Manifestation
The Story
Manifestation is the sound of a band calling its future into being.
Recorded during the creative upheaval when RTZ was dissolving and a new identity was trying to break through, this album became more than a set of songs… it became the moment SixFootStilts was born.
The turning point happened almost accidentally.
As the title track Manifestation took shape, something clicked. The band wasn’t just writing music they were writing a new story for themselves. The artwork, with its open‐handed silhouette and rising light, became a visual reminder of what they were doing without even realizing it: creating intention, naming a future, stepping into it.
During the wild name-change experiment of late 2022, each band member submitted ten possible identities. Dozens of names surfaced and fell away. Pages of notes, debates, unexpected laughter, and a hundred “almosts” later… one name revealed itself, almost as if summoned by the album already taking form.
SixFootStilts.
You can hear that emergence inside the record.
Go With the Flow and Clarity lean into surrender and insight.
Peter Pan and No Sleep spark restless imagination.
Remember Me and Friends trace the emotional glue holding the band together.
And by the time you reach Manifestation, The End, and Epilogue, the RTZ era is gone, replaced by something more intentional, more ambitious, more uniquely them.
This wasn’t meant to be the first themed album but it became the origin of the idea.
Through making Manifestation, the band discovered the blueprint that now defines their creative life: albums with themes, worlds, arcs, and purpose.
Manifestation is the hinge between two musical lives. A transition. A declaration. A spark that turned into a name, and a name that turned into a direction. It didn’t just capture a moment of change, it created it…
Go With the Flow
If you believe the illusion is real go with the flow if that’s how you feel
Sometimes the truth can get old anybody can be bought yeah
Bought and sold bought and sold
Sick and tired of all the show and tell won’t be long before the masses rebel
Sometimes reality imitates art gotta go with the flow yeah
Go with your heart go with your heart
You sold your soul now let the good times roll
Lets see what tomorrow will bring who pulls the strings
When the fat lady sings yeah yeah yeah
Misdirection is running the show the lunatic fringe loves the way that it flows
We are all on information overload the clock is tick tick ticking yeah
Ready to explode ready to explode
You sold your soul now let the good times roll
Lets see what tomorrow will bring who pulls the strings
When the fat lady sings yeah yeah yeah
Go with the flow of your manifestation
Go with the flow of your manifestation
You sold your soul now let the good times roll
Lets see what tomorrow will bring who pulls the strings
When the fat lady sings yeah yeah yeah
Clarity
You got me on my back foot teetering upon a ledge
When I get that look I can feel your edge
You’ve got me confounded got me more than confused
When I get that look I know your not amused
I need some clarity give me some clarity
I need some clarity give me some clarity gimme some clarity
You got me on the defence eating right out of your hand
Every path I take just another failed plan
Now I’m left to ponder over whelmed with doubt
Cause there is no book to help me out
I need some clarity just a little clarity
I need some clarity just a little clarity a little clarity
I don’t wanna stand out in the rain I need some clarity
Gotta find a way to slip your ball and chain just a little clarity
Give me some clarity give me some clarity
Peter Pan
Back in the day the King of Pop ruled the magic man had us fooled
So where did Lady Liberty go she disappeared with GI Joe
Got no helmets we got Novocain playing in the Purple Rain
No piercings or gaudy tattoos Spicoli was the gnarliest dude
I want to go back with Peter Pan to Never Neverland
A Playboy Bunny with a heart of glass Madonna was shaking her ass
Elvis and his aim was true Huey Lewis making the news
Indiana good old Dr. Jones the kids are sending E.T home
He wants to go back with Peter Pan to Never Neverland
Double Fantasy on MTV a reunion that will never be
Disco died was a Trivial Pursuit in pants that looked like parachutes
The Rubik’s Cube and the Valley Girls feathered hair and big big curls
Tubbs and Crockett Miss Pacman they ran away with Peter Pan
I want to go back with Peter Pan to Never Neverland
I want to go back with Peter Pan to Never Neverland
No Sleep
Through a wall where a dreams leaks I lay alone
In my nest
In my room I lay alone
But there is no rest
Some guy talking on his telephone
Across the street
Driving me mad because I cannot sleep
There is no sleep
It’s 3 o’clock in the morning, I’m wide awake
In my nest
I my room I lay alone
But there is no rest
Sound of cars racing across the street
Driving me mad because I cannot sleep
There is no sleep
There is no sleep
There is no sleep
There is no sleep
There is no sleep
Remember Me
Remember me with smiles not tears
For all the joy through all the years
Recall the closeness that was ours
A love sweet as fragrant flowers
No more thoughts that cause you pain
We’ll be together once again
I am at peace, try to believe
It was my time to leave
I hear you when you’re laughing and watch you as you sleep
I place my arms around you and calm you as you weep
What a view I have from here
I see your face, I feel you near
Follow you throughout the day
A lot of love along the way
When God calls you will be
Right by my side, right here with me
‘Till then I’ll wait by heaven’s door
We’ll be reunited for evermore
I hear you when you’re laughing and watch you as you sleep
I place my arms around you and calm you as you weep
Hold On Tight
Hold, hold on tight
To your dreams
Let them take flight
Cause when dreams come
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
Hold, hold on tight
To your love
Let it take flight
Cause when love dies
Life is a barren field
Frozen with ice
The Jig Is Up
Not so long ago you were the prettiest thing
Some where long the line became a frumpy old maid
Now I ache and yearn yah for the good old days
Had I known my fate I would have run far away
