lyrics

The sense of paranoia,
That rooted me to the spot,
Was torn down with such anger,
That I totally lost the plot.
I hid in plain view watching,
Just to see what they would do.

I walked the streets past midnight, 
And started howling at the moon.
I rolled myself a cigarette, 
On the park bench by the lake.
I tried to stem the tears,
As my mind began to break.

I revel in sob stories,
And most of mine are true.
I'm a victim of my own delusion,
And I haven't got a clue.
What the hell I'm mad about?
What the fuck did I lose?

I've got to break out of this state of mind,
I have to take control.
This shit's been going on long enough, 
And I'm tired of feeling cold.

I saw you hoola dancin',
In a dream that I once had.
I was trippin' with the big boys,
And they couldn't hold me back.
From tellin' you I need you,
But you laughed right in my face.

I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself, 
I've got nothing left to prove.
I've got to break out of this state of mind, 
I have to take control. 
This shit's been going on long enough, 
And I'm tired of feeling cold.

I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself, 
I've got nothing left to prove.
I've got to break out of this state of mind, 
I have to take control. 
This shit's been going on long enough, 
And I'm tired of feeling cold.

A Fragile State of Mind” is a brutally honest descent into paranoia, self-delusion, and the desperate fight for control. It paints the picture of late-night streets, cigarette smoke, and the weight of a mind on the edge of breaking. With confessions that cut deep—sometimes bitter, sometimes darkly humorous—the song wrestles with vulnerability, anger, and the need to escape a cycle of self-pity.

It’s both a howl at the moon and a cry for liberation, balancing raw emotion with defiance. A soundtrack for anyone who’s ever felt trapped inside their own head, fighting to claw their way back into the light.

Eric Schultheiss stands at the vanguard of contemporary composition, forging a unique path that bridges the rhythmic drive of global percussion with the infinite possibilities of digital sound. As a composer, percussionist, and educator, Schultheiss is acclaimed for his hybrid electro-acoustic works—pieces that fuse the organic pulse of drums with orchestral richness and the sonic innovation of modern electronics.

Rooted in a Southern California upbringing steeped in progressive rock, classical discipline, and the improvisational freedom of jazz, Schultheiss draws on a vast tapestry of influences. His music channels the off-kilter accents of Stewart Copeland, the lyrical intensity of Neil Peart, the storytelling depth of Peter Gabriel and Sting, and the progressive artistry of Genesis, Dream Theater, and Spock’s Beard. This synthesis results in compositions that are as intellectually rigorous as they are emotionally evocative.

Currently, as Head of Percussion Studies and Electro-Acoustic Composition at the Middle Tennessee Conservatory of Music, Schultheiss is an outspoken advocate for the DAW as a true instrument. In his hands, digital workstations become canvases for sonic experimentation, allowing for real-time orchestration, microscopic precision, and the layering of polyrhythms and timbres that would be impossible with traditional notation alone. He champions technology not as a shortcut, but as an authentic extension of the composer’s voice.

Signature works such as Lights Twinkle—a Christmas percussion-ensemble piece blending Japanese Taiko, harp, and haiku-inspired vocal textures—showcase his ability to unite tradition with innovation. Airidea’s Journal explores the dialogue between structure and freedom through dance-driven percussion and atmospheric synths, while As You Sleep and Terminal Memory reveal Schultheiss’ penchant for ambient soundscapes, introspective melodies, and cross-media collaborations. His compositions have been commissioned for film, dance, and multimedia productions, performed by leading ensembles, and praised for their intricate interplay of rhythm and resonance.

As an educator, Schultheiss is dedicated to shaping musicians who are not only technically skilled but also creatively fluent in both acoustic and digital modalities. At the Middle Tennessee Conservatory, he mentors young composers in hybrid techniques, polyrhythmic structures, and DAW-based workflows, encouraging them to embrace technology as a creative partner. His influence extends beyond the classroom, as he helps students gain visibility in the digital era and equips them to thrive in an evolving musical landscape.

Through his relentless curiosity, innovative spirit, and commitment to artistic growth, Eric Schultheiss is redefining what it means to be a composer in the 21st century. His work is a testament to the power of bridging tradition and technology, and to the limitless frontiers that await those willing to explore them.
