Karmic Load 03:10
lyrics
buy track
KARMC LOAD You tried to dump your karmic load And now you see it coming back to you Thought you could escape your acts Now you see them coming back as facts To you. And you tried to hide, but you failed To see what it all entailed. And still you tell yourself lies that you believe And feel so hurt and feign surprise to get reprieve. You tried to dump your karmic load And now you see it coming back to you Thought you could escape your acts Now you see them coming back as facts To you. And you tried to hide, but you failed To see what it all entailed. And still you tell yourself lies that you believe And feel so hurt and feign surprise to get reprieve.

Dragon Spell 05:17
lyrics
buy track
DRAGON SPELL A Dragon spell has come this winter People know, but cannot see Darkness creeps across the river Where it goes there's misery. Negativity unfolds in the branches of midnight trees Can you feel its strong, cold spirit breeze? Negativity unfolds in the lives of a sleeping soul It's better if it cannot gain its hold It's better if it cannot gain its hold. How can I help to feed a dragon, Or must we make war on his home? Action must be taken very quickly, Light goes out beneath his deadly foam. Negativity unfolds in the ranches of midnight trees Can you feel its strong, cold spirit breeze? Negativity unfolds in the lives of a sleeping soul It's better if it cannot gain its hold It's better if it cannot gain its hold. It's better if it cannot gain its hold.

The Pressure's On 06:16
lyrics

THE PRESSURE'S ON Don't dare look back behind you and don't look up ahead Don't bother to listen to what that newsman said It cannot help you to call up on the phone When something happens the pressure's on, The pressure's on. So much pressure in the daytime That you feel it all night long, So much pressure in the day time Makes you want to seek where you belong. Infinite realities stretch endlessly away You can't deny the one your mind holds today We must remember that some things are yet to come And by our decisions produce our own freedom. So much pressure in the daytime, That you feel it all night long, So much pressure in the day time Makes you want to seek where you belong. Up in the ethereal dimensions of time It doesn't matter if there's notes or if there's rhyme All fates keep turning out sublime, Yes they're sublime. So much pressure in the daytime, That you feel it all night long, So much pressure in the day time Makes you want to seek where you belong. Have you known many lovely people Whose parents so carefully have fed Society, and religion for the head. So much pressure in the daytime, That you feel it all night long, So much pressure in the day time Causes you to seek where you belong.

How's Your View? 03:24
lyrics
buy track
HOW'S YOUR VIEW? Through beautiful vapor trails the jets keep flying to All the Earth's cities linking The ancient and the new. People keep traveling in their business and their haste Conspire and refrain from thinking of atmospheric waste How's your view? The future and the past through the present can last If we do, How's your view? How's your view? Each selfish and lowly thought has life of it's own To create without thinking Like seeds that we have sown. The future that we must live, the life that we must taste Conspire and refrain from blinking at problems that we face How's your view? The future and the past through the present can last If we do, How's your view? How's your view? Through beautiful vapor trails the jets keep flying to All the Earth's cities linking The ancient and the new People keep traveling in their business and their haste Conspire and refrain from blinking at problems that we face How's your view? How's your view? How's your view? How's your view?

Prisoner of Should 03:20
lyrics

PRISONER OF SHOULD I see life is still passing by Most things are still changing Each soul is in it's own cage Of bold rearranging Anything that happens could be good If you're not a prisoner of should. I keep looking, I keep awake I do thinking and stewing I do giving and do some take Witness every doing Anything that happens could be good If you're not a prisoner of should. I see life is still passing by Most things are still changing Each soul is in it's own cage Of bold rearranging Anything that happens could be good If you're not a prisoner of should.

Sea Of All Desires 02:40
lyrics
buy track
SEA OF ALL DESIRES In another lifetime we sealed our fate Agreed to link up, cooperate To make examples of our love. In the beginning the time was right To let the feelings go and learn to fly No possibilities of goodbye No possibilities of goodbye. In the physical we lived and aged Before the backdrop of a world enraged Much unforeseen in our grand plan. In the beginning the time was right To let the feelings go and learn to fly No possibilities of goodbye No possibilities of goodbye. In another lifetime we sealed our fate Agreed to link up, cooperate To make examples of our love. In the beginning the time was right To let the feelings go and learn to fly No possibilities of goodbye No possibilities of goodbye. No possibilities of goodbye No possibilities of goodbye.

