Anymore 03:38
I took a ride on the wings of a good time and I'm not a human Anymore I smoked the dreams of the dirt in the darkness and I'm not a human Anymore I put the thoughts in the minds of the madmen I'm not a human I stole a kiss from Impossible Princess I'm not a human I'm not a human Anymore Outdoors the sun stares on melted existence I'm not a human Anymore Crumbled remains of the gifts one was given I'm not a human Anymore Sometimes the heart stops a beat as it realise I'm not a human Well tailored shaddow and cold blooded curses I'm not a human I'm not a human Anymore Sister alone do not fear, I am hearby the I'm not a human Anymore As you kneel to pray I do swear I will hunt mine for I'm not a human Anymore I am the Dastardly new Undertaker I'm not a human Though wisper your wishes for I'm a beleiver I'm not a human I'm not a human Anymore I took a ride on the wings of a good time

Forever can't be long enough for I could surely never put the slightest of all our pieces together However, I'm just discovering the vital truth in me, it coukd surely take fever just to get to know each other How much do you know about me? It seems just when you think you've got it figured, everyone breaks the nutural laws Teach me ways to look at life, and how to take offence to others For it seems we are criminals and I'm confused May Crazy Little Flowers bloom in Hell Whatever you may like of me don't you mention it, there'll be a time and place for everything, apparently Pristine thoughts on anything have no standing here, the flavour of our minds eventually disturbed everyone How much did I miss when I was away, oh butterfly I missed you Did anyone break the natural laws and discover anything about life?, and if you did would you tell me, for it seems we are criminals and I am confused. Ooh I'm confused May Crazy Little Flowers bloom in Hell Freaked out Mary mother of someother, so is this all we have to hope for?

I don't remember your name, but time flashed, it's all in a whisper It's all nothing insane But you will never forget, we are blasted in this moment, in a turbulent rage we will take the stage I've been lost for a thousand years Time don't play by the rules Drowned by the tide of my living desire Careful, you get what you choose I found a lie living in plain sight dancing the puppet in me Scream it out, Deep in Doubt I woke up in the middle age, anxious you by my side Upturned shoulds and downhearted wanting To our hearts we abide I found a lie living in plain sight dancing the puppet in me Scream it out, Deep in Doubt I do remember your name You woke the dragon inside me In the fires and flame I'm so pleased that you came You belong to the sky Memories are anchored distraction To the future I sigh and say my goodbye I found a lie living in plain sight dancing the puppet in me Scream it out, Deep in Doubt

I've got legs and arms to sell on the black market, get enough to place a hold on you Got some eyes but I'm going to need more of them, for reasons I cannot discuss The plan is too simple Maybe an enquiry would penetrate your infrastructure But the fact that I'm floundering thinking your face Is the reason you will slip between my fingers Terrified victim of the First Impression I'm a wreak, my cat is my consolation Your mind is made, I'm the ace of spades Comfort me anonymity Took my features off and placed them on a mantle Where they can sit undisturbed Turned my shirt around so you won't see me coming Inside out and upside down Terrified victim of the First Impression I'm a wreak, my cat is my consolation Your mind is made, I'm the ace of spades Comfort me anonymity And all my resources drawn together doesn't make a dent upon the task at hand Cause I'm still floundering thinking of your face It's the reason you will slip between by fingers Terrified victim of the First Impression I'm a wreak, my cat is my consolation Your mind is made, I'm the ace of spades Comfort me anonymity

