This is a reinvented classical piece I had written well over a decade ago and is still listed here as well.  I hope you enjoy it.

Wistful Animus

Intention of ReInvention

Buy me!

I had a song that couldnt be anything else but country.  So here it is?

Bring on the Rain

Support Me

Jack&Coke

about living in two worlds - the crushing weight of reality and the liberating escape of imagination.

Lyrics ~
The hours consume, they grind me to dust
A life built on anger, depression, disgust
Day after day, the weight of my skin
Is the shape of failure, my ugly twin

I dream that I’m flying, a phoenix of flame
I breathe in the colors, they know me by name
I live in the Out | Side, my home for the night 
The dream is my real life and all else is lies

Im the puppet they laugh at, torment, and tease
The world doesn’t care, it delights in disease 
Rage is my blood, a hatred within 
I’d rather be dead than forced to fit in

I dream that I’m flying, a phoenix of flame
I breathe in the colors, they know me by name
I live in the Out | Side, my home for the night 
The dream is my real life and all else is lies

I raise my hand, cast a finger in blame,
Yet three are turned back, cursing my name.

Look at me flying, a blue phoenix in flame
rose from the  ashes and carries no name
I live in the Out | Side, I created this place
Its just for me, this is my space

I am the unwanted, forsaken, alone
Don't want your pity, I stand on my own
Rejected, defiant, maligned by design
The unwanted are many, and their strength is mine

Out Side

Out | Side

Ever been around someone you thought might need this song?   

Lyrics:

You talk too much, do it every day
Cant hear myself think with all your words in the way
You talk too much and im not implyin'
motormouth running with noone drivin'

Silence is golden, respect is earned
mouth always open, you'll never learn
Blabbermouth blabbadin, always something to say
Just shut the fuck up and go away

You talk too much, won't take a hint
Everybody's gone, wonder where they went
You talk too much, no wordsmith contender
Raging talk-a-holic on a weekend bender

Silence is golden, respect is earned
mouth always open, you'll never learn
Mouthpiece display, always something to say
Just shut the fuck up and go away

I gotta bounce, cant deal right now
Gotta get away but you find me anyhow
So much to say, what’s the goal
Just bullshit coming out every hole
Oh you got advice? You got plans?
Go pay a model to listen on onlyfans
 
Silence is golden, respect is earned
mouth always open, you'll never learn
Know it all, talk-monger, day-after-day
Just shut the fuck up and go away

Bringin everyone down, killed the mood like that
If it was a talent, you'd be sittin on stacks
You need a new hobby, this is not the way
Just shut the fuck up and go away
Shut the fuck up and go away

STFU

CandyLand is a metaphorical descent into addiction and the many forms it takes.  A simplified portrayal of how obsession, compulsion, and self-destructive patterns intertwine beneath a deceptively sweet surface.

Lyrics:

Head in the clouds on flame and candy
Only way I got to keep my sanity
Rise above it all, lookin' down at the sky
Got the best A-to-Z that money can buy

Need to find a way to stay
Fading out of tune
Goin' lights-out
Popped a bubble gum balloon         

Vibin' out of time, tracin' lines with my mind
Little out of focus, happens all the time 
Just hit a little bit, this wasn't part of the plan               
In a downward spiral to CandyLand      

Got a lot going on, read between the lines
Candy-coated, fully loaded, want it all the time
Blurry little faces are fadin' in and out
10 'till 4, down for more, zero money now

Every sugar-coated kiss just keeps me up all night
Got to leave this powdered bliss, I always lose that fight

Vibin' out of time, tracin' lines with my mind
Little out of focus, happens all the time 
Just hit a little bit, this wasnt part of the plan               
In a downward spiral to CandyLand   

Can't make out what's real today
Too damn weak to run away
Cut myself to see if I'd bleed
Someones in here - coming for me
Unending misery is taking its toll
Chemical romance got me under control

Candyland, built on abuse
try to leave, whats the use
Last stop on the tour, ain't life grand
Got my one-way ticket to CandyLand

Vibin' out of time, tracin' lines with my mind
Little out of focus, happens all the time 
Just hit a little bit, this wasnt part of the plan               
Down on my knees in Candyland

CandyLand

Days bleed together, still feels new
Been too long since I've seen you
If this is love, take it away
Time ain't healin', and I'm feelin' the pain
 
So unclear
Need a break
Unfolding memories
No escape
Out of time
Cant erase
Ohhh please help me
out of this place

Show me mercy, I'm inside out
If this is hate, tell me now
I see her smile behind my eyes
Stay in focus to replay the lies
Here on the road less traveled
I'm unraveled
Unraveled

All the faces, lost count again
Forgetting things, let me in
If this is life, let me see
Nothing good comes from me

So unclear
Need a break
Unfolding memories
No escape
Out of time
Cant erase
Ohhh please help me
out of this place

Show me mercy, I'm inside out
If this is death, take mne now
I see her smile, it haunts me still.
Night after night it's all uphill
Here on the road less traveled
I am unraveled
Unraveled
Unraveled

Unraveled

This track is about the erosion of privacy in modern society. It uses glass as a metaphor for people.  Every action, word, and movement is monitored, recorded, and judged under a system of constant surveillance. What we’re told is freedom is really an illusion, engineered within a cage of exposure.  There are no secrets left and the cost of existing under such relentless observation is vulnerability, paranoia, and the progressive destruction of personal freedom.

Always watching, don't turn away
You the big time now, only took a day
Obsidian Empire, with a perfect view
You watch your TV and it watches you
Every move captured and sent down below
You won't need a ticket, welcome to the show

Transparent, exposed
Join the parade
You know the type
Just a charade
Never noticing their steady trespass
Glass

"For your safety," small print on a form
That menacing calm before the storm
Get off the grid you'd heard as a kid
We know where you'd go before you did
Call yourself free in the architect's prism
Ain't really freedom in this man-made schism

Transparent, exposed
Join the parade
ou know the type
Just a charade
Never noticing their steady trespass
They see right through you just like glass
Glass
Glass
Glass

Call yourself free in the architect's prism
Ain't really freedom in this man-made schism
Think what you want, at least for now
But voice no opinion, keep your head down
Eyes in disguise, a gift from lucifer
Judge, jury and executioner

Transparent, exposed
Join the parade
We create the hype
It's all a charade
Never noticing our steady trespass
We see right through you
You're the glass
Glass
Glass
Glass

Glass

Abjure: To formally renounce, reject, or give up something, especially under oath.  This track is about the renouncement or rejection of a faith and its consequences.  

I wasnt going to release this with the intro and all, but then got over that since this is more for me than you.  Actual song starts about 1:37 or so...   Enjoy or dont.  Lyrics below:

Intro:
I am the incomprehensible.
The unending.  
Hear me now.
Collapse.  Rend.  Wither.

Track:
Burn the sky
With a thousand suns
No gods to please
No kingdom come

Rewrite your truth
The chosen few
Built the world
That swallows you

Come undone
Vanishing Son
Abjure; betray
Waste away

In defiance
Born to die
Bleed in silence
Live the lie

God spurned
Lessons learned

Come undone
Vanishing Son
Abjure; betray
Waste away

Come undone
Vanishing Son
Abjure; decay
Waste - Away

Abjure

Just a regular guy being regular, regularly.
Its sad I have to say this here, but if you find yourself in the "unique" position to have something to sell; that thinks they can help me; that thinks I will pay you to be on a some random fucking playlist --> Go fuck yourself. I'd rather no one listen than pay for an audience.  Be gone fool.

This track is not available anymore.
