about

This is NOT a song about drugs...
The need to be alone.....regardless Of Everyone and Everything
"there was this guy" ( I am much better now )

lyrics

The Powder

Sometimes It’s Him , Sometimes Its Her
Sometimes It’s His Overcrowded head
Sometimes It’s The loud loud noise inside
Some times its this inescapable need…

Sometimes It’s His Awkward nature
Sometimes It’s Just Pure Fear
Sometimes I he simply feels compelled
Sometimes It’s The Dark Silence Inside

He disappears
Off On A Powder
Sneak Out A Back Exit
Or use the bathroom ploy
He Just Need some Quiet
He Just Need That Space ….To Think To Dream

If its Rude - He Don’t Care….
If its vain - He Don’t Care…
If its selfish - He Don’t Care….
Swears its absolutely inescapable…a craving Strong As Love, Which We All know is : Required

Sometimes It’s Other’s Constant babble
Sometimes It’s The its His inner battles
Sometimes It’s a Show Of Strength
Sometimes - He seems so fragile

Sometimes It’s a Cry For connection when there is none
Sometimes He Just gets Overwhelmed
Sometimes He’s Ruled by total inhibition
Sometimes – Sometimes it’s the only way

So….. He Takes A Powder
Disappears into the air
Like an Old Houdini Trick
He Just Need The Quiet
He Just Need The Space to lick….. the wounds

If its Rude - He Don’t Care….
If its vain - He Don’t Care…
If its selfish - He Don’t Care….
Claims It can be necessary, fucking impetrative, unavoidable, Required

about

Rollo Ellis Melbourne, Australia

I met my Spirit Guide, Chollis Ellis in 1979 under a chair at University. I heard his voice from time to time over the years –messages and reminders. I saw Chollis again in 1999 in my small bedroom studio. He saif “You are ready now-you are Rollo Ellis.” He never specified “what” I was ready for – but I knew “It” was Spiritual and Creative. The right half of my brain IS literally Rollo Ellis. ... more
