Come get High (on Music)
06:10
|

Come get high with me
And jam on good music
Quite a sight to see
Well meaning don't abuse it
Come get high with me
Good company and badass times
Positively a joy of infamy
Come get high with me
If it's hard to follow
You can still single along
To the jamming part of this song
We will get there some day
We will get there some way
Get there some way

Spec of Dust
13:24
|
|||
|
It holds true that we've all adapted
Systematic changes reacted
Show me something beautiful
We aren't afraid, we are brave
Primordial knowledge redacted
Contagion contracted
We are less than a spec of dust
There's nothing special about us
We are less than a spec of dust
At the same time finding a purpose
Do we serve the earth or does it serve us?
Inciting interdependence
Infinite galactic resplendence
Breathe
Through your mind
Much to our chagrin we face the grim
Realities of existence
Show me something beautiful
We aren't afraid, we are brave
A lonely sentience filled with sentiment
Bury ourselves in the predicament
There's more to reality
Than what our perceptions can see
Our minds constructed to make it logical
For survivals sake, intelligence our telos
Invented stories to explain
The unknowable
Passed down, it is a noble effort
Our creator
Is it a creation?
And to what dispensation
Do we owe our indignation?
Sure there's a moor for conspiracy
Written in the concept of calamity
A covered up discovery
Manufactured memories

His name was Steve French
He sat upon a bench
But it wasn't a bench
It really was a chair
“Woah, ho, I want those chicken bones”
Steve french was a cat
He sat upon a mat
He was so infatuated
With the garbage, man
Steve french jumped the fence
And in his defense
Oh, how he wanted chicken bones
A floof ball of epic proportions
Eats food in any portion
Scrapping, missing part of his ear
Grows larger every year
Oh, oh he is a lucky cat
It started on the porch
And so that became
Steve French’s big break
Now he’s got a house and fame
He's rather deranged
About huntin’ chicken bones
He gifts you a mouse

Robot
I am a robot
iRobot
I’m not a robot
I know but
I have yet to give up the Dharma
I am still working on good Karma
I have much too much too
Much to think of
I just hope it’s all good
And I respect you
How you can deal
With something so boring
Something so real
And it pains me to say, really pains me to say
I think it’s so fucked up
I’m not your robot
I am a human
And so are you man
I have nothing more to say, really nothing more to say
I am a robot
I am a mover forwards
I don’t think much but too much I think
Mover, move over

Contrariety
04:08
|

|
Teach me sweet realm beyond
And may I feel your embrace
Forget the world of habitation
Give rise to the sixth sensation
And where we go from there
There's no means to compare
What we have come from and where we are going to
All that we're made from and all which we become
Shackles of doubt revel in light
Senses beyond sight
Wretched distortions encase my mind
All thoughts cast to the wayside
Open up the door
To realms never seen
To be what we can be
Oh, Contrariety
We are the waken
All contradictions
Nothing is left
Of your certain convictions

All Seeing Eye
04:22
|
|||
|
All hail our all seeing eye
In every moment we must pry
Data written bit by byte
Endless surveillance endless sight
In to your lives and minds
Through streams and data mines
Our lives are filled with lies
The institutional guise
Built on a path of ignorance
We hold your weakness
We mold your fears
We’ve filled your mind up
All of these years
With useless broadcasts
To distract and disengage
The glaring screen shoots back a gaze
Enter the Daze
Power: our goal is absolute
With all the masses quelled
Now few are resolute
Give up your privacy and give in to our threats
You will give us the credit, we will return debt
Our lives are filled with lies
The institutional guise
Built on a path of ignorance
We hold your weakness
We mold your fears
We’ve filled your mind up
All of these years
With useless broadcasts
To distract and disengage
The glaring screen shoots back a gaze
Enter the Daze

Procession of Souls
11:44
|
|||
|
I walked by the river
Drinking our sorrow
And I retraced
My steps here until now
We all consulted
The poets, profits, and sages
To what avail? I said
“Are there any answers out here?”
I did not fall to the deceit of man
Or to the unkindliness of time
But rather to
What I will relate to you
But rather to
The weakness of my own vessel
Treat well the ship that carries thought
So that it may carry you
Nous – the world as mind
World as mind
Far beyond your or my mind
A many fold of many places,
Many people
There’s no answer to be told
My story, it goes
You can never know.
About God, about Souls
Magic ritual
I am the procession of souls
Possessed by a realm you cannot see
Deny faith to believe
Hear these words they make no sense
Take this as my recompense
You’ve seen it happen
Hits every time with Deja-vu
Where the map ends
Is just a new beginning
Which beauty defends
Resonating with the sound of 1000 choruses
Give me some of that
Need more vibrations in my skull
There’s a chord that’s ringing for me
It’s that of life. And death.
Rebirth, rebirth
We’re all born again
And again and again
It’s all one big circle my friend
And we’ve been this place before
Every time you live you live some more
That’s what all this jamming is for
And we have seen the procession
And witnessed the cyclical nature of time
We sit here waiting patiently
Waiting for the next one

Due Time

Hi, what will it be today?
I really just want to stay
Me, the only thing I can be
Free, just have to pay the fee
These days costs a fortune
So, what’s it worth?
The mistake in the assumption that’s made things worse
This song I will rehearse
There’s a threat to us all connected
Like the tide we rise and fall protected
We think we are, from the danger and many changes
Will reveal that there’s nothing real until you think and feel
I can’t think a single way that I can be deceived of this fact
Can you look me in the eyes and tell me that your soul is all black?
We must strive for this misinformation to be taken all back
There’s a thread through us all, connected
Like the tide we rise and fall, protected
We think we are, from the danger and many changes
Will reveal that there’s nothing real until we think and feel

Time's Up
04:24
|

|
Here is something we can all dig in
A number if facts on which we agree
Can't stop looking for more so we find nothing less
Just trying to escape life as meaningless
Times up I've had enough
It's been a good one as far as I see
Heads up I've seen enough
Mountains if anxiety have fallen
And now I'm free
If you ever been held down by struggling
With you and yourself, well take it from me
Gotta get your kicks some way so beat em to the punch
Much less to worry about and I know it's because
Something here
In the case of free will
It's something I would instill
It's time we've made our minds up
And put it to the page
Where it stays for the rest of our days

Lights

Somebody tell me where'd the lights go
And when did the darkness grow
So bright in the night
That second sight we got it outright
We know we ain't alright
Deliver me from this insight
Are you telling me
That we have run out if time
And all that we've been wasting
Is worth more than your dime
It's flickering
Somebody tell me where'd the lights go
And when did the darkness grow
So bright in the night
Yeah we're all doing fine
And freaking out at the same time
It's flickering

Bad Monad Minneapolis, Minnesota
Bad Monad is a progressive rock trio hailing from Minneapolis, MN. We like to make music that stretches theoretical and
conceptual boundaries, whilst still maintaining a sense of humor.
Most of our works are self produced and have lyrical inspiration from philosophy, science, theology, and every day life.