TRUTH, TRUTH See the tangled webs that the people are making Making with their words and the things that they do See the tangled webs that the people are making As their lives are lived out for true As their lives are lived out for true. Truth, truth, awful truth Why raiseth thy fierce head? Truth, truth, awful truth You have been long thought dead You have been long thought dead. You know I can't feel this old ball keep turning 'round But that don't mean the vision can't be found It's all in the matter of perspective So I'll become a cosmic detective So I'll become a cosmic detective See the tangled webs that the people are making Making with their words and the things that they do See the tangled webs that the people are making As their lives are lived out for true As their lives are lived out for true. Truth, truth, awful truth Why raiseth thy fierce head? Truth, truth, awful truth You have been long thought dead You have been long thought dead. You have been long thought dead. You have been long thought dead.

In The Night Gary Deatherage See your days coming and see your days go Check out the patterns and see how they glow In the night of your memories of sunlight. In the night, in the night In the night, in the night, in the night. In the night, in the night In the night, in the night, in the night. Feel the world spinning, it's going so slow Taking us with it and marking time's flow Each day creates memories of sunlight. In the night, in the night In the night, in the night, in the night. See your days coming and see your days go Check out the patterns and see how they glow In the night of your memories of sunlight. In the night, in the night In the night, in the night, in the night. In the night, in the night In the night, in the night, in the night. In the night, in the night In the night, in the night, in the night.

Some Day 03:17
lyrics

SOME DAY Some day when you look through your eyes And see what the world's become, All lives being live being lived out in space The products of Earth and Sun And when you're speeding through your days, What do you focus on Before you're gone? Each life seems to radiate light Which distorts before it's done. Some battle, some turn away, Some hate, while others run. And when you're speeding through your days What do you focus on Before you're gone? Some day when you look through your eyes And see what the world's become, All lives being live being lived out in space The products of Earth and Sun And when you're speeding through your days. What do you focus on Before you're gone?

Each Day 03:21
lyrics

Each Day Gary Deatherage Each day I learn some new things, Experiences come find me,. Some will come as I want And others try to sneak by me The things that I don't know, Seek to enter my mind, Not learned and long ago I can't find. And when I learn these new things, They sometimes help to unbind me. And when they leave me with scars, I have to reach out for the stars. The things I don't know, Seek to enter my mind, Not learned and long ago I can't find. Each day I learn some new things, Experiences come find me. Some will come as I want, And others try to sneak by me. The things I don't know, Seek to enter my mind, Not learned and long ago I can't find.

Will Fragments 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Will Fragments Gary Deatherage Will fragments from pushing down Desires which lead To the balance of Spirit and of need. Slowly fade away, in the lost, dark worlds Terrible as hell, where they're forced to dwell. Heart fragments lose energies No light can reach To restore them to balance, or to teach. Slowly fade away, in the lost, dark worlds Terrible as hell, where they're forced to dwell. The Body soon dissipates It cannot hold The forces of life against the cold. Slowly fade away, in the lost, dark worlds Terrible as hell, where they're forced to dwell. So Spirit is left alone To wither and die Trying to figure out why. Slowly fade away, in the lost, dark worlds Terrible as hell, where they're forced to dwell.

Without You 03:22

WITHOUT YOU Every fantasy I have, I have about you And everywhere I go, I go without you. And everything I know, I know about you And everything I feel, I can't without you. See the sky, it isn't dry down here without you Even time can't go by, can't pass without you. Every fantasy I have, I have about you And everywhere I go, I go without you. Without you, without you, without you, without you, without you, Without you, without you, without you, without you, without you, Without you.

When I Rejoined The World 03:09

WHEN I REJOINED THE WORLD When I rejoined the world I got a surprise Negativity stood, I could see with my eyes And what I saw in the bright daylight with the clearest of mind Was Darkness calling to deepest night always seeking its kind. So I stared at the crowds, I peeked in their lives Each was focussed on self and how to survive And what I saw in the bright daylight with the clearest of mind Was Darkness calling to deepest night always seeking its kind. Many pieces of Darkness floated in Light With these thoughts and perceptions I could feel fright And what I saw in the bright daylight, with the clearest of mind Was Darkness calling to deepest night always seeking its kind.