I ain’t digging you no more the jig is up
Ain’t digging you like I dug ya yah dug ya before
All the bliss is gone as is the warm embrace
The only thing you left are the lines my face
When I am with you it’s a suffocating place
A bad recurring dream one that you just can’t erase
I ain’t digging you no more the jig is up
Ain’t digging you like I dug ya yah dug ya before
I ain’t digging you no more the jig is up
Ain’t digging you like I dug ya yah dug ya before
Another World
If you believe
We exist only one dimension
Disappear
Or return with better intentions
Get another chance
Have a hand in a new creation
Right the wrongs
From a previous incarnation
We have all
Been here many times before
Memories are strong
Every thought, every emotion
Playing out
Like before, perfectly spoken
We have all
Been here many times before
Close your eyes
Let them guide your imagination
You will find
Another world without limitation
We have all
Been here many times before
In another world
In another world
In another world
Friends
Not the words you want to hear they stopped me like a clock
When she whispered in my ear sit down we have to talk
Your a nice guy you can be sweet you have a kind soul
But I’ve met another who is kinder so I’m hitting the road
I need in my life but only as a friend
It’s not you it’s me I’ll always love you only as a friend
That’s the way that it be I’ll always love like that til the end
Gave you security I put you on solid ground
If I wasn’t your cup of tea why did you bother to stay around
Didn’t have an option til my new fella he came along
Don’t want to hurt ya I’ll always love ya but it’s time to move on
I need you in life but only as a friend
It’s not you it’s me I’ll always love you only as a friend
That’s the way that it be I’ll always love like that til the end
It’s not you it’s me I’ll always love you only as a friend
That’s the way that it be I’ll always love like that til the end
Many years have passed now it’s you not me that’s all alone
Price of a decision so rash you reap what you sow
It’s not you it’s me I’ll always love you only as a friend
That’s the way that it be I’ll always love like that til the end
I Feel High
Where do I begin my heart is racing again
You have this viral affect taking over making me a wreck
I’m as high as a kite soaring through the air
Soaring through the air without any care
Your inside my head yah that is what I said
Invading my mind but I feel good I yah I feel fine
I’m as high as a kite flying through the air
Flying through the air without any care
Feeling high soaring through the air
Your coursing through my veins infection gone to my brain
If sanity’s a state of mind then I’m walking on the border line
I’m as high as a kite I’m floating on air yah floating on air without any care
I’m as high as a kite soaring through the air
Soaring through the air without any care
Feeling high soaring through the air
Talkin' About
Got no idea what your doing to me I’m twisted up yah seriously
The way you walk makes me weak in the knees like I got some kind of disease
Ain’t no cure for whats ailing me you got me begging begging ya please
Like a dog that’s licking his bone can’t get enough I need more and more
You make me wanna scream and shout oh that’s what I’m talkin’ about
Went to Dr. Sawbones to find me a cure I’ll do anything to tame this allure
It dominates my waking days all my fragility is on display
Soon as I see that look in your eye all bets are off they quickly die
I’m just a puppet your in control can’t get enough I need more and more
You make me wanna scream and shout that’s what I’m that’s what I’m
That’s what I’m talkin’ about
That’s what he’s talkin’ about that’s what he’s talkin’ about
That’s what he’s talkin’ about
You make me wanna scream and shout that’s what I’m that’s what I’m
That’s what I’m talkin’ about
I can feel the temperature rise it really shouldn’t come as any surprise
There’s no end to her wild desires she’s hotter than a hellish fire
Lord hear me reach out your hand she’s taking me to the promised land
Your a man eating carnivore can’t get enough I need more and more
You make me wanna scream and shout that’s what I’m that’s what I’m
That’s what I’m talkin’ about
Manifestation
Have you ever lied awake getting No Sleep
Do you Remember Me dare to take that leap
Have you ever dreamt a dream that came true
Have you longed for Clarity from out of the blue
Hold on tight Manifestations at hand reach out and touch it Hold On to The End
I Feel High when it’s real so you can my Friends
So Go With The Flow and you’ll be fine
That’s the way it’s been done from the beginning of time
All great things come from even greater desire
It’s never Too Late to try to stoke that fire yah
I wanna be your Manifestation….
Peter Pan forever desired to stay a pup
That’s not the way it’s been done The Jig is Up
Sooner or later the man in the moon
He’ll spread rumours start Talkin’ About you yah
Yah yah yah yah…
I’m Talkin’ About you yah
The End
Feel it my bones the end is near
Darkness closing in can I persevere?
I have to let go but I want to hang on
Take a deep breath before too long
The waning sun sets the pages turn
The story changes, lessons learned
The road is long, winding and torn
Holding me back, facing the storm
This is the end, it’s time to move on
Can’t let go, I keep holding on
Strength is there to make a new start
I’ll be there
Feel it in the air, the weight of the change
Gotta let go from feeling low
Feeling lost, found today
It’s not unkind in the usual way
This is the end and the end is near
I won’t give up but face the fear
Find my strength, find my way
It’s the beginning, a brand new day
This is the end, it’s time to move on
Can’t let go, I keep holding on
Strength is there to make a new start
I’ll be there
The end, a beginning
The end, a beginning
This is the end, it’s time to move on
Can’t let go, I keep holding on
Strength is there to make a new start
I’ll be there
The end, a beginning
The end, a beginning
Leave the past, embrace the change
The only way to find a new way
The end, a beginning
The end, a beginning
This is not the end
This is not even the beginning
But perhaps this is the beginning
Of the end
