Fractures in the ground, 
they open up to swallow youth;
taking on the weight of quiet breaths 
are districts running on the soul left in you.

When businesses build monuments
to the waking hours you spend,
cubicles collapse into themselves
for a life you live on weekends.

The faultlines down the hallway
are drawn by silence in foreign hours.
Half-life/full-death from a cold apartment,
it's been two years since you saw stars.

When businesses build monuments
to the waking hours you spend,
cubicles collapse into themselves
for a life you live on weekends.

Should you lose yourself in passing trains,
rest assured I'll find you.
If you're sinking in a sea of suits,
I'll part the waves to save you.
Once that corner office corners your soul,
I'll bare my teeth to keep things whole.
If we're getting out of this alive,
then promise me it's worth it this time.

When businesses build monuments
to the waking hours you spend,
cubicles collapse into themselves
for a life you live on weekends.

Love in Athens - Skyscrapers Will Fall and Love Will Rise to Take Their Place

Mayee wrote this song and I did this treatment of it to convince her it would've worked for our old band.

Mount Analogue - Ukulele Song

Love in Athens - Your New Boyfriend (Rocketship Cover)

My old band used to play this song live. Never did a full version of the damn thing.

Mount Analogue - Tender Swirls (2012 Demo)

Your ache can color itself in nervous shades of hollow light; wretching against the walls your flesh raised to protect you from the things you said you wanted. 

Flowers won’t blossom from the first cut but the envelope makes you feel less alone. 

It’s only skin and moments spent drunk in the touch of another; fleeting, and in warm blurs that pulse as if to say, “I won’t return.” 

There is nothing. There is nothing to miss. I didn’t feel a thing.

Love in Athens - Primary Debridement

Lyrics and vocals by Chnl.One

You can stumble, but can you get back up? It's the pain, the feelings where I get stuck; disconnected and distraught, laughing at a joke no one told. I only smile or cry when I can't feel anything at all. 

Brought down to my knees by this insanity, I hope you're only as miserable as you want to be. You shrug and smile so unhappily. I hope you're only as miserable as you want to be.

Love in Athens - Manresa By The Sea (feat. Chnl.One)

Are you honestly afraid of losing the control you’ve since been denied over the body of another? Responses may vary. The same way, your standards may not apply to the autonomy of inalienable human rights.

Your barbed tongue stops short of my skin, and these white knuckles say I won’t let you back in. I feel all the pain of systemic abuse; burdened in my old age for the beauty of my youth.


Love In Athens - Immaculate Bodies

Running my Jazzmaster into a 1960s Ace Tone SA-2. The amp is a 25 watt solid-state with a single 12" speaker. This was recorded through the amp's low-gain input with the volume a bit below 2.

Ace Tone SA-2 Test

Nothing beats the Boss HM-2. I came up with a way to simulate the buzzsaw effect of the mighty Heavy Metal pedal, but could only come this close without applying an EQ boost to the 1k range. The first clip is the HM-2 into a slightly driven Tech 21 British. The second clip is a Caroline Wave Cannon into a Tech 21 British with the Character and Gain knobs set to 3 o'clock.

Boss HM - 2 Vs Caroline Wave Cannon

I write a lot about friends going through embarrassing spots in life.

[OLD SONGS] Mount Analogue - Sisterloves (Demo)

Behringer UMC202 - Interface Test

Lyrics: Would it scare you to know that all this time, I've been falling for you? It's not that easy to show but there's no point in hiding the truth. Well, hello miss. Look back. There's a boy who loves you here and that boy is me.
