"
I realize she's a siren disguised
her lullaby is injected as her teeth incise
she's highly infectious
she's makin' me feckless
I follow a deathwish when I hear her breath hiss
eyes without a face
her lips do encase
she's like Eve with an apple
'Arsenic and Old Lace'
[yet I'm drinkin' her down]
what's all this fuss 'bout a psychedelic trip
[when she can murder me and still be hip]
I'm so blue --- she's out there
so ... I'll say my prayers
say my prayers
say my prayers

"Eyes without a Face" [2023 REMASTER] - Michael Ash Sharbaugh

Anyone listening to this song will think how on earth did she come up with this....
Well yesterday I discovered an interesting synth and found a guitar called Pawnshop and that is how the name of this production came about.

The lyrics started from that point on.
#creativeme

Presenting my latest production:

The Pawn Shop
(spoken word)
It's across the street
from the railway line
and just around the corner

there's a neon sign 
saying
we buy everything
just bring it down
but we won't give you what it's worth

You see
one man's pain
is another man's pleasure

One man's trash 
is another man's treasure

So I walked into the pawn shop
and what did 
I see

Lots of brands
have intense names
like rigor mortis
or mortuary
well were'nt that intense
we called ourselves the injured

What kind of things do you see

Everything in here has a story
and a price

You ever know what's
going to come through that door

Now your in my way
and I am not interested
what's under the counter
looking around

what  did I see
I dont want to come home with you
I'd rather go back to my owner
I should not have landed here at all
I know there was a reason
I was brought here
I hope that one day
I'll be claimed back
and sent home
to my owner
where I belong
I didn't want to be here
I was sold off
That's the story
of the Pawnshop
around the corner
Neon Lights
saying
We Buy Everything

The Great Pretender

Lyrics & Vocals by Heidi-Marie Arapa - ARAPA Music


I know your lonely
but no one can tell
Oh yeah
Your the great pretender
We all knew that
then when you 
couldn’t stand it
you packed your bags
and headed out of town

Now your pretending
your doing well
I still see your hanging around
 and I’m on to you

Your everywhere
You pretend so much
oh yeah

Your the great pretender
in a world of your own

It’s a never ending story
and i’ve played your game
It’s a real shame
that you left this place
with mud on your hands
as you’ve always done
and yes
You seem to be what
Your not
You see
It’s actually me
Wearing the crown
Too real is this feeling
Not like you
a feeling of make believe
and your so lonely
but no one can tell
Too real is this
Your the wicked sister
that I once knew
And your pissed off
Cause you couldn't stand it
But that's your problem
Cause I don't really care
You gave me trouble
Over the years
That I'm singing

The Great Pretender

DARK WAVE | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
