LYRICS:
The comedy of man starts like this:
Our brains are way too big for our mother’s hips
So, nature, she devised this alternative:
We emerge half-formed and hope whoever greets us on the other end
Is kind enough
To fill us in
And, babies, that’s pretty much how it’s been ever since

Now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
Like say that half of us are periodically iron deficient
So somebody’s gotta go kill something while I look after the kids
I’d do it myself, but what, are you gonna get this thing his milk?
He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt we can switch
It’s hard not to fall in love with something so helpless
Ladies, I hope we don’t end up regretting this

Comedy
Now that’s what I call pure comedy
Just wait until the part where they start to believe
They’re at the center of everything
And some all powerful being
Endowed this horror show with meaning

Their religions are the best
They worship themselves but they’re totally obsessed
With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks
In these unbelievable outfits
And they get terribly upset
If you question their sacred texts 
Written by woman-hating epileptics

Their languages just tend to confuse them
Their confusion somehow makes them more sure
Now they’re much too bright for the old superstitions 
But they’re yet to find a new one they won’t serve

Where did they find these clowns they elected to rule them
They recline in outrage at the 
These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
So they can go on being godless animals

Comedy
Their illusions that are all that they can see
Their horizons that just forever recede
How’s this for irony:
Their idea of being free
Is a prison of beliefs
They’ve every right to never leave

Comedy
It’s like something that a madman would conceive
The only thing that seems to makes them feel alive
Is the struggle to survive
But the only thing that they request 
Is something to numb the pain with
Until there’s nothing human left

Just random matter suspended in the dark
Hate to say it, but each other’s all we’ve got

Pure Comedy

More kids are going to die now thanks to the unbelievably selfish immigration policy of places like Saudi Arabia and the USA.

LYRICS:

One side says:
“Y’all go to hell”
The other says:
“If I believed in God I’d send you there”
But either way we make some space
In the hell that we create
On both sides

One side says:
“Kill ‘em all”
The other says:
“Line those killers up against the wall”
But either way some blood is shed
Thanks to our cooperation
On both sides

One side says:
“Man, take what’s yours!”
The other says:
“Live on no more than you can afford”
But either way we just posses
And everyone ends up with less
On both sides

Two Wildly Different Perspectives

Safe Keeping

"A Note from Gabriel" - a song about two millionaires with an old secret, written for the album Portraits of Old Faces. Just me on vocals and piano. Hope you enjoy! :)

A Note From Gabriel (rough acoustic take)

Upon all the living and the dead addresses loss of loved ones before their time, a deep emotional trauma, and how the composer learned to move through it. The death of those that are so important to us leaves us with a sense of loss—not just of that person, but of what they could have been, a sort of stolen good. The text and the piece overall are both based on the idea that it does not have to be interpreted as a loss. Instead, we must consider what they brought to the world while they were still in it, how it affected those around them, and how that good ripples out into the cosmos, long after any of us will be here to see it.
(Three movements I. silver and dark, II. sleepily the flakes, III. thickly drifted)

Upon all the living and the dead - for chamber orchestra

The Dark Side

Tarnish is a work for solo viola in three movements written in close collaboration with Teddy Wątróbska, exploring the boundaries in my compositions between noise and music, finding a new way into a semi-lyrical expression of the process of loss and disintegration.

Tarnish - for viola

I don't write music anymore. It's for the best.
