The Comatose 03:22
THE COMATOSE Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 Boom! They come in waves Like giant, angry bumblebees, dancing on top of the hive We could've strayed But we are ancient superheroes, ready for a funny fistfight If we run this way That direction, she goes up and down and flips us on our side I miss honey and raw cake So let's try to hike the ball filled with promises and insight CHORUS: It's a joke played on the comatose Played on the comatose Counting toes in a row It's a joke played on the comatose Played on the comatose Down the rabbit hole, we go It happened the day When you sang the symphonies of wonder and ability Jungles far away Full of concrete and beans; the deserted, she dreams of the sea Like you always say: "When in doubt, push harder; when you push harder, doubt is unseen" I will not pray No gods can give us what we can achieve from recognising our sovereignty REFRAIN: Too bad you don't think it's funny So sad you're gonna die here, love Just like these bodies on the floor Too bad you never had a chance So sad you just don't understand That your life isn't yours anymore CHANT: (We don't break like glass, but we sting like fire When we allow ourselves to go higher The grand awakening is summoning you What will you do when your door's unscrewed? . . . x2) Going higher Down the rabbit hole, we go CHORUS & REFRAIN

SOME KINDA TREASURE Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 I've been searching for some kinda treasure Something to finally get me outta here I've been searching for new roads to pleasure Somewhere to finally drive out all the fear I've been bathing in some dirty water Filled with broken dreams and promises I've been searching for some kinda treasure To help me better get a handle on this CHORUS: Hindering The mercury is rising Harbinger Of a new day on the horizon Floundering A path that wiggles; I am aimless Suntanning Amongst the brainless and the nameless Wondering: "What have I done to deserve it? Ah, what have I done to deserve this? I've been searching for some kinda treasure Something to finally point the best route I've been searching for new temples to measure But I can hardly seem to suss them out I've been hanging with some angry demons Of broken bones and lack of spiritus I've been searching for some kinda treasure To help me better prepare for all this CHORUS Staring in the black deep, I'm afraid I won't be missed Searching for a treasure to help me escape this Staring in the black deep, I'm afraid I won't be missed Searching for a treasure to help me escape this

hohum 02:54
hohum Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 I remove the scarf and set it on the nightstand Beside the keys you left here yesterday All the leopard print and china won't resolve, no The horrid feelings pushing on my weight Glow gone Feeling so downtrodden hohum I remove my heart and set it on the nightstand Adjacent to your note of yesterday: "I refuse to be the clueless navigator" So spectator's the only way you'd stay Glow gone Feeling so downtrodden hohum Break a little life wide open and never feel the guilt Tear down the walls around me that you once built Break a little life wide open, though you deny you did Tear down the walls around me you built Glow gone Feeling so downtrodden hohum 26 years of my life, now wasted Glow gone Feeling so downtrodden hohum No matter what I do, I'll never be able to change it REFRAIN: (It wouldn't've worked out Even if we gave it one more chance But I'm sad of our ending now Even though my legs are tired from our dance . . . x2)

SIGOURNEY DREAMWEAVER Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 She's a shickadee dancer And she'll climb all your answers Like a paper-born baby Sweat tide on the dark seas In the yellow completely Lives a woman named Sadie She's a shickadee dancer Aye, boy! You happen to glance her? I owe everything to you I do And I will leave all I have for you, mmm CHORUS: From the fullness of your heart to the world of your head There is nothing that I won't understand When it comes to the life and the wonderous delight of you (And to be conquered by you) From the tip of your nose to your toes in the air There is nothing that I want to compare When it comes to the bright, shiny, perfect, and the teeny-tiny of you (And to be conquered by you) REFRAIN: Ooh, it's gonna come from the left Ooh, it's gonna come from the right Ooh, it's coming from up ahead Solo You will never, ever be Never, ever be Solo You will never, ever be Never, ever be solo CHORUS REFRAIN x 2 (And to be conquered by you) I owe everything to you I do And I will leave all I have for you, mmm

Dive 03:28
DIVE Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 It wasn't as I believed So quickly, was my defeat Now I sing in soliloquoys I'm gonna fight 'til it bleeds It wasn't as I believed Take a chance and dive Take a chance and dive Crashing, pulsing, earthing, coursing I'm gonna thrive; I'll survive Do or die, gotta dive Smashing, folding, birthing, sourcing I'm gonna thrive; I'll survive Do or die, gotta dive Take a chance and dive

Carve A Hole 03:11
CARVE A HOLE Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 See my heart, scan my heart, rescue my heart up off the floor I'm gonna love you so intense, we haven't been loved before Steal my heart, seal my heart, carry me in your heart, for sure I'll take away the pain of all the world and what we abhor CHORUS: What you're dreaming when you wake up I'm gonna wash over you with healing thoroughly true Where you're leaning when you're shaken up We're gonna build you anew and carve a hole right through Carve a hole right through Carve a hole right through No ideas, got no plans; our life's created through our hands Gonna surpass together all conditioning and programs Find my heart in your heart, intertwined and softly to real We'll exorcise the trauma for some divinity to feel CHORUS Carve a hole right through Find my heart in your heart
7.
Solo 03:34
SOLO Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 She sees the world only in black and white If you are wrong, then you're never right Doesn't start her day with a song and a smile Believes that nothing she does could be worthwhile But there is something higher Higher than your obsession with things (Cell phones, junk food, and masturbation) Spirit will never retire Though it sometimes has to wait in the wings (Alone won't do 'cause it's disinformation) CHORUS: 'Cause you see, you will never, ever be Never, ever be solo To the illusion, become wise Honey, you will never, ever be Never, ever be solo Someday, we'll all be open eyes He carries leather and a well-pressed suit The latest gadgets, but the tightest shoes Doesn't start his day with gratitude or thanks Believes that all those numbers will keep him safe But there is something bigger Bigger than your ego and its demands (Higher pay, flash car, and your proprieties) Spirit forever figures Though it sometimes has to hold out its hands (Dark deals - by far - AREN'T OPPORTUNITIES) CHORUS And now, I've learned there's a power in me So strong and longing to be free So I'll unleash the beauty and let it be

