Arcana
Lyrics by David Cutting / Dust CWaine
Produced by Josh Eastman
The arcana says my tower will fall
No difference between me and the strangers down the hall
Pull strength when I need it most, live in my head, an unwelcome ghost
I guess it's time to walk into the fire
Clutching my Crystals, Calling the witches
Put out the fires on all of my bridges
Call it what it is, a dark night of the soul
Even though I tried, I couldn’t break my fall
wish it were a secret, how I feel inside
10 of swords comes to warn me like some fucked up guide
Even though I listen I cant hear the call
I sit idle by , I don’t blame you at all
Never a right time to walk into the fire
Clutching my Crystals, Calling the witches
Putting out the fires on all of my bridges
Call it what it is, a dark night of the soul
Even though I tried, I couldn’t break my fall
When I was young I would pray to a god that wasn’t mine
Searching for the secrets of our lifetime
Picking flowers from a garden never tended
That’s not me anymore, it was my fault I had to end it
Like a great friend reminds me I'm still grieving,
I’ll never forgive you for giving up and leaving
Call it what it is, a dark night of the soul
Even though I tried, I couldn’t break my fall
Clutching my Crystals, Calling the witches
Putting out the fires on all of my bridges
Call it what it is, a dark night of the soul
Even though I tried, I couldn’t break my fall

Brighter
Lyrics by David Cutting/Dust Cwaine
Produced by Josh Eastman
You’re the last petal on the fire weed
A jar full of honey
You wake me from the deepest sleep
To tell me it’ll be ok
You care what happens to me
You let me speak my pain
And wipe my tears away
People come
people go
When you’re near I always know
Cuz The sun Shines a little brighter
As above
So below
with you I’ll always grow
Cuz the sun shines just a little brighter
You’re the sweetest winter flower
A smile at golden hour
You are the wisest of folklorian tales
pragmatic and kind
I care what happens to you
I’ll always hold your pain
And wipe your tears away
People come
people go
When you’re near I always know
Cuz The sun Shines a little brighter
As above
So below
with you I’ll always grow
Cuz the sun shines just a little brighter
I ask you why youre patient with me
You smile and say I love you
It brings tears to my eyes
maybe One day I’ll tell you why
Afraid of nothing ready for anything
We’re skipping stone across time
Beautiful memories of you and I
We have a marvelous time, ruining everything.
Good witches always do
As above so below
When you’re near I always grow
(cuz the sun shines just a little brighter)
You make the sun shine brighter everyday
You cast a spell that keeps the clouds away
I could dream up a million metaphors
Just to describe your earthly force
People come
people go
When you’re near I always know
Cuz The sun Shines a little brighter
As above
So below
with you I’ll always grow
Cuz the sun shines just a little brighter

Aliens in LA
Lyrics by David Cutting/Dust Cwaine
Produced by Josh Eastman
Staring up at the Blood red sky
Getting lost just you and I
switched our Milky Way for oat cream
Coming from the Cosmos with our broken dreams, Yea
Area 51 to Sunset Boulevard
Getting caught our thunderstorm
UFO fantasy unphased by their apathy
They Can’t stop our stellar love
You and me, we wanna be
Aliens in LA
They’ll say that it’s wrong
But we don’t want to belong
We know we are aliens in LA
We know we are aliens in LA
We know we are aliens in LA
Feels like we got that fresh pressed fame
Hand in hand playing their game
Our Intergalactic fat bodies are Too political for these Botox hotties, yea
Area 51 to Sunset Boulevard
Getting caught our thunderstorm
UFO fantasy unphased by their apathy
They Can’t stop our stellar love
You and me, we wanna be
Aliens in LA
They’ll say that it’s wrong
But we don’t want to belong
We know we are aliens in LA
We know we are aliens in LA
We know we are aliens in LA
Far from our constellation shit
Just some supernova bitches
Talking astrological Nonsense Yea
You and me, we wanna be
Aliens in LA
They’ll say that it’s wrong
But we don’t want to belong
We know we are aliens in LA
You and me
Wanna be
Aliens in LA baby
They’ll say it's wrong
We don't belong
In LA baby

