Lyrics: Love isn’t everyone or everything Love isn’t happiness for all to see Love isn’t what you do or what you say Love isn’t making it through today Love isn’t time, truth, or understanding Love isn’t will, or fear, or pretending Or is it giving someone what they need It’s living the life of who you want to be Your skin pressed to mine…cold. Plastic dreams of living long We live more to die When we’re gone are we really gone? Do minds outlive time? Show— How we dance far above the stars Your skin pressed to mine…cold.

Lyrics: Even though we tried... To run away Get away From the Pain of— This second life of mine I can’t run away From this second life of mine Hold me closer to your flesh As I freeze the world today From a distance I see happiness At least I thought so—anyway Hear lost smiles—with your touch Time has left us all again Please forget you ever knew me…and Three words I never said. (Chorus): And what I thought Isn’t what you’d be Is what you’d want to see You unplug me That, I’ll guarantee. Hear my sadness scream A storm of data to the skies Do I belong to you, or you to I? Deep within we pray I never pray But I prayed That I prayed now To take back words I say No—I wouldn’t say That I would unsay them now Listen—can we talk about How the world was yesterday? Will the next one end tomorrow? Will the last one start today? (Chorus): And what I thought Isn’t what you’d be Is what you’d want to see You killed my heart. That, I guarantee. Hear my sadness scream A storm of data to the skies Do I belong to you, or you to I? What can you say When life gives up on me now? (now, now, now) Can I cope living two lives? What did you do When I said what I mean now? (now, now, now) Log me on. Leave me behind.

Lyrics: You know that I love you With all of my heart Though you must understand That on this world… I cannot! Then why did you say… That we would always be? That you would be there. Just you, the stars. And me. I will be! No! Not this time No! Not in this life. My soul can’t live without you. But tonight? Our love has died. Love is like a second wind That allows us all to breathe. But for some they’ll die without a breath Far away…from across the sea… of Stars—you’ll learn to catch glimpse of our love Know that I care. That we’ll meet once more on other worlds That we’d die to just get there. Moving on. For our love across lightyears Seems so far to me Won’t you say? We must find another way. When our love across lightyears Seems so far from me Won’t you say… We can find another way. Moving on now. Moving on. Moving on now. Moving on now. Moving on. Moving on now. Moving on. Moving on now. Moving on now. Moving on.

Lyrics: All the Gods left paradise In cold of oldest cold Living up their lives above us all No fashion sense All the Dead have died in fact I know, I know, it’s known Piled up in bodies torn apart New fashion sense Try me out—wear out my—BODY If it’s hard—do it every way Purchase the newest new model Die to live—to serve another day (Chorus): BOW! TO THE GODS OF THE DEATH! TO BOW! BOW! TO THE GODDESS OF FUKK! Not too soft, here the pain is mine Fuck me dead—never cross the line Come on over baby Climb up closer to me—yeah. Lovely lives for sale—that you can Own, own, own Programmed right to die inside (pleasure domes of) Their fashion sense I’m new now but if you tire Dispose, the old, the old Be the first to set The future fashion sense Try me out—wear out my—BODY If it’s hard—do it every way Purchase the newest new model Die to live—to live another day (Chorus): BOW! TO THE GODS OF THE DEATH! TO BOW! BOW! TO THE GODDESS OF FUCK! Can’t you see that I fulfill a need now? What you need is what you have in me now! When you’re through you can dispose of me…how? Where you do it isn’t up to me at all Build me up as God and tear me down Kiss me hard as Love or kill me now Give me life and take it fast away Deconstruct my soul—I’ll do what you say

Lyrics: Death is just what you thought It is their plan to just hold you back! Days before, you walked the future worlds In disbelief Time is just a burning flame…you cannot betray Let this moment pass Please, one last kiss for me, How…? Now? Now! Can you love what you don’t see? Tomorrow’s life is who you’re meant to be. All I see are saviors Every screen—a light of truth Every screen the gospel Every thought, I thought for you. Will we outlast time—or lose ourselves And the everything That makes us whole? Can we have one last embrace? Forget about our yesterdays— So splendid… The world has changed We’ve lost control (Chorus:) Nothing left to do But to sing Our last rock ’n roll All that’s said has been done What is done that is not said? Numbers shouldn’t struggle What’s the point When nothing lies ahead? If this was my last today I would rock the stage! Looking back no longer seems to bring me forward. Singing out against what mankind’s headed toward. Looking back no longer brings us forward.

