Don't tell me no. Yes we can grow. Now here we go to Amnesiana. Forget your past. We all are last if we come back from Amnesiana. I don't need to know, above & below, If this is my doom, (Amnesiana) my womb & my tomb. No history, no mystery, nothing for me but Amnesiana. I read the script; too much to fit. Now I've been gripped by Amnesiana. I don't need to know, above & below, If this is my doom, (Amnesiana) my womb & my tomb. Don't tell me no. Yes we can grow. Now here we go to Amnesiana. Forget your past. We all are last if we come back from Amnesiana.

Trust 04:03
I don't know who you are Why does it feel like you want all my light to be dark? Can you tell me about Trust. Trust. Trust. Trust I know that we're not meant to be You know the things you promised me I don't care if you planned it, but what happened has happened It's not the things you said to me You have something against real change But things in life always seem to rearrange You know that I meant it. I don't know how to end it When its the way that it is I don't know who you are Why does it feel like you want all my light to be dark? I can't see you, I don't see you. It's all untrue Do you know who I am? or have I wasted all my trust being fooled again? I thought I knew. I had the truth. But who are you? What do you know about trust? trust. trust. trust Oh I put so much trust in you But I wake up & see I am misused Where is the understanding, when I see you're pretending? Why did I put my trust in you? I thought you had in mind my security But how much of this is a true democracy? I don't need you to protect me; you disrespect & suspect me What can I do now? I don't know who you are Why does it feel like you want all my light to be dark? I can't see you, I don't see you. It's all untrue What do you know about trust? trust. trust. trust Why should I commit myself to someone who cannot comprehend? You spread this fear so grim A commercial spin All these shiny things They don't mean a thing What do you know about trust? trust. trust. trust Can you tell me about trust? trust. trust. trust

Euphoria 04:20
I'll take this for what it is, like I've known you forever I'm completely blown away; all my days bleed together I'm feeling telepathic, don't you know? We never will be past this - even so - You're feeding my heart. You infect me with loving Nature. Compassion. Reality. A place I found Euphoria. euphoria Euphoria I found you in the web of life & we are lovers in the sky Euphoria My heart is like a power switch & you have flipped it with your mind Lighting up the night with the brightness of healing My perspective on life has moved beyond feeling I use my intuition every day, a cosmic recognition on the way The beauty of creation is all too revealing Nature. DNA glowing with love. It's a place Euphoria. Euphoria Euphoria I found you in the web of life & we are lovers in the sky Euphoria My heart is like a power switch & you have flipped it with your mind You have me Take me! You have me It's a place Euphoria You have me Take me! It's a place I found Euphoria I found you in the web of life & we are lovers in the sky Euphoria My heart is like a power switch & you have flipped it with your mind

The modem's blinking & the music's playing while the laundrys washing in a spinning machine The heat is running the A.C. is cooling while the phone is ringing and the lights just went out remember connection surrounded by something new i don't know what i was thinking with all these things i became too used to i just had a power surge electric life disturbed i had a power surge and now nothing works i dont know if youve heard. i cant function like this. before this power surge everything was fine but then i look outside the breeze is dancing & the clouds are drifting ooh they show me that the world is larger than mine the leaves caressing and the branches supporting the birds who are calling out to share their only song i caged my heart when i walled in my world my moat made of power cords was a poor substitue for real power yeh so much i dont understand but when im plugged in i have no off switch toaster and microwave when power misbehaves are ugly little props to a powerless life the lights are buzzing perfect temperature returning the clock is flashing; its noon at 9 am buzzing flashing surrounded returning surrounded i don't know what i was thinking with all these things! i just had a power surge electric life disturbed i had a power surge and now nothing works i dont know if youve heard. i cant function like this before this power surge. everything was fine but then i look outside