We know we are aliens in LA

INNUENDO

Spoken:
Hey yo Momma Dust
Hey Tea
Are you ready for the Tea Mix?
You know it
We always start off real slow
Fumbling, not really knowing where to go
Gotta stop pretending
That I know what I think I know
Tossing out lines, hoping you’ll bite
They miss every time
Tired of dropping hints
Tired of talking in riddles
Tired of wanting you to be mine
In you in you in you Innuendo
You still insist on calling us friends though
In you in you in you Innuendo
Keep taking your time I guess we’re in the friend zone
Don’t like to show your feelins
But mine are through the ceiling
If you wanna know what's in me
I need to know how you dealin
Please don’t be shy
Just want you to be mine
Cuz we wasting time your fine girl just say what's on your mind
You’re my people, you’re so peaceful
But I want the whole thing, momma dust sprinkle
I don’t want half of you when I can take all of you
You're for me at night daytime hits you outta sight
Then you peek through any window

You drop so many hints though but I don’t do Innuendos
CHORUS
In you in you in you Innuendo
That’s a Innuendo huh (Ooooh Ooooh)

In the End
Lyrics by David Cutting
Produced by Josh Eastman
I was at burning man sharing a cigarette with a friend
Thinking about the default world on which I depend
It’s all swimming pools and movie stars
And hiding away your shameful scars
I am not afraid to have a tea party with death
I’ll go Searching for the missing piece of my soul
Looking forever, calling nowhere home
Maybe I’ll find it, I probably won't
But out in the dust
I’ll let all of me be lost
Out in the Dust
I’ll let all of me be lost
When I was twenty two I was promised the world's end
Now I am not saying its anyone’s fault but it failed
Carbon neutral goals set by fools
Hey you guys that's just not cool
At night my crystals whisper for me to go
I’ll be Searching for the missing piece of my soul
Looking forever, calling nowhere home
Maybe I’ll find it, I probably won't
But out in the dust
I’ll let all of me be lost
Out in the Dust
I’ll let all of me be lost
Pull myself apart like my childhood lego
There's Not so much of me left these days
If I am being honest I'm afraid to look back
I know what I’ll see, I know where i've been
Searching for a piece of my soul
Calling nowhere home
Maybe I’ll find it, probably won't
At every cost I'll let all of me be lost
I was at burning man sharing a cigarette with a friend
Turns out that we are all lost in the end

Saturn
Lyrics by David Cutting / Dust Cwaine
Produced by Josh Eastman
I remember the whisper of the spring breeze
Rustling gently through the pine trees
Bob seger crooning down on mainstreet
Cooked eggs on a fire felt like a small feat
You liked to yell I wonder how come
Hearing the echoes coming back from the mountains
Forgetting the words even though you said em
I can hardly breathe thinking how it all ends
We find our truth in the lost and found
When saturn come back around
You Stoke the coals bring the fire to full force
I sit and admire your cluster of clear quartz
I really struggled to write this song verse
I wonder at the end if you had any remorse
Questions about how you were swirl in my head
DId you ever feel shame for things you said?
You noticed everything but could never see
Our differences, you just weren't like me
We find our truth in the lost and found
When saturn come back around
Time passes, flowers bloom, rain falls and the truth fails.
Time passes, flowers bloom, rain falls and the truth fails.
We find our truth in the lost and found
When saturn come back around
When saturn come back around
When saturn come back around
When saturn come back around

