Description
1. Try a Tonic
.
[Welcome!]
.
Hello there – You’re welcome here
We thank you – We wish you well
Enjoy your day – As you know
At A Micron – We find some things
We found some – Some things of note
Noteworthy things – We want them
To make us smile – Hope you do too.

2. Mister Brown
.
[Antagonist 1]
.
We don’t know what it’s like exactly till we come around
And then it’s like a cruise ship that has badly run aground
The decoration on the walls looks like it’s fallen down
And everything that’s happening is thanks to Mister Brown
It was a long long time ago when he first came to town
Back then all the people liked his fancy shoes and gown
He wooed them all by selling his own charm by the pound
And claimed his safe was safe and all in his safe was safe and sound
He got away with his bellsplit far and away too long to count
And by the time we realized everything was out of bound
He took everything we had and more and vanished underground
And left us tied up to a radiator gagged and bound
Mister Brown is coming lock your doors and hide your kids
Mister Brown is selling something keep your money hid
Mister Brown is running out of time and hiding spots
Catch ol’ Mister Brown and lock him up until he rots

3. Trim a Tree
.
[Protagonist 1 – Introduction]
.
Three heads have I –
Sharing one with Sister and one with Brother
We each have two arms and each have two legs
My arms are brother’s legs, my legs are sister’s arms, his arms are her legs
Our arms are six and seven, our legs are four and five, all born without a second –
Trimetry
.
4. Long For this World
.
[Protagonist 1 – Contentment and Longing]
.
We here in trimetry, we live in harmony and love
We’re not alone and we’re strong as one, all as one
We fit together well, we all have our arms and legs and heads
But we’re lacking something, what could it be? We don’t know – feels like two.
Melody flows out of our triangle like energy
Being lonely and being alone are different things
Three golden key are we – three golden key of Ionia
That’s more than just some monkey
We’re not monkey, we’re not one key – we are three
Only though we may not go to the land of Doria
When you’re thinking about all that time you spent bettering
Then you realize that all that time culminates in something
What you seek and what you find aren’t what you sought you found
Take a walk – you’ll feel better, whatever will help you ground.

5. Opposite Attraction
.
[Protagonist 1 is United with Protagonist 2; They Conclude There Must Be Two More]
.
Sitting by the starry bay thinking about the day
In the offing far away it came upon a wave
A world that we have never known, but not unlike our own
Like a mirror turned around, our twos are finally found
With this new inverse trimetry we can better see
What we have and what we need in perfect harmony
In common we have three and three, in all they fill the Whole
Our holes are filled up by their heads, our heads fill up their holes
Speaking of the Whole of Tone, there isn’t ours alone
Maybe out across the sea, other worlds could be
.
6. Lucky
.
[Antagonist 2 – Skirmish]
.
wake up in the morning with a ringaling in your ear
principal is calling you’re late and now it’s your rear
in a rush to get ready, find your keys disappear
trample over some dog poop, find out later it smeared
hurry down to the bus stop, it’s full so crawl underneath
finally you can breathe, oh damn forgot to brush your teeth
try to take it in stride, no matter how bad it gets
hopefully you’ll have more to hang on to than just this
we’re the fortunate notes that got a chance to be heard
make a mighty sound
.
7. Sea’s Harp
.
[Protagonists 1 and 2 – Sensing Danger, with Urgency they Sail Off in Opposite Directions to Find Their Mythical Kin, Protagonists 3 and 4]
.
From opposite corners
Should be another pair
Sail to opposite quarters
We looked in despair
Had lurking danger
Feeling in our cud
Dark strangely shadowed strangers
We seek our own blood
Eureka! We’ve found them!
Our long lost brethren!
The world will now surely win!
When we are all united!
.
8. Den Živých
.
[Protagonists 1, 2, 3, and 4 – Upon Returning to Sijiejvlad, the Four Heroes, the Forces of Good, are Finally United!]
.
First I thought it was just me
Making melody
Simple with complexity
Then I shed my second
And I began to see
And it came to be
That I am one of three
And it stands to reckon
The whole tone’s our tree
And there are two of these
So there are more we’s
And then the voices beckon
From the land far away,
Halfway round the globe
We split up and set sail to find our friends
And now we’ve found them !
Love is what makes the world go round
.
When we lept upon the beach
It was nice indeed
We all could see eye to eye
And each head was leveled
And it was plain to see
And it came to be
That we’re all made of three
And we’re slightly beveled
In our 9 note keys
We all share six a piece
Oh how magical it can be
When the voices beckon
Volume up all the way,
Heard around the world
When we team up and see what we share
Friends – so glad we found you !
Love is what makes the world go round
.
9. Zamyatin’s Time Traveler
.
[Narrator’s Side Note, for Which He is the Recipient of Great Sorrow]
.
I’m not a fiery heretic,
Not here to set the world alight
My philosophy is no better
Than my neighbor who’s doing all right
Let’s say we gather in a great big hall
And vote on what is legal
Cold-blooded murder is on the docket
To be decided by all the people
To keep the crust from forming
To prevent the entropy
A man stands up and declares
The stone-cold killer should roam free!
A million yays and just one opposed
The glares and suspicions blast
The gavel man calmed the court
Can you defend your side? He asked
Yes (it’s rhetorical):
Is calcification not always bad
Like fire is hot and ice is cold?
Do some questions have answers
Is new always better than old?
The open and free and fair debate
can take us ever higher
Though can we agree on at least some things
Or should we just swim in fire?
Ossification brings the death of a star
When it’s used for oppression
But when sealed around the truth
Could it be a firm ground for expression?
.
10. Enough
.
[Narrative Aside on Decadence in a Developed World]
.
When you live life free of fear
Then it matters what you hear
You can spend time listening
Get your debate skills glistening
You can get offended easily
Or speak about people nastily
It’s only when it’s all but gone
We must process moving on
When no sound can touch your soul
Food and bm in the same bowl
We have už been there before
Let’s keep it alive with just the lore
And none of the gore
.
11. Jornado del Muerto – or, Pillage in the Pill Age
.
[Antagonist 3 – Crossing the Line]
.
He wakes up in the morning and goes to work at dawn
walks by a room of people with no clothes on
shrugs and sits and puts his hand upon a giant switch
the building smelled like bacon as he ate his vegan sandwich
We try to do right
While some like to lie and fight
Who grinds through the night?
Is it mind or might?
Gregory is crumpled in among the naked crowd
The guy who’s next to him begins yelling really loud
He’s the one who took whatever food the others got
They let him out and gave him his own room and pet robot
Sometimes being bad wins
Survival of the slickest
Volatile antiparticles
Bound for annihilation
.
12. Symmator
.
[Protagonists Prepare for Battle]
.
Boj! Bojuj! Bojuje! Bojujeme!
Jsme povoláni,
každý tón ostrý jako šíp
my stojíme, sjednocený
.
13. Conflict
.
[The Great Battle]
.
14. Tensegrity
.
[The aftermath of the battle for good and evil is commemorated in a whimsy ode]
.
Good and bad still exist as if nothing happened.
Good guy wins only when life is peaceful enough
To be able to make art and music
And so cherishes it when he can
(close w/ happiness)
.
15. Symmetri-Key and
16. Symme-Trickle
