quite an unsettling composition - the vocal treatment dislodging it from a normal human sense - and the message - it's somewhat creepy :) but fun too

dark, suspense and thriller track, well done mike.. 😉👍👍

But of course she LOVES monsters because they're the only men that have resisted the cultural/educational betrization (see Stanislaus Lem) and you keep us all hooked waiting for the...the what usually happens especially in monster cases...

All The Craziness Of The World Is Going Away

If there was a contest for worst song of the day,  this might have a chance.

Frank loved Chara
And Chara loved Frank
But when the doorbell rang,
Frank’s heart sank
His poor heart sank. 
And he ran upstairs
And started to quack. 

Chara was coming
Chara was coming for dinner
And she was thirty minutes early
And he hadn’t cooked one dish
Much less two. 
And he couldn’t stop flapping his arms
This was not the start of best date for two.

Frank loved Chara,
And Chara loved Frank
And Chara smiled
And Chara clapped
And she knocked on the door 
Waiting for Frank to open. 

But Frank was upstairs,
Locked in his room
Flapping his arms
Frank had quacked up
This was not Frank’s day. 
But Chara she just stayed. 

Chara was coming
Chara was coming for dinner
And Frank was flapping his arms upstairs
And there was not much they could do
Except have the worst start of a date for two. 

Frank loved Chara
And Chara loved Frank.

Frank Loved Chara

I Know You're A Monster

She’s an Alien
Song and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Verse 1

It’s been over a day,
She doesn’t laugh, she doesn’t play,
She sits still, she looks away,
She transmits to my thoughts, she enslaves my brain. 

Chorus

She’s an alien,
She’s possessed by an alien,
She doesn’t cook, she doesn’t clean,
She’s an alien...from Mars. 

Verse 2
It’s been over a week,
She doesn’t move, she doesn’t blink,
The whole place is starting to stink,
She’s got me on the edge, she’s making me think. 

Chorus

She’s an alien,
She’s possessed by an alien,
She doesn’t cook, she doesn’t clean,
She’s an alien...from Mars. 

Verse 3

It’s been over a year,
She doesn’t stir, she doesn’t hear,
Her skin turned blue and now it’s clear,
She’s never going to do my laundry, she’s never gonna cook my meals. 

Chorus

She’s an alien,
She’s possessed by an alien,
She doesn’t cook, she doesn’t clean,
She’s an alien...from Mars. 

Bridge

But Andromeda
It’s not a strain
To think it’s this
But then again 
It could simply be
Kepler-452b!

TALK TO JESUS
music and lyrics by Mike Krath

I need someone to talk to,
Someone who hears what I say
Someone who listens when I speak
But who, who?


Not my mother,
She’s too busy,
Not my friends,
Only think of themselves
Not my cat,
She’s too lazy,
Not my father,
He is never around. 

Who, who do I go to?
Who, who do I go to?
Who, who do I go to?


Not my priest
He’s not a believer,
Not my brother,
He’s not always there,
Not my dog,
He doesn’t come when I call him,
Not my stylist,
He doesn’t know how to cut hair


Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down
Need to lay down,
My soul. 

Lay it all down
Lay my soul down. 
Need to lay it all down
But who?
Who do I talk to?
8 billion people in this world
No one to talk to?
No one?
But…


Not my teacher,
He’s too academic
Not my sister,
She’s never off her phone,
Not my counselor 
He doesn’t know my name,
Not my coach
He never lets me play


Oh God,
Who do I call?
Who do I call
When no one listens?

I don’t want my life
To be a high school improv
A high school improv that 
Ends in (sound of gunfire)

Listen
Listen when I call
Who started this mess?
I didn’t ask to be here
I didn’t ask to be born

Give me someone to listen
Give me someone who understands me. 

Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay my soul down. 
Lay it…

Talk To Jesus

Bullet in My Gun
Lyrics and Music by Mike Krath

The toke I take can’t fill my hollow feeling
No matter how strong I hold it against my lungs,
The emptiness endures. 
But I laugh it off
Ha ha,
I can’t help it,
I’ve turned my emptiness into joy,
The gun by my pillow a joke
I lift it up and stare into its barrel
I smile at the bullet with my name. 
Ha ha. 

