The album liner notes:

“The townspeople were astonished to see this massive formation that made no structural sense, but somehow seemed to be alive.

The mesmerizing stranger from the night before stood at the door with a frozen look of A Perfect Balance of All Emotions on his face.

A pattern of turbulent shards of fire, water, and earth took form in the words above the door, and in various languages known and unknown, those words spelled out, “Under It All.”

They were all cordially invited in by the caretaker, who was the stranger from the night before. In a bold display of disrespect, Buddy Graham broke his way through the crowd and curtly inquired, “You’re an odd one… and… Who are you, *#%*?! And what gives you the right to be putting this thing in our town?”

As if the linearity of time dissolved around them, the face of the caretaker appeared in their single eye, and they were floated through the doors into ‘Under It All.’”

Lyrics:

I’m just the paint
You paint the picture
What are you seeing?
What are you feeling?

And all my colors
For your creating
Is your rainbow
Black and blue

Or your heavens,
Cherry Blossoms?

But what do you cover
With your ocean of colors?
Secrets? Regrets?

Who are you
Through and through?

See who you are
Deep in the core
Under the paint
Under It All

Paint me your face
And please be revealing
What are you dreaming?
What are you praying for?

Prayers

Joey Brider: Now I lay me down to sleep and pray the Lord to be with all the people that have nobody. I want my mommy to come back.

Sister Ruby Theresa: Oh, mighty Father who is within, I beg you for your mercy. Please save me from this guilt and pain that has stolen my life.

Maria Hendrix: All I ever wanted was someone to love me. That’s all I ever wanted. All I want is someone to love me.

Guzzo Sockler: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy money. Thy kingdom come…money, Thy will be done… money, on Earth as it is in money. Give us this day our daily money… and forgive us our money, as we forgive those who money against us. And lead us into money.

Eve Patterson: Gllpplupp---hmmsgulpplvgud---ohhhhaabawewglaba--- hmmmmmm, hmmmm- agullgullg, etc.

Pray for fortunes
Pray for love
Or the highest
Radha Soami

Or do you see that all
Is always within us all?

Deeper, look deeper

Or is there just nothing
There at all?

Joey Brider: Hi, my name is Joey Brider, and when I grow up I wanna be a doctor. But what I don’t know is that I’m actually going to discover the cure for loneliness.

Sister Ruby Theresa: I’m Sister Ruby Theresa, and I’ve spent my life caring for the poor and the sick. I’ve saved so many, but accidentally killed my baby brother when I was seven.

Maria Hendrix: I was 12 when I told my parents that my teacher touched me. He lost his job and family and died in prison. Then, when I was 35, I told the truth.

Guzzo Sockler: I have a beautiful wife, three amazing daughters that love me very deeply, but what I would like most in this world is Bill Gates’ money.

Michael Nemus: I never thought that anything I could ever say could hurt someone so deeply.

Sister Ruby Theresa: God gave the gift of artists to the world, so that people can dream while they’re awake.

Joey Brider-: I’m alive and I’m aware!

Maria Hendrix: I’m…only happy when …everyone else is miserable.

Michael Nemus: I’m going to tell you the Truth, even if I have to lie to you.

Guzzo Sockler: I’m dead.

Sister Ruby Theresa: I would suffer another whole lifetime of emptiness and pain just to hear, one time again, the whisper of Your small, still voice.

Guzzo Sockler: Now you listen to me you dirty mutha-fulger. You don’t know me, and now you fulgen did it. Now come here… Bang!!!

President Ausi Oak (Us): It is time we stand up for our human rights and our way of life and destroy our enemy, for they are soulless animals and the corrupters of freedom.

I take an oath to hunt them down and root them out and kill them until they are dead. We will not give up the fight until righteousness prevails, for it is for sure that God is on our side.

Bin Lenny (Them): The time has come that we must protect our souls and the future of our kind by annihilating the infidels; it is our duty to the creator to cleanse the world of such filth.

Let us gloriously offer our lives, for the rewards of heaven await us, for it is sure that God is on our side.

Chorus

See who you are
Deep in the core
Under the paint
Under It All

Straight to the heart
Behind the walls
Under the paint
There’s so much more

Under It All
There’s so much more
Under It All

Pamposh’s final question before drifting into a state of transcendent ecstasy was, “But Master, if everything is an illusion, then why does anything matter?”

To which the master replied, “It may all be an illusion, but it’s a very real illusion.”

Additional Story Info: The people in this town are not unlike many others in any other town. But upon entering Under It All there are various things that happen that compel them to see themselves as what they are. This is a cathartic process that starts out by them expressing who they think they are. Through various processes certain truths about themselves are revealed. This is represented in the talking sections of the song. It’s an insight into various overtones of human nature. Eventually all the paint is stripped away and they are made aware that under it all there’s so much more.
