This stormy cloud is humming in my head
It's way too loud, I can't hear a word you said
I'm not too proud to tell you like it is
This stormy cloud is coming... back again
So take me back three hundred years
Well before the droids have stolen our hearts away
I'd fit in with the pioneers
Working with the wood and stone
A craft to call my own
Somewhere I'm unknown
This hazy light is messing with my brain
It's way too bright and I'm blinded by the strain
It don't seem right to just fuck away the pain
This hazy light it's coming... back again
So let's go back three hundred years
Well before the droids have stolen our hearts away
We'd fit in with the pioneers
Working with the wood and stone
A craft to call our own
Somewhere we're unknown
I could stay here for a while
With my imaginary friends
Living out our fantasy
Somewhere serene
Super supreme
Somewhere we're unknown

Focus on the task at hand
Before the other man
Ya he's gonna take your spot on the team right now
You better focus on the things you know
Before that mother load
Ya she's gonna take yer spot on the team right now
Are you good and ready for a greater sound?
Will you keep it steady in the underground?
Oh focus on your poker hand
Before the other woman
Ya she's gonna take yer spot on the team right now
You better focus on the things that flow
Before that mother load
ya she's gonna take yer spot on the team right now
Oh I'm good and ready for a greater sound
Will you keep it steady in the underground
Oh focus
Focus
Focus
Or she's gonna take yer spot on the team right now
Focus

Goodbye

On the open road you said we'd never falter
You said "forever more divided by the wall"
I would have followed you back home
I didn't need a reason why
I would have followed you back home
Before we say goodbye
Goodbye
On the open shore you said we didn't need it
I prayed forevermore inspired by the call
I should have followed you back home
I never need a reason why
I'm gonna follow you back home
Before we say goodbye
Before we say goodbye
Goodbye
I'm gonna follow you back home
I never need a reason why
I'm gonna follow you back home
Before we say
Goodbye

Change

I always end up in this place, dreaming that I’d see her face
One more time, just one more taste, I tell myself it’s not too late
To change
Our impressions that we made once we forgave how we behaved
In yesterday’s mascarade, it’s funny strange how time can fade
Like all our golden escapades, our wanderlust with no restraint
The only constant in those days was giving way to our next change
Like songs of old that kept us young, much younger than everyone, an old soul never really has an age
When newness is your only friend, oh tell me how, when will it end, can’t you see that this is not a phase
It’s our age of change.
On the black walls with white chalk we organized our crazy thoughts
We wrote to do lists and then we’d talk about the lists of what to do not
On our skin with oil paint against the canvas that we hanged
On the wall your imprint stayed the praying mantis you became
My teacher of the little things, how every little one is great
How love and hate are both the same, I loved you more than anything
Like songs of old that kept us young, much younger than everyone, an old soul never really has an age
If lightness is our only friend, our heavy days may never end, can’t you see that this is not a phase!
It’s our age of change
I agreed right from the start that this was all just for the art
Of living just the way we are, tending to the garden
With our hearts and bodies twisted ‘round, our mortal parts together found
Everything we dreamed is in this massive little circle spinning ‘round and ‘round and ‘round and ‘round
All redemption songs we made to sing tomorrow like today
Giving everything away, loving wholly, unafraid of change

Bear it All

Mona Lisa Bonapart flanking from above
You are mangling this heart with your guarded borders
To my love
How can you bear it all?
How can you bear it all?
The ball and chain you call control is the opposite of freedom.
You are strangling this soul
With you guarded borders to my love
Hey, are you there?
Can you hear me calling out your name
Just your name, only your name
If you're there would you believe not by seeing anything
but your love, just your love, only your love
How can you bear it all?
How can you bear it all?
Only your love, just your love, only your love
How can you bear it all?
How can you bear it all?
Bare it, bear it, bare it all

Nightingale

Like the nightingale who are rarely prone to sleeping
We sang this last lament in the day
All the endless tales that kept you from the weeping
Scared ourselves awake in the night
You've shown me time again
That time is now
Once again we failed to hear the meaning of crescendo
Chirping in defence of our home
Riding on the whale of the strangest innuendo
We migrate to the West to stay warm.
You've shown me time again
That time is now...
Here

Put away those saddened eyes
Close yourself and fall to lay
Could your dreams they recognize
The price you give and the price you pay
Put away those happy eyes
Close yourself and fall to lay
Could your dreams they recognize
The price you pay
In the age of the weathered wood
On the bridge where you've been standing
In the days when we never could
See the branch where we could land
In the age of the weathered wood
On the bridge where you've been standing
In the days when you never could
See me land
Oh yeah!
See the boy in the corner there
He might just need to know you care
He sees much more than you believe
Cause he believes before he sees
Strong woman broken down
Looking for that common ground
She's working hard on a double shift
Maybe she just needs a lift
Underdog, pariah, ghost
Who in the world do you love the most
Deeper, stronger, closer still
I hope, I pray, you say "I will"
Stop the slave masters fucking you 'round
Stop the slave masters kicking you down
Stop the slave masters fucking you 'round
Pushing you down, kicking you round
Stop the slave masters fucking you 'round
Stop the slave masters kicking you down
Stop the slave masters fuckin' you 'round
Pushing you round, kicking you down

Feel Ambrosia getting closer
She has found her way to sing
Real Ambrosia knows that knows her
Rare young Beaujolais
To sing
Sweet aroma takes you to that higher place
Writhing in the residue
A memory of her flailing limbs
A floral waltz ballet
Feel Ambrosia getting closer
She has found her way
To sing

Dopamine Dream Toronto, Ontario
Dopamine Dream rises like the smoke exhaled by a dystopian novelist who blows into the face of the corrupt president choking
on his empty promises.
Dopamine Dream is a tour de force fuelled by an irrepressible urge to create and explore multiple dimensions in “real” life rock ‘n roll experiences beyond the machine.But you are the sages. Spread the word.

Dopamine Dream recommends:
Depth. A shape-shifting ultra terrestrial who acknowledges stolen land and has curbed our depression in multi-dimensional ways. Thank you Daniel. "Empty Husk" is our grace before dinner.

We feel the "breeze". Layers upon layers of thought abandoned by honest malaise with a touch of romanticism.
