    A friend of mine called this a masterpiece. I'm not so sure about that, but I am quite proud of this record. Amazing artwork, too. It's a double album, by the way, with a 2nd disc of death-themed covers. Despite the album concept, it's all pretty happy.

    Also includes immediate download of 17-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

about

The best song I've ever written. Maybe. OK, probably.

lyrics

learn to fly

who wants to know when they’re going to die?
he needs to know, says he’s going to try to fly away
and everybody’s watching you and you don’t know what to do
when all the people in the world are trying to push on through
take another look inside
you might make it if you give it one more try
if you open up your eyes
just flap your arms and hit the sky
and pretty soon you’ll learn to fly
they’re telling you what you need to hear
you’re seeing things and they appear to be true
and everybody’s watching you and you don’t know what to do
when all the people in the world are trying to push on through
take another look inside
you might make it if you give it one more try
if you open up your eyes
just flap your arms and hit the sky
and pretty soon you’ll learn to fly
don’t give in, don’t give up
when you’re down on your luck
don’t give in, don’t give up, don’t lose faith, don’t lose
and everybody’s watching you but you don’t know what to do
when all the people in the world are trying to push on through
take another look inside
you might make it if you give it one more try
if you open up your eyes
just flap your arms and hit the sky
and pretty soon you’ll
take another look inside
you might make it if you give it one more try
if you open up your eyes
just flap your arms and kiss the sky
and pretty soon you’ll learn to fly
who wants to know when they’re going to die?
