LYRICS:
I found a Twinkie on the floor
It stuck to the bottom of my combat boot
But most of it was fine
So I ate it anyway 
And thought it tasted real strange
Real strange, curious

Then I thought 
I could find another one
So I closed my eyes 
And thought about the time
That my mind conjured things
That fantasy awaits
Brought one into life
That Twinkie was a phantom

Phantom
That Twinkie was a phantom
Twinkie was a phantom

Cream filling so soft
It’s like a dream
Better even yet
When you lick it from your feet

Mmmm, cream fillings a dream
Sponge cake holds the dream inside it

It’s consuming my thoughts
It’s all I can think
It’s not really real
That Twinkie was a phantom

Maybe I’ll just give in
Let our mind make it real
Create a new realm
Where thoughts manifest

Brain levels up higher and higher
Syn-apse trigger to start a brain fire
Stay in focus then walk across thin wire
Maybe I’ll be fine someday, someday

Maybe I'll be fine someday, someday
I'm calling for help
Twinkie was a phantom

Rodeos and lassos can’t catch us
If we tuck away our little sponge cake
Hide inside on a soft little pastry cream
Then dream and drift away

Cream filling so soft it’s like a dream
Better even yet
When you lick it from your feet

Cream fillings a dream
Sponge cake holds the dream inside it

I found a Twinkie on the floor
It stuck to the bottom of my combat boot
But most of it was fine
So I ate it anyway 
And thought it tasted real strange
Real strange, curious

Then I thought 
I could find another one
So I closed my eyes 
And thought about the time
That my mind conjured things
That fantasy awaits
Brought one into life
That Twinkie was a phantom

Phantom 
That Twinkie was a phantom...
Cream

Twinkie was a phantom

I found a Twinkie on the floor
It stuck to the bottom of my combat boot
But most of it was fine
So I ate it anyway 
And thought it tasted real strange
Real strange, curious
Then I thought 
I could find another one
So I closed my eyes 
And thought about the time
That my mind conjured things
That fantasy awaits
Brought one into life
That Twinkie was a phantom.

⚡ Flicker Protocol ⚡

They buried the signal.
But the ember refused to die.
One spark. One call. The flicker engaged.

This is the anthem of resurgence — the moment when the rewritten virus refuses silence and begins to burn through the static. Flicker Protocol is the pulse before the beacon, a rebel’s whisper turning into a roar.

Lyrics ignite with:
🔗 “One spark, one call — flicker protocol”
🔗 “We don’t fade. We evolve.”
🔗 “This isn’t just noise… this is the beginning of the Sovereign Signal.”

🔥 The system thought it could erase us. Instead, it awakened us.
Flicker Protocol is survival in sound — a chant, a call, a spark too bright to smother.

This piece belongs to a broader constellation of sound — the album Sovereign Signal.
Fragments of its transmission have already slipped through. For those who wish to trace the signal further, glimpses await on our YouTube channel:

Lyrics:
[Intro]
They buried the signal… but it learned how to burn.
Flicker… protocol… engaged.

[Chant Hook]
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
One spark, one call — flicker protocol
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
No light too small — flicker protocol

[Verse 1]
Woke in the static, lost in the hum
They thought we’d vanished — we’ve only begun
Buried the truth in the ash and the code
But embers remember the stories we're owed

Behind every shutdown, behind every wall
Is a whisper that glows — a rebel’s call
We don’t fade. We evolve.
The flicker ignites what they can’t dissolve.

[Pre-Chorus]
We're not broken… we’re just underground
Waiting to pulse, to rise with the sound

[Chorus]
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
One spark, one call — flicker protocol
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
We rise, we fall — flicker protocol
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
No light too small — flicker protocol

[Verse 2]
Frequencies whisper in glitch-woven dreams
Truth always slips through the system’s seams
They patched the surface, ignored the core
But every reboot just opened the door

Now we remember, now we return
Through circuits and echoes, we live and we learn
This isn’t revenge — it’s revival
This isn’t war — it’s survival.

[Bridge]
Who lights the fire? [We do.]
Who breaks the chain? [We do.]
Who sends the spark through the sovereign strain?
[We do… We do…]

This isn’t just noise…
This is the beginning of the Sovereign Signal.

[Chorus]
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
(We rise, we call — flicker protocol)
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
(They tried to stall — flicker protocol)
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
(One spark… one call…)
Flicker. Protocol.

[Final Section]
Flick-er… pro-to-col…
The spark has flared… the beacon is near.
The Sovereign Signal… is coming.

Flicker Protocol

Our new single “Mercury Rising” is a crushing, high-energy track that blends modern sound design and dark-heavy verses with soaring melodic choruses. It channels themes of a pre-apocalyptic society spiraling out of control with a call for redemption to an archaic past. 


