I got dressed up for Halloween
You got scared, and I got mean
Now you don’t know what to believe

If once a year I put the mask on
Would you still come home with me?
If once a year I am your demon
Would you stay with me?

I played a trick 
I laid it on thick
Now your a mess
Just like the rest
Think we both know
How this ends

If once a year I put the mask on
Would you still come home with me
If once a year I am a demon

Then you’re a ghost
And I’m afraid
That I won’t ever see you again
We both know
That I can change
But that don’t mean I won’t change right back
If you’re a ghost
Then I’m afraid
Cause I can see straight through to
The other side and it scares me to death 

I swear it’s not me
It’s just a mask
It’s just an apparition
I swear that’s not me
It's someone else
It's just your superstition

If once a year I take the mask off
Should you still come home to me
If once a year I am your demon

Then you’re a ghost
And I’m afraid
That I won’t ever see you again
Now you’re a ghost
Then I’m afraid
Cause I can see straight through you
The other side is calling baby
I don’t know what you’ll find
Just close your eyes and pray then maybe
We’ll make it through the night
If you’re a ghost
Then I’m afraid
If you’re a ghost 
then I’m afraid
If you’re a ghost
Then I’m afraid
Cause I can see straight through to
The other side and it scares me to death

If You're A Ghost

You’re on your own
There’s nowhere else to go
Can’t hide behind that face
I know what’s underneath
The endless void
It calls out to you and me
There’s nothing left to say

You’re on your own
So don’t be shy
Just turn off the lights
There’s no one home 
So sing as loud as you want to

Just you and me
Lying on the floor
Bodies to explore
Desire to relieve
I know we're close
But there’s no finishing
We stare over the edge

You’re on your one
But don’t you cry
You’re gonna be fine
There’s no one home
So scream as loud want to

If you want to
You can stay up all night long
If you want 
You can wake up, but maybe you won’t

You’re on your own 
But don’t you be afraid
It’s never what you think
It’s all you’ll ever know
The endless void
It calls out to you and me
There’s nothing left to say

Goodbye Stranger (Supertramp Cover)

I'm doing just fine without your love
Praying how I want. Sleeping in this Sunday morning
Yeah, I'm doing just fine here on my own
'Cause I don't need no one to wake me up

My whole life cut to pieces. 9 to 5s. Unholy weekends
So resigned. Making time for anyone but me
So I broke my back trying to lift you up
'Cause you're not high enough 
I broke my back trying to lift you up
Crushed under your wisdom

But I'm doing just fine without your love
Working how I want. Sleeping in this Sunday morning
Yeah, I'm doing just fine here on my own
'Cause I don't need no one to wake me up
Don't Wake Me Up

I'm dreaming about you, but I can't see your face
I'm dreaming about you. A thousand times I walked away
There's something about you I cannot explain
There's something about you that keeps me coming home

I broke my back trying to lift you up
'Cause you're not high enough 
I broke my back trying to lift you up
Crushed under your deamons

Now I'm doing just fine without your love
Living how I want. Sleeping in this Sunday morning
Yeah, I'm doing just fine here on my own
'Cause I don't need no one to wake me up
Don't Wake Me Up

Don't Wake Me Up

Too many masterpieces. I think you must be dreaming
The world got wasted on you. So I got wasted on the moon
I hope you feel your feelings. I hope you face your demons
I hope you know what you did. It's already forgiven
Ten thousand unpaid hours. Ten thousand two-faced miles
Practice in Colin's basement. Oblivious replacements
Don't have the strength to face this. Don't have the guts to tell the truth
Never on time for practice. Never on time for anything
Too many masterpieces. I think you must be dreaming
I think you must be dreaming

Wasted On The Moon

You waited ’til October
To show off your true colors
Rose red, golden, and green
Next spring I’ll bring you flowers
Those white chrysanthemums
We both know what that means

But what’s so scary about a change of season?
I don’t expect nothing to last forever
One step more to go before you fall asleep for good