Skin 02:39
When it comes, it comes It's just a thing to make you run My heart is pulsing like the sun & you're on fire Come let it appeal To all your passions & ideals Don't let a mirror make it real to your desire Lava in my veins Everything is flame Liquid burning in my blood Come Skin Come on let me in, reality is in, living in our skin Yeh, skin Touch & feel & find, leave separation behind, I'm yours & you are my skin Look me in the face just kiss me There will be no trace of us Our bodies burning up with this sensation Hands are everywhere Your skin is totally aware As we swim through a non-apparent correlation You are in my breath Here is life & death We are merging into one cell Skin Come on let me in, reality is in, living in our skin Yeh, skin Touch & feel & find, leave separation behind, I'm yours & you are my skin Dancing over the void, here we are combined One mind, one love, one thing As one we will climb a mountain so high beyond the sky Yeh, skin Come on let me in, reality is in, living in our skin. Yeh, skin Touch & feel & find, leave separation behind, I'm yours & you are my skin

I don't even know Why do I love you? When you talk When you open your mouth & talk I have a memory of when the world was new When you say All the things you don't need to day I feel the sun reflecting & I am the moon Tell me something I don't know. Show me what needs to be shown I am trying. Our hearts are flying. Never dying Something haunts you, but I want you. Does it matter? Why do I love you when I don't know why I'm here? & Why do I need to hold you? I don't even know But don't leave me alone When you are my home When you cry When I sing to you & you cry I feel like Babylon is crumbling to the ground Why you lie When you tell me we still have time I know there's something in you that wants never to be found Tell me something I don't know. Show me what needs to be shown I know I love you & that you'll undo all I've asked you But I'll protect you, reconnect you, help you come to Why do you love me? You said that you then you back away So why do you need to see me? & do I need to know? How can I leave you alone when I don't even know why you act like home? Why do I love you? If you try If you think that it's worth a try You know I'll meet you where the sun will always shine Tell me something I don't know. Show me what's needed to show. Leave your castle. Find your answers. Find your answers.

How can I say "I'm glad I left you down in the gutter alone"? You seem to believe that's where you belong & if that's what you want for yourself Who am I to stop you? You've begged down on your knees It's easy to say for you "Jesus please!" I got so bored with the way you talked Don't want to have anymore & that's why I walked I walked away from where you belong You were such a chore And empty shell of what you were before I just don't see why you sell out I guess it's better for me; unclear what you're about I walked away from where you belong Where do you truly belong? Oh you! A hollow man You think that you know but you don't understand You never do what you want for the world I guess that's you & I've had enough of it all I walked away from where you think you belong

Life is for living Will you try to deny?; all evidence cast aside? I will fight for my rights when you tell me the world is black & white While you steal it in the night I could try to believe a lie Watch my life wasting away as it's passing me by There's no use wondering why you could never have me There was something wrong with your song There was something wrong with your song & it took too long for me to find out that this could not last long Your song I could really be anybody Your alleged innocence doesn't mean a thing Hide behind your corporations You will never have me This is not how things have to be When destructions what I foresee Everything's too clean & we're hurting the green So tell me what you mean, machine! You could really be anybody Your alleged innocence doesn't mean a thing Hide behind your corporations You will never have me Will you try to comply?; conforming only so you can get by? Or will you live a beautiful life & halt the greed & corruption tonight? Life is for living

I've been taken over many times Traveled across the planet with bionic eyes Mind-controlled & turned into a super spy & had another life given to me when I Jumped through the Siege Perilous & altered lives I was two people who were both combined Became an action junkie & forgot my butterfly I'm a butterfly; evolution here inside I'm a butterfly, with psychic knives, so don't you try to lie I can see your mind (focused totality) With all the times I've died (what is fatality?) Be a butterfly; gracefully aligned; nothing is defined I activate my Butterfly Signature. That's the word that I came for Butterfly signature. My world can be aligned I am flying high above the clouds I will not comply with what keeps me on the ground Landing on my lover though I know his thoughts He looks like an angel even when he's not Back when I was blind I used the world to see Sensing everything third-person memory I have seen a lot of death & tragedy But also bravery & positivity I'm a butterfly; evolution here inside I'm a butterfly, with psychic knives, so don't you try to lie I can see your mind (focused totality) With all the times I've died (what is fatality?) Be a butterfly; gracefully aligned; nothing is defined I activate my Butterfly Signature. That's the word that I came for Butterfly signature. My world can be aligned I'm a butterfly; evolution here inside I'm a butterfly, with psychic knives, so don't you try to lie I'm a butterfly; evolution here inside I'm a butterfly, with psychic knives, so don't you try to lie I can see your mind (focused totality) With all the times I've died (what is fatality?)

