Bad magic In my pocket In my ear It's already here It's so tragic The way you have it In your pocket In your ear But we all want it Nothing can stop it Pray for peace Every day Why has it gone away? Or was it ever here? Oh bad magic I'm forming habits I'm an addict For bad magic Oh bad magic Are you a prophet? Are you honest? Are you ecstatic?

Is my whole life ahead of me? Or has it already started? Is there any buzz left in front of me? Or am I already forgotten? Have I messed up too many things? Have I kissed all the wrong rings? I'm not sure And that's my problem Is there any time left inside of me? Or am I aging too gracefully? Have I made too many enemies? Have I behaved faithfully? Have I messed up too many things? Have I kissed all the wrong rings? I'm not sure And that's my problem That's my problem That's my problem You've got to admit When you have a problem Because when you admit you have a problem You can take responsibility for your problem And you can hire a twenty-five person team to solve your problem

God I don't want to be scared no more It's been fun but I'm done being scared no more I only want to use it as a survival skill Not as an everyday skill Please I'm begging you please Please I'm begging you please Please I'm begging you please Please I'm begging you please God I don't want to be scared no more Please guide me so I won't be scared no more It's so hard for me to think about nothing Because I'm always thinking about something Please I'm begging you please Please I'm begging you please Please I'm begging you please Please I'm begging you please I guess I'll say yes to everything for the rest of my life Ya it will be alright I guess I'll say yes to everything for the rest of my life Ya it will be alright I guess I'll say yes to everything for the rest of my life Hey ya it will be alright alright

It's been a long time Where did all the fun go? You've been crying Where did all our love go? I can't believe You were ever care-free Just tell me What makes you happy I can't believe You were ever care-free Just tell me What makes you happy It's been a long time Where did all the fun go baby? You've been fine Just wearing your halo baby

You light up the room with your smile I haven't seen you for a while I went on your Facebook Profile the other day Where did you go? Why didn't you stay? Why am I older than you? I was never supposed to be older than you God made you in His eye But you never really had to try Something about you is so disarming And I got jealous because I was never as charming Why am I older than you? I was never supposed to be older than you I wish I could ask you about AI If you liked Aphex Twin Or if you intended to die What did you think of the new Indiana Jones movie? And what did you think of Bob Dylan's 18 minute song about the JFK assassination? Why am I older than you? I was never supposed to be older than you Why oh why am I older than you? I was never supposed to be older than you

Bells are ringing we just had Canadian Thanksgiving Carollers singing we just had Canadian Thanksgiving Oh what can you do? When you're out in the blue You just got stood up On Canadian Thanksgiving Parade just ended Friendship mended Canadian Thanksgiving Leaves are falling Snow is squalling Canadian Thanksgiving Oh what can you do? When you just got bad news You just slipped on ice Fighting for your life On Canadian Thanksgiving

How much is a song these days? A quarter tone to make it go away I do nothing I do nothing Anyway Anyway

about

This album was recorded between September 2023 and March 2024. I tried mixing it for a while and was going crazy so I got Rob McLay to help me out and he really did a great job. Rob McLay mastered it as well. Amryn Shae took the photos and I performed the graphic design role. Vitamin Steve helped me with a few vocal melodies on "I Can't Believe".

Thank you for the support this was crazy to make.

Oh and one more thing...

A very special thanks to the hardworking folks at Garageband...without them this album would have not been possible.
