not the only one

Virgin Lungs
03:27

Words and music by Nolan Randall & Terry Reid
All these clowns all over the place
Looking for another soul to erase
Why should they all be in our face?
Uninspired with what they embrace
Hard to mend in a world that's cold
So much bullshit we've been told
Not as good as the days of old
How will all of this shit unfold?
Blind to the lives of the people around
Forcing it all into the ground
Showcasing a terrible sound
Waiting for the day when we're homeward bound
Never thought it would come to this
But I can't help but reminisce
Thinking of the days of Mr. Swiss
And now it's easy to dismiss
Well, you can not deny it
And we will not be quiet
Well, you can not deny it
And we will not be quiet
Seems like it's all one big joke
We fell asleep while they awoke
The field has all gone up in smoke
Feed the broke before you stroke the choke
Take a long trip down memory lane
Substance was not hard to obtain
After all, we couldn't complain
Now we feel like we're goin' insane
Another way for you to vent
When you wish a prime min was the president
Far from being heaven sent
Hope the worst, it will circumvent
Progress seems so far away
Gotta try to wait another day
Media outlets and the people they prey
They don't care what the people say
Well, you can not deny it
And we will not be quiet
Well, you can not deny it
And we will not be quiet
Let's figure out why they're all so bad
Having faith that it's a passing fad
Day by day it seems more sad
To make it real, they need to be mad
The front of the line just sounds so fake
Sounding like shit is a piece of cake
They don't give a fuck about what they make
As long as they've got money to take
History has seen this before
What we take in should not be a chore
Don't wanna hear this anymore
No interest in what they have in store
Word of advice if you're running the show
You need to hear something you already know
Deteriorating the status quo
Will not give the people room to grow
Well, you can not deny it
And we will not be quiet
Well, you can not deny it
And we will not be quiet

Real shit

Roundhouse Song
04:22
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
There's a place that you can go
See some people that you know
Where you will never feel alone
All the brewers never stop
Fill the tank right to the top
Filtration gets into the zone
And when you hear the bottling line
From sunrise to sunset
You'll see them working overtime
Doing it all every step
Welcome to the roundhouse, enough to go around
Meet me at the roundhouse
You're lost, but now you're found
From the wonders of team clean
To the events we have seen
The working class gets a reward
Friendly service of retail
Expectations are prevailed
And then you check into the store
And when you see the trucks on the road
They gotta distribute the dream
The office carries quite the load
It's not as easy as it seems
Welcome to the roundhouse, enough to go around
Meet me at the roundhouse
You're lost, but now you're found
Now you're found
Welcome to the roundhouse, enough to go around
Meet me at the roundhouse
You're lost, but now you're found
Now you're found
Say hello to the good beer folks
Different people have different strokes
The fifth ingredient, well worth the time that's spent
A vintage pilsner recipe, always a cold one next to me
Do one thing really well, the whistle rings the bell
New accounts from the sales reps
Getting it done step by step
They always like to set the tone
Someone has to fill the kegs
Move around on their own legs
To pay for the place they call home
And when you see the canning line
From sunrise to sunset
You'll see them working overtime
Gotta go for what they'll get
Welcome to the roundhouse, enough to go around
Meet me at the roundhouse
You're lost, but now you're found
Now you're found
Welcome to the roundhouse, enough to go around
Meet me at the roundhouse,
You're lost, but now you're found
Now you're found