We talked of this behind your back, in photos taken on open sea You're behind them, every one, your anger growing day by day We should have seen our carefree smiles unlocked the door to our demise We are weak and undecided drifting on the breeze We left you at the helm with nowhere left to go Kill me and stuff me in a barrel It's not like I've got any friends This boat's too small for three and a row would spoil the mood Kill me and stuff me in a barrel Shoot her and throw her overboard She knows what you're thinking and I wouldn't be parted from her I've lived a good life, wanted for nothing Given my daughter a fighting chance to do the same But now I see we’ve crossed your line Revoked our right to sail over your horizon Kill me and stuff me in a barrel Keep me aboard a few days Anchor and cross to passing vessels, exchange hellos No one will notice my passing, but my seed but you'll see to her Mop down the decks of a pointless life I've only enjoyed this far She knows, She knows No respect, She won't listen She talked of this, She's afraid for me But love is blind, I won't listen So kill me and stuff me in a barrel It was me who invited you in I'll have to accept the mistakes you make and the baggage you bring Kill me and stuff me in a barrel It won't change anything I'll always be with you, over the sea in a quiet cove with the radio on, In this beautiful world

Let the sky crust over, rain form into bellies, whip around abrasive and come crashing in upon us Let the weeds overcome, creeping into fissures, crumbling our sturt desires into dust Let the bones be exposed Let them sing their eerie song and dance amongst our brothers in the dirt where we belong Safe with worms in our hair we will sleep together without woes Let the leaves fall around us and slowly decompose and fill our nose with thoughts of angry flowers And the willows hair protect us from the sun and the spiders gaze will calm our nerves Let the bones be exposed Let them sing their eerie song and dance amongst our brothers in the dirt where we belong Safe with worms in our hair we will sleep together without woes Ooh (spooky) Let the bones be exposed Let them sing their eerie song and dance amongst our brothers in the dirt where we belong Safe with worms in our hair we will sleep together without woes, comatose

Liquid 03:28
Welcome to this liquid day Go move along your liquid way Since the walls turned wonky this world seems so less oppressive Would you agree All is liquidly now There is the hero bar splitting at the seam Liquid victims fall and bounce Wake laughing from their dreams A single boysenberry screams I'm divine And today is interesting Yes it is Even as we're laughing we look lounging lazy basking In liquid hay, hippopotami could float away If I have five hippopotami in my right hand and my left Certainly I would be squashed to death Liquid rhymes in liquid times There is the hero bar splitting at the seam Liquid victims fall and bounce Wake laughing from their dreams A single boysenberry screams I'm divine And today is interesting Yes it is Liquid rhymes in liquid times Liquid rhymes in liquid

Love to You 04:15
Love to you Hold me Now sleep with me Kiss me Now I have thoughts of you playing with the world With nothing but bedlam and the will to use I would crawl through waste of vile until your smell is in the room I'll watch light play on your skin in tones of fire been Pleasant pain you are akin And make love to you Cause I want to Dead of night Creeping past Calming nerve Playing games I am the creeping chill tingling down your spine Rapping at your window till I crash into your world As you play with knotted hair Standing naked and alone I'll watch light play on your skin in tones of fire been Pleasant pain you are akin And make love to you Cause I want to

Ducking the wonderful underfelt parallel Warmth of a cradle all covered in skin You're so very sweet my love A spectical treat my love I'm into you deeper and darker A candle protecting the wind from the fire I nurture You come to me I knew from your smell No other I burned down the town to give you ambient lighting For pouring you wine and singing you songs I'm far from describing I look to the sheep we are sacrificing As the wind wailes I will tear you apart You're so very sweet my love A spectical treat my love Tonight I give you Armageddon And a hell of a ride You are the Queen bathing in soot as it circles in winds As fireflies play On a permanent night You're so very sweet my love A spectical treat my love

Pick me up Not that I'm down Quite the opposite I feel alive In a world of chaos think that I've found A hole and I'm renovating I've wine and a stereo pumping out dirges Floating at sea the views always change Always conversing Life is a ferris wheel The wind oh it knows who I do not like It change and I'm blown away If you should sell your soul for a song You better hope it's a good one If you should hock your eyes for a dream You better hope you can sing Cast me aside under a train Sounds excessive I am a trampoline Knit me a cloud and I'll butter your bread So good you is salivating I've millions of slogans suppressing my urges Build us a tree to shelter our fears Praying for lighting I am no monolith Textured and convex I take to the streets To weezle me through the millet If you should sell your soul for a song You better hope it's a good one If you should hock your eyes for a dream You better hope you can