Creation is Magic I feel it on the wind Creation is Magic I heard it in the fall & I was enthralled A grand adventure lay before us all Dangerous & drastic. Creation is magic I feel it on the wind, that the quest will soon begin Met all these people & spread myself too thin Through all of this static: Creation is magic I feel it on the wind Who knows how long it's been? I shuddered/shattered as it brushed me through time With these eldritch ambitions of mine I feel it on the wind I'm not that kind of witch, in a world with no prayers or curses; no mysterious tomes Only one enchantment: Creation is magic It's not that type of spell. You are in your hands What are your demons in this superstitious lands? Who knows what began it? Creation is magic I feel it on the wind Who knows how long it's been? I shuddered/shattered as it brushed me through time With these eldritch ambitions of mine Cast a spell. Change the dream. Save the planet. Make it green It's in you. It's in us. What are you here for? What are you here for? What are you here for? I heard it in the fall I feel it on the wind I'm not that kind of witch It's not that type of spell

Honey roses fall like snow, when I am in the place I know is resounding blissfully; full of possibility In the golden city, detached & so amused Everything so pretty, not knowing I'm confused It is fast approaching: the peak of everything; the beginning What if all this is an echo? A memory of something once let go We are reaching for the stars. Have we ever been this far? You & I could be an echo. Cosmic dust from ages ago Buried deep beyond the past. & the lesson never lasts echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo What came before Babylon? An image of golden eras gone From hanging gardens to jaguar temples, There has been knowledge all along. Hidden in the soil at the bottom of the sea. Destruction to construction, ruined memories. What was once recorded, uncovered mysteries. Prehistoric history. What if all this is an echo? A memory of something once let go We are reaching for the stars. Have we ever been this far? You & I could be an echo. Cosmic dust from ages ago Buried deep beyond the past. & the lesson never lasts echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo Still what I can see & hear is indescribable & clear There is more than what we know. More before us called this home The cradle of civilization: Not the first? Between floods & ice ages, cycles burst It boggles the mind & the mind of the heart, that we don't know the start Are we really our best, ecologically dispossessed? & have the takers always won? echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo

Dark & quiet, they drum to me, I close my eyes & I'm surprised by what I find Shapes spinning inside me, to a tunnel I fly It's all so bright and unrefined Running over the crowd, it all turns upside down Black feathers around my love abound You are the dream I live in as the vision explodes Taking me home to the unknown You're all that I need. All I want to breathe You are the dream that I can't leave You are everything caught in emotions so hot If this is a dream, please don't wake me Here, inside your bed, I see only red You heard what I said: Just want to be Moving past the brink. into me you'll sync/sink You'll miss if you blink I can't leave this dream On the back of a serpent made of sapient eyes An eternal mind is you sublime Worlds of every moment are in you combined And here we're floating through the sky Please take me much lower than I'm ready to go The otherworld is not too low Words cant do you justice, it's like painting the sea Which can only be done inside this dream You're all that I need. All I want to breathe You are the dream that I can't leave You are everything caught in emotions so hot If this is a dream, please don't wake me Here, inside your bed, I see only red You heard what I said: Just want to be Moving past the brink. into me you'll sync/sink You'll miss if you blink I can't leave this dream I had other things to say. I gave it up & had to stay Left the negative where it can belong Can't worry who to portray. be yourself, its okay It's all that I want: just you, so dont leave the dream You're all that I need. All I want to breathe You are the dream that I can't leave You are everything caught in emotions so hot If this is a dream, please don't wake me Here, inside your bed, I see only red You heard what I said: Just want to be Moving past the brink. into me you'll sync/sink You'll miss if you blink I can't leave this dream

