Track list
The light at the end of the tunnel hit a funnel
That opened up wider at the other side
And I what I found out there was just more struggle
It’s gonna take some muscle just to stay alive
The sign on the post was a glowing spinning arrow
That pointed me to look inside
The shine on the coast
Where the open light narrows
Is cloaked in the night
Now the stars arrive
Purple leaves
Neon green outlines
Light up the fire
It’s about time
Polka dot caps
Jolly Roger
At topmast
Pirate ship passin by
Conscious stream
Leak
Streamlined
Irrigation terrace
Down the hillside
Water wheels in the wishing well
Scooping knee high
Sweet golden honey out the beehive
Shootin fish in a barrel
Shootin fish in a barrel
Shootin fish in a barrel
( Shootin fish in a barrel)
Shootin fish in a barrel
(Shootin fish in a barrel)
Walkin through the hot sand
Hidden in a lost land
Singing chants
Holding up a lava lamp
I’m rockin all off brand
Serving with my top hand
Potted plants
Ground up at the java stand
My genre is a lost strand
Frosted with a crossbreed
Covered up in sauce
Hint of guava jam
I’m talkin like a bossman
Delivery off-speed
Speakin tongue
Seeing trails and color bands
Lazer beam-like
Lightning strikes
Blinded by the lights
In the night sky
Crystal clean
Slice
Cuttin through time
At the chopping board
With a hot butter knife
Skipping sleep
Eyes open up wide
Catch a rolling tide
Nowhere else to hide
Linking letters to lock
Reaching mach 5
Now drop it in the pot
Let the water rise
Shootin fish in a barrel
Shootin fish in a barrel
Shootin fish in a barrel
Shootin fish in a barrel)
Shootin fish in a barrel
Take flight
Take flight
Take flight
Take flight
Take flight
All of my might
My back to the wall
And if I happen to fall
Attacking
Back in the brawl
No slackin
Tackle the cause
I’m gassin
Passing flock
Alas
I battle the boss
Hello I’m Captain Blastoff
I’m grabbin my tackle box
And hatchet
Saddlin up
And as I straddle the rocks
And drop a line in the pond
I’m making magic
In static
Pull off the table cloth
I spark a fire
The pot
In dark attire
It’s on
It’s kinda funny how they all got a say
When you can do it your own way
Try to place me in a lane
In the open plains I’m stalkin my prey
And they could never lock me away
It’s funny
It’s kinda cunning I don’t follow the trend
Cuz I know all that shit is just a dead end
It’s funny how they spread dread and how they try to get in your head
And drain your brain til your brain is brain-dead
Take flight
Take flight
Take flight
Take flight
All this racket I cause
Will put your ass at a pause
Look up
I shatter the clock
The speakers
Rattle and knock
Puffin the dragon
I cough
I start to fathom the plot
So don’t you hassle the Hoff
Hello I’m Captain Blastoff
Untying my stomach knots
Unraveling antimatter
Uphill l run to the top
Climb up the rungs of a ladder
And set my antenna up
Put on my foil hat and flannel
Generate a signal set to
Spoil the brainwashing channel
It’s kinda funny how they all got a say
When you can do it your own way
Try to place me in a lane
In the open plains stalkin my prey
And they could never lock me away
It’s funny
It’s kinda cunning I don’t follow the trend
Cuz I know all that shit is just a dead end
It’s funny how they spread dread and how they try to get in your head
And drain your brain til your brain is brain-dead
Alligators in the mote
While I’m hangin on your drawbridge
Talladega nights
Chasing after you like an ostridge
Catch a bird of paradise
Watch your pawprints
Need a cleanse I
Sterilized in the water pit
Had to drop back
Hop into the cockpit
Change my flight path up
Aeronautics
Going through the motions
So robotic
Waking up to a phone
It’s all optics
In the silence find calmness
Circling around the piranhas swim
Need to go out and get some oxygen
Know the perfect place honestly if you wanna dip
Everything is OK
When I’m right here with you
Staring at the ocean
We take in the view
Living in the moment
We’re open to the new
Everything is OK
When I’m right here with you
On the interstate
Problems start to dissipate
Cruising across the bridge over the bay
Through the redwoods in the scattered shade
