Sky spitting can’t decide what it wants to do
I wish it would just open up and pour down on me
At least to stop the wipers squeaking across the windshield
intermittent wipers keep streaking across the windshield

I’m driving in the dark 
away from my one time home
Wondering if and when
We will all be together again

And we can see that life is balanced
So precariously
And when it comes to tomorrows,
There is no guarantee

And sometimes from the edge
There is a beautiful, beautiful view
If the fear of falling 
doesn’t have to tight a hold on you

And sometimes from the edge
There is a beautiful, beautiful view
If the fear of falling 
doesn’t have to tight a hold on you

Firmer Ground (Instrumental)

Whispers of the Ethereal

Watch on video YouTube

Joe climbed the ladder, took it rung by rung
Dreamed of boardrooms and his name on their tongues
Bought the big house, the car that shines
But the mirror still shows empty eyes

Oh, he thought he'd smile with the world in his hand
But joy slipped through like grains of sand

The secret of happiness, my friends
It's a wisdom that bends and transcends
Leave behind your grand aspirations
The true secret is low expectations

Lisa chased love, thought it'd fill the space
Matched a million profiles, searched every face
A wedding with doves, a honeymoon sky
Still she cried when the sparkle died

She thought a soulmate would complete her soul
But the heart stays hollow when it's full of holes

The secret of happiness, my friends
It's a wisdom that bends and transcends
Leave behind your grand aspirations
The true secret is low expectations

Oh, the treadmill keeps you running
But it's all in your head
You're chasing a rainbow
To find it's just lead
When the bar gets higher
The stakes stay low
Cut that cord, baby
Let it go, let it go

Annie chased fame, thought it'd light her name
The spotlight burned bright, but it's all just a game
Signed every contract, played every show
But applause fades fast when you're left alone

She thought the limelight would make her whole
But the stage just echoes an empty soul

The secret of happiness, my friends
It's a wisdom that bends and transcends
Leave behind your grand aspirations
The true secret is low expectations

So here's the wisdom, bitter and sweet
Put down your crown, get off your feet
The secret's not glory, gold, or finesse
It's learning to live with a little less

The Secret of Happiness

She’s the queen of the night
Dancing under the strobe lights
She has blue eyes and blonde hair
Born for Vanity Fair


They say she’s very greedy,
Dirty, wicked, and really lazy.
She’s broken many men’s hearts,
But she isn’t a girl in all parts.


She’s a man, I know it,
Even if she doesn’t show it.
Now she has princess eyes,
But we know what the dress hides.


Dear friend, I know the events,
And I’ve seen your bad moments.
She’s the one who hit you coldly,
Even if you never told me.

Get up and go talk to her,
You never stopped loving her.
Accept who she wants to be,
And try to live free.


She’s a man, I know it,
Even if she doesn’t show it.
Now she has princess eyes,
But we know what the dress hides.


She’s a man, I know it,
Even if she doesn’t show it.
Now she has princess eyes,
But we know what the dress hides.

She’a man, yes she’s a man
I know it, yes i know it
She’a man, yes she’s a man
I know it, yes i know it



Get up and go talk to her,
You never stopped loving her.
Accept who she wants to be,
And try to live free.


She’s a man, I know it,
Even if she doesn’t show it.
Now she has princess eyes,
But we know what the dress hides.


She’s a man, I know it,
Even if she doesn’t show it.
Now she has princess eyes,
But we know what the dress hides.

Even if unexpected events knock you off track for a while, get back up – you’ll come out stronger than ever.

Wedding Day

ModMatrix 002

Today is calling with a crooked smile
Just 5am and I walk a crooked mile
And you there sleeping like a little child
And me here working, and the thought it drives me wild
And oh no, got to make it through the day
It ain’t forever but I got to earn my pay
The kick inside you says it’s got to be this way and so I’m

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

The sun it falling as I walk these dirty streets
15 below, I can barely feel my feet
Turn the corner and she’s waiting by the wall
My heart is beating and I’m waiting for her call
And I’m home and I’m taking in your smile
Is this forever, or is it just a little while
And if we’re guilty then I’m ready for the trial and so we’re

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

Now you’re here dreaming, laying in my arms
3 hearts are beating, underneath the stars
But I’m not sleeping, ‘cause I got to find a way
To pack away our fantasies, our Dreams and fly away…..

Walking On a Thin Line

IR1S (Intelligent Recognitive Integrated Sound) is an alternative band electronic music project where the central characters in every song are women. Each track tells a story, explores a social issue, or expresses a thought from the perspective of these protagonists, weaving together elements of both fictional narratives and real-life experiences. Drawing inspiration from strong women in literature, cinema, and dystopian worlds, IR1S creates a unique soundscape that blends powerful storytelling with evocative electronic beats.