Lyrics: Lost—learn to take a breath (Is the self) what lies before you? When you know you’ve got it going on—you breathe Lost—learn to take a breath (Is the self) what lies before you? When you know just how to program lies—you deceive Life—only deals in death Tears lie before you. Where we’re going isn’t far from Hell—I believe Love—doesn’t feel the same When it destroys you Sell your body, buy a new one, be yourself or be me. Die. Die. Die to become perfect…kill the old. The trashed. The new. Embrace. Sleep! Sleep! Asleep. Be numb. Be cold, without hurt. Flesh dies. Erased. Rise! Rise. Arise! Become a beauteous sun. Shine. Divine. And with taste. Be! See yourself reborn. Again and again. Life goes just as far as you can pay. (Flesh goes just as far as you can strain!) (Chorus): And when the Sun rises up, upon the meadow of shadow. You’ll see—all the things that you won’t see. Suns rising up upon the meadows of shadow Arise, we’ll show you who you were meant to be. Lost—learn to take a breath (Is the self) what lies before you? Skies are bleeding broken promises that you made to me Lost—learn to take a breath (Is the self) what lies before you? When you know just how to play the game you can’t be deceived Life—only deals in death Tears lie before you. Where we’re going isn’t far from Hell I believe Love—doesn’t feel the same When it destroys you Bathe together in the last romance aflame by the sea (Bridge/ending): Buy—be yourself in the body you want to be. Die—kill yourself in the body you hate. Be, see yourself born again, for beauty’s sake Live, beyond life, just as long as you can pay (just as long as you can pay…)

Lyrics: What use is life when life is living death? Awake—it’s time to settle the score. Don’t dare to let love strangle or hold you back Without it—you can be much more. I know it’s easy to just sit and hope If you do—you’ll learn to live in the past. Be here now, in this moment—act without a doubt For tonight, it might just be your last (Chorus:) Pull yourself ahead for me… Love…is a desperate word. Love…is a desperate word. Love…is a desperate word. Be your greatest treasure. Think not of the past. Live for now, become your truth For tonight, it might just be your last. Die if it means pleasure. Learn to be your own. Choose the road less traveled on The best future is the one unknown The best laid plans can’t simply fall into place When fear of nothing ventured is loss Never mourn tomorrow, yesterday hasn’t come Time travels forward and never across. The end of this world, just begins the next And the next one’s always in disarray One day may arrive when we are hardly alive Will we fall, or will we find our way? (Chorus:) Pull yourself ahead for me… Love…is a desperate word. Love…is a desperate word. Love…is a desperate word.

about

"Singularity Now" almost didn't happen. After a harsh re-evaluation of what I wanted with regards to the direction of Virtual Intelligence I decided to go through all of the work I had done with my music over the last two years and compile the best of the best. In total, I wrote about twenty songs during this period, and only nine ended up here.

While I hadn't read Douglas Ruskoff's book "Present Shock" at the time, the concepts he discusses with regards to Alvin Toffler's the concept of "Future Shock" being now definitely resonate within the scope of this work. Many of my life experiences from the last ten years of my life made it into "Singularity Now," and although it may not be apparent this album is intensely personal for me as an artist.

In the future will I still need you to recount and make me see?
That I’ll never recover myself--from the machine I’ve become
And the person I’ll never be.

Written, recorded, and mastered from super moon to super blood moon: June 22nd, 2013 to September 27th, 2015.

I would like to thank the following people for their continued support and inspiration:

My beloved Eternal Sphere, Dr. Aquino (Bonne Fête!), M. Apollonius, Tamara, Lilia, Dr. Daniel Simon, Dr. Belinga (thanks for my Blade Runner nose!), Dr. Luis Capitán, Jenny's Nest, Nana-Hannah, the staff of HC Hospital in Marbella, Aeryn and my family in Massachusetts, Angel (I wish we had more time!), Monalisa, Batty Von Bats, H.P. Lovecraft, Phillip K. Dick, Dr. Davis, Mr. Ivy, JF, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Pridgen, G.B. Marian, Hanh Nguyen (aka Mogknight), RadGalaxy, Megan, Des, Morte McAdaver and Sorrowseed, Eric Pelligrini, Clay and Black Coffee Sound, Robert Pollard and Wandering Oak, Robert Ibarra and Immersed in Darkness, Marilyn Sam, Yun and Didi, Lynn and Terese, Run, Abena, Kay, Heather, Zora, the Three Sisters, Bonnie, Tiff and Ben, and all the tentacle porn that kept me entertained over the last two years.

To all the cities I've visited in the last year, Marbella, Madrid, Zurich, Atlanta (more like HOT-Lanta), New York City, Salem, Dallas, Tucson, and Charleston.

THE NIGHT IS DARK AND FULL OF TERROR!
