(Listen to sobriety Always in the third degree When you wake up you’ll see All the things that I have seen This is all you get It’s all you’ll ever net) When you wake up you will see All these things I’ve seen Then you’ll know what I mean Don’t waste your time with me Soon I’ll set you free Don’t you know we should be free Listen to sobriety Yeah you got to listen Always in the third degree (This is all you get It’s all you’ll ever net) Don’t try and lecture me And teach me your philosophy Don’t you know the truth is always free I have to set you free (Chorus) This is all you get It’s all you’ll ever net When you wake up you’ll see All of these atrocities Don’t believe all you see I’m deafened by the din of your screams (Don’t believe all you see Nothing’s what it seems to be) (Chorus) This is all you get It’s all you’ll ever net All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

The Preacher 05:22
lyrics

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher Vanity of vanities, all is vain What profit hath a man of all his labor under the sun One generation passes away and another comes Then the preacher says to them You should tell me all your sins And say a hundred amens But don’t forget to give your tenth Seven Sundays since a stroll to the corner And the man in the long robe cries, all is vain Did you really think he’d sing another tune for you Another generation passes away and so do you Then the preacher says to them All have fallen short and sinned Better say a hundred amens I’ll pray for you a good word I’ll put in But did you think he cared Did you think he had the power to save And did you fall away Or did you buy the creed of spoon-fed faith And did you think he’d share Did you think he’d lead you through the gate And did you go astray Or did you buy the creed of spoon-fed faith And blind guides paralyze And blind guides their hands full of tithes Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher Vanity of vanities, all is vain What profit hath a man of all his labor under the sun This generation passes away and now you’re done And blind guides swallow lies And blind guides they’re dead inside All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

And so I let you down I dropped your feet to the ground I never meant to bruise your soul Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray This one baby got away And so I lift you up All the way to the top I never meant to hold you down Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray This one baby got away Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray Don’t let this one get away Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray Don’t let this one slip away So your not what I found You turned around upside down I didn’t see just who you were Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray This one baby got away And So I found you now It’s such a radical sound To hear your voice it speaks to me Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray This one baby got away (She slipped away) Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray Don’t let this one get away Just like sheep we’ve all gone astray Don’t let this one slip away All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Tinnitus 04:37
lyrics

There is a noise inside my mind A steady tone that’s amplified A symptomatic subjective sound Breaks the silence then surrounds Feedback loops play continuously Oscillating phantom frequencies I need to drown it out I need to kill the sound I need to break this down Crosstalk acoustic shock Echoes that never stop Interference that can’t be blocked Crosstalk that never stops There’s a ringing in my ear And I just can’t seem to hear There’s a screaming in my ear That I just can’t seem to clear A symptomatic perception of sound Creates a circuit that can’t be unwound I need to drown it out I need to kill the sound I need to break this down Crosstalk acoustic shock Echoes that never stop Interference that can’t be blocked Crosstalk that never stops There’s a ringing in my ear And I just can’t seem to hear There’s a screaming in my ear That I just can’t seem to clear There’s a ringing in my ear And it’s bringing me close to tears Someone’s screaming in my ear And it’s been ringing for years All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

When you wake up you’ll see All these things I have seen Then you will know what I mean Don’t waste your time with me Soon I will set you free Don’t you know we should be free Do you know the world you see Isn’t what they said it’d be Yet you still believe Don’t believe all you see Nothing’s what it seems to be I’m deafened by the din of your screams And believe me when I tell you That the world doesn’t love you Don’t try and lecture me And teach me your philosophy Don’t you know the truth is free Don’t waste your time with me Soon I’ll get up and leave I have to set you free When you wake up you’ll see All of these atrocities Then you’ll know exactly what I mean Don’t give up all your bets Just because of my regrets And believe me when I tell you That the world doesn’t love you No, the world doesn’t love you When you wake up you’ll see Nothing’s what it seems to be I’m deafened by the din of your screams Don’t give up all your hope Even at the end of your rope Believe me when I tell you That the world doesn’t love you No, the world doesn’t love you All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