Thrust me into living in this shitty world And make it like I'm nothing Then ask me to feed the poor But who's going to feed me When I'm already doing exactly as they want Trapped animal dragging several iron balls Survival is a sentence with whimsical rewards It takes forever to do nothing When you're driving in a car that you can't see And the more people I meet the more I love you And the more people who show their face The more I long to see yours again Break into my house and steal all my things Cause I don't need them They only drag me down And it's my fault anyway Cause I didn't make it as they'd have it be And the more people I meet the more I love you And the more people who show their face The more I long to see yours again Fill the world with people who do not give a damn And tell them what to do But don't tell them anything Ant that you'd trust the books by the dead men With virws to make the world exactly as they see And the more people I meet the more I love you And the more people who show their face The more I long to see yours again

Train Song 05:08
Everything is fine Love is the least, the least of my worries I can hear old people chatting on a train I'm riding The sound they make doesn't register for me as conversation But I'm listening And the train is travelling despite me And the noises blend No one can hear me breathing But I am Down boy Evil child Son of destruction on a train ride Quietly seated for a rime Relax, sit back enjoy the sensation Riding the train has inspired my brain So I'm otherwise occupied You'll be safe for a while From the evil child Ooh yeah We are travelling so swiftly I'm watching your life go by It's fascinating but I'm losing interest Beginning to question my lifestyle Our existence Hark the mood has changed Outside the window the next scene has been arranged Nature now we penetrate aboard our metal snake I'm going home I long to play with toys I keep in my room And the train is travelling despite me Down boy Evil child Son of destruction on a train ride Quietly seated for a rime Relax, sit back enjoy the sensation Riding the train has inspired my brain So I'm otherwise occupied You'll be safe for a while From the evil child Ooh yeah

I'm Not 03:32
14.
This seems to be all there is Are we satisfied? This mood I find fulfilling Can you handle such simplicity? If not go where you find pleasure Is what I say and I've arrived to open your mind For the little things you all love to love me Feel lucky I'm all there is And I'd love to think that maybe I could give you pleasure Feel confident I wont hurt you In obvious ways My will is to put yoy in a state of comfort So wish your cares away Can I please you if I play the songs you know? Can I please you? Would I want to? Oh for the little things you all love to love me And for the little things you all love to hate me Forgive this man if he don't find it in his heart to care no more I don't care no more

Drove to the breach of the hedge on the morn Where the wind hits your face to wrinkle your nose As the birds abandon respect for those who are tied to this ground Threatened with sharp pointed sticks at your heart When we forget where they are And you smiled Clothen in black I borrowed the barn Bare for the ground was golden where green used to live But long departed I offered a pyre for want of your cries And as the flames licked the moon, kissed the cloud I burnt my hand at the scene And you turned away Silence is Meant to be Golden But I feel the cold creeping I'll drag you by the neck to top of Everest You'd only sigh Tanked up and travelling Too fast and wandering Playing the most offensive shit I could find On the interstate Pointing the other way Backwards and talking to the dead On my phone Blindfolded Dressed like a schoolgirl from Japan Hot as a man could be If only you'd speak to me Open your mouth Let it all out Silence is Meant to be Golden But I feel the cold creeping I'll drag you by the neck to top of Everest You'd only sigh

about

This is the debut solo album release for me, Christopher Lee Frazer. A singer songwriter building a catalogue of tunes for 25 years, it was about time I shared them with those who are so inclined.
Despite being defined as a 'Solo Album', it is really a collaboration of talent and friendship, bringing together Rod Auld, Jason Peters, Paul Doolan, John Kater and Amy Vee, all whom I have shared many stages and musical projects with since picking up a guitar in the mid 90s. Thankyou for your ongoing support as we explore this musical fun house of mirrors.