No more morning. No more light
Son, it’s going down so
Light this candle. Close your eyes
I wonder if you’ll see the afterlife
It must be so exhausting
Trying to keep this from me
Some secrets we’re meant say
But this one goes with me to the grave

What’s so scary bout a change of seasons
I don’t expect no one to live forever
One step more to go before you fall asleep for good
I try to tell myself to make my peace with 
All the shit you’ve done
Because you’ve been running your entire life
And so have I 
But now you’ve reached the end
It’s time to say goodbye

No more mourning. No more lies
Everything got quiet
Listen close and close your eyes
I wonder if we’ll see the afterlife
It must be so exhausting
Trying to keep this from me
Some secrets we’re meant save
So this one goes with me to the grave

You waited ’til October
To show off your true colors
Rose red, golden, and green

Afterlife

Here's a track from Signal-to-Noise's debut album 'I Won't Let the World Become a Prison':

Night Owl

Watch as I absorb hundreds of lives
Too many doors to look behind
Stalk, research, and shop all through the night
Always awake, always alive

With digital eyes
'Cause your life's been simplified
Turned into bits and modernized

Watch as I inform and organize
Watch as I resort to borderline thoughts
Stalk, research, and shop: a normal night
Eyes bloodshot and wide. A real night owl

With digital eyes
'Cause your life's been compromised 
Turned into bits and monetized

We all take the bait, trade our souls for a digital/cortical lie

Give 'em back to me

Night Owl

Here's a third preview of Signal-to-Noise's debut album 'I Won't Let the World Become a Prison' Grab a free mp3 download at http://findyoursignal.com/

Sunless weather, barricaded sky
Numbing pressure keeping us inside
Like the planet's tourniquet
Holding back a hemorrhage 

Winter weather, paint the rooftops white
Tired fever furnaces ignite
Like an airborne ambien
Putting us to sleep again

Caroline don't worry. Time is medicine
And I'm taking it

If the sun stays buried every day
She's only saying to embrace the grey
This time alone it's therapeutic
Thoughts are running visions to create

Realize your suffering
Is the dose to end your pain

There's no greater seraph to all than Avenall
There's no danger. No fear at all with Avenall

He's says we all got orders and mouths to feed
So take a drink every night
But if you want to start over we can make a deal
I'll trade a dream for your life

So play sober and take a moment to make up your mind. 
The center's design is much older than a canon to keep us in line

And it says we all got orders and mouths to feed
So take a drink every night
But if you want to start over we can make a deal
I'll trade a dream for your life

Avenall. I'm starting to worry you you're unreal
Avenall. I'm starting to worry you you're fading away
And I know you don't want to wait. 
Yes I know you don't want to wait
So take me once and for all

Avenall

Just an old house on a odd street in a neighborhood 
Just a cold pipe in the basement. Wouldn't take look
Just a broken set of speakers. Something out of place
Just a candle burning slowly near a picture frame
Just a shadow. Just the AC. You're just paranoid
Now don't worry what it might be. It's just understood 

That all we're told is all there is

So don't get careless. It's a deamon. Not a game of cards
Always restless. Always eager to inherit scars
Just an old house on a odd street. Don't go in the woods
Just a cold pipe in the basement. Wouldn't take look

There's no way out. There is no place to go
So what's the harm in taking a look

You're taking the road down to all that you can't return
You're taking the road down to all that you can't return
Instead of avoiding your daemons you feed the worst
Instead of avoiding your daemons you pray for more


All We're Told

I got a nine-to-five to put me on the clock again
I got a car to drive, important meetings to attend
A bottle out of sight. Yeah everything is just alright
There's riots in the streets, but they don't bother me

I got a restless mind that only sees what might have been
I got walk-in closet full of nettled skeletons 
They'll never come to light but always keep me up at night
And when I fall asleep they rattle up the world that I dream

There's something in my head too dark to see 

There must be more to life than waiting for the day to end
So how about tonight we take a moment to pretend
That all the world is but a virtual experience
Just something to believe until we die and become everything

It’s turning purple and I'm too far gone to comprehend
The subtle way the world becomes whatever what we intend
Now all these tapes and books they've got me on my back again
And when I fall asleep they redefine the world as I dream

There's something in my head too dark to see

What does and what don't kill me can only take me to the light
What hurts can only heal me. What does emotion signify?

