The instant I entered this place, I wanted to leave I didn't want to learn anything...at least not there But if I didn't I would never leave My only recourse was drawing on the margins.... On the margins, on silver lines Drawing on the margins, saving some of my mind No matter how well the teacher told I was doing, it never felt right No sense of accomplishment I was just glad the day was over and could go home....from this slow clock My only recourse was drawing on the margins.....drawing on..... On the margins, on silver lines Drawing on the margins, saving some of my mind And the bell rings and it's a jailbreak!! For our ALLOTTED free time. Walked home, read stories warning us of the "crazy ones" who happened to end up drawing on the margins....

Made the grade, we graduate, twelve years of conditioning Intuition will fuel this fling! No more mundane yellow bus Tonight we vent, tonight we crush Twelve years of conditioning Intuition will fuel this fling What did they get us ready for? What did they get us ready for? Made the grade, we graduate Made the grade, we graduate What did they get us ready for? What did they get us ready for?? What did they get us ready for??? What did they get us ready for???? What do we do now?

Throwaway 01:51
A vehicle designed for speed stuck in a clotted artery Wears me out, drags me down, face pointed to the ground Day after day, more of the same Arrive each time and never know why Day after day, whittled away Until they decide I'm a throwaway A human designed to explore stuck in a box and glued to the floor It's hurry hurry hurry faster faster faster Type this, print this, ship this YESTERDAY!! Day after day, whittled away Until they decide I'm a throwaway Day after day, job after job Nothing ever fits, I'm a throwaway Is it me or is this world insane? Heads always looking down. NOT JUST ME. Day after day, whittled away Until they decide I'm a throwaway Day after day, job after job Nothing ever fits, I'm a throwaway Coming home, thank god for these musical instruments of mine Keeps my intuition alive.....

Saw buildings fall then saw nothing A magnifying glass in my hand I'm told to put away My little voices.....comply Little voices in the back row of my mind gather a whispering chorus Warning something isn't right But they're pushed aside The clouds continue to gather....clouds in my mind. Never been darker or thicker I have little idea or skills or OVERVIEW So I accept the established premise...of the projected "experts" I - I want- I want to know- I want to know WHY!!!!!!!! I know there's a larger world out there! There's a larger world....out there!! OUT THERE!!!!!!!!! I'm outta here!! It's out there!!!

Waterfalls 05:07
I'm going away friend for a long long time The Why's gonna take awhile 'cause it's all so new to me Waterfalls so fast and clean Everywhere it seems to me Invigorates me, quite an ethereal scene Deja Vu, it's everywhere I look Coming into view Everywhere I look is Deja Vu Happily out of breath again with each intended step What a great place this is to learn about the world Waterfalls so fast and clean as I move further further away Everything seems to invigorate and it's quite an ethereal scene Now WHERE HAVE I BEEN? Deja Vu, it's everywhere I look Coming into view Everywhere I look is Deja Vu Waterfalls.......Waterfalls.......

I'm seeing more and more through tiny cracks in the wall They're forming more and more, these tiny cracks in the wall They're showing more and more what I never knew before Bringing out the dormant thoughts as it opens more and more Making room for a funnel cone to be placed in the cracks in the stone Want more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more...... At first in drips and drips and then it pours and pours But still thirst for more and more and more and more and more......... more and more (pours and pours)........................................... All the ways to peace All the ways to war All the ways to peace, all the ways to war Everything between and more and more and more and more and more........pours..........pours..... I feel all alone...... As I fall to the floor

I used to think that the dim sun was oddly beautiful Until I found out what it really was I used to think that all institutions were there to serve us Until I found out what they really are This stage of disillusionment is mostly complete But I still struggle with discerning what is truly real and what is not Time to retire the box of moving images Which took us from the forest to isolated space And the only back is through disillusionment Back to the forest Time to reconnect (through disillusionment back to the forest) I used to think that the dim sun was oddly beautiful

They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM to the end - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM They defend it to the end With fury, cunning and cutthroat secrecy and needless artificial complexity Inspired by outdated philosophy Gives them all the excuses they need They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM to the end - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM They defend it to the end And down and down and down, down, down it churns Reinforced by psychopathic spurn Noisy propaganda drowns out all concerns Generations indoctrinated and down and down and down it churns It churns...........