Beat the traffic on a Saturday
Beach awaits
OAK to KOA
Sweet escape
Ocean Spray with the open road
We can relocate
Catch the sun going down
Earth rotates
Don’t you know
Everything is OK
Everything is OK
When I’m right here with you
Staring at the ocean
We take in the view
Living in the moment
We’re open to the new
Everything is OK
When I’m right here with you
No more chaotic times
We’ll leave em behind
Facing forward to the grind
The water purifies
No more chaotic times
We’ll leave em behind
Facing forward to the grind
The water purifies
Fog rolls in
Along with the cold wind
Let’s build this bonfire high
What keeps us going is we stay in the moment
It comes and goes with the tide
Everything is OK
When I’m right here with you
Staring at the ocean
We take in the view
Living in the moment
We’re open to the new
Everything is OK
When I’m right here with you
No more chaotic times
We’ll leave em behind
Facing forward to the grind
The water purifies
No more chaotic times
We’ll leave em behind
Facing forward to the grind
The water purifies
Unstoppable force of waves
Choppin the sea today
On top of the mast I sway
Renegade castaway
Conquering all the land
I put my toes in the sand
I’m on the go traveling
Occupy the space I create
Wakes shake your boat hope you paddle quick
You won’t go sinking my battleship
On my own quest I’m a maverick
You won’t go sinking my battleship
Fill my treasure chest with my own gold
Captain at the wheel the vessel’s indestructable
Sun is rising up and I’m attacking with
Tackling the days on my battleship
Impossible wall to break
Is nothing at all to me
I jump in and splash
Incoming canon ball
It’s easy to navigate
With the right path in place
I’m charting my course
Steering out of the storm and I answer the call
Wakes shake your boat better paddle quick
You won’t go sinking my battleship
On my own quest I’m a maverick
You won’t go sinking my battleship
Fill my treasure chest with my own gold
Captain at the wheel the vessel’s indestructable
Sun is rising up and I’m attacking with
Tackling the days on my battleship
Battleship
Battleship
Wakes shake your boat better paddle quick
You won’t go sinking my battleship
On my own quest I’m a maverick
You won’t go sinking my battleship
Fill my treasure chest with my own gold
Captain at the wheel the vessel’s indestructable
Sun is rising up and I’m attacking with
Tackling the days on my battleship
Battleship
Battleship
The walls are closing in
I don’t know where to begin
It’s like I’m stuck in a maze
I’m out of focus
Searching no door is open
I feel my will start to decay
Feel myself hurried in quicksand
When I take off the kickstand
Can’t release the E brake
Even in Utopia
There’s claustrophobia
It’s just the nature of my brain
Gotta get unstuck
This whole situation is a clusterfuck
Rewire my patience so I don’t self destruct
Throw me under a bus
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
Unstuck
Unstuck
You’re fucked
Don’t try to drag me to you level
Cuz that level’s low (low)
I dug myself out with a shovel
Cut your head off let it roll
Shit is weaker
And that’s not even a metaphor for
Pour some poison on your problems
While I practice self control
Get the fuck out of my way
While I’m achieving all my goals
That boy is fucked up in the head
No he’s just reaching from his soul
Pins in your voodoo doll
But I’ll be that talking skull
Gotta get unstuck
This whole situation is a clusterfuck
Rewire my patience so I don’t self destruct
Throw me under a bus
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
I’m crawlin out unstuck
Unstuck
Unstuck
You’re fucked
I’m breaking free
I’m taking control
Let me do me
As I crawl out of a whole
I came in peace
But I’ll let your head roll
Oh
He’s pounding his chest
From smoking strong
Rolling up the grape ape
Swayin with the palms
His status is upgrading
Like a Pokémon
He’s passing all the stages
He’s Donkey Kong
B A N A N A S
B A N A N A S
B A N A N A S
B A N A N A S
One banana two coconuts
Make way the flood gates open up
I was takin a break and now I’m going nuts
Only choice that I make when I’m waking up is
Sativa or indica?
