Unnecessary (Demo)

Witches ft. Jim Marcus of GoFight(Premaster)

Infinity

I wrote this whole thing on the iPad. The vocals were sung into the iPad in my car (I was away from my studio, visiting my folks).

The lyrics are about the idea of future selves repeatedly trying to come back and fix themselves in the past but only succeeding in making matters worse. I do like me some scifi.

The film Primer had *some* degree of influence on this song ;)

walked to the flat and I bump into me
thought I was looking in a mirror, till he pulled out the key
turned and smiled and I asked: 
so who're you supposed to be?

we authenticated with a series of jokes
I invited him in, poured us a vodka and coke
and I asked:
so how bad did it get that you came back to talk to me?

c---

you and me, we're doing fine
another ten years down the line
all our stupid dreams
came true in the end, you'll see

picturesque house and devoted wife
two point four kids, the perfect life
you just need to change one thing
and I'll let you be

v2---

two days later, I'm back at the door
I'd call it deja vu, but I've been here before
I'm standing and looking
at a couple of copies of me

I did what you asked, but it seems that you're back
the first one looked happy, the second one black
as they started to fight I shook my head
and poured the drinks for three

c---

you and me, we're doing fine
another ten years down the line
all our stupid dreams
came true in the end, you'll see

picturesque house and devoted wife
two point four kids, the perfect life
you just need to change one thing
and I'll let you be

v3---

one week later, I walk up the stairs
no surprise to me, but plenty of theirs
three motherfucking clones 
are waiting for me

I said ENOUGH, my brothers, there's too much clamour
headed to the bedroom with with a bottle and a hammer
trashed my computer 
and drank until I couldn't see

c---

you know me, I'm doing fine
If I get another year down the line
I won't give a fuck what else
happens to come to be


did what you asked but it's all still black
I don't want you motherfuckers coming back
I trust my beliefs
but I know that I can never trust me

---

ten years later, I'm still alive
picturesque failure, no kids, no wife
but I love myself enough that I know 
I have to set myself free

So I Said You Died

There's Nothing Left & As The Sky Falls

Gotta say, I have no idea why this came out of my head.

But when something like that's in you, you've got to let it out.

I like music.

Sometimes I make music.

Sometimes I record it.
