Lyric discussion by Trism 

Cover art for ZTO lyrics by Devin Townsend

In an interview he said that he wrote the album after giving up drugs and drink and the like and replacing it all with coffee. He said that when the album came out he was amazed that people kept refering to it as a funny album as he thought it was dark as hell. I agree; when I first heard the album I hated it because I felt like I was intruding on his massive withdrawal, it never occurred to me that the bits that sounded funny where actually supposed to be funny.
