Lyrics: It begins with a whisper of madness All things conceived and following Forming consciousness evades lips To speak is heresy divine Of intimacy never fathomed Of beauty never explored All things irrational and contorted Become one in a broken eye Perception skewed to insanity Never a prying mind Opened a box pandoral Bent into shapes confined Limitless expansion evermore The downward spiral begins Circling in the abdomen Circling in the heights Breathe higher, faster, impossible Connections become the sky Connections become unreachable A signifying puppet warcry Timely example of execution Sorted into fragments Pieces of a missing memory Shifted into hyperspace Bring the pain the hate confusion Of a mind imprisoned willfuly Of a star-crossed therapeutic mis-match Of spewing verbal inanity

Lyrics: Every day I wake up and I have to deal with psychosis Straight, strung, hungover or whatever I just don't feel right I reach over clumsily and turn on the bedside light Seeing things reaching over me In the slowly fading night Every day I wake up I wish I was dead So I go back to sleep and rest my head Until my duties I have to face, Of every day life in this fucking rat race Impose on me your every will I can never seem to just sit still I long for a place where I can chill But sunbeams scorch the windowsill And sunbeams scorch the windowsill Sunbeams on the windowsill So banish night, encompass me I try to walk so steadily While shit pours down on top of me I wish I wish I wish I was free I wish I wish I was free I wish I wish I wish I was free But sunbeams scorch the windowsill Every day I wake up and I have to deal with psychosis Psychosis Psychosis I wish I was free.

Lyrics: The moon was so bright when I looked at the sky I wondered why anyone would want to die Leaves become brown and turned into dust The rose quivered scarlet and triggered my lust The moon ate a mushroom and all was surreal I hope above hope that all this is real I hope above hope that all this is real I hope above hope that all this is real All this is real All this is real All this is real All this is real All this is real (I hope) I hope above hope I hope above hope that all this is real (All this is real)

Lyrics: Everybody get up and fuckenndance ... And we build it up slowly Like a rhythm machine Move the beat to your body Yea you know what I mean Cos this is MDMA Pulsing through the machine Rising up like a spiral In an incredible dream Cos this is MDMA Yea you know what I mean This is MDMA And we build it up slowly This is MDMA In an incredible dream This is MDMA This is MDMA This is MDMA Pulsing through the machine This is MDMA Yea you know what I mean MDMA MDMA MDMA MDMA MD MD MD MD MD MD MD MD MD MD MD This is MDMA

Lyrics: I'm feeling better now But I want to taste it bad I want to feel the fire Erode me, take me take me higher 'Cos I want to have it all But I'm feeling better, better now Without the taste of angel's tears Oh god I've drowned so many years I want to have to taste it all But my body's broken, bruised and in pain I need to hold to have it all My fucked up mind my drugged up brain And I want to have it all But I'm feeling better without No scythe to cut me free from fear Oh god I've downed so many beers I want to taste to have it all But my body's broken, rent apart I need to hold it in my heart I need to hold it in my heart And I'm feeling better now Better now

about

Released in late 2007, “Psychosis” is a hectic 12-track piece of electronica mayhem, delving into the furthest corners of a troubled mind. Straight from the get-go the album starts to deal with complicated issues, smoothly masked by a fun, pumping sense of energy and entertainment. The opener "Hard Drug Abuse" not only kicks off the album but introduces one of the main themes: drugs and their affect on the human psyche.

There is a lot of stigma about mental illness, most people don’t even know what psychosis is, let alone understand it. The album explores various facets of the disease as experienced by the artist, ranging from moments of complete depression (such as the lyric “Every day I wake up I wish I was dead.” from "Psychosis (Episode Two)") to spontaneous, warped humour ("Doctor Seuss Or A Sheep?"), and the questioning of reality ("All This Is Real (I Hope)"), yet still maintaining a look at the positive side of things ("Everybody Get Up And Fuckenndance (Cos This Is MDMA)!").

The brain is an organ like any other part of the body, and can be broken as easily as you can break your arm, most commonly by overindulgence in mind-altering substances. The difference is that no one can see a broken brain, and it’s not as easy to announce “my brain is injured” as “my arm is injured”. This album is an exploration and expression of the mental disease that is psychosis, and is a true journey from start to finish.

Everyone’s own reality is based upon perception, which is the result, amongst other things, of a series of connections in the brain. If those connections are misplaced, crossed or tangled, perception changes and thus the individual reality changes.

The Peach Tree’s attempt to express this is not only deep and meditative but energetic, frenetic, fun and pounding.
