I CAN NOT BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE...BABY
I CAN NOT DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO...BABY
I COULD NEVER WALK THROUGH FIRE FOR YOU
I COULD NEVER DO THE THINGS YOU ASK ME TO
I AIN’T NO MUNTER, MORON, HUH
I AIN’T NOTHIN’ LIKE YOU

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK, THE WAY I TALK,
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH
THOUGH YOU ARE HAVING FUN NOW
I WILL ESCAPE YOU SOMEHOW

DON’T TRY TO MAKE EXCUSES
DON’T COME IT WITH THOSE LIES
YOU ALWAYS WERE ABUSIVE
BUT NEVER TOLD ME WHY

MY MEMORY IS HAZY
MY THOUGHTS A DEEPER BLUE
MY DIAGNOSIS, CRAZY,
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
>
THOSE MANIC MOMENTS PHASED ME
THE AIR WAS TURNING BLUE
ATTEMPTING TO ERASE ME
WITH THE CHINA THAT YOU THREW

I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
FOR ALL ETERNITY CONFINED TO MY BED
I’LL KILL YOUR MEMORY, AND SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

NOW I SLEEP WITH THE DEAD
I SLEEP WITH THE DEAD
I SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME

I WOULDN’T IF YOU PAID
YOU’RE NOT THE CHOSEN FEW
REMIND ME OF A BABY
ONE WEEK BEFORE IT’S DUE

YOU PROVE THAT EVERY NIGHTMARE
EVENTUALLY COMES TRUE

PARANOIA by NOVA J

Paranoia, paranoia… (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone’s gonna take what’s mine… (what’s mine, what’s mine)
Paranoia, paranoia… (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone sneaking up behind… (behind, behind)

Sunset on the beach (beach)
Peace is out of reach (reach)
Paranoia sapping joy and
Inner voices screech (screech)

They whisper in my ear
The sound is crystal clear
Terrified of rising tides
And drowning in my fear (fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear)

Paranoia, paranoia (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone’s gonna take what’s mine (what’s mine, what’s mine)
Paranoia, paranoia (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone sneaking up behind (behind, behind)

Paranoia… (paranoia)… paranoia…
can’t escape… (can’t escape)… can’t escape… 
Paranoia… (paranoia)… paranoia…
it’s my fate … (it’s my fate)… it’s my fate… 

Steppin’ in the sand (sand)
I can’t see the man (man)
Every stranger looks like danger
Blood stains on my hand (hand)

They whisper in my ear
The sound is crystal clear
I’m looking all around
But nobody is here (here here here here here here here here)

Paranoia, paranoia (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone’s gonna take what’s mine (what’s mine, what’s mine)
Paranoia, paranoia (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone sneaking up behind (behind, behind)

Paranoid… (paranoid)… paranoid…
can’t escape… (can’t escape)… can’t escape… 
Paranoid… (paranoid)… paranoid…
it’s my fate … (it’s my fate)… it’s my fate… 

Ahhhh La Lie

I see my fear in stranger’s faces
Scream your name in quiet places 
Every choice is laced with doubt (doubt doubt)
My own voice can’t drown it out

Paranoia, paranoia (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone’s gonna take what’s mine (what’s mine, what’s mine)
Paranoia, paranoia (paranoia, paranoia)
Someone sneaking up behind (behind, behind)

Paranoia… paranoia… paranoia…
can’t escape… can’t escape… can’t escape… 
Paranoia… paranoia… paranoia…
it’s my fate … it’s my fate… it’s my fate… 
Paranoia… paranoia… paranoia…

PARANOIA

A poem about depression by Bones the Poet adapted by Hayden Kelly and set to music by Whitman Rinaldo

Music by Whitman Rinaldo
Lyrics by Bones The Poet
Vocal, Production and Melody  by Tracy Hayden

Cellular drift,
Over magnetic fields,
High-tension wires,
I can't feel it anymore.
Cellular drift,
In a spaceship,
Concrete over cliffs,
I can't taste it anymore.
Cellular drift,
My mind's on slip,
Backstepping my way to a future which doesn't exist

Prehistoric trees,
Capsule record sound machine,
Keep it running, let it stream,
Sun
nuclear
sets,
humans dream.
Cellular Drift,
I can't taste it anymore.
Cellular drift,

Cellular Drift

Fragile Heart

Tucked away behind the valley and Sunset boulevard across from where i live there's a lovely burbling stream that flows down hill from the only waterfall on Saturna Island. On quiet evenings i can hear it, even though it's some 500 meters from my front porch.  It tells all sorts of stories and to my ears it's musical.

I hear cycles within cycles in the flow of streams, even as i hear them in 
Improvisation. The subtle perturbations and inflections move ceaselessly, expand and disappear. When one really listens, it tells stories of it's journeys even as it soothes the soul.

And likewise, here's another one that illio & i heard whilst improving recently.

May you enJoy.
