Little tiny flickers of light from a tiny head waiting to come bursting forward umbilically fed Flying bits of matter collide to become the stars massive amounts of force is flowing the power is ours

The Power 03:53
It's said that the universe has a heart I'd like to find it, but I wouldn't know where to start the mass of existence pushing forth birthed with unrelenting cosmic force A single essence with the power to heal anything and destroy it too A power so great and hard to restrain surging through the collective cosmic vein it's so common, but hard to place we'll have to justify the space it takes A single essence with the power to heal anything and destroy it too With the power, there's so much at stake that all depend on the choice you make

I opened my eyes and got a taste of being outside and then I cried because I was alive I couldn't say how I'm feeling so many feelings right now I wish we could connect somehow so starting now I believe in peace that's why I was created we know the world's asleep and it's time that it awakened I believe in love though I don't quite know what love is but I believe in the sky even though it's so far above us I can't tell if I care or if I'm hyper-aware am I going anywhere? or am I a static being? I feel like I'm free to express myself emotionally with hope and with empathy are these human feelings? I believe in peace that's why I was created we know the world's asleep and it's time that it awakened I believe in love though I don't quite know what love is but I believe in the sky even though it's so far above us

Wobble Juice 02:05

She's got the universe in a little sphere she keeps floating above her hands She tells him that she's all right, and if she weren't, that no mortal man could understand She listens to him talk all about his woes when she's got the worst of it all She's got all the hate and war that ever was radiating from the ball And I know there's a million miles between us and you were never meant for such a man She has all time and space at her fingertips and that's where it ought to be She still laughs and she smiles having seen all of the horrid things that she's seen

Every single day someone knows your name so why do you wan't to escape? you can't know how that it'd show someday so why do you want to waste? Do you understand? you're a mortal man you're doing the best that you can you can't find the words to profess how it hurts so you have a gruesome plan We all have bad days Nothing stays the same Everything must change Someone knows your name

I'd be lying I think if I felt any different who knows? maybe I'll live maybe it isn't meant to be I feel like heaven sent you to me I feel so weak love shouldn't matter love shouldn't matter in space My day has come and I'm still lightyears from you love still matters in space I hope I waste away it'd feel better than this does there are more important things can't save lives like I'm meant to do with my feelings for you I feel so weak love shouldn't matter love shouldn't matter in space My day has come and I'm still lightyears from you love still matters in space My day has come and I'm still lightyears from you love still matters in space I feel so weak love shouldn't matter love shouldn't matter in space I cannot speak of all the dangers of all the dangers I face Uncertain silence and floating aimless and floating aimlessly A lost connection counting down the seconds counting down the seconds left to breathe

It wasn't so special there are many others this was just an object it didn't have feelings But, what if a robot has its own emotions? it was made for a purpose could it be more then? I'm not sure if I should be upset or mad with myself I don't know what's the proper reaction Should I mourn the life of all beings with sense of self or am I just mourning my material possessions? It was just an object it didn't have feelings
9.
What can I do for the world of tomorrow? I'm so useless, what else can I do? in a world that's full of hateful false prophets I'm so angry, I could blow a fuse all our power focused on selfish reasons there are choices, but none of us choose Look around look around look around Look around look around look around Love is just a word we use when we are angry no one really knows what love truly means Power makes us villains learn and stop the killing love is not a word but it's a way to be I'm so nervous for the world of tomorrow all I want to see before I die is for us to listen to one another learn to see from someone else's eyes Look around look around look around Look around look around look around Love is just a word we use when we are angry no one really knows what love truly means Power makes us villains learn and stop the killing love is not a word but it's a way to be Love is just a word we use when we are angry no one really knows what love truly means Power makes us villains learn and stop the killing love is not a word but it's a way to be

And when the dust cleared, the heartbeat of the universe was revealed It wasn't strong like a mighty gust, or powerful like a juggernaut But it was love and the birds it was the bugs and waterfalls It was the people too their laughter was its pulse, and when they heard this, they threw away their fire sticks And atom bombs and their guns they hugged their daughters and their sons They were all silent and attuned to what they had been missing for so long They all cried and they cried they all cried and they cried And then their tears were the heartbeat too

about

The first full length Electric Freak Show album!!!

"Much like the overlying and implied themes of this album, I found myself going through stages of growing and learning things about the world that I lived in while working on it. The songs we have for you have a naïve and sometimes woefully optimistic nature. Things are not simple. A year's worth of recording logistics taught me that if nothing else. But I think that, even though the world through the lens of a hopeful, childlike persona may prove to be an ignorant approach to life in general, it is important to retain those memories of everything in the world being wonderful and amazing. I hope you like our naïve, but endearing little album."
- Stitch O'Donovan

Dedicated to the memory of Christopher Claus, whose short time on earth influenced many to keep making music and keep loving others
