What -TRUE LOVE- Is by Mark Passio
If your version of love means some soft ego centered bullshit that can be pushed and shoved around and destroyed because you'll sit by and watch it happen, it doesn't mean anything and it sure as shit doesn't hold any value. Love is standing in truth regardless of personal sacrifice, how it will be perceived, or what outside force pressures you to try and surrender it to them, social, physical or otherwise, Because TRUTH and LOVE in their proper definitions are bigger than YOU or ANYONE else that would tell you to surrender them because it makes them uncomfortable, whether that be government, family, or friends. GET OVER IT.

Stay Tuned...
Thelonius is in the middle of moving but we'll be back to full steam ahead in the not too distant future, I've been getting us more tools and learning some new skills to bump our production up to the next level. I've been uploading other content as of late but some more music and comedy stuff will be coming out soon. Hope you're all doing well out there considering the clown show that is our world, take care, talk soon.

Qlowns - Mark Passio
Pull your head out of your ass, there is no magic savior coming to save you from yourself. Either have the strength of will to change yourself and speak out and change the world or get out of the way and help the people that will. All these savior beliefs regardless of background come from the same place "oh good, I won't have to do anything." WRONG asshole, in case you haven't noticed the world isn't getting more free because you complied, because you sat back waiting for a day of magic enlightenment, or magic arrests.
You get to where you SAY you want to go by taking ACTION. Stop giving into fear, stop worrying about what other people are going to think and shape what YOU are doing. That's how this world changes for the better, regardless of what you believe, nothing gets better by standing by and being a COWARD. None of the people that have ever changed this world regardless of how big or small did it standing by and being a punk ass bitch, we're running out of time and I'm not gonna be nice about it anymore, if the truth bothers you, then instead of plugging your ears, DO something about it.
Stop being paralyzed by fear, it's not hopeless, the truth is most people haven't even tried yet, that's why things are so bad, not that it won't count or won't matter.

Ultimatum - Lip Service To Good Vs A Good Person - Mark Passio
What separates someone claiming to be a good person vs someone who actually is a good person. If the truth makes you uncomfortable and stops you from pursuing it, you're just paying lip service to an idea you have no intention of actually bringing into the world, in other words, it means nothing, you just want to be perceived as good for selfish reasons instead of actually trying to be a good person.

----------Lyrics----------
Thelonius:
The teardrops cascading across the sky
The memories of old wounds refusing to dry
We're lost in this nightmare fantasy
And trying to find a place where we can
becoming the light in the darkest of seas
And shining amidst all this strife and disease
The shelter that shields from the unbroken rain
That's forged through all the scarring and the pain.
Ryan:
Is this heaven
I close my eyes
And let this song
Carry me
Away
Far away.
Far away.
Thelonius:
The teardrops cascading across the sky
The memories of old wounds refusing to dry
We're lost in this nightmare fantasy
And trying to find a place where we can
becoming the light in the darkest of seas
And shining amidst all this strife and disease
The shelter that shields from the unbroken rain
That's forged through all the scarring and the pain
Ryan:
Tears are falling
Down...
In The Rain
Tears are falling
Down...
Waves of emotion
Pouring out of me
Swept away
Love is lost
In the rain...
Tears are falling
Now...
Thelonius:
The teardrops cascading across the sky
The memories of old wounds refusing to dry
We're lost in this nightmare fantasy
And trying to find a place where we can
becoming the light in the darkest of seas
And shining amidst all this strife and disease
The shelter that shields from the unbroken rain
That's forged through all the scarring and the pain
The teardrops cascading across the sky
The memories of old wounds refusing to dry
We're lost in this nightmare fantasy
And trying to find a place where we can
Both:
Becoming the light in the darkest of seas (Tears are falling)
And shining amidst all this strife and disease (Tears are Falling)
The shelter that shields from the unbroken rain (Tears are falling)
That's forged through all the scarring and the pain (Tears are falling down)

The End Of All Evil by Jeremy Locke
Evil enslaves. Evil is found in words such as force, compulsion, tax, violence, theft, censure, and politics. Notice that in such things, there is no joy. None have any value to humanity.
This book defines the doctrine of liberty, and teaches you why choices that affect your life can only rightfully be made by you.
Uploader's note:
This audio book has been posted before but the audio was in mono, so I've uploaded it with stereo and remastered artwork. For best listening experience in the settings wheel set it to 4K if your computer and bandwidth can handle it.

