Satie invigorated ( or maybe I need to get to know him better ) - excellent work Allen - thank you

Like a pointillist landscape of brief and well-arranged piano notes, exquisitely complemented by some brushstrokes of prepared piano.  Excellent piece!

Living a life that I can't contain
I guess it's all my fault
Run through the wild with the scars I keep
They remind me of where I'm from
--------------------------------------------------------
Oh, numb my mind / I've lost my sight
So come at night / And taste a bite
--------------------------------------------------------
Scratch away from the skin
You said you wanted to go again
Well now it's time to sink or swim
Oh, my words are running thin
In a river full of lies
Yeah, the truth comes out in time
By that time, I hope your wise
Until then, you're running blind
--------------------------------------------------------
Reaching for things that I can't hold onto
I'm losing all my grip
Sailing the sea on half a plank
I'm on a sinking ship
--------------------------------------------------------
Oh, let me in / Inside your mind
You're still right here / You've lost the fight
So give right in / Oh, sink or swim
You have no choice / Oh, in the end
--------------------------------------------------------
*cheesy drum roll i made on fl studio*
--------------------------------------------------------
Scratch away from the skin
You said you wanted to go again
Well now it's time to sink or swim
Oh, my words are running thin
In a river full of lies
Yeah, the truth comes out in time
By that time, I hope your wise
Until then, you're running blind

Sink or Swim

Another Morry original. Kids going off to college and transitioning through high school, so hoping to get together in Aug or Sept to be able to post more. Hope all our SC friends are doing well!

Usual, chronic lack of time to properly fine-tune the whole damn, anyway...to be continued_ _

Aged 23…

Youth is a bad curse/

Youth is a disease/

Youth is a bad thing/

Youth is just a myth.

The youth is a myth/

Youth is a disease/

Youth is a myth/

Aged 23…

Being young is a curse/

Silly (x23)

The province is beautiful,

the province sucks, 

the province is beautiful, 

the province sucks, the province has ruined you, the province has impoverished you, 

the province can save you,

the province is bloody, 

no one can save you.

Jewels Of The Night Sky w/Henry Koek

magic to sea 
or just listen with your heart

Butterfly's achievement 

far more dangerous and at a greater distance 
a purring cat is lying next to a dying bird 
and we don't dream no more 

the story of the envellop 
was so much bigger than the letter 
my body is a temple of which the roof collapsed 
and I don't dream no more 

it is a butterfly's achievement 
to blindly follow rules 
etched deeply in its intestines 
with the tiniest of needles 
and it doesn't dream no more 

the deed was done 
the story written 
had a lot to be thankfull for 
but noone to thank
dreams don't dream themselves no more 

each one tries to fit in the previouses footprints 
tries to repeat what doesn't repeat 
footprints are too tight or just a bit too wide 
i guess we'll have to dream some more 

all of us have a past, we can only dream a future 
i have seven dreams a minute 
and they all split up in two, or three, or four, or more 
i grasp to keep them with me 
to read before dispose 
i just don't have the eyes for it 
its a freakin' overdose