Quintuple C 04:00
QUINTUPLE C Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 Put on your thinking caps for the night We're gonna take us some algorithms From no one to number nine We're gonna hang drywall, execute sick measurement CHORUS: The conspiratorial consciousness co-creation committee The conspiratorial consciousness co-creation committee REFRAIN: (I'm on a snowy sugar mountain Covered in frost in the month of May I bring the oil to the Mother's surface And the everyman on his knees to pray . . . x 2) CHORUS Put on your startled face for a while I have something to say; I don't think you'll like it From someone to the defiled We're gonna bleed crystals, make it our new medicine REFRAIN CHORUS Put on your startled face for a while I have something to say; I don't think you'll like it From someone to the defiled We're gonna bleed crystals, make it our new medicine

Double Sweet 04:00
DOUBLE SWEET Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 The illusion's got me by the crosshairs And I can't think, can't drink, can't sink anything The illusion's got me by the crosshairs And I can't sleep, can't eat, can't dream of anything CHORUS: Obligatory chorus Teaching all the birds how to tweet Sweet sweet! Oh, double sweet sweet! Sweet sweet! Oh, double sweet sweet! The illusion's got me by the crosshairs And I can't dance, can't sit, can't stand anything The illusion's got me by the crosshairs And I can't speak, can't read, can't need anything CHORUS x 2 I'm stuck on a faerytale ride Where the inside becomes the outside I'm stuck on a faerytale ride And my horse is going faster, then slower, then faster I'm stuck on a faerytale ride And I know it's meant to be disaster CHANT: (When the time is right, when the cardinals fly I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be sky When the people notice that the birds have gone I'm gonna be long on the road to song . . . x2) Thugs? Crews! Lies? News! I'm looking for truth to lift blues And seeing my first eye CHORUS CHORUS II: Obligatory chorus Teaching all the world not to know No-no, oh double no-no When did it become so ugly to grow?! CHANT

THE SHEEP & THE PHOENIX Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 Pulling wool over your eyes . . . x3 Not willing to compromise No interest in selling you lies Gonna tell the truth until I die, die, die, die! You say what I tell you, "So?" Is something you already know But if that's true, why are you standing aside, side, side, side? CHORUS: Please, don't complicate; reality, this ain't You open up, and I hear, "Bleat! Bleat! Bleat! Bleat!" Please, don't procreate 'cause you will seal their fate To become programmed little sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep Not willing to be the same And be your example of "sane" Gonna fight for something 'til the water runs dry (Do you believe that your masters will have All the kindness to grant you your liberty?! . . . x2) Take a risk, take a chance Write a word, stage a dance Throw all of your every stupid precaution into wild, sleepless air Wind 'em up, take 'em down Instigate no more doubt Take back, my friends, what's ALWAYS BEEN YOURS And their days of control: they will come to an end CHORUS Ashes, ashes "Bleat! Bleat! Bleat! Bleat!" We're all falling down "Bleat! Bleat! Bleat! Bleat!" And from the ashes of despair A crimson bird erupts and takes air Shooting mushroom rainbows from the darkest high Bringing hope of a new world With a song in his throat and a willingness to care It'll carry our messages well and won't define I see you celebrate you Sigh in hues of apple blues Me too! And from every dream you have shared To all of the feathers and rings in your hair Spanning life after life and never meeting up with yourself Learning to fly, learning to fly Without any wings on you to get by Learning to fly, learning to fly Learning to fly, learning to fly When the danger and fear is closeby Learning to fly, learning to fly Watch the volcanoes cum Watch the volcanoes cum And from the ashes of despair A crimson bird erupts and takes air Spanning life after life and never meeting up with myself And from every dream you have shed To all of the feathers and rings in your hair Spanning life after life and never meeting up with myself

Journey 04:22
JOURNEY Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022 This is it As I say "so long" to a familiar friend Don't hold back It was your faith that's granted me chance to bend This is it No more road; no, this is where the path'll end, yeah This is it As I gladly go toward forging my own ken CHORUS: Journey The need to be happy As long as try (I will not bow out on the fight) Journey The need to be flying so high And everything will be alright Everything will be alright This is it And we will not sacrifice our happiness . . . x3 If we work together, we'll clean up the mess Realise We are all perfection, so we must be our best This is it Standing at the crossroads; time to assess This is it And we will not sacrifice our happiness CHORUS x 2 REFRAIN: (Sing along, be strong, do a happy little dance We all deserve a second chance And I know We are gonna see the sun someday If we just hold tight And don't let obstacles get in the way . . . to end) Everything will be It'll be alright Journey