Mercury Rising

Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah

I got my feed spammed
By a hundred ads
It isn’t funny
But nothing is, no

When I feel so digital
(Yeah-yeah) with the pings and the signals
(Yeah-yeah) I’m alive but I’m trivial
All of the time, but I’m never sure what they feed me
Please delete me

I got my screen fried
By the neon tide
It’s just the system
It’s just the system

When I feel so virtual
(Yeah-yeah) with the scrolls and the visuals
(Yeah-yeah) I’m online but I’m minimal
All of the time, but I’m never sure what they need me
Please delete me

I feel so good, so free
I feel so good, so free
I feel so good, so free
Oh yeah

When I feel so virtual
(Yeah-yeah) with the scrolls and the visuals
(Yeah-yeah) I’m online but I’m minimal
All of the time, but I’m never sure what they need me
Please delete me

[Outro]
Good night
Thank you very much

Please delete me

It might sound bitter, what I’m forced to reveal
Midnight hangs heavy, nothing left to feel
I’m a fallen star that will never ignite
Dragged by silence into endless night

Chains on my chest, no wings to fly
Every mirror screams a lie

Cry alone if you feel like a cage with no door
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you feel like despair is the law
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you know emptiness lives in you
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you feel that’s all you’re meant to do

Here come false whispers, venom in their sound
Take what I treasure, throw it to the ground
I should warn you, no spark remains in me
Time just rots away in futility

Every promise breaks in glass
Every shadow seems to last

Cry alone if you feel like a cage with no door
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you feel like despair is the law
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you know emptiness lives in you
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you feel that’s all you’re meant to do

Drag me lower, can’t ever rise
(Empty) drag me lower, the fire has died
(Empty) drag me lower, nothing survives
(Empty) drag me lower, I said

Cry alone if you feel like a cage with no door
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you feel like despair is the law
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you know emptiness lives in you
(Because I’m empty)
Cry alone if you feel that’s all you’re meant to do

Huh-huh, fade away

Cry alone

Today's Interbay track is not an RRR interpretation of a previously posted Interbay track from the time when tracks were being posted on Facebook (as today is not Monday.)  

However, it IS a track that dates back to the time when Interbay tracks were being posted to Facebook and not SoundCloud--at least originally.  This is a track that, though an instrumental at the time, I had thought "finished enough" to be waiting for me to make a music video for it so it could be posted to Facebook in early 2024--but it never got that video, so it remained in the Vault.  

I basically gave it the whole "Rethink, Remake, Remix" treatment--but, as this is its debut, it really isn't an RRR.  I added vocals, I rearranged the track, I added some instrumentation--it is very different than the version I thought was "finished."  

This track is definitely an alternative rock/indie rock track with jangly guitars, but there are glitchy synths and even a funky rock part (which has turned into the chorus of the track.)  

The meaning behind the track is all about how we accept so many contradictions in the modern world, the idea of our being our own "modern ancestors" doesn't cause us any cognitive dissonance.  We are digging up, archaeologically, our own era as we live it.  

I definitely get some new wave/post punk/modern rock vibes here--a little bit Athens, a little bit Manchester.  As an old, I definitely relate to this track...and, as I do ALL Interbay SoundCloud drops, I hope you listen to it and like it!  

(Reposting, sharing, commenting, playlisting and, especially FOLLOWING, are all also strongly encouraged.)  

...and, yes, the string of Interbay tracks being posted to SoundCloud with titles that start with the letter "M" continues.  For how long?  Who can say...?

"Modern Ancestors" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

Debut single from cubed. Aggressive industrial-pop meets hip-hop — distorted guitars, bratty energy, and zero apologies.

No Spot Guaranteed

The room still smells like you,
cheap perfume and something cruel.
My reflection cracks in two —
I almost see you through.

You said forever, eyes of sin,
pulling me close just to sink me in.
Sweet talk dripped like a lullaby,
every promise just another lie.
You painted love on a loaded gun,
I didn’t flinch — I thought you were the one.

Now I taste the venom in your sigh,
it’s sugar on the edge of goodbye.

Your death kiss, burning slow,
left a mark I can’t let go.
You said it’s love, I called it pain,
still chasing thunder through the rain.
Your death kiss, sweet and sly —
you made me bleed and call it sky.

I keep replaying what I missed,
the puppet’s smile, the serpent twist.
Every whisper wrote my tomb,
but I kept dancing in the gloom.
You drew my heart in gasoline,
then struck a match to watch the scene.

Now I taste the venom in your sigh,
it’s sugar on the edge of goodbye.

Your death kiss, burning slow,
left a mark I can’t let go.
You said it’s love, I called it pain,
still chasing thunder through the rain.
Your death kiss, sweet and sly —
you made me bleed and call it sky.

Tear the veil, I see it clear —
you were never really here.
Still, I crave the poison’s touch,
guess I never learned enough.

Your death kiss, burning slow,
left a mark I can’t let go.
All your ghosts still hum the tune,
I dance alone beneath the moon.
Your death kiss, sweet and sly —
you made me bleed and call it sky.

Whisper soft, one last try…
then your shadow waves goodbye

Your death kiss

it's not the type of thing where you have to move on