I fall to my knees,
I ask for pain,
I want trials
For a life of gain,
Bring down pain,
on bended knees
The tokes I take can’t fill
my parched soul,
Bring down pain
quench this thirsty soul

I’m tired of drugs that fry my brain,
Give me a wife to keep me sane.
And children that look up 
And call my name,
Free me with pain,
with strokes of pain,

Ohhh. Oh. I want to live again,
I want to live again
Just live again,
Please,
I just want to live
Again…

On my knees
With an empty bottle of pills,
I look under my bed for one last thrill,
I find one in the corner and pop it in my till
I fly upright,
face the window
Everything is out of sight
The birds outside are singing out my name,
The plants in my window are doing the same
And the bullet in my gun is rejoicing in its aim,
I’m turning normal now
I’m feeling normal now,
Everything is normal now,
It’s going to be a happy day. 
Hap-hap-happy, hap-hap-happy

It’s going to be a happy day.

Nearly like a Virgin

New Haggard Ass Intro

WITHOUT YOU expresses an intense dependence on someone who feels irreplaceable, portraying love as both a lifeline and an obsession. It captures the struggle of trying to move on while being constantly pulled back by memories and emotions that refuse to fade. The lyrics reveal vulnerability, longing, and the inability to imagine life without that person, framing them as the center of existence. It’s a powerful declaration of love’s grip, where absence feels unbearable and presence defines identity.

LYRIC

Verse

Every day I wake, I still hear your name
Like a song stuck deep in my veins
Tried to move, tried to play it cool
But I’m falling hard, like a reckless fool

Pre-Chorus

You’re the reason that I lose my ground
When you’re not near, I spin around
Don’t tell me it’s just a phase
I’m caught in your magnetic haze

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Verse

Every room I walk through feels too wide
You were the pulse that fit inside
No map can guide me from your trace
I still see your face in every place

Pre-Chorus

Told myself I’d be just fine
But you’re the frame to my broken line
You’re the spark that lights my fire
The only name I still desire

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Bridge

I’ve tried to rewrite all our lines
But every word still leads me back in time
You’re the rhythm I can’t replace
Still feel your hand, still see your face

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the beat that never ends
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you
No, I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Without You

Lilac in the Desert

[Verse 1]
This age has melted me down
but left my breath behind—
youth did not kill me
yet its death stayed inside

Lilac I drifted far
shadow on a page of sky—
if love had its time
why did it wait to arrive

[Pre-Chorus]
I carried sparks in the soil
cried to the heavens above—
Every wound in my palm
was a prayer was a love

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Verse 2]
I would not speak too soon
my tongue rusted with grief—
the chance of mistakes
the inheritance of belief
Adam's fate was in me
trembling body set alight
thousands of sparks
plunged deep into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
I drank the cloud's essence
without breaking its skin—
Sweat and questions poured
where has it carried man in

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Bridge]
There is a fountain soiled and scarred
my reflection in my hand
I said 'it doesn't matter'
yet I was searching for a stand

The city's fire still burning
its wound still speaks in me
I walked on face bent forward
toward a summer I can't see

[Final Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
I walk and still I came

[Outro]
Lilac oh lilac
I walk on

Lilac in the Desert

CALOR

We met that day.
Through the storms we
laughed like crazy
You're the steady hand when I lose
my way
The glue that mends the cracks
of my soul


We built our world
From the smallest things
Jokes and hidden dreams that grew
Together with us.
When life throws stones
we roll them.


When the stars go out
we still shine bright
Together we are a beacon in
the darkest night


There's no need for mirrors when
you're by my side
Reflect the truth that I
sometimes hide
An unspoken but strong bond
Every laugh is a treasure
Every hug is a cure


We're not just friends
Through scarred skies
and burning fires
We'll always return to each other


When the stars go out we
still shine bright
Together we are a beacon in
the darkest night
And slowly we find ourselves in the morning

With the dew on the flowers

Still Surfing

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
