I Lost My Shoes

I Lost My Shoes (Prelude)

Doug Wilson

A devotion to the goddess of sand and beaches, Psamathe, "Sands of Time" is a telling of two fearless friends who will stop at nothing to garner the love of their deity. 

Psamathe was the mother to an Egyptian king, a love interest of Apollo, and a victim of persecution by her father Nereus, who ordered her death. Psamathe is the sand of every beach. When you put your piggies in the sand, remember to thank Psamathe for your relaxation and exfoliation.

Sands of Time

The feeling of living inside a circle.

Life inside a circle
Is a drag all around
Not much sense in summit
'Cause the ceiling's the ground

Paint yourself a portrait
Apply a proper noun
Cry out until you cough a lung
Never make a sound

Baptized in maybe
Soaked in maybe not
I might mean nothing and that might mean a lot
Tell me what's the plan 'cause the plot
Is thick as blood, I'm sick of love on the give and go
Are we kismet, are we killer? 
I'll be the last one to know

Life reciting circumstance is a life of lost and found
A life spend deciphering signals
Like a pitcher on the mound
Paint in shades of hazel, play with turquoise, teal, and brown
Hang it up for the world to see
Never take it down

Baptized in maybe
Soaked in maybe not
I might mean nothing and that might mean a lot
Tell me what's the plan 'cause the plot
Is thick as blood, I'm sick of love on the give and go
Are we kismet, are we killer? 
Is it fate or is it filler?

Life inside a circle
Is a drag all around
Not much sense in summit
Cause the ceiling's the ground

Life Inside a Circle

My Dearest Listener, 

Breathe in. Tap into the feeling of knowing something’s over and yearning to return to life without the searing scar of that something throbbing with every passing reminder of it. Breathe out. When you’re ready, smash play and ask yourself, “does this song make that feeling audible and tangible?” If it does, then perhaps there are others that would benefit from hearing it. How better to spread the healthy expression of niche feelings such as this than with music?
lyrics
Moving on's not
Moving forward and
It's a chore but
Sometimes, sometimes
You gotta do the latter
First and foremost
What you ignore most controls you
Lord knows
Sometimes, sometimes
You hope for the best and expect the
Worst of all you've got no missed calls
You talk to the walls 'cause
Sometimes, sometimes
It's all you can do, not to burst

You're about to burst
Oh, you're about to burst
Oh, where do you go?
Where did you go?
Where do I go?
When I know, I'm not

Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on

I'm not moving on
I'm not moving on and on and on and on and on
I'm not moving on

Ooh bah bah da da
Ooh bah bah da da
Ooh bah bah da da
Ooh bah bah da da

Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on
I'm not
Moving on

Moving On

I'm tired of losing
I'm tired of snow
I'm tired of running round and round with no place to go

And I've tied up loose ends
I thought you should know

When I run out of hope this rope is not just for show
Woah

I
I feel sick
I feel sick
Woah
I
I feel sick
I feel sick
I feel sick
I feel sick

Well I'm tired of choosing
When the answer's no
I'm tired of sewing my seeds to see that nothing will grow
And I'm tired of bruising
I'm beat down and low
In a panic to feel the peace from a year ago

Woah
I
I feel sick
I feel sick
Woah
I
I feel sick
I feel sick
I feel sick
I feel it

I
Feel
Sick

Woah
I
I feel sick
I feel sick
Woah
I
I feel sick
I feel sick
I feel sick

I Feel Sick

This song is about being in a position of destitution where they have to stop and do anything for themselves lest they subject themselves to the eternal nothing.

Anything 4 U

This song is about being in a bad place and coming to a good place

Resuscitate the Sun

Slug is a very cryptic break up song. The story of a 3 year relationship is told in a 7 syllable words and phrases in the middle, but it's also told by the structure of the song. Beginning beautifully and gracefully slowly building into a dramatic, chaotic end.

This is track 3 of my 4 song EP. Listen "Cycle" below to complete the ride through the Gooby universe, or go to "Fishes" to start the journey!