On a vine swinging in from the brush
I come to crush
That sums it up
And my life is so wondrous
I bang the drum
And it’s thunderous
The lightning flash
Is creeping up
I tuck and roll
Like fuck it all
On a high speed chase
On the run
The paper chasers they
Crumple up
In the freezing cold
All bundled up
Live for the hunt
With more to come
No shortage of
This porridge cup
He’s pounding his chest
From smoking strong
Rolling up the grape ape
Swayin with the palms
His status is upgrading
Like a Pokémon
He’s passing all the stages
He’s Donkey Kong

Hot potato
Tossed up in a tornado
They know
Bazooka unloads
Ape shit
Cue the drumroll
For the shellshocker
Cowabunga mode
Hunker down in a beach bungalow
Get to the chopper in a jungle zone
Stay cool as a cucumber
Cali boy
To the roots like sourdough
Sweeter than pineapple
Maui Gold
Lawn chair next to the lava flow
Feather in my hat with the skull and bones
Alone with a cone I spark
Headbanging like a hammerhead shark
Lookin sharp as a porcupine
Sunglasses polarized
Neck tie no T shirt
Solarized
In a Tommy Bahama short a size
One small step forwards
No one knows
What the future holds
It could be anything
Walk alone in the great unknown
Circle to the center ring
Deep dream
It could mean many things
Late night praying to the sleep queen
Take me to the least busy place
Catchin’ Z’s while I’m on the way
Daylight rising in the East hemisphere
Of my left brain activity
It could be anything
It could be anything
Abstract to the facts
And that’s that
It could mean many things
It’s how you look at it and how you react
It could be anything
Abstract to the facts
And that’s that
It could mean many things
It’s how you look at it
And how you react
A miracle inside and around you
A gift it is the air that you breathe
The future holds it all in a crystal ball
New memories are behind the scenes
One small step forwards
No one knows
What the future holds
It could be anything
Walk alone in the great unknown
Circle to the center ring
Deep dream it could mean many things
Late night praying to the sleep queen
Take me to the least busy place
Catchin’ Z’s while I’m on the way
Daylight rising in the East hemisphere
Of my left brain activity
It could be
Abstract to the facts
And that’s that
It’s how you look at it and how you react
Abstract to the facts
And that’s that
It’s how you look at it
And how you react
A miracle inside and around you
A gift it is the air that you breathe
The future holds it all in a crystal ball
New memories are behind the scenes
What the future holds
What the future holds
What the future holds
What the future holds
What the future holds
At this point it could be anything
What the future holds
What the future holds
What the future holds
What the future holds
What the future holds
At this point it could be anything
Pissin’ into the wind
With a shit eatin grin
And a vision to win
I’m all in
Took a hit on the chin
With a kick and in nads
And a gash on my fist
I’m brawlin
Had my head up my ass
Searching without a map
Got my tread on the track
Now fall in
Off the unbeaten path
I’m back on the attack
The calling
Butt crack of dawn
Awaken the mastodon
Pass the chron
Away on a path I’m on
I mash em all
Bouncin like a basketball
An astronaut
I’m racing against the clock
To grasp it all
Stacking up the building blocks
And to break the mold
Take it to the ceiling top
Inescapable
Animated feeling pops
Undebatable
Thickening scheme and plot
For the beat to drop
All muscle and grit
Put up a castle wall
And built a house of bricks
I’m all in
For the struggle of it
Until the puzzle is done
And all the pieces fit
All hustle and wit
Outlasting the clock
And putting the work in
I built a house of bricks
I’m throwing shit at the wall
Just to see what sticks
I’m so sorry that it’s come to this
Down the rabbit hole through another twist
Let this path unfold and follow it
Just to see what sticks
As I’m lyin awake
Targeting my escape
Carpet flying away
To dreamland
Poppin open the cage
And I’m scaling the gate
Sketchin over the page in
Freehand
Outer body location
Louder modifications
Counterbalancing weights
In quicksand
On the conveyer belt
I smelt it and dealt it
With jazz hands
Hot pasta’s on
Step into the octagon
A Tonka truck
Dumpin chicken parmasean
Rastaman
Papers with the hash inside
Mozza ball nuggets in a
Classic grind
All my octopus tentacles are on control
I doctor up the vessel
Push it off the shore
Helicopter blades
Circulatin water wakes
Over promenades
Waving
Saying Geronimo
And it’s bombs away
All muscle and grit
Put up a castle wall
And built a house of bricks
I’m all in
For the struggle of it
Until the puzzle is done
And all the pieces fit
All hustle and wit
Outlasting the clock
And putting the work in
I built a house of bricks
I’m throwing shit at the wall
Just to see what sticks
I’m so sorry that it’s come to this
Down the rabbit hole through another twist