Ryan:
Who
Tends
To this garden of decay
Mysterious stranger
Death is my name
Ripping away (Ripping away)
And carries the pain
Thelonius:
Don't pass me by
Just stay awhile
I want to try to be all I can
The feeling I've found
Can never be lost
Just stay with me until I wake again.
Ryan:
Once more
This cycle goes 'round
All becomes clear
When you're no longer in fear
Learn what matters most
As it's fading away..
Thelonius:
Lost in the shroud
Concealed in a dream
Your voice reaches out to silence the screams
I search through the night hoping to find
The life that I once called mine
Ryan:
I spent
All my love
Sowing seeds
So that they can grow
So that they can grow
Thelonius:
Don't pass me by
Just stay awhile
I want to try to be all I can
The feeling I've found
Can never be lost
Just stay with me until I wake again.
Both:
Lost in the shroud
Concealed in a dream (Sweet Stranger)
Your voice reaches out to silence the screams
I search through the night hoping to find (Sweet Stranger)
The life that I once called mine
Don't pass me by (Sweet Stranger)
Just stay awhile
I want to try to be all I can (My sweet stranger)
The feeling I've found
Can never be lost
Just stay with me until I wake again. (My sweet stranger)

----------Lyrics----------
This darkness, I'm Atlas...This is my stone.
They call me...
The king-- of sorrow..
This crown-- Of thorns...
Haunts tomorrow
Forever...
Waiting in limbo
Losing everything
I know
Falling down, I cannot escape
The pressure builds
And suffocates all my feelings of joy
Evaporate into stagnant air
That clings to my face
I want to be free from all that this world
Has wrought on me
And bathe in the light of the memories
But now they seem so empty
But I can rekindle the flame
And change
The faults can be rearranged into something new
Into something true, there's no going back to the old point of view
So familiar, yet so unknown
I claw and carve a hole
Using everything I know
To let light into where I should go
This darkness, I'm Atlas, And this is my stone.
I bleed in ways that you can't see
And every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
Every day...
I bleed in ways that you can't see...
And every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
And every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
Every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
I don't mean to sound defeated
'Cause even though it wears on me
And shadows swallow me alive
I come back stronger
Every time
And that's one more time
That I can find
The things that remind
When I think I'm past
The "finished" line
My purpose renewed
In the spirit of you
The spirit of you,
The spirit of you...

New Days Are Better Days (2020 8K Remaster) By Self Sufficient
Originally released April 22nd 2017
Lyrics:
Ahh....Ahhh Ahhh...
Ahh....Ahhh Ahhh...
I was so young
Life was innocent and fun
Breaking through all the misery
Like a loaded gun
If they ever bring you down
Just remember
Birds with broken wings can still sing.

Your Selfless Smile (2020 8K Remaster) by Self Sufficient
Originally released July 11th 2016
Withheld inside your gaze
The secrets I desire
The never ending maze
Hidden from the world
Floating to the surface
My one true self
Intertwined...
Intertwined.....(Intertwined)
All these intonations
Reflecting from your inner eye
Taking root within my mind...
Intertwined.....
Seeds from the past
Are blossoming
Guest of my world
Accept these gifts I bring
For it takes a toll
On my everything
Seeds from the past
Are blossoming
Guest of my world
Accept these gifts I bring
For it takes a toll
On my everything
Seeds from the past
Are blossoming
Guest of my world
Accept these gifts I bring
For it takes a toll
On my everything
Travelling through this space
These feelings long unknown
Rejuvenating praise
That light shines through the end
Joy in the simple things
Will last you quite awhile
With your selfless smile
With your selfless smile
Your selfless smile
Joy in the simple things
Will last you quite awhile
With your selfless smile
Your selfless smile
Your selfless smile
Your selfless smile
Your selfless smi-iiile
Selfless smile....

Lost at Sea (2020 8K Remaster) by Self Sufficient
Originally released on May 1st 2016
I'm lost at sea
I may sink
Into emptiness
So hold me
In your arms
And never
Let me go
The one and only
My companion
In the depths
Of misery
This is how
Things must be
Ahhhh
Ahhhhhhhhh
Teach me...
How to love
Teach me...
How to care
I promise...
I'll make it worth your while
Whisper
(Your hopes and dreams)
And fleeting... (memories)
They echo
(For all eternity...)
These emotions
(Breed insanity)
You're the ghost....
(Of my reality)
I'm...lost at sea.
This emptiness...
I can't define......
But I can live...
Without regret
If you'll be mine......
So hold me
(In...your arms)
And (never let me go)
I'm lost at sea (lost at sea)
This bitterness (this bitterness)
I can't define...... (Can't define)
But I can live... (But I can live)
Without regret
If you'll be mine...... (If you'll be mine...)
If...you'll...be......mine!
Lost at sea (lost at sea)
This loneliness
I can't define (can't define)
If I could live (if I could live)
Without regret
You'd be by my side.....

Cold & Alone (2020 8K Remaster) by Self Sufficient
Originally released on February 26th 2016
Lyrics / More info:
Cold and alone
I'm sitting on the edge of the world...
Dead, is how I feel inside...
These memories are haunting our time.
Everyone thinks
But is yet to know
Contemplating our...
Lost souls...
Rotting, in a deep dark hole
Will they find their way back home?
Cold And Alone...
Cold And Alone...
Cold And...Alone.....
Cold...And...Alone...(Alone)
Darkness...It follows me with time...
Madness...It follows us with time...
And the softest tears
Weigh you down with time...
