1.	The Looking Glass 05:30	lyrics	buy track
Looking Glass My Innocent, rises up to the dark times A periscope of hope, helps me see Flowing through the waves, blending with the rage My Seeker, dreams of home and Penelope Water calm, skies of blue, but danger lies ahead Ponder what I said I'd do and what I did instead Youthful possibilities, in an aging shell Wish it were a mystery, but I know oh so well I peer through my Looking Glass, it tells me of an omen Full stop, drop the anchor, for a moment of reflection Change course, reverse the exodus It's perilous, but not too late I spy with my little eye, the double-bind of her perfection Bridge/Solo Another epic concert to my audience of one I want to share my music, and she's poured from the sun The hardest part, she wants no part of me My Seeker, sailing parallel with The Maiden Will is strong, but as time goes on, a smile bending Joie de vie abandons me, the second act is ending Wish that I could hurry on a broken heart, slow in mending It would make my weakness strong, if she would sing along I've been at sea so long Looking Glass, where do I belong? I peer through my Looking Glass, it tells me of an omen Full stop, drop the anchor, for a moment of reflection Change course, reverse the exodus It's perilous, but not too late I spy with my little eye, the double-bind of her perfection
2.	The Anger Sharks 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Arising from the ashes, a second chance Guided by a vision, three fateful men They love your smiling faces, you’re a family The lines that are forming, signs of prosperity If you really need me, then why am I alone It’s so confusing, three minds rule two worlds The storm is coming, hide from the hail and the wicked rain Just like before, once again The Anger Sharks are swimming Beneath a mask of learned serenity Many, are the needs, of the frenzy Masters of, the deep, blue, me Beware the paradox of, independent men Told to work together, as if all are one Soon their darkest places, become collaborative Instead of grand designs, the goal is simply just to live Mad chaos ensues in the blink of an eye You’re pre-exhausted, but don’t rest or you might crack Compounding debt of reality The anvil that broke the camel’s back The Anger Sharks are winning Fractured is the mask of learned serenity The hungry needs of a past undone Will feast on the needs of the few, or the one
3.	Think For Yourself 05:02	lyrics	buy track
Think For Yourself Growing up, so many forces dominate your soul It’s hard to separate the truth from what you’re told Willful denial, will sabotage your goals Clarify what you believe from what you have been sold Think for yourself - Fight The Negative Thought Patrol Think for yourself - Mind The Child to remain in control Think for yourself - Direct pressure on emotional bloodshed Think for yourself - Well done beats well said Motivate yourself or the dream will suffocate Come to terms with what’s been lost and all you hate The weak choose to destroy, the strong live to create Changes on the other side, flooding the gates Think for yourself - Fight The Negative Thought Patrol Think for yourself - Mind The Child to remain in control Think for yourself - Direct pressure on emotional bloodshed Think for yourself - Well done beats well said Don’t set the precedent Being fine with being ignorant Brick by accursed brick Tear down the wall Accept your humanity Reject the all-me society Nothing new awaits you Think for yourself
4.	Go Time 04:32	lyrics	buy track
How could this have come to be, such distance from reality Such fear of parting ways with what's familiar I want to live, so much to give Parts of me are trying Parts of me are lying Go, Go Time for me to Go Everybody Go Take sea, sail north Battle on, carry forth Chasing the horizon Haven't seen land for days It's go time, baby It's go time, baby Time for me to Go Everybody Go! Take sea, sail north Battle on, carry forth Scanning the horizon What a waste of time The mirror shows the facts of life Eyes that wear the years of strife Looking back at me with many questions I check the clock, it's time to rock Rock and Roll Forever! For however long that is... It's go time, baby It's go time, baby Time for me to Go Everybody Stop!
5.	Deck The Halls 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Tis the season to be jolly, Don we now our gay apparel, Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, Fa la la la la la la la la la la See the blazing Yule before us, Strike the harp and join the chorus. Follow me in merry measure, While I tell of Yule tide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la la la la Fast away the old year passes, Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Sing we joyous, all together, Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la la la la Fast away the old year passes, Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Heedless of the wind and weather, Sing we joyous, all…together
6.	Jingle Bells 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob tails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight - yeah Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side The horse was lean and lank Misfortune and a mess We fell into a drifted bank And then we got undressed Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh (solo) Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Loving me some Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh

You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town He's making a list And checking it twice Gonna find out who's naughty or nice Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows when you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake Oh...You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town He’s throwin’ some horns, whippin’ them drums Three or four toots and rummy rum rums Santa Claus is coming to town Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo He’s kickin’ their butts and bangin’ on fools! Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows when you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake So...You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming Santa Claus in coming Santa Claus is coming to town

She sings from somewhere you can't see She sits on the top of the greenest tree She sends out an aroma of undefined love It drifts on down in a mist from above She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want You're in a corner everywhere you turn You know you're headed for the planet of burn But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue She's the real thing, but you knew it all along She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want Look at you with your mouth watering Look at you with your mind spinning Why don't you just admit it's all over She's just the girl u want. She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want She sings from somewhere you can't see She sits on the top of the greenest tree She sends out an aroma of undefined love It drifts on down in a mist from above She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want She's just a girl, she's just a girl, the girl u want Look at you with your mouth watering Look at you with your mind spinning Why don't you just admit it's all over She's just the girl u want.

about

This album is quite eclectic with some decent covers, Christmas carols, and well, some speed metal . The MP sound is going through some changes and once those are finalized, a more disciplined second album will be formed.

about

Myth Pusher Austin, Texas

This album is over 20 years in the making with many of the primary riffs written between 88-94. I just never gave myself permission to spend the time necessary to make something that sounded like what I was hearing in my head.

It is not perfect, but I know I genuinely did my best in putting this together. If old school rock is your thing, I hope you like it. Good bit of my soul in there. ... more
