1.
I was once a child of forest, living in a silent torture. Frozen in asylum, falling mindless into corridors of light
2.
I was in a strange and unfamiliar place staring at the ceiling like the dying man's face Altering the columns of the palace hall burning like a face through the millennium walls From silence contort I'm bleeding all the colors from the windows of love I'm breaking glass I'm terrified Stumbling through the minion of the putrid race every space devoured by the people I hate Brainless spools of chemistry, puppets on strings hanging in the horror show and staring at me As I sink in my form I'll murder all of my hours away The wound is still warm We're bleeding out another day and I can't stand to see another day I can't stand to see another day

Late last night I started going out of my brain Soulless faces staring fuckless in their dismal reign I'm shaking in the window. Brain dead fucker glowing white. Shift solemn face...in the window. Chemicals bleed from the puncture of the eye Red faced, grinning, bleeding venom in his mind We're swimming through the columns Black blue figures standing cold eyed. Swollen head. . . in the window Nothing's going to break you when your brain is glowing red. Late last night I started going out of my head Alias faces staring dismal from the shed They see a body shaking White light bleeding from the hole inside your head I can see you. I can see you.

You want to be the one who says you care You want to be the one to take me there You want to be the one to keep me here as ugly days get tangled in my hair And now I stand inside your frozen light I see the monsters in your ugly mind They break the hourglass and sands of time spill through your eyes and fill me full with ugly lies and ugly fire You want to be the one that takes me there You want to be the one that says you care You want to be the one to keep me here as ugly days get tangled in my hair And now I stand beside your frozen mind And now I see the monsters in your eyes They break the hourglass and sands of time spill through your smile and cover me in time and cover me with vines

about

Back when we first purchased the old Grand Midway Hotel and had finally created a home of it, I began an odd approach to song writing. Where normally I'd demo a song Idea then work with it until it was a complete song, I instead just recorded a series of song ideas but committed all of them to one really long twisted song. It was titled "Zygotic Reaction".

In a sense, what I was doing was slowly building one big song. Each day that brought me a song idea, I would run into the 4-track room and add it to the end of my last song idea. Even if it didn't fit. After about 3 weeks, I finally stopped, realizing I'd put myself in a place I'd never been before. I was actually just finishing up a song that I had no recollection of how it even began. So having to go back and mix it was a mad ride.

... then after all of that work. What do I do? I still end up slicing that one epic song into a series of songs and all to make it at least a little easier for those who listen with sober minds.