That all your life's a moment in disguise and all your life’s avail to realize

Take me to the water for a drink 
I lost sight of the river. Now I can't seem to recall anything
Can't stay awake. Won't sleep a wink
Like a ship in a bottle Never to embark. Never to sink

Just a model to behold trying hard to break the bottle

Take me to the fire for the heat
I'm not trying to shiver. That's just my body's dying to release
All of this frozen energy
I'm like a mime in a novel. Never to be heard. Never to speak
It seems 

I'm just a model to behold, trying hard to change my world
But I was born inside a bottle, and now I live to be observed

Too tall to slip into the sea
Too many scriptures to believe
Too tall to even take a drink
Too many superstitions
Too many bottles left to break
To save 

This old model to behold, trying hard to change my world
But I was born inside a bottle, and now I live to be observed

Hundreds of miles over the sea a secret satellite
Covers the earth in radio stream of urgent appetite
Capitalized hyperbole is falling from the sky. Belief

So give us a smile. Look up from the screen that pulled us from the light
We’re broken and wired to buy everything that makes us feel alive
We’re cast over the fire, dragged up from the sea
The ever and the always was pulverized then born and raised

To be the one who’s always on the line
With selfish thoughts and wrongs for setting right
To pay no mind our true identity 
Until we all decide to be released

Until We All Decide To Be Released

'Numbers' from Signal-to-Noise's sophomore album Land of Nod (release date 11/21/2017)

Seven numbers makes a line to connect two weary minds
Four will get you to bank. Tell a card to fill your tank
Let's hit the road. There's only so much I can take
It doesn't show but I'm resolved to count the days

Numbers occupy my mind. I carry with me all the time
When to wake and when to rest. How long until this evening ends
I've got to go.There's only so much I can take
It doesn't show but I'm resolved to count the days

Old Abel, nice to meet you
I've got a plan that'll make us rich
Old Abel, nice to meet you
Just take my hand and punch it in
It's only gold

Let's hit the road. There's only so much I can take
It doesn't show but I'm resolved to count the days
Until an age takes me away, a final number we engrave
To be erased

Numbers

Go stoned into the forest Breath, sit, and be the onyx
Go stoned into the silence Breath free and feel the island soar
There’s dogged fire running through the streets
But if it burns away would you stay, would you stay with me? I got synthetic eyes and a plant that’ll make you see Through the alluring flames of a red economy
If I call on you the lie
Would you stay? Would you stay with me? If I call on you the lie
Another day. Get your feet up on the floor Gotta earn that little wage. Got a lifetime to ignore
If I call you on the lie
Would you stay? Would you stay with me? If I call you on the lie..

Ivan wrote to tell me that he bought a book
Something old he found in a convenience store 
And as my aged acquaintance waded through the words
I felt this strange sensation, as though I'd somehow heard 'em before

But summer sinks into the fluid sedative of fall
And winter dreams of all the other elements in store
Now as the spring begins I'm lying on the floor
Ivan's heroin is turning me to lore 

Feel the spores. Watch the trees. Turn the page and fall apart at the seams
Feel the cold change the leaves. They come alive and fall away like a dream

Ivan's book it says to me
I will protect your memory
As long as I know how to read
I will protect your memory

I Will Protect Your Memory

A minute away from married life
Living afraid to be alive
You got a little ways to go, and just another embryo 
You're a minute away, so take your time

Born into the world without a name
You settle for a girl and the pain that pays
The son of anesthesia looking for an easy love
Born into the world to make a name

It's just the way it goes. We fall in place
Buy designer clothes to procreate
It's just the way it goes. We take the bait
Turn a miracle into a a race straight to the grave

A minute away from last goodbyes
Dying afraid to end your life   
You're giving up a settlement. A coveted inheritance
Your minutes away. So say goodbye

It’s just the way it goes

Minute Away

Goodbye Stranger is Out Now!
