An endless love An endless love An endless love An endless love Don't you want to find out? Don't you want to find out? Take a shot now Turn the light out An endless love An endless love An endless love An endless love Don't you want to find out? (What you are) Don't you want to find out? (What are you are) Take a shot now (In the dark) Turn the light out I wanna find out All the mysteries that I couldn't figure out I wanna go out Like a candle Just snuff me out Do you wanna see me, endless love (Show me what I got) Do you wanna see me, endless love (Show me what I got) Do you wanna touch love? (Show me what I got) Do you wanna know love? (Show me what I got)

Motel 6 03:30
I was so young then At the Motel 6 Vending machine 1998 Now is it too late? For you Boot me up Tell me What you wanna do I serve you I knew That this game was just A scheme Now I'm in a dream We've been sedated By the arm of pain Went to North Hemisphere To begin again Moment in the sun is here For you Boot me up Tell me What you wanna do I serve you I knew That this game was just A scheme Now I'm in a dream Ooh Tell me what to do I serve you I knew Game was just a scheme Now I'm in a dream

Midnight soul And I didn't know How to leave and Where to go I just wanted Control The pressure that you put on me The limits I could never see The ball of energy Set me free And I don't want to pretend Where's the light And where's the end Trying to solve the mystery And I don't know how to cry So, I found the reason why Our love was so off track Am I taking you back Tonight? The pressure that you put on me The way that you limit me The ball of energy Set me free And I don't want to pretend Where's the light And where's the end Trying to solve the mystery 1, 2, 3... Made mom and dad so worried With the ways that I was hurting With the lines that I blur And I don't know how to cry So, I found the reason why Our love was so off track Am I taking you back Tonight? Got to get on track Step into The moonlight

AM 03:03
I couldn't see you When I got home I couldn't touch you Anymore Boys on the corner Dancing alone A boy on the corner Turns on All this time flirting in a room With the heat on, I Didn't know it, couldn't verbalize The tension that I felt When I was getting high Getting high I think I missed you When you walked off I couldn't kiss you Cause we broke off AM darling Outside by the phones Morning, darling Take a cab home All this time flirting in a room With the heat on, I Didn't know it, couldn't verbalize The tension that I felt When I was getting high Getting high Should I go out there? Step out for air? Retreating from the world I knew But the bar is dizzy, it's distorting the room Distorting the room Stumbled out Into the lights Drunken boys AM nights Now I'm sober In a car alone Moment's over Going home

babyboy 03:43
Entering the zone Have you been alone? Found you on the phone Have you been alone? Send me private thoughts From inside the phone I see who you are Oh, my baby boy I love you so, cannot let go Of my baby boy Don't let go Fit of ecstasy What does it mean to me? A fit of ecstasy Found you in a dream Writhing bodies Fit of ecstasy Seen but can't unsee Oh, my baby boy I love you so, cannot let go Of my baby boy Don't let go Oh, baby boy Can't let go I don't wanna know Boy Blade runner found you hustling on the streets The weight of your stare The glare of your eyes I know your contacts Into your life Into the room Your location changes every day I can't get enough I can't get enough You roam into rooms, but you'll always return Roam into rooms, but you'll always return My baby boy I give you my love Oh, my baby boy I love you so, don't let go Of my baby boy Don't let go Of my baby boy I don't wanna know Boy Oh, my baby boy I love you so, cannot let go Of my baby boy Don't let go Of my baby boy I don't wanna know Boy

Fame 03:28
Find me online I'll set up base there All of my flaws Can you taste them With your hungry eyes? I want the pain I want fame And to rise above All the others And I'll give you what you want I can give you what your mom and dad could not I would pay for the celebrity Brainfuck my mind I surrender all my agency All the time All the attention that I couldn't find You found it in a poster Ahh And I'll give you what you want I can give you what your mom and dad could not And I love you just for you I understand you All this time Wasting outside in the lights All this time Waiting outside in a line For you to grab me Touch me and hold me And I'll give you what you want I can give you what your mom and dad could not And I love you just for you I understand you I understand you

Language 04:35
Where did beauty go? There is no beauty It was a perception Where has time gone? There is no time It was a direction Where are my friends? You have no friends It was situation Where's the love? There is no love It was manipulation What is a heart? There is no heart It's only an organ And what about the mind? Pay it no mind It's only disorder Where has my body gone? It's not a body It's an incarnation So, where's the soul? There is no soul It was desperation Intelligent men With their words getting me so fucked up again Am I meant to understand That you trapped me inside of your language? Intelligent men With their words getting me so fucked up again Am I meant to understand That you trapped me inside of your language?

Tennis 03:22
Coy Saying lines you enjoy Thought That you'd rise above me Shy Don't look in your eyes Sly Not that type of guy What can I tell you bout my life Only that it seemed nice Until you came along? What can I tell you about shame Only that it keeps me sane In your game of love? Meet me 30,000 feet Off the ground Middle of the week Turned around By your smile Running miles To look good for you What can I tell you bout my life Only that it seemed nice Until you came along? What can I tell you about shame Only that it keeps me sane In your game of love? You're not altruistic Got me playing Your game of tennis I'm the winner I'm always the winner You're the loser I'm the one that's lost What can I tell you bout my life Only that it seemed nice Until you came along? What can I tell you about shame Only that it keeps me sane In your game of love?

Every now and then I get a little bit tired Wish I could be higher Waiting for you You wander so far from home Can you pick up the phone? Cause I can't get through And I Might be losing my mind With no one to love Nowhere to hide When you see me I'm bright red You leave me and I'm sad At home on my own Are you in a household with someone to hold? Greatest pleasure of all To be strung along And I Might be losing my mind With no one to love Nowhere to hide The sun Sets down on our face How did I get Get to this place? Bring it home to me Just take me back Take it back To the start Come home to me Just come on home The domain of the heart And I Might be losing my mind With no one to love Nowhere to hide The sun Sets down on our face How did I get Get to this place? Bring it home to me Just take me back Take it back To the start Come home to me Just come on home The domain of the heart

about

Recorded and produced by me in my bedroom during the pandemic, for you.

Psychic Migrations starts with singing an intention into the endless pre-conscious void of love: “I want to find out all the mysteries that I couldn’t figure out. I want to go out like a candle, just snuff me out” (An Endless Love).

This sparks an intergalactic journey, beginning with an early life move to the North Hemisphere, the land of opportunity (Motel 6), triggering a carnal lust for status and self-advancement; an eternal loop of dreams, aspirations, dissatisfactions, and burn out.

Depleted and confused, we are caught facing the end of days (for the personal burn-out latched onto outer reality, resulting in the destruction of the planet). The record finishes with a plea for a return to simplicity: “Bring it home to me, just take me back, take it back to the start. Come home to me, just come on home, the domain of the heart” (Domain of the Heart).
