Chalk It Up to Distortion

ps03_tinny

Defined 

Preacher man says he knows the way
All I have to do is kneel and pray
He can show me the streets of gold

And now the boys are home
In the dark and all alone
Learning the grace of god on their knees

And now you're pissed with me
Instead of the pedo priest
That kind of thinking I don't understand

And all you got left to say 
Is that he works in mysterious ways
The last refuge of a broken mind

The last refuge


Yes the world is so defined. 
Gotta break the dogma down one brick at time
Yes the world is so defined
Gotta break the dogma down what's taking so much time

Leader man is in the way
Wants me to hear what he has to say
A vote for him is a vote for me

Meanwhile behind the scenes 
Big men with bigger dreams
And lots of cash to grease the wheels

And now the waters brown 
In some mid Michigan town
Better hope you never need to drink

Justice has run amok
If your the vic you're outta luck
Better learn to take it on the chin

Justice has run amok
If your the vic you're outta luck
Better learn to take it on the chin

Better learn to take it on

Yes the world is so defined. 
Gotta break the dogma down one brick at time
Yes the world is so defined
Gotta break the dogma down what's taking so much time


Notes:  Hi everyone,  think I am going to steal the line from my friends, November Sound, and say if you are reading this...I appreciate you.  This track has been in development for a while and another learning experience.  

This song is meant to rail against the systems that claim moral superiority and victimize their followers. Events as they are happening in our times and the frustration with the silent acceptance of this behavior. 

How defined these systems of control are and how we are born into blindly accepting these chains.  Then we spend our lives trying to figure out why happiness is so hard to find.   

Some major milestones on the engineering side and while I could rattle on about this... lets just say that the microphone recorded tracks out number the DI 5 to 1.  Custom processing chains, coupled with the best performances I could muster on the bottom shelf gear. 

Perfect...certainly not... but most definitely Tainted Icarus,  I hope you enjoy it and always my brothers and sisters.. peace and love! 
Tainted Icarus.

Dont Ever Look At The Face Of God

i see you all
you sang to me
surrender to me
all your shame
i will burn it away
surrender to me
all your pain
i will kiss it to flames

All Your Shame

Words:
Any time your kids have taught you something 
Any love that’s unconditional 
Any feeling put a label on it
Any peace no matter what the cost 

Any hope you have should keep you rolling 
Any dreams on which you hang your coat 
Any hate you have is gone by morning
Any place that you should just explore 

People are so strange when you know them 
They’re all the stars of their own one man show 
I need to find the peace of mind 
That make the troubles walk right past your front door 

Old Charlie Brown he wore a frown 
He taught new tricks to the old dogs 
He lined them up 
They pulled the rug
Reopen doors that already slammed hard

Old Charlie Brown he lost his crown
He turned his back on the old guard 
He built them up
They pulled the plug 
Reopen doors that already slammed hard

You’ll be remembered someday
Forever trapped in the play
Like a cold December Day
You’ll be home-schooled away
. . . Home-schooled away
You'll be home-schooled away
 
And when you find true love
The bastards will have their say
Chasing their tails and setting their sails
Like a castaway 3x

Date with protest, you gave a shout
Mixing your feelings and laughing about
Torn by the way you held your own barking dog
And pressured friends to Network jobs

I’m was feeling kind of jaded
Self-effaced and hated
Selfish and frustrated
and never created
 
Ran through the back door and held the key
Wind screamed through the dusty screen
Scores of crows were circling the sky
The omens were bad and the adults always lied
 
I’m was feeling kind of jaded
Self-effaced and hated
Selfish and frustrated
and never created

You’ll be remembered someday
Forever trapped in the play
Like a cold December Day
You’ll be home-schooled away
. . . Home-schooled away
. . . Home-schooled away
 
And when you find true love
The bastards will have their say
Chasing their tails and setting their sails
Like a castaway 10x

Darren Sullivan / Bluedusksun Collab ~ Seven Twelve

CITY OF DREAMS
I met you on the Roof
of the Roosevelt Hotel.
I threw a coin
into your wishing well.

Took the elevator
to penthouse 
number ten,
saw you from the balcony,
wanted to be friends.

Swimming in the fountain
at Washington Square.
I didn't recognize you,
you had changed your hair.

The dealers deal,
the children skate,
living in the shadow 
of the Empire State.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

We said goodbye 
in Puertorican-Chinese.
I'm on Eighth Avenue
down on my knees.

The wail of the siren,
the roar of the train,
you said goodbye,
it'ill never be the same.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

City of Dreams (a NYC story)

While The Dark Queen held court as stated before, this man walks into her court. She is baffled As this Man is brought to the throne... She recognizes him!! He attempts to remind her who he really is. She Knows this man. But he never knew her at All. He only Knew her as a muse to him always in the shadows ..The Dark Queen turns sad and cold..  She turns away for a moment with a slight tear in her eye. Remembering the Past..... Stay tuned to be continued!!!!

Track 4: From the soon  to be released  in August Tales From The Dark Queen

Inspired by the early nineties music of Brad, Satchel, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Slint and Stone Temple Pilots - to name a few - plus the soulful voice of the massively underrated, and much missed, Shawn Smith. 

Rocking and rolling with an independent spirit. Keep on keeping on.
