  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    The first track actually contains two "songs": the intro "Join Us In The Fields" and the song "To The Girl In The Nirvana T-Shirt". To try to be cool, we placed them on the same track so that they would run straight into each other.

    The first Black Eddy CD and the first in our "Road Sign Trilogy" of EPs. We hadn't completely lost our minds by this point but were well on our way. It's okay to be strange though. Give it a listen and see what we mean!

Join Us In The Fields: The future is bright The music is coming Join us in the fields And feel like you're part of something It's like a heavenly choir This is our church Our religion That taught us to love Gave us something to believe in That taught us to love To see behind the lies Takes us to worlds unseen by the eye Here we are together To revel in its beauty Here we are together Let me hear you sing To The Girl In The Nirvana T-Shirt: It started as a sound And a feeling in your soul You followed that white rabbit Down that big old rabbit hole Pantera, Doors, Alice in Chains Nirvana, Metallica and Jefferson Aeroplane Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 1984 The House at Pooh Corner Blade Runner and On the Road Then you started having fun Resonate with you found You thought this was everyone No, it's the underground It's the underground x4 So when the fuckers get you down And you feel like you're alone Just think about the bands That opened up this brave new world And they're not the only ones You also have the fans So here you are amongst us This is it It's the underground x8

On a night In the light Of a war Two souls Hope Alone In their minds Need to find Some dream To pass the time In their dreams All they see Is at peace Fighting through A hopeless state Of apathy There's a spark In their hearts And they know If they could only Find each other They'd be home Star-crossed lovers living either side of Hell Touched each other in ways to hard to tell Falling in love. Opening each other's eyes Making holy and evil pass of time It was dark in the heart of the battle Fighting waves of demonic possession A war between virtue and vice Two beings: one of dark; one of light United in this spiritual fight But not caring if they're wrong or right Holding each other's fates in their hands As they prepare to take their last stand Star-crossed lovers living either side of Hell Touched each other in ways to hard to tell Falling in love. Opening each other's eyes Making holy and evil pass of time He saw that the war was over He looked into the eyes of his lover He saw in their pools only pain And he knew his own were the same He turned from her gaze in despair Their tears fell on wings pure and fair It destroyed him to do what he did Two blades: one for her; one for him And I for winking at your discords too have lost a brace of kinsmen: all are punish'd.

Naked Lunch 03:42
Can you hear me Or am I just inside your mind? Is this really happening? Read my lips Read my mind Was that you Or was it me bleeding in? What was that about illusion? What was that about a dream? I flew Too close Too soon to reach for the Sun I flew Too close God damn these Icarus wings I wanna capture your dreams I wanna tell you the truth You are your soul, but your mind is gone What was that about illusion? What was that about a dream? x4 Can you truly tell me You know just where you are? A communal dream Alone your dream Was that you Or was it me bleeding in? What was that about illusion? What was that about a dream? I flew Too close Too soon to reach for the Sun I flew Too close God damn these Icarus wings I wanna capture your dreams I wanna tell you the truth You are your soul, but your mind is gone What was that about illusion? What was that about a dream? x4 Out of all the things I've lost I think I miss my mind the most This is why I'm forever alone This is why. This is why I reach for the Sun x4 You are your soul, but your mind is gone What was that about illusion? What was that about a dream?

It's a cruel, cruel world But we have great optimism for the future Look how far we've come Hold onto your ideals Let them illuminate the path You shall have your perfect world We shall have our perfect world We will be free The revolution has spoken We're everything you don't want us to be We won't live the lies that you've laid out for us We're everything you don't want us to be We won't give up the fight We won't give up the cause We won't be a slave to your whims of oppression We let the light and see the darkness withdraw We're everything you don't want us to be And we'll take control using your cage and your laws La la la La la la We're everything you don't want us to be We won't be your slaves and we won't be your toys We grow in the womb of your prison and control You're just what we need to bring an end to it all We won't use your guns. The revolution has spoken You've given all that we need in this war Brazen as you are as we fuck with the system Use the arts and the media to see this corporate shit fall La la la La la la And we're trying so hard to believe We'll discover a way to be free And we're trying so hard to believe We can end war and suffering We sing all this shit for the new generation Let the young blood know what our struggle's all about You're never gonna put an end to our protest You'll never silence the truth that burns in our hearts La la la La la la And we're trying so hard to believe We'll discover a way to be free And we're trying so hard to believe We can end war and suffering And we're trying so hard to believe We'll discover a way to be free And we're trying so hard to believe We can end war and suffering

Old Emotions 04:09
I still remember those old emotions Lovesick, dreaming of the poison You got me wrong. You got me scared Cursed, afraid, my feelings rare Everyone I know Seems to breed despair And everyone I know Doesn't seem to care The conductor on this stage of pain Is tearing all my dreams away I still remember those old emotions Lovesick, dreaming of the poison My heart's a toy; my mind, a game Can't figure out how to say Everyone I know Seems to breed despair And everyone I know Doesn't seem to care The conductor on this stage of pain Is tearing all my dreams away I beat it once I got away But still it haunts me Every day When I think of those It took from me I crawl inside myself and weep The Doors used to play As the smoke blew away Every sense of myself that I had left I blame myself My friends were blind Caught up in the dream Of their minds' eye I don't know how I never died...
