"I'm so altruistic,"
a mask falls to decay,
"in a million years,
who cares!? I won't be here."
In the eyes of a hypocrite,
it's all justified,
the overdose,
the suicides,
were worth it.

If you manage to save one life,
while destroying millions more,
is that a success?
or a genocide?

A dissonant devil plays while everyone obeys.

No Comply

"A harness truth, like I said could be come your noose,
so keep it loose."

Hawk Eyes

A big fat question mark on reality, what we believe to be true and how we believe the world to operate. In order to figure out what's actually fact and what's fiction, you must open your mind to the possibility of it being a little silly or borderline utter non-sense.

This could be that or about this one time someone told me about their cousin meeting Obama. Or maybe I just made that all up too! Who knows!

Lyrics:

No one can find fault
in following your heart,
place two double A's in their backs
and then hit restart.
---
The only real hate speech,
is speech that wont let others speak
even then you have the right
just don't expect me to listen

out of ear shot
and out of sight
at one time people enjoyed their privacy.

Hate Speech

Nearly 10 minute scene shifting track.  Close your eyes, lay back and let it soak in :)

This is a recording from Jan 2016 of a song that was intended to be completed for my record 'A Big Download.' Why I opted out of it being considered for the project I can't really clearly say.  It may have been the ambitious spaciousness of the track, that it needed a band to be supported in a live setting or just the sheer volume of music I was creating at that time.  I hope you enjoy this musical time capsule from my time spent between Peterborough and Hamilton, the creakiness of the floors and the wonder that still permeates.

There's a Beauty (Demo)

A good track to shake your hips to or skate around your town to.

Jig See Saw

He's got a dirtstache
sharper than thumbtacks,
penny whistle legs
for when you played him back-
all the tapes hissing worse
than the geese,
we're at the poetry slam,
Jen's lisp written down
I can't help but laugh,
I can't help but laugh.

To be the youngest mast
in a marina of laugh-lines,
to be a shady patch
in the field at lunch-time.

The lost pigmentation of
my imagination

-Is flying first class
and soon will be back
blowing penny whistle legs,
skating the cul-de-sac,
so my old tapes are hissing worse
than the geese,
we're at the poetry slam,
Jen's lisp loud and proud,
I can't help but laugh,
I can't help but laugh.

Dirtstache

For Miri. Thank you for being one of Lindsey's best roommates. And for each and everyone of us, in the name of freedom to choose to be who we are today and to accept each other as such.
lyrics:
I wonder about Tom the rat,
Where's he at
in his track suit all velvet and black?
In this great wide web of consciousness,
conscious chairs in which you sit,
in all those minds
that I mess with,
that I mess with,
that I won't, I won't mess with

I wonder about Frank the cat,
white orange, no sign of black,
is that just the way that Frank likes to dress?
Does he discriminate in his prowess?
in his prowess,
in his prowess,
in his prowess.
