Broken-down well
in a valley broke.
What we encase
keeps us afloat.

There is no vaccine
for the rotten watermelon rind.
There is no angel
for the gas station attendant
shot at point-blank range.
There is no justice for the motive
on the roof, o'er the fence.

What is the soul motivation?
Is there a reason
to live
without freedom?
Besides what you are
remembered by when you leave.

There are no embarrassments
on the eve of the balcony
as gravity kicks in
at four in the morning.

Where were the stars
when the pills sprawled across the floor?
and blood ran down the mirror.

There is no director above you.
The hands reach into the void
for the thing not yet there.

Come up with hands of seaweed
with salt in the air.
Drive the high desert.
Fold in alone.

There is no mercy.
The land as dry as bone.
My body knows it's poisoned
as it drifts to the unknown.

Occupy some trailer.
Meld with the occult.
Let the devil take you down
the highways
with a leather case
and cigarette smoke.

Words by Riley Robinson

Faith Lost

A simple, rather loose, jazz ensemble, and a simple message.
It seems as though the social and political turbulence is much like trying to paddle your own canoe - it's going to get rough and it will feel as though hope is lost, but don't stop and don't despair. Hope Floats.

The song was originally intended as a relationship muse, where two people are supposed to be paddling, together, in the same direction, but the boat keeps turning 'round and 'round. It takes courage to realize you can only control your own paddle and how you use it. It can be overwhelming and daunting, at times, and you may be inclined to abandon ship: don't.

Lyrics:

I got my paddle in the water, 
I'm paddling with all I've got
The bow is sinking slowly, 
Glanced off a rock.
And i'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current,
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me I'm goin', goin' ,goin',  down

(instrumental break)

I got a bucket in the water
I'm bailin' but it's not enough, no.
The water's slowly risin'
And I'm runnin' out of luck.
And I'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me, I'm goin', goin' down,
I'm goin' down.

Blink Twice - Vile Bestiary

J'ai le plaisir de partager avec vous mon morceau - Thallo
Issu de mon nouveau set
Projet intimiste jazzy/rock/blues/funk/hiphop, qui jongle entre old school et modernité, porté par un son de guitare rond, vivant, chaud, organique
Ici l'objectif est d'arpenter des terrains cosys, calmes et poétiques.

Lyrics:

FORGIVE ME NOW
Yesterday I lost my way
I remember all that day
    when my heart was hot as fire
I dreamt your eyes...forgive my cries.

Yesterday I lost again
My desires I could not restrain
    and my heart was hot as fire
I dreamt your eyes...forgive my cries.

Yesterday I lost my way
I remember all that day...

Forgive me now
I wanna explain, see you again, show you my pain
My heart is just for you.
Forgive me now
I wanna cry, I wanna try, show you the life 
    I dreamt for you and me.

Yesterday I lost my way
I'd been waiting for that day
     and my heart was hot as fire
The air was cold, my love unfolded.

Yesterday I lost again
Your chose made me pain
    and my heart was hot as fire
I dreamt your eyes, I did my cries.

Yesterday I lost my way
I remember all that day...

Forgive me now
I wanna explain, see you again, show you my pain
My heart is just for you.
Forgive me now
I wanna cry, I wanna try,  show you the life 
    I dreamt for you and me.

Now available- Blink Twice - Newer Unknown Breeds 
https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/newer-unknown-breeds-expanded-edition

Expanded version of Blink Twice's 2nd album (originally released 1998), with bonus never before released material from 2000-2003

"Newer Unknown Breeds" was at the time a further development in sound for Blink Twice. The album expanded on the techno and electro genre much more than Blink Twice's debut "Other Locations". There was an increase usage of sampling on this collection of material, often with looped effects incorporated to add further density. With the blend of tribal and industrial elements remaining, it serves as an adventurous concoction of experimental rhythmic and darker ambient electronic music.


For the full scope of my output including new Blink Twice tracks,  I direct you to my main Mood Exhibit account- https://soundcloud.com/r-salchaks-mood-exhibit
Blink Twice  is my alter ego project of electro/industrial/dark ambient/experimental.
This account has no more room for uploads, but Blink Twice still exists as my dark subconscious -