In the "wild" beneath the sky a canopy of every green I feel his flesh, come on my back, & there is beauty in everything Please no more, denying, there is honesty in our genes If we lose the lungs of the world how will we breathe? & what about the green? I had met him in the forest on a yellow moon All these colors were before us in every hue There was something wild inside him, & he let it out. yeh When he exploded from within, I unwound. oh Cellular spirals, all of my senses. every color was a piece of each other la la la la la la. lala la la la la la la In the heart of this naked dark, there's a song waiting to be sung Rocks & trees humming sleepily can't compete with engines & thieves I followed the green to discovery Follow the roots, sing along la la la la la la. lala la la la la la la I thought that I had the earth in mind 'til I was shown a spectrum of life The night untied, we lie side by side, there was a world to realize We followed the green to discovery Breathe with trees, sing along la la la la la la. lala la la la la la la la la la la la la. lala la la la la la la For the trees, & for love, make a move to help the green The jungle wanes, the forest fades From monoculture's unfeeling bleach Please no more denying there is Nature in our genes If we lose the lungs of the world, how will we breathe? & what about The Green? la la la la la la. lala la la la la la la What about The Green? la la la la la la. lala la la la la la la What about The Green?

Time won't wait for us all to wake I thought that I could get by in this state But our world is not the same as what it used to be Love had a place but we're racing into space For that constellation, a/of vibration, it's the chase Since our world is not the same as what it used to be, who will take the blame? Survival of the Loving Survival of the Loved We gave up on war & money; it was an urgent move to save our only home Planting, growing, thriving, knowing that there is always more to know Survival of the Loving No more pretend Ego Death De-automatization We saw a way & life was saved Cooperation, education of change Everything plateau'd so very long ago Our planet we'd outgrown Survival of the Loving Survival of the Loved We gave up on war & money; it was an urgent move to save our only home Planting, growing, thriving, knowing that there is always more to know Survival of the Loving Civilization of preservation (Loving) Civilization of preservation Civilization of preservation (Loving) Civilization of preservation We are here to preserve & protect We are the nurturers, the creators Sustaining logic, living beneath our means Caring for The Earth. We stopped being passengers in life It's when we killed our desire for an artificial Killed our desire for the superficial Killed our desire for an artificial life Survival of the Loving Survival of the Loving Survival of the Loved We gave up on war & money; it was an urgent move to save our only home Planting, growing, thriving, knowing that there is always more to know Survival of the Loving No more pretend Ego death De-automatization No more pretend Ego death (Ego) De-automatization (Death)

about

Originally planned as a 35 track mega-album, this was scaled back, as I often do.
Largely written before I moved to New York City, some songs were scrapped, a few were combined, & almost all were changed.
I have to compare this to my previous album, "Get Brave!". ECO has more of me in it, rather than being all about ideas, ideals, idealism. I got a little preachy before, so took a step back from the soapbox to examine what I really want to say. My goal with this collection is to spread hope & inspiration, to show more of my humanity than my coldness as with "Get Brave!". Focusing on the positive.
My song "Whales", which was originally released on this album, has been moved to my "Hadopelagia" album.
We are dreaming life every day! Catch up to love! We have so much possibility in our own hands!
Have hope in humanity, we can do so much so let's DO something for the world, for the bullied & the hurt & the neglected & the lonely, let's save the polluted planet because NOW is the time! We can stop corporations from destroying everything beautiful & essential. We can change our perception of animals, abuse, communication, & love.
awareness, compassion, awaken to nurturing & knowledge, utilize your talents & grow, grow, GROW things everywhere!!

This album has a more global sound, & most songs are more basic & stripped down than the Get Brave! songs. It all comes together. The beautiful planet. This album contains one of my oldest songs (Can't Leave This Dream - from 2004, remade here) & most of my newest material.
There is a 12-track version of this album entitled simply "Jerome" that is online at various outlets for $7.00. Listen to the full tracks here to see if you want to purchase this version or "Jerome".
