Lyrics:

Everyday's a constant battle 
Everything you say is numb. 
I'd rather ignore it, and keep on going 
If only I had the strength 

Pushing on and on 
The days must still go on 

I'm not perfect 
But neither are you 
I couldn't care less if you ever knew 

My skies are dark and squalling 
with your head in the clouds 
you won't see me falling 

You're on cloud nine 
but you think you're divine 
You're so broken, but you won't take the time 

Stuck on cloud nine, 
You won't see me make it 
The things you care for 
You just break them 

I gonna be everything I want 
I hope you aren't there to see 
My success because I know 
that you're going to feed off of it 

Pushing on and on 
The days must still go on 

I'm not perfect 
But neither are you 
I couldn't care less if you ever knew 

My skies are dark and squalling 
with your head in the clouds 
you won't see me falling 

You're on cloud nine 
but you think you're divine 
You're so broken, but you won't take the time 

Stuck on cloud nine, 
You won't see me make it 
The things you care for 
You just break them 

I'm not perfect 
But neither are you 
I couldn't care less if you ever knew 

My skies are dark and squalling 
with your head in the clouds 
you won't see me falling 

Stuck on cloud nine 
but you think you're divine 
You're so broken, but you won't take the time 

Stuck on cloud nine, 
You won't see me make it 
The things you care for 
You just break them

A cover of "Primadonna" by Marina & The Diamonds from the 2012 album, "Electra Heart".

Primadonna (Marina & The Diamonds Cover)

I find it hard to believe 
That you'd want anything from me 
In fact, I know that you don't 
Cuz' if you did, then you would show 

There's been nothing in my life 
That's ever filled this void in time 
Smiling and pain seem to be my only crimes 

And I'd love it if you'd talk to me 
Or just give me a sign 
I'll be alright 
There's always a light 

I lie awake 
Lost and confused 
You'd be shocked if you felt used like I do 
I'm not alone 
Yet far apart we've always grown 

There's been nothing in my life 
That's ever filled this void in time 
Smiling and pain seem to be my only crimes 

And I'd love it if you'd talk to me 
Or just give me a sign 
I'll be alright 
There's always a light 

And I'd love it if you'd talk to me 
Or just give me a sign 
I'll be alright 
There's always a light 

We've walked so far from where we're from 
Time could change, but I let it fly 
My world begins to die 
But I can't find this shared ride to the other side 
There's too much in the mind 
To stop, recline and unwind 

There's been nothing in my life 
That's ever filled this void in time 
Smiling and pain seem to be my only crimes 

And I'd love it if you'd talk to me 
Or just give me a sign 
I'll be alright 
There's always a light 

There's been nothing in my life 
That's ever filled this void in time 
Smiling and pain seem to be my only crimes 

And I'd love it if you'd talk to me 
Or just give me a sign 
I'll be alright 
There's always a light 

And I'd love it if you'd talk to me 
Or just give me a sign 
I'll be alright 

I'll be alright

Lyrics:

A budding bloom will tower high
Care to reach and touch the sky?
Full of life beyond compare
The greatest roots will hold her there

She wants to fall, but cannot wilt
Her petals shine and begin to tilt
So proud, she'll stand next to the land
And if your leaves turn brown
I'll lift you when you're down

Cuz' she is strong and she is great
The flowers around her bend and break
She is bold, and the wind may shake
But she won't take it anymore

Oh, Lily
Lily
Oh, Lily
Lily

Now gaze upon the clearest stars
Don't let go, please dream afar
Because you won't know unless you go
You have to show how far you've grown

Cuz' you are strong and you are great
The flowers around you bend and break
You are bold, and the wind may shake
But you won't take it anymore

Oh, Lily
Lily
Oh, Lily
Lily

You are kind and you are smart
The only one with a platinum heart
A peaceful soul, misunderstood
Forgiving everyone like you could

Oh, Lily
Lily
Oh, Lily
Lily

Lily

Lyrics:

Hazel eyes
Please hold me tight
Hide me from the light
And keep me safe throughout the night

Clicking pieces like a puzzle
Falling breath from your nose
Were dazed in freedom
Comatose

We’ll linger on these fever dreams
Bursting out like laser beams

So tell me, what’s your world like in black and white?
I can see your colors from across the room.
I do, oh, I do

And if you only knew this way I feel about you…
I love you, and I hope that you do too.

Sergeant green, what’s on your mind?
Could tell me you’re alright?
Cuz I know we do this all the time…
But down inside I’m still a child
Solely meek and mild
So give me time I’ll show you I can shine again.

Cause when I look at you I freeze.
I wanna be there when you say you want to stay with me.
 
So tell me, what’s your world like in orange and blue?
I can see your colors from across the room.
I do, oh, I do

And if you only knew this way I feel about you.
I love you and I hope that you do too.

So tell me, what’s your world like in full spectrum view?
I can see the colors from across the room
I do, oh, I do.

And if you only knew this way I feel about you.
I love you and I hope that you do too.

Technicolor [Album Version]

I revisited a track from BHXXII to test some new mastering technology. Gave the glitchy edge and intense witch house/goth electro it was supposed to have. This song was heavily inspired by Crystal Castles and Grimes. The lyrics were poorly recorded so I couldn't adjust them cleanly. Maybe I'll put it on my upcoming album, or maybe it'll lay here to rest once and for all.

Living Saturn

Living Saturn (Revisited Instrumental)

Remaster of "Smoke" from the album BHXXII.
Still playing with new mastering equipment, and redid this gem. This one has the lyrics.

Live your life in delirium 
I would know, but you don't so... 
Everyday could be wonderful, 
but it's the same, and you're to blame. 

Live your life inside of a game 
Do what you do, but you're full of shame 
You say what you think, but it's not very nice 
My heart's on my sleeve, but you'll stab at it twice. 

I know I'm not on my own. 

I am not up in flames, but I am lost smoke. 
You say all the things you say, but you think I'm just a fucking joke. 
So be careful with what you say because I will choose to walk away. 

I am not up in flames, 
I am lost in smoke. 

Your foul mouth drools with arrogance, 
but you just wait 
You'll see your fate. 

Live your life inside of a game 
Do what you do, but you're full of shame 
You say what you think, but it's not very nice 
My heart's on my sleeve, but you'll stab at it twice. 

I know I'm not on my own. 

I am not up in flames, but I am lost smoke. 
You say all the things you say, but you think I'm just a fucking joke. 
So be careful with what you say because I will choose to walk away. 

I am not up in flames, 
I am lost in smoke.
