If I was inspired you could see a tiger in me You could be an owl you could be a dragon living inside the sea When the night is cold then you can rely on me Step into the glass step into the water Guess you can relax I’m not made of china you’ll see Having what it takes taking all the breaks off fully describing me I have to have it Life living it living it living it and swimming in it Life living it living it living it and swimming in it Life for all the joy and pain it brings and we are living in it and swimming in it Falling through a dream landing with your feet in so deep Dancing in the rain tearing all the streets up using only your teeth I have to have it Life living it living it living it and swimming in it Life living it living it living it and swimming in it Life for all the joy and pain it brings and we are living in it and swimming in it I want to live life now I want to live life now Live life now I want to live life now I want to live life now Live life now

Better be watchful or better Better be ready to ride If it’s too late to be better Putting all betting aside Better better Be better Be better Too late is usually never Never has got to be dead Too late for what we aren’t saying Late for what never was said I can’t believe how we so deceive ourselves Be better better Be better Be better Be better Better Better Be better I could pick a star up high to wish upon I could feel the warm sun shine upon my face I could find a horse up high to get upon I could close my eyes and leave behind this place It is in your mind it is in your eye What you look upon you will realize Better better be better Be better be better Better Better Be better

Rock ‘n’ Roll Achieved Copyright 2022 H. Csiga Well I asked Johnny and he said so And I asked Willie and he agreed And I asked Maggie and she just smiled Cause she just knows it in her mind And as for me I’ve been hypnotized And I believe I believe It’s rock and roll achieved Yes it is It’s a win for rock Well we asked Raymond to take the keys Because he can hear it and he believes Now you can’t shake it this thing you need It’s a magical feeling it’s our history And what will be is not up to me But I believe I believe It’s rock I’ve got rock and roll roll in my soul I’ve got rock and roll roll in my soul I’ve got rock and roll roll in my soul I’ve got rock and roll roll in my soul

about

To be absolutely blunt, life is uncertain.

Assuming that it is not is a waste of the moments we have. The strength we derive from the little things can keep us present long enough to breathe life into the things that matter. May love win the day.

This album was brought to life during the Flower Moon Recording Sessions of 2023. Our greatest friend and supporter, producer Raymond P. Bollen, whom we immortalized in the final track along with a couple of names from Dark Shadows. We'd also like to thank our family for their support in creating this album. Special thanks to our daughter Misha for her help with photography. Additional thanks goes to our Seattle music community and our underground radio supporter John Ballistic for the airplay and band support he has given Age of Fiction. We may be playing on the deck of the Titanic but at least we are doing what we love, together. Resist compliance with the new world order. May the artists retake the music business and bring about a time of art such that none can resist its authenticity

You’re Killing Me Fresno
by Brian Kenney Fresno

Life changes if you see a performer who is doing everything at once and rocking it this fucking hard. There is a rareness to finding these people but once you do find them, there is no going back. Age of Fiction
