Self: Song 1 On and On
Verse 1
Here we are, on stages of the grandest masquerade
My we’re strange
Here we sit, creatures in the feature of the show
Do I know you?
Chorus
We’re made of the substance of parades
We’re saved by who?
Today, we are finding a new face
A brand new race
Verse 2
Here we are, morphing and eclipsing our last stage
We’re deranged
Here I go, diving into clouds where gods do rage
And I’m late
Chorus
We’re made of the substance of charades
We’re saved by who?
Today, we are finding a new face
A brand new race
OUTRO
Here we are, and on and on and on and on it goes
Here I go, divin’ into clouds where gods do rage… and I’m late
Here we are, and on and on and on and on it goes
Here we are, morphin’ and eclipsin’ our last stage… we’re deranged
Here we are, and on and on and on and on it goes…
Self: Song 2 TOY
Verse 1
I hear your laughter
It’s cold, like December
In the sea I am tossed about
Like a ship with no port to dock at
There’s no answers
Chorus 1
I hear the noise
There’s a rumbling machine that thinks I’m a toy
I’m a toy
Verse 2
I see the monster
It’s old, as the hills are
In the forest lookin’ for the sun
See the clearing could this be the one?
But there’s no answers
Chorus 2
I hear the noise
There’s a rumbling machine that thinks I’m a toy
I’m a toys x4
Self: Song 3 My Kite
Where is the child that I was?
When everything had no meaning
Before there was a label for
Everything that ever was
...
Where is my charming little doll?
The search is on for the seeker
I've experimented for
Way too long My Heart
Longs for truth, won't stop
My soul is tired of being in this knot
My kite dive and swoops inside my deep subconscious
Watches thoughts and dreams and demons screaming inside
While I it watch it all and I do I watch it all right now
V2
Looking directly at God
Or so I thought that I was
Now I'm looking back on the looker
Everything that lurks inside
...
Who is this charming little doll?
The one who looks for the seeker
I've searched for way too long
Way too long my heart
Longs for truth won't stop
My soul is tired of being in this knot
CHORUS
Self: Song 4 Nothing and Nobody
Verse 1
If I could be a nothing
If I could be a nothing
If I could be a nothing and nobody
(Repeat)
Live my tree of peace
Be a tree of peace
(Repeat)
Chorus
I close my eyes and still the winds
I close my eyes and still the rains
I vanish from before my eyes
And meld into my deepest self
Mmm mmm, Mmm mmm mmm, Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
La da... La da da... La da da da da da (repeat)
Self: Song 5 Faraway Place
Verse 1
And now she’s gone
And now she’s gone from my heart
And here I am
Gone to a faraway place
CH
And all that I feel
And all that I felt, was it true
And now that I’m gone, away
It’s all a dream
V2
I sing a song
A song for all to hear
Feel beating hearts, and love grows near to my heart
CH
And now I’m gone
The feelings far from my heart
Yet here I am
Gone to a faraway place

Self: song 6 Which Will (Cover - Nick Drake)
V1
Which will you go for?
Which will you love?
Which will you choose from?
From the stars above... x2
Which will you answer?
Which will you call?
Which will you take for
For your one and all?
CH1
And tell me now
Which will you love the best?
V2
Which do you dance for?
Which makes you shine?
Which will you choose, now
If you won't choose mine?
Which will you hope for?
Which can it be?
Which will you take, now
If you won't take me? X2
CH2
And tell me now
Which will you love the best?
Self: Song 7 Ramana
V1
Prayers bring the love from an angel that did live
On a heavenly mountain
To him I now will sing when the heavens they bring the pain
And ask him to bear it
CH
His eyes they sparkle with love x4
V2
There's a sun that sits behind me but a dark cloud is between us
The wise many does burn it
There's a light that shines behind me with a speck that sits between us
And I must remove it
CH
His eyes they sparkle with love x4

Self: Song 9 Acid Stars
Verse 1
He walked on a boat that was setting to sail
Sailed to horizon the wind at their tail
A poor boy, he waited
A poor girl, did beckon
They fell through a hole in the middle of sea
Down a vortex in infinity
Their bodies shivered
Their minds stopped and quivered
Chorus
(OOh) And he experienced everything at once
(OOh) His body in its physical location
(OOh) Thoughts zipping and zapping, fluttering and clapping
And then all at once, he was watching himself
Verse 2
He stepped on the dock with a flower in hand
Walked to the gate of a newly found land
A poor girl, was waiting
With ruby eyes, sparkling
They walked hand in hand, to a palace all white
Sat down to look in the mirrors of light
Their bodies melted
Their minds stopped and quivered
Chorus (OOOh during each line)
And they experienced everything at once
Stars churning in galactic galaxies
Newly formed acid stars dancing
Then all at once, they were watching themselves
He was watching her, he was watching him
And there were sparkling stars all around her eyes
He dove inside, into infinity
She looked at him, entranced, melted into each other
And the acid stars danced for all eternity
He always remembered that moment – they were looking at themselves
