Faces looking upward At the blue sky Weatherman on the Tv Says it'll rain tonight Black cats crossing alleys Evil on their minds Spacemen on the job Saving our kind when the stars start falling Will you lay down and die? (Stars fall from the sky) when the world is colla psing Will you pray to survive? (Worlds collapse and die) Down down down bring the rain Down down down it comes again (Down, down, down....) Omens near the moon Pelting little stones Horoscopes in the paper Ending very soon Sinners doing good Playing it safe With asteroids around the corner Everybody's blue when the stars start falling Will you stop telling lies? And when the world is collapsing stop pretending and smile? Down down down bring the rain Down down down it comes again

I had it inside What you had in sight But they shot it down With their laser eyes while you only smiled Im looking around In whatever surrounds Under the bed, My flashlight is dead But I've never fled Now you don't seem to think that I know you You didn't know they'd ever control you But they're doing it now, with their dancing clowns And we know its fine... Dont care to believe All the things that you see Like internet friends And the current trends Have they never lied? Now you don't seem to think that I know you You didn't know they'd ever control you But they're doing it now, with their dancing clowns And we know its fine... What's lost and is found Is broken and drowned Well, its not the same Its rather lame To think It is fixed Now you don't seem to think that I know you You didn't know they'd ever control you But they're doing it now, with their dancing clowns And we know its fine...

Space Quest 06:54
They sent us on a cosmic chase A legendary quest Through time and space To save the dying human race Said a nameless face Of the mega corporation. So we pack our bags Update the maps Check for scanner lag Call upon a scientist From the lab Who joins this merry gang Space travel ain't easy It takes a hardened man Of heart and soul as pure as gold And eyes that shine in the dark Now swimming Through stars Lightyears apart In the nuclear jar Doomed from the start Was a monster in the dark But our eyes wouldn't shine With a shriveled spine We saw what confined Can cross the line And all us nine Were really really funked ;) Space travel ain't easy It takes a hardened man Of heart and soul as pure as gold And eyes that shine in the dark So I hacked and sawed Through astronauts Whose brains had burnt Maddening hot From being in space Too very long Headed to Earth Im frozen in ice Travelling through time Didn't turn out so nice A thousand years from here I'll be home again.... Space travel ain't easy It takes a hardened man Of heart and soul as pure as gold And eyes that shine in the dark

In the Sea 03:45
One man mind alone He crawls onto the floor Break all evil bind Thinks to nevermind Speak in many tense Tiger fright intense He head on to the bend Fails on all intent And sometimes in the sea It falls on oceans free I saw all to be seen And then felt to be free Walking in his mind Never too unkind Lights bright in sight Sparkle biting bright And sometimes in the sea It falls on oceans free I saw all to be seen And then felt to be free. (Ad lib)

about

This is the debut album by Piranha Pond.
Recorded in Musicians Institute, Los Angeles between April and September 2014.

Recorded over 6 months of painstaking work and practically zero budget, we were finally able to put our vision forward. Everything was done in-house from inception to distribution. We booked our own studio time, learned many skills on the way, also made our own hand-drawn artwork.

Shikhar has now moved to Mumbai but Pierce and him have plans to record another album very soon (we already have a bunch of songs written). Show us some love and buy our album. We can make an album for practically free because we are awesome ;) but we still have to pay for plane tickets and food.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and read. If you can't spare any cash don't sweat it. Just by listening to it alone and sharing it with your friends you are doing us a solid!
