Spoken: My own little world. Create my own little world where I could be the one who had the complete control. Where I didn’t have to bow to anyone else's demands. I just took it way too far.
2.
Am·I·King? 03:24
I will make you mine Fall on your knees Am I king?  Sing putty mouth Keep in the dark for the king Sweetness never could I let you get away Is it alright when I give you what you need? I could never let you leave cause you’d like it Isn’t it nice? Is it serendipity? Did it happen naturally? Could you like it? Under the knife I can alter who you are I can alter who you’ll be and you like it You don’t know what you are Eyes should show you You don’t know where to start I should show you
3.
I don’t know where all these thoughts arise from  Where they disappear where do they go?   If I could forgive all of the branding Everything I could I would unknow You are the work of your loudest surroundings You are the eyes in your sensory garden Ha Ha wouldn’t you know, you are not the maker then Does this rob the people that you thought we were? Ha Ha wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t want to listen then Does this rob the people that we always were?
4.
Gimme that smile Gimme that vile Gimme that crescendo Gimme that high Gimme that bye Gimme that patient shaven satan I dunno how but could we just see? How do you find peace?   How to define peace? People can’t see what they’ve been sold People stay free when they’re withholding, darling  Gimme that story that you tell to your strangers but I know what’s inside Maybe the devils in your skin with a secret Easy they just believe but never is it really as it seems Gimme that story that you sell to your family but I know what’s inside Maybe some stories weren’t meant for you sharing Sweeter it is this way
5.
The famished mind The need to feed Forgive the time Forget the me If mojo come my son where are you from? Come reach for ether’s hand  Send me an order now I’ve come to let you out Cause I’d just like you to be free   When dying for perfection You're living for mistakes You are the overseer You make the makers make But the people let the people live life They'll cheer with broken bodies They'll wink with sunken eyes  All your time spent thinking on thinking on it  Ain’t no body in the atmosphere Suddenly they disappear  You keep kind and I’ll never sleep
6.
What gives it that feel? I am beside the family I admire most The human droves they that come and go You stay around  And that’s just good enough for me I don’t wanna leave but you knew I would I don’t wanna leave I know that you’ll leave but it’s been so good  I knew that you’d leave
7.
Who is a rich man?  Who is a rich man?   A growing Island And now it's closing up you’re never given up You gunna keep it all? I see you made it I know you hate it when they are hungry But in the day to day when they are far away You simply tune it out  Is it just the money that you’re gunna chase? You never miss a meal because you had a taste? Your momma and your papa must of bubbled you up But you never made it outside You’ll die beside your kingdom  
8.
Everything's connected in the golden age
9.
Free the victim in the childhood town Future bending ending years clamped down Just keep me honest Yeah I’m sitting here but I feel so far away You've seen the story of farewell Long distance always goes to hell I know Good good tell ’em it’s fine Everybody wait for your fate OK?  Good good gimme what’s mine Everybody wait for the date OK? There goes the siren I am the escapee I don’t know what I’ll find but Everybody know that I’ve got to see Hidden the titan That I can finally free I don’t know what I’ll find but Everybody wake with a quake OK?
10.
You may never hear the door, but it’s gunna keep knocking I don’t know what you have done with Someone I had known With a silent intuition Always yeah and a no And year after year you had claimed it was still you’re moving So now when you speak will you cover your ears just to mute it? And now can you tell they can sell the allure of inclusion But what good is done when you’re lost in a state of confusion
11.
I realize a little It’s not over  Hear me touch me where’s me?    The boat tipped over  and that water just won’t quit Memories they’re lazy God damn brain won’t keep them in Look at me Am I crumbling? Silently it’s begun  Come to me like I tell you  Come to me with no voice Give it a while and your smiles gunna help you hide away Give it a while and your smiles gunna keep you home You took my face now I am the stranger I crumble cause to live is to remember   Just take the money it was never enough Who is this that I was? Who is this I’ve become?  I don’t understand how but you must just let go Of the sweetest memories you had had I’m sinking in the body of a former me This shouldn’t be the way that you remember me Use the eyes you saw with long ago  I didn’t mean to make it out of my mind but I am cause it eats at my head Comin for you
12.
Veer me off of the street Weary eyes from the reign of the mundane Pussyfoot out of hell And everything is gunna change for the moment Forgive your inner speak for now I am your mantra Call quick your psyches sick lay down for your healer. Just disappear while I take you home It’s easier to rule with what you know You never knew you had it till you don't I always want but I never need Till you arrive Crown the clock king Extending the tick for me Suspending the the talk in me then  Meander me out somewhere There’s no one here but I Maestro I’m by your side I’m sprouting in your mind Though I could never walk the ground  I’m here while you’re around I’m breathing with you now And when it’s done you’ll know to rest To rest your eyes Within an end’s a quiet start To figure out

about

"Afro·brain is a journey, clocking in at 12 tracks and 50 minutes, but it is never dull. Each track exudes a sort of otherworldly eeriness akin to great works of ambient or trip hop music...It will bend and plant seeds in your mind, while also managing to be a very enjoyable listen as well. Music of this caliber is what makes up the lifeblood of a city like Louisville’s music scene."
-Louisville.com

"How do you describe the indescribable? This is the problem I find myself faced with every time I write about Kaleidico, a band that defies any and all ready comparisons...there is no doubt that every single sound that you hear, from the drums to the synth to the voice was and is at every turn scrutinized and carefully measured against the weight of the whole..."
-LEO Weekly

"It gives me the vibe of doggedly sludging through an icy, inhospitable land while on some sort of noble quest..."
-My Old Kentucky Blog

"Afrobrain builds on the magic and mystery of their previous work in a way that feels natural."
-NeverNervous
