Pretending to be What you want others to see But somewhere inside There's something dark that you hide Is your smile just skin deep Because on the other side you lie Deep down do you weep For all the times that you tried When will you see the reflection As the truth starts to shrink You'll see the world's not what we think A straight line to your obsession Is it hard to conceive When a person's not what we believe A distorted fact to such aggression Will it be another fight To bring back what is right In today's two-faced twilight When did you become what you never wanted to be Does it suddenly feel Like your lost out at sea Did you think you would escape With your shifty wizardry In the end we all wait You with your two-faced misery When will you see the reflection As the truth starts to shrink You'll see the world's not what we think A straight line to your obsession Is it hard to conceive When a person's not what we believe A distorted fact to such aggression Will it be another fight To bring back what is right In today's two-faced twilight Do you only know what you want to know Would you even believe it, if you see it When will you see the reflection As the truth starts to shrink You'll see the world's not what we think A straight line to your obsession Is it hard to conceive When a person's not what we believe A distorted fact to such aggression Will it be another fight To bring back what is right In today's two-faced twilight Do you even know what honor is Can't you see past that selfishness You lies are cold, such a foul wind Probably think your heart is pure But your mind's twisted for sure Maybe if your bold, it'll break in the end Do you even know what path to take Don't move down the center to what is fake You've sold your soul it's not what you think Do you even know what honor is Can't you see past your selfishness Your lies are cold It is not what we believe

It happens everyday It's not some big change Predator to prey It's nature's way to say Things happen certain ways And that's just the way Predator to prey To dominate is a temporary state Has the frog hunts He doesn't see the snake And that is his mistake It all began a long goal A beginning journey to evolve the soul A joining of the two mind To learn and experience all within time The inner soul of eternal peace The outer mind, the compulsive beast This beast dominates our life everyday The ego stuffs the soul away Though some things may be nature's way We're not to treat each other like predator and prey

Going outside after a long hot round As the sun goes down A cool evening breeze comes around Ah that feels so good It relaxes me And makes my thoughts be understood I really must say It has to come to an end It time to go downstairs And make the music move again I've just got that urge inside To go downstairs And make my hands come alive

What is it that I see What could it be Is it just an antimatter anomaly What is an antimatter anomaly Well you see When things manifested earlier in reality Your thoughts mold reality Open your mind and you will see Antimatter anomaly What could it be What could it be What does

I Want More 05:33
I want more What do mean you want more What have I been doing all this time See, it looks fine I can't believe that you want more Won't you ever be happy with the floor Can't you appreciate what I've done I'm sorry son, it's not suppose to be fun I want more You still, you still, you still, you still, you want more This is how it's gonna be You may not want to see This is gonna be the way And it is here to stay You may have wanted more But you'll get more than you asked for

about

An early works compilation, this album spans 6 years of demos and experimental work (1999-2005). Taking the listener on an eclectic trip exploring deep within the electrified psychedelic progressions and even dissonance of James Michael House's creative depths. With eight tracks featuring a powerful rhythm section highlighted by House's six string bass. One song features special guest Joseph Wooten on keyboards on his first SK appearance, a previously unreleased track from the 2001 Universal Reversal sessions. Two tracks, including the single "Two-Faced Twilight", feature House performing all instruments including live acoustic drums. Capped off with a couple tracks of psychedelic sound experimentation and even a trip to some electronic music place with "Too Busy To Live" and "Primordial Ooze".