....this will be my last communication...... .......suffice it to say........ ........ it's not so much a resignation but in actuality it's a disappearance..... ...just an exercise...... .......a drill.... ....just a plain message here....... ........no cryptonyms, no codes......... ..........was on a need to know basis......... ........just follow this protocol........ Before I knew it I saw buildings fall I will have no part of this deception anymore I'm not retiring, I'm disappearing

Hey, Tyranny manipulating us again And knockin down knockin down our dignity Hey, Tyranny repeating history again And knockin down knockin down our liberty All we have to do is break and cut the strings All we have left is junk to set us free Reallocate the scrap, liberate our minds All we have to do is break and cut the strings We're waking up, we're waking up We're walking off the grid We're off the grid It's breaking down, it's breaking down It's coming down

Paradise 04:36
This place could be a paradise if we want to, if we want to (if we want to, if we want to) This place could be a paradise if we want to, if we want to (if we want to, if we want to) The cutthroats rain down their fear and all your ideas were put on the shelf All the solutions have been suppressed Just take the first step, take the leap......then...... This place could be a paradise If we want to, if we want to This place could be a paradise If we want to, if we want to Manifest the dreams you've had The love, the beauty, the harmony Don't let the psychopaths run your mind Make your mind, your heart free FREE!!!!!! This place could be a paradise (when the fear is shot down) If we want to, if we want to (when the fear is shot down) This place could be a paradise (when the fear is shot down) If we want to, if we want to (when the fear is shot down) When the fear is shot down When the fear is shot down When the fear is shot down When the fear is shot down When the fear is shot down When the fear is shot down When the fear is shot down.....we.......will be............. FREE!!!!!!!!! This place could be a paradise

Truth Mosaic 05:22
Scattered fragments, the end result of an empire run on lies Misallocation strewn across the destitute land Their script has run its course So glad I did not follow it Fraying wires and fraying minds The last of willful ignorance is shed But the pieces remain and the know-how remains Amongst those who survived The pieces remain The know-how remain We can now put it all together This time without lies This time without secrets Piece by piece together with peace It forms as one a mountain high A Truth Mosaic stronger than..... Stronger than the sum of its parts A Truth Mosaic....... Consciousness raised A foundation set Now we're ready for.......now we're ready for............. ........Etherealization

about

This is a concept record following a narrative of sorts and it's dedicated to anyone who sincerely tries to understand the world we live in; particularly to those who have stumbled, gone in and out of the proverbial "rabbit hole" and own up to their own imperfections and mistakes.

Part 1 of Truth Mosaic (tracks 1 through 5) is the period of Birth, School and Work for our character where his intuition is assaulted but survives thanks to various musical excursions and brief, infrequent interactions with nature.

Part 2 (tracks 6 through 9) is the culmination of the artificial world's tensions and distortions resulting in a very destructive but inevitable event. Our character goes through the necessary grieving after getting past the initial shock (like most people), although his intuition after much internal and external struggle fights to come to the forefront and demands to know WHY this type of thing happens (unlike most others). A change of scenery is needed for the necessary clarity to ensue.

Part 3 (tracks 10 through 15) is our character's exhilarating but overwhelming transition of discovery of various hidden truths both beautiful and ugly. He thinks he is all alone in his knowledge but discovers he is not. Through networking and persistence, he, along with an increasing number of other people, find ways to discern out the truth from untruth and make the most out of what's left. They have also committed to turning their back on the dominant system and begin the process of proactively creating the reality they want to see in the world.

Part 4 (tracks 16 through 20) is where the last grips of fear slide away and unleash a plethora of brilliant ideas which laid dormant for so long. Unfortunately, they still lack a certain necessary degree of organization. Like a dying dragon, the dominant system flails violently in its last throes. As the Downward Maelstrom approaches its suicidal demise, those who are awakened do their best to get as many people out of the way of its collapse. Much destruction and many lost lives are the result of this culminating event. But enough people, resources and know-how remain to begin piecing together a new paradigm of peace, prosperity and never-ending ephemeralization while humanity finally arrives at its next stage of elevated consciousness. Our character leaves the earth an evolved spirit.

about

Brett Alexander Boye Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

With over 30 years of songwriting, Brett Alexander Boye would like to think he's evolved and learned a thing or two. His music is an attempt to find deep meaning and truth within a bizarre world ruled by untruth. His solo albums do derive from a wide range of influences like The Church, David Bowie, Mark Knopfler, Rob Pollard, Sigur Ros and others but always seeks to create something original. ... more
