Escape Plan 02:53
The taste of lead Plays a sour note on the roof Of the mouth. Shift, spit it out. Careful not to cause a sound, Stillness pulls the key Towards an opened palm. Shift, click, you're out. Legs doubled over like wet match sticks, Chain link tourniquets Release just the same. Across shark infested waters, Empowered by momentum, Freed limbs impede there will on the Last latch. Catch your breath As smoke irrupts and Settles. In the nettles of A crowds cactus vision, You emerge Unscathed. Bow and Wave. You're out. Bow and Wave. You're out.

If grass is always greener on the other side tell me which side am I on free my consciousness of what is right free my consciousness of wrong and i've been tempted by the apple tree over taken by its song a melody for sake of melody feasting 'pon the flesh and bone Right is wrong is right is wrong there's no reason to be cheating either end of some there's enough to go around to share the wealth of song right is wrong is right is wrong now lines were set in place for crossing bridges built to overturn and notions set to pledge devotion leave us little room to learn oh i've been tempted by the apple tree overtaken by its song a melody for sake of melody feasting pon the flesh and bone right is wrong is right is wrong there's no reason to be cheating either end of some there's enough to go around to share in the wealth of song right is wrong is..

Three Views 03:41
They tell me how it grows and of the things it knows and of the wind which blows the dust in spiralled cones its shape is uniform delicate, tendriled form and mends a soul that's torn revamped and thus reborn and thats one way of looking into the other end of the spectrum we can look at to seek and dissect love It aims to desecrate you elivate then deflate you and leave you in the state to push what you couldn't pull through the lies are luminary you lose the will to carry the burden you can't bury reshelved and left to worry and thats one way of looking into the other end of the spectrum we can look at to seek and dissect love but worst of all in lacking the passion or the pain which should make the life worth living the balance act that's giving you reason to seek changes or rearrange the stages without the realization your love is lost and vacant and thats one way of looking into the other end of the spectrum we can look at to seek and dissect love

Liaison 03:15
Oh you could hand me a dollar you could hand me a dime but i assure you honey no amount of money could change my mind cause it's clear i've got a game plan cause its clear that i've got goals now please go home and i've made contacts with the locals i've made contacts with police and if there's word of you in town i swear you'll see no sign of me cause i've got a house of polished steel with no windows, hung from eves and only I know how to enter because i've got the only key and if this seems a little drastic and you're questioning my state well i assure you honey, if you had my money you'd shy away from fate sure it's easy just to flaunt it live your life out on display but i've got wordiness, distinction and a social life at stake so if you wouldn't mind retiring I suppose it's just as welll you can sleep out on the sofa if you're hungry, help yourself and by the dawn i'll hail a taxi hell, i'll even pay the fare just remember nothing happened there was no liaison here.

Love, Love, Love When I arrive at pearly gates and in the light, I sit and wait pon what three things should I be Judged? Love, Love, Love

Theres a home, with a light, that stays lit every night, just in case something needs to be litten. Through the thick window casing, the shine of a bulb, sends a pale yellow ember, refracted and hollow, toward the red glow, of the moon. ..and as cold air it shuffles, through piles of papers, to find the receipt for a broken down furnace, that seemed to go awol sometime mid december, and won't get replaced until spring receives tenure, you call it a draft, close the window, move on with your day. Theres a home, with a light, that stays lit every night, just in case something needs to be litten. Toward the red glow, of the moon, theres a magic, thats spoken of only in motion. As heavenly bodies, submit to the whim, that they only paint skylines, beneath the great darkness, and weep from the notion, as likeminded fools. Theres a home, with a light, that stays lit every night, just in case something needs to be litten. Through the thick window casing, the shine of a bulb, sends a pale yellow ember, refracted and hollow, toward the red glow, of the moon.

Fell 03:10
Oh I fell from a Height Higher than the tallest tree further than the sun or moon And oh I fell into the earth left my imprint in the dirt an impression of my smirk was all that stayed behind How I fell for you. You. And so I gave up on amends packed my things and left again dragged my feet upon the ground but oh i'd be damned that I should find that my grin had stayed behind even grass had learned to grow around, not inside How I fell for you. You. And though time has surely passed and the fallings faded fast i'd be foolish not to say That if you should take a peek just inside yourself you'd see the impression of a time thats since eluded me How I Fell for you You.

I'll die once for you bathe my palms in ore wear a thorny crown upon the cross you bore oh i get so tired of Trying Walk upon the sea born a bastard son body made of bread wine becomes my blood oh i get so tired of trying

dropped to my shoulder like a ball of lead heavy on the corner of my body shit can't help but hit the fan from time to time it's said but I've got no vested int-rest in blowing I guess it could have been across the head instead hallelujah, amen Played out the scenario in softly spoken flow a murmur made to gesture at the will good men impose But fuck it if that "will" should leave me unfulfilled is there no common ground between the action and the sound or am i just missing the point? missing the point? missing the point? missing the point?

Its hard bein empty when you're so full of hate its hard servin love when theres none on your plate its hard kissin up to the lord when you've got no lips and you're not about good and ready to cash in you chips you gotta hold on to me its hard being sober when theres so much to drink its hard to get close to your preist when hes seeing a shrink to honor thy father and mother though they both ran off on one another and you walked away with his eyes and her perfect smile you gotta hold on to me.

Washed to shore by the good graces of your melody and i could not be more enveloped by the song my million dollar baby has me thinking wrong Waiting for the next train out of here to come though i could be mistaken by this charlatans song and i've stayed too long my million dollar baby has me leaving home

Pailer than aprils loathsome grimace with wrought iron finish i'll forever retire to frost heave and desire which now burns the knuckles of my fists so its green gold and azure or dead dulled and grey, what heartless bastard ever assumed i would happily live this way? Life should be spent, chalk full of frolic and whimsy and yet, i sleep without rest tossed aside by the fate of a spiraling misguided capsizing ship filled with useless expressions to vent my contempt at a state that was meant for some other poor sucker of obvious omnious angst and regret so give me one evening alone with the wretch and i'll do the rest wring his thin little neck and i'll sleep in the shade on the warmth of the day tickling the backs of the daisy at play so its green gold and azure or dead dull and grey what hearltess bastard ever assumed this burlesque was an even trade?

Bury me so shallowly my bones will pile and cave so little birds with chirping words might build there homes within I was once of stone, in love with the world I'll return to home if it happens to be the last thing i ever do So have fun with me while I'm amongst you Paint my face and fill me up with brightly colored things, with rope in tow and length of wood encourage all to swing I was once of stone in love with the world i'll return to home if it happens to be the last thing i ever do so have fun with me while i'm amongst you.

about

A collection of demos and rough recordings...2001- early 2008 respectively. Some may see the light again in re-recordings, though it's pretty likely this will serve as a time capsule of old work moving forward. Enjoy!