When I Die 04:27

And when I die I, will say my goodbyes And leave you with words of why I had to... (Ooh, ooh) To a place made of gold With fields of marigolds (Ooh, ooh) In a sky wrapped with bows All the saints dressed in robes And when you die Hide all the tears from your eyes And lead me To a place where all is young and new (Ooh, ooh) Where no one gets old And the days are never cold (Ooh, ooh) No debts to ever owe And the nights they never show But in the day when your house trembles And your pillars bow And your grinders cease and crumble And your windows are hard to see through But there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to be with you And when I die I, will see you All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

You're A Hurricane 04:35
lyrics

I have to say You are just like a hurricane Always blowing your driving rain Spinning depression that you maintain Wind and pressure you can’t restrain Surging waves of torrential pain All this torment making me insane Ooh, you’re a hurricane So you come ashore and you entertain The very thought that maybe I’m to blame For the path of destruction that still remains And circulates with such disdain Ooh, you’re a hurricane And round and round, And round and round we go And round and round, And round and round we go And round and round, And round and round we go And round and round, And spiral down we go And now you throw Thrashing walls of insulting names Spiraling downward in a fit of rage Drowning me in a flood of shame Toxic fronts collide without constraint No matter what I just can’t assuage You crashing down like the rock of Cain Ooh, you’re a hurricane Surging waves of torrential pain All this torment making me insane Eroding what’s left of my scatterbrain Evaporate this it’s inhumane Ooh, you’re a hurricane (Chorus) All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Unnatural fascination It’s just an invitation Gossip and celebration Tickles our inner sensations It’s just our graphic nature Masochistic culture Carnage with a scandal Cheating and lying vandals Doesn’t even hold a candle To what you think you can handle It’s just our graphic nature Masochistic culture Do you have the intestinal fortitude To watch me bleed and are you fascinated by Tales of debauchery It’s just our graphic nature Is it only human nature Unnatural fascination It’s just an invitation Gossip and celebration Tickles our inner sensations It’s just our graphic nature Voyeuristic vultures Do you have the intestinal fortitude To watch me bleed and are you fascinated by Tales of debauchery It’s our graphic nature Masochistic culture It’s just our graphic nature Is it only human nature It’s just our graphic nature Unnatural state of nature All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

How can you be so cruel What did I ever do All I did was give my love to you How can you be so cruel You were the one that came to me You said you needed me And now all I have to say You’re the one that through it away I can’t believe what you did I can’t believe what you hid you are so stone cold your are axis bold How can you be so cruel What did I ever do All I did was give my love to you Then suddenly you’re untrue It’s all the things you said All the things going through my head I can’t believe we’re through How can you be so cruel You were so unkind It’s true my love was blind You took advantage of my faith in you But your ghost is so see through You try to haunt me in my dreams Like shadows on a movie screen All these images in my head A Jezebel with an open bed How can you be so cruel What did I ever do All I did was give my love to you Then suddenly you’re untrue It’s all the things you said All the things going through my head I can’t believe your infidelity You’ve got zero morality You weren’t the one you claimed to be You were too insane for me You were the one who betrayed And now you through it all away I can’t believe what you did I can’t believe what you hid you are so stone cold your are axis bold (Chorus) All words/lyrics written by Brian Eaton ©2011 BSE Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Light, it shines my way If only I would look And not turn away Life, it comes my way If only I would open up And embrace You are the one who shines And they can’t take that away I am the one who’s blind As the light becomes more gray I cannot seem to find I’ve lost my only way You are the one who shines Fractured and defrayed Night, no shadows to face If only just a constant The abstract decays Die, like a seed in the shade Only to rise again And quench the flame You are the one who shines The source that radiates I am the one who’s blind As the light becomes more gray I cannot seem to find The ones that gravitate You are the one who shines In esoteric waves Light, it shines my way If only I would look And not turn away Life, it comes my way If only I would open up And embrace (Chorus) Ooh...

BRIAN EATON Portland, Oregon

From sitting in on drums at an L.A. jazz club at age nine to jamming with Gilby Clarke (former Guns ‘N Roses guitarist) in his older brother’s band at 11, Brian Eaton found the spark in a pair of sticks that ignited his passion at an early age.
