Barriers (live from my backyard - thanks birds)

It looks like there's some kind of problem here
There's a hole in his pancreas, a hole in his pancreas
This could take some time so go grab me a beer
There's a hole in his pancreas, a hole in his pancreas
These kidneys are hard as a stone
He was probably poisoned, probably poisoned
I'm glad that we're not here alone
Cause I'm already feeling paranoid
But hand me the scalpel, let's start the probe
This is kind of exciting, yeah it's kind of exciting
To see the intestines start to unfold
It reminds me of something, reminds me of something
A movie, perhaps, or a dream
I can never remember, it all blurs together
I’m finding it hard to believe
When you say this was someone important
Ah, but that doesn't change my point of view
This is only a number, just a corpse and a number
It looks like we're finally through
We've called in the data, they've processed the data
I can’t tell you how good it feels
To be working with people, I love working with people
As long as they don’t have to breath
Because breathing people are annoying

Working with People

Recorded at Strange Brew in Manchester, England, Aug. 18, 2014

Incapacitated

(I sort of screwed up the melody at the end of the first chorus so you'll just have to imagine what it was supposed to sound like. This is a new melody to an older song so I'm still trying to work out exactly how it's supposed to go.)

I know that nothing in this world's gonna last forever
And good times are subject to change
It's just that lately I've been thinking that I'm on some kind of roll
And I see no need to disengage

It's like at every turn, it just gets better for me
I know you don't believe it
I know we don't both agree

But I've got my chin up these days
No matter what you say
Feels that things are finally turning around
There's not enough to hold me down
I've got both feet off the ground
So let me fly as far as I can go
Cause if I'm going down I'm going down slow

It's sure amazing looking down from where I am
Up here so high and far above
I've got all my friends around me
And I'm rolling in the money
Right now I think I'm in love

But you say the higher the height
The farther the fall
And that I might just be risking it all

But I've got my chin up these days
No matter what you say
Feels that things are finally turning around
There's not enough to hold me down
I've got both feet off the ground
So let me fly as far as I can go
Cause if I'm going down I'm going down slow

It's like at every turn, it just gets better for me
I know you don't believe it
I know we don't both agree

But I've got my chin up these days
No matter what you say
Feels that things are finally turning around
There's not enough to hold me down
I've got both feet off the ground
So let me fly as far as I can go
Cause if I'm going down I'm going down slow


Chin Up 01.MP3

An older song that I'm considering revisiting at some point.

Friends And Lovers

Hang on now here, what's hapening? (Part 3).MP3

I removed a bunch of instruments and background vocals from this version. Think I prefer it this way.

Restoration (low production)

It seems you've lost your grip on what we call reality 
Because you're in too deep and it's affecting your sanity 
I think if you take a step back and you analyze just a bit 
You would begin to realize it's not such a nice fit 
Ah, but you won't do that... cause you never do that, whoa 
But you know when you play with fire 
And you're under such strong desire 
That's a surefire way for you to get burned 
Don't you know? That's a surefire way for you to get burned 
But you never learn. 
There's a thousand red flags pointing you away 
Still you're moving in the same direction every day 
Like some animal out in hot pursuit of its prey 
And the hunger only gives you much more energy 
When you're out there chasing... when you're out there chasing, oh 
But you know when you play with fire 
And you're under such strong desire 
That's a surefire way for you to get burned 
Don't you know? That's a surefire way for you to get burned 
But you never learn 
You don't listen 
No, you won't listen 
You don't listen... cause you never listen 
But you know when you play with fire 
And you're under such strong desire... 
You get burned 
You get burned 
You get burned 
You get burned
