Superb melody-making, and wow, the production !!.. Fantastic atmosphere.

Great piece of work as usual mark!  Master of the mellow.

turned on your tunes while finishing up paperwork yesterday.  It was perfect music to mellow my crazy day out wiht

lyrics:

come inside
this plastic tampering 
physical 
and essential struggling

nothing wrong
with my circuitry
run defiant
again uncomfortably

die sad about it
die sad about it

brightwork thoughts
i hear a middle place
coffee glance 
don’t look to glyphs to explain

headache quiet
miles to painted lights
forehead up
until i flinch inside

die sad about it
die sad about it

Die Sad About It

it's your pain to bear
but I've known what you know
you might think it's over
you might feel alone

it's your pain to bear 
but I've been where you are
and you're not the burden
you might feel you are

it's your life to live
and your life to lose
but I'm begging you
think again
and start anew

you can start again
could brighter days be waiting there for you, my friend
you can start anew
could love and beauty be waiting there for you
you can start again

I still defend you
it's your right to choose
it's your life to live, boy
and your life to lose

but it's not the answer
it's just without you
and there is no weakness
in reaching out to me

it's your life to live
and your life to lose
but I'm begging you
think again
and start anew

you can start again
can brighter days be waiting there for you, my friend
you can start anew
could love and beauty be waiting there for you
you can start again

give it some time
and think twice
give it more time

Start Anew

[rough vocals unlocked]

Crashing through the April rain
Release
Constrain

Indifferent Preoccupied
nothing 
implied

And I’m starting to wish 
that I’d never begun
and I’m fighting like hell
and I’m biting my tongue 

and the moon and the stars 
and the earth and the sun 
are all laughing

I hope it hurts you forever
and leaves you all in disarray
I hope it hurts you forever
haunted by the people you betray

Let’s have another spin around
Aloof
Unfound

At the mercy of The Wheel
dissolve
congeal

And I’m starting to think 
that hope is a liar
and I’m fighting like hell
and I’m cursing desire

and the moon and the stars 
and the earth are on fire
and you’re laughing

I hope it hurts you forever
and leaves you all in disarray
I hope it hurts you forever
haunted by the people you betray

Crashing Through

From the album Schopenhauer's Apprentice

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you speak your words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

when you lie to me 
I can't believe
when you speak those words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

Schopenhauer's Apprentice

Cry Wolf

he wished everything would fade away.

reversed bass and drums by https://soundcloud.com/five-extra-arms

and he wanted to pay (slowed+reverb)

the captain, mad captain
he told the men his plans
and then they went out stealing things
so they could rule these lands

they stole four antique cannons from the castle
hijacked a truckload of metal from the factory
they stole a jet engine from the old air force base
the mad captain nodded satisfactorily

they welded the metal into a battering ram
and the big jet engine was for extra speed
cannons armed in every direction
the mad captain had returned to the sea (x2)

they were a terror in the open waters
they’d sink any ship that they saw
and with their jet engine, they were able to avoid apprehension
and stay a step ahead of the law

vengeance in the form of a storm
came rolling across the sea
the mad captain pulled his eyes from the sky
he’d seen more than he wanted to see
"all hands below deck", the captain roared
"tie yourself down so you don’t go overboard"
