lyrics
(Verse 1)
Devoted mostly to only the loneliest emotions
Holds bogus motives bout To Cozy quick with Explosives
Dog and pony chauvinist Cloned with a Potent mix of doses
Disregard the boasting They’re phony rich for promotion
Clashing with closeness Attracted to loathing
Your not half in the bag You just mastered the moment
Fugitive status savagery for the Dramatic closing
Fantasizing the demise of a past life’s opponent
Not withholding eroded hopes and Frozen momentum
Scared to tell the truth even though it wont offend em
Overthrowing agenda’s accepting memento’s as ransom
Prone to tantrums Never should of told us we were handsome
There’s levels to this Develry
Hell will be waiting patiently with felony revelry
Stop selling me your elementary weaponry
Next destination better be where Serenity’s the melody
(HOOK)
We’re just Bazaar little scared humans
Chiseled outta start dust and charred ruins
Fearful of a Future as an apathetic Barred mutant
burning down our own house can’t Charge us with looting (x2)
(Verse 2)
Dear elusive Zen, your my truest friend I meant it
You keep me sharp enough to slice through cement with my genetics
It shouldn’t take a mastermind to find contentment
I’ve accepted burning out but don’t wanna die like Lennon
Keeps the secrets deep in an unassuming tool
Signed away the deed to a dungeon full of ghouls
We got everything you need except a deity of fools
When the mission’s achieved go and summon me a jewel
Somebody numb to slumber so I can run with the thunder
Exist in infinite summers dismiss definitive bummers
Petition primitive thinkers to tinker in tongues til my dishes can huuver
Commission mystics to switch statistics and ditch the numbers
Heartbreaks a hell of a thing to wake up and vanquish
Call maintenance save face with self love its thankless
On a life long quest to heal its best to deal with changes presented
With flagrant awareness and a taste of pavement
(HOOK)
We’re just Bazaar little scared humans
Chiseled outta start dust and charred ruins
Fearful of a Future as an apathetic Barred mutant
burning down our own house can’t Charge us with looting (x2)
(Outro)
Got my forcefield on now Im ready to go (x4)
Devoted mostly to only the loneliest emotions
Holds bogus motives bout To Cozy quick with Explosives
Dog and pony chauvinist Cloned with a Potent mix of doses
Disregard the boasting They’re phony rich for promotion
Clashing with closeness Attracted to loathing
Your not half in the bag You just mastered the moment
Fugitive status savagery for the Dramatic closing
Fantasizing the demise of a past life’s opponent
Not withholding eroded hopes and Frozen momentum
Scared to tell the truth even though it wont offend em
Overthrowing agenda’s accepting memento’s as ransom
Prone to tantrums Never should of told us we were handsome
There’s levels to this Develry
Hell will be waiting patiently with felony revelry

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives
by Ceschisupported by 32 fans who also own “Elusive Zen”
Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world.

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment.

Eyedea: The Many Faces of Mikey
by Micheal Larsensupported by 23 fans who also own “Elusive Zen”
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless.