90’s Darling
Lyrics by David Cutting/Dust Cwaine
Produced by Josh Eastman
Scraped knees polysporin
Riding our bikes till the street lights come on
A game of grounders nobody can win
Sitting waiting wishing for our lives to begin
Be kind rewind
You could never leave me behind
I’m in every song you sing
I can be your 90’s darling
With the Murmur of the VCR
You know exactly who you are
I'm in every song that you sing
Cuz im your 90’s darling
Holes in our shoes from Chasin’ ice cream trucks
Punch buggy champion just dumb luck
Think we are cool with our candy cigarettes
Imaginary matches cuz we haven’t grown up yet
Be kind rewind
You could never leave me behind
I’m in every song you sing
I can be your 90’s darling
With the Murmur of the VCR
You know exactly who you are
I'm in every song that you sing
Cuz im your 90’s darling
The taste of pop rocks on our school yard kiss
Tamagotchi graveyard covered with thick mist
We are the weirdos mister Dont you ever forget
Can’t name a single thing that I would Regret
Being your 90’s darling
Be kind rewind
You could never leave me behind
I’m in every song you sing
I can be your 90’s darling
With the Murmur of the VCR
You know exactly who you are
I'm in every song that you sing
Cuz im your 90’s darling
Be kind rewind
You could never leave me behind
I’m in every song you sing
I can be your 90’s darling
With the Murmur of the VCR
You know exactly who you are
I'm in every song that you sing
Cuz im your 90’s darling
I am your 90’s Darling

Hearts in Atlantis
Lyrics by David Cutting/Dust Cwaine
Production by Iris Yakymy and Josh Eastman
We’re just strangers on the street, Though I see you in my dreams
Im sorry do we know each other, I just cant help but think I know you
Here comes that funny feeling again, You know that I can't hide it
Where our story ends it begins again
Yea we got this past life advantage
We left our hearts in atlantis
Make a wish and hope it gets granted
Finding you in every life is enchanted
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis, Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis,
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis
Finding you in every life’s enchanted, Finding you in every life’s enchanted
Finding you in every life’s enchanted
Show me the soft side of your palm, Slight curve towards the life line
(Just like mine just like mine)
Bet I guess your favourite colour, It's always the same
Here comes that funny feeling again, You know that I can't hide it
Knew you then i'll know you now it's just a silly game
Yea we got this past life advantage
We left our hearts in atlantis
Make a wish and hope it gets granted
Finding you in every life is enchanted
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis, Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis,
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis
Finding you in every life’s enchanted, Finding you in every life’s enchanted
Finding you in every life’s enchanted
Have you ever just met someone randomly on the street and wondered why you think you know them so well or where you think you know them from?
Its like our souls a re caught in a constant loop so that we get to live out eternity with one another we get to experience love in all its torturous glory, And love aint about getting it right Sometimes it takes thousands of lifetimes just to hit the sweet spot
Be brave love on our hearts are in atlantis
You are all my river children
Yea we got this past life advantage
We left our hearts in atlantis
Make a wish and hope it gets granted
Finding you in every life is enchanted
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis, Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis,
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis
Finding you in every life’s enchanted,
Yea we got this past life advantage
We left our hearts in atlantis
Make a wish and hope it gets granted
Finding you in every life is enchanted
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis, Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis
Ha Ha Hearts in Atlantis
Finding you in every life is enchanted,Finding you in every life is enchanted
Finding you in every life is enchanted,Finding you in every life is enchanted

Unicorn River Child
Lyrics by David Cutting
Music and Production by Josh Eastman
My life sits motionless in front of me
I just wait and see if it gets better
Most days I wake up and feel like shit
that’s ok i'll just take more psychedelics
avoid pain until I can get attention
Doing it my way always bad at convention
Unicorn River Child
Barefoot running wild
A heart that wants to be free
Save your best parts for me
Unicorn River Child
Unicorn River child
I had a sears catalog coming of age
my claim to fame was as a bed wetter
The cruelest are out there all day
using the internet like a high school hallway
I always think its healed cuz I wished it away
A Planning for the future during the end days
Unicorn River Child
Barefoot running wild
A heart that wants to be free
Save your best parts for me
Unicorn River Child
Unicorn River child
Bridge
The longer I live the less I know
Addicted to the pain i’ll never let go
My obsession with the afterlife
Probably causes you some strife
It took 1000 moments just to create this
Just know my card is always the star
A fool's journey begins in the dark
Just an Arcane way of thinkin’
Unicorn River Child
Barefoot running wild
A heart that wants to be free
Save your best parts for me
Unicorn River Child
(Save your best part for me)
Unicorn River child
(Let yourself be free)
Unicorn River child