Around You 04:41

AROUND YOU In the darkening shadows Which ring your eyes The gathering forces seek to arise Around you, around you Around you, around you. Every day it's the same old thing What you worship soon rusts What you chase always runs away Or busts. All those problems You can't seem to solve With all your efforts the world won't revolve Around you, around you Around you, around you. Every day it's the same old thing What you worship soon rusts What you chase always runs away Or busts. In the darkening shadows Which ring your eyes The gathering forces seek to arise Around you, around you Around you, around you. Every day it's the same old thing What you worship soon rusts What you chase always runs away Or busts. See how you gather your forces around you See how you gather your forces around you Around you, around you Around you, around you.

TALE OF FIRE I must take a ride tonight, I don't want to make All this may involve some fright, I must cross the lake Of fire, of flaming pain That you feel 'til you win the game. If I find my way back home, if I can prevail I'll be lucky, I'll survive, I will tell the tale Of fire, of flaming pain That you feel 'til you win the game. If I can I will tell you what I saw and did You could follow, you could do, you could thus be led Through fire, through flaming pain That you feel 'til you win the game. Of fire, of flaming pain That you feel 'til you win the game. Through fire, through fire Through fire, through fire, Through fire, through fire.

What We're Doing Up Here 02:36
lyrics

WHAT WE'RE DOING UP HERE Energy expended in the known, real world Always comes to something in the karmic swirl, We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity. We ought to know better, we used to know best Every intervention was a great success But over time it turned into a nasty mess We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity. We do it for nothing, completely for free But that doesn't seem to help the quality We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity. We ought to know better, we used to know best Every intervention was a great success But over time it turned into a nasty mess We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity. We started all together, but ended up with less And over time it turned into a nasty mess We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity. We ought to know better, we used to know best Every intervention was a great success But over time it turned into a nasty mess We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity. We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity We keep screwing up what we're doing up here in eternity.

Looking At The Darkness 04:09
lyrics

LOOKING AT THE DARKNESS When I close my eyes and I try not to think If I turn off my ears and my brain Then down in a black velvet well I sink And I don't want to go back again When I'm looking at the darkness That lives just inside of my head It helps me to see things Just like unraveling a thread When I'm looking at the darkness That lives just inside of my head. In the everyday world things are not always good So often we must get away We can turn ourselves on if we feel that we should Or ignore what the world has to say When I'm looking at the darkness That lives just inside of my head It helps me to see things Just like unraveling a thread When I'm looking at the darkness That lives just inside of my head. When I close my eyes and I try not to think If I turn off my ears and my brain Then down in a black velvet well I sink And I don't want to go back again When I'm looking at the darkness That lives just inside of my head It helps me to see things Just like unraveling a thread When I'm looking at the darkness That lives just inside of my head. When I'm looking at the darkness That lives just inside of my head.

While Time Flies 03:33
lyrics
buy track
WHILE TIME FLIES What you call spiritual others might call dead Or perhaps esoteric or reincarnated How to study the hereafter from an enclosed space As the brain in it's skull, the spirit is embraced While time flies, and the stars pass by our eyes we realize While time flies, while time flies, while time flies. Pick a pathway that you follow, or wander on your own It brings you to the same place of looking back upon Every act of co-creation carried out thus far And the many consequences of playing my guitar While time flies, and the stars pass by our eyes we realize While time flies, while time flies, while time flies.

about

All the songs are free, but if you want to help the project you can donate.

Songs on "Cosmic Crumbs", II Cosmic’s third album, as on the first two albums, help to tell the Sun Pipes For The Dreamers story about Ramon, a young man who while in an induced coma after a motorcycle accident has many Dreams that he remembers, or at least remembers portions of, when he later regains consciousness. Ramon can never figure out where these strange Dreams come from. But they keep coming, and from these crumbs of memory his brain stitches together a different cosmology for himself.

While my more polished songs usually gravitate to II Cosmic or Howling Wannabes albums, the Deep Dude albums often provide homes for simpler songs, songs that are topical, or ones that are somehow different than usual for me..