Let this path unfold and follow it
Just to see what sticks
Catch a break in the wave
Waiting for the right one to come along
It could take a decade
Don’t you know you gotta swim strong
In the water
Undertow tumbled in slaughter
You can undergo a lot of hurt
Oh You’re so close
Yet so far
And still it’s no cigar baby
Don’t croak
Or false start
It’s so cold
Performing open heart surgery
Oh You’re so close
Yet so far
And still it’s no cigar baby
Don’t croak
Or false start
It’s so cold
Performing open heart surgery
Get up time to rise and shine again
Open up your eyes again
Make believe a new place and pretend
Lots of climbing time to spend
To the mountain top
Sawdust in the workshop around the clock
When your heart stops it needs a countershock
You’re so close
Yet so far
And still it’s no cigar baby
Don’t croak
Or false start
It’s so cold
Performing open heart surgery
Oh You’re so close
Yet so far
And still it’s no cigar baby
Don’t croak
Or false start
It’s so cold
Performing open heart surgery
It’s time for rearranging some furniture around
A chair right through the window
A dish onto the ground
Looking for a reason
It’s nowhere to be found
Depression’s in season
And the mayors in town
I blew some plans off all the way
My brain’s on fuckin holiday
Feel lazy but my body aches
Strong case for lobotomy
Catching up on my sleep walking
Daydreams of tomorrow
The moment ain’t worth seizin
Falling into the dark hole
Alarm clock and the bomb drops
I’m swinging a tomahawk
And chopping the timecode
By nightfall the sky falls
I can’t shut my eyes at all
The eye of the cyclone
It’s like I’m not even trying lately
It’s like I’m not even trying at all
It’s like I’m not even trying lately
It’s like I’m not even trying at all
Times are changing though
I’m rolling with the tide
Tracking back to the basics
Making up for lost time
There’s a new layer
Digging deep down inside
Showing up every day
Is better than being buried alive
One foot in the grave
One a banana peel
No plan but
Better than standing still
Didn’t factor in
The intangibles
I adapted back like an animal
Victorious
Just showing up
Lighting up the brightest bunch of flowers
I’m power punching for hours
Still chippin away
Midas touch the time crunch
Don’t matter to my watch
The clock is zippin today
It’s like I’m not even trying lately
It’s like I’m not even trying at all
It’s like I’m not even trying lately (trying lately)
It’s like I’m not even trying at all
It’s like I’m not even trying lately
It’s like I’m not even trying at all
It’s like I’m not even trying lately (trying lately)
It’s like I’m not even trying at all
Earlier releases
The first three CAPT Blastoff releases, collected together: Hibernation, Drop It, and Stethoscope.
Track list
See my breath in the cold
Head knoddin to the metronome
Music is my second home
I can block it out in my zone
I can pave my own golden road
And with each story told
It seems another chapter in me unfolds
All this time and these miles, they’ve taken their toll
And living in suspense is turning my pulse into a drum roll
Flashing in and out like a strobe
Transmitting signals all around the globe
Are we all alone (all alone)
Medieval times 2 we stone people from our smart phones (phones)
Are we all clones (All clones)
Losing touch from reality
Our memories are memory foam
Many questions do I pose (Hmm..)
The metal to my chest is cold (cold)
Heart beat pumping through a stethoscope
Living off a breath of hope
Song carry me along by my headphones
The metal to my chest is cold (cold)
Heart beat pumping through a stethoscope
Living off a breath of hope
Song carry me along by my headphones
My Stethoscope
One Breath of hope o-o-oh
My Stethoscope
One Breath of hope o-o-oh
Skeleton Man Hollow Insides
Need an organ transplant from the keyboard vibes
Before I die be will I find peace at mind
Redefine myself it all starts out with this beat of mine
The key to my design is to open wide
And fill these notes into these black lines
I flatlined on the gurney (gurney)
I woke up in a hurry (hurry)
The shock of defibulators popped me up back onto my journey
(Oohs)
I feel the questions burning me
Stitching up my own wounds with the melody so time to get to surgery
A million things concerning me
Check my core temperature and I crack the glass spilling all the mercury
A real sense of urgency
Can’t relax until I’m tackling my tasks
So I can sing a verse in peace
I found out that it works for me
The metal to my chest is cold
Heart beat pumping through a stethoscope
Living off a breath of hope
Song carry me along by my headphones
The metal to my chest is cold
Heart beat pumping through a stethoscope
Living off a breath of hope
Song carry me along by my headphones
My Stethoscope
One Breath of hope o-o-oh
My Stethoscope
One Breath of hope o-o-oh
I’m living off my very last breath of hope
Headphones plugged in that’s my stethoscope
