Lady January has suffered for our flaws once we could have saved her, but now we grasp at straws kid yourself you’re helping with little things you do state your mea culpa and I’ll tell mine to you what will have to happen for us to understand? will we try to change things when we no longer can? we no longer can capitans of commerce just profit from the lies buying up opinions of every shape and size push a little poison, we lose a couple years push a little button, the future disappears temporary governments are making changes permanent all our precious time was spent with our heads in the sand we were raised consumers, taught to acquire the taste of throwaway existence and overwhelming waste now we’re at the crossroads and ill-prepared to cross we’ve lost all our senses including sense of loss

thoughts screech and scatter, chimps will chatter now and then within my zone of anti-Zen each time I try it I’m as quiet as a cloud but all the quiet things turn loud mind over matter undermined mind under matter over mind nerve-wracking actions and attractions to distract closing my eyes is just an act when just relaxing is too taxing for my soul it’s clearly out my control who wouldn’t wanna know Nirvana for a while and wear a beatific smile I contemplate it and I wait with bated breath where is thy sting, oh ego death

Rise 03:11
I’m leaving now without a plan I’m leaving now because I can I’ll board a ship I built by hand I’m leaving now without a plan rise, rise, rise, rise (the rising spire slips) escaping all alone (through fires of apocalypse) rise, rise, rise, rise (as I escape alone) into the great unknown I’m leaving now, no time to spare I’m leaving now for who knows where the guidance system needs repair I’m leaving now, no time to spare I’m leaving now with one last glance I leave it all to random chance propelled into the vast expanse I’m leaving now with one last glance

about

'Come aboard the, “Heartstar,” the new album by The Vertigo Swirl! …and enter into that place that lives just beyond your mind.

Modern psychedelic experimentation creativity at its finest with an honest blend of far out instrumentals and comforting, if not cathartic, vocal tracks suggesting an aural mindscape that catapults one beyond the limitations of today and into the optimistic quarters that accompany a better tomorrow.' - Infinite Spin Radio, 4/9/20
