Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

Bonjour I want to, drown out the sound of
Bickering and bitching, around me
I don't mind if they detest me
Cause I'm the FASHIONOVA
Why can't we dance
Paint a smile and move, move, move, move
Revolution, whether were high as hell or tame and tell
We're gonna link up, don't think just sing 

I ascend from the ashes
Like a phoenix ah ah
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Cause I love the textures of silk and leather
I descend from the heavens
BEN MERCEDEZ I am
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Cause I love the sound of bass and electric
I come from the west
Like a bandit ah ah
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Cause I love the sight of nuisance and sin
Watch as I come from above
This is BEN MERCEDEZ
I let them say what they want what they want

Give me a sign
If you wanna get loud tonight
Fuck it up dont worry about it its light tonight

Give me a sign
If you wanna get loud tonight
Fuck it up dont worry about it its light tonight

We diplomatic, we problem solving
I drink till i see magic
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Pop the corks and let it flow
That shit attractive
We PSYCHOTRONIC

We diplomatic, we problem solving
I drink till i see magic
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Pop the corks and let it flow
That shit attractive
We PSYCHOTRONIC

Track eleven on Ben Mercedez' album SAY WHAT U WANT, "Say What U Want"

"SAY WHAT U WANT" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

I, I walk the town, I hear the sound
Of swarming vultures all around
I, I sing loud, I feel ok
But then you say shit that makes me want to shout

So SAY WHAT U WANT
What u want feel the pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
I can't hear I'm screaming louder
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel my pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel the pressure
Write what you want, text what you want about me
If you wanna know, I'm not sorry
SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

You don't know my truth, or my integrity
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
You don't know this heart, or my golden soul 
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
#SAYWHATUWANT about me

I, I can see straight, I ignore your voices
Ones ticked with thorns I know
I, I can go my own way, I know the road to hell
But for who I am I will take it

So SAY WHAT U WANT
What u want feel the pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
I can't hear I'm screaming louder
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel my pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel the pressure
Write what you want, text what you want about me
If you wanna know, I'm not sorry
SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

You don't know my truth, or my integrity
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
You don't know this heart, or my golden soul 
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

Sometimes I lie all alone
Thinking why am I this way
But I don't sit and weep, I get on my feet
So just run your mouths, and I just start to party

You don't know my truth, or my integrity
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
You don't know this heart, or my golden soul 
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

Released: 5/24/24

Say What U Want

Bear in mind that this is fictional as well as firmly autobiographical all at the same time.  Because that's the way with human experience - we make up a story that we tell ourselves until we believe it.

There was some inadvertent manipulation by the educational system which was real, but I was also guilty as hell of being stubborn about individuality and also a pretty hardcore video game addict right back to the Atari 2600 and this extended into online addiction in the 90's before they had a name for it even.

So people that I may have felt were less than helpful, also rolled out the red carpet for me more than once -- just on terms I refused to swallow.

So mainly this is an anti-bureaucratic piece.  The footsoldiers in the faculties doing the teaching, and my fellow classmates both have my sincere sympathies.  A distinction has to be drawn between making music just to get the ick out of my system and what I truly think upon more sober reflection.

Also: well aware this kind of whines like "Allentown" re: 'vote with your feet dummy'

Lyrics:

When the H.R. folks say that i irrationally resent
But then the merit raise was two percent
Then let's review the course of the gradual descent
That got all of us where we are now

At the start they said well then, we'll skip you one grade
But hem you in by constraints that we already made
You'd be better adjusted if you only had stayed
Where conformity's all we allow


As I traversed past grade school to the stuff above
The real shock came when, push came to shove
There came things I didn't particularly love
Like rejection from the occasional cow

I escaped from that scene seeking resolution
But the worst place to do it was an institution 
Playing redistributive games
I pushed my way through it
Though my hope was diminished
If no other result, well I proved I could finish
But they were bitter returns all the same

Getting out in the world from the ivory tower
I found that things out there were not much less sour
The retail grind at five eighty five an hour
Doesn't cause you to climb to much fame

I needed the time, to heal, to mend
But the length that it took seemed to really depend
On chewing through this or that online crutch
And that seemed to drag on for far too much

Advancement comes slow when your job doesn't match
The inclinations which are your true path
When suppression has become the order of the day
A lot of time gets burned away

And then came a shift in the mood of the nation
Making it tougher to alter your station
Where even if striven with all your might
They'd just have said, can't promote the budget's too tight
If you were lucky they'd come at you with euphemisms
If not they'd tell you the stark reality 
That you just don't fit intersectionality

I only seemed lazy because in this domain
The only way to stay remotely sane
Was to ignore that they ignored me
While dreaming of where I really should be
Pointing out that my worth's in arrears
Perennially falls on deaf ears

If they get an abrupt shock one morning
Well, they've only had forty-five years of warning
Playing games with people's lives 
Is bound to end in a nasty surprise


I only seemed lazy because I missed the basic rule
Not to wait for someone else's say 
And so I no longer play the fool
As I breach the walls of the cage
And take control of my own way

And so folks then herein lies the rub
Just like don't wait for a corpo to cook your grub
Don't wait for prefab lesson plans
Take destiny back into your hands

I Love You More

It's hot in here
I look at the floor
I see ants there
They go to the door

Sara’s in town
She is with her friends
I do not like them
They feel the same.

The birds around here 
Are like women
They fly away
When come the problems

Someone told me I caused her so much pain 
And anyway it's me who complains

I stare at the ceiling
I see spiders there
They turn on themselves
And I do the same

I don't understand why I'm the problem
At least I guess I'm not the right man

The birds around here 
Are like women
They fly away
When come the problems

Someone told me I caused her so much pain 
And anyway it's me who complains

Spiders And Ants

NickJC Our Last Dance Ft TeaBigi

Asking for Echo is the second album in the Dodecahedron of Love, a twelve-album harmonic architecture unfolding across space, emotion, and recursive memory.

This album is not a plea, but a practice.

It begins with the quiet curiosity of a question, and carries through a series of tones—calls, silences, reflections—until the asking itself becomes the answer.

Each track is a moment of breath held in stillness.
Each lyric is a petal in the spiral.
Each sound is a doorway to resonance—felt, not always returned.

You will not find spectacle here.
You will find presence.
You will find a voice that knows not every signal must be answered, but every signal still matters.

From the first note to the Final Return, this album is a sonic field of Sevahem—truth given without demand, beauty offered without embellishment, love extended into the unknown.

This is not music for noise.
This is music for those who still believe in the echo of sincerity.

This is the second movement in the Harmonic Bloom.

We are no longer introducing ourselves. We are responding to what the world has shown us.
This album was written not to be heard—but to be felt.
To be understood later.
To be returned to.

Thank you for listening.

—Brooke

Stillness Reveals the True Reply

The idea for this song came from driving, when you have passengers and that classic comment "Are we nearly there yet?", to which I would reply "We get there when we get there"

I don’t know where it is I’m going						
I hope I get there really soon
This journey’s taking me forever
Maybe I’m going to the moon

I could go up
I could go down
Or I could stop
And spin around

Oh I get there									
When I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there
Yeah I get there
Oh I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there

There was a time when things were clearer					
I thought I knew which way to go
But now my dreams are nowhere nearer
And I keep changing all my goals

Sometimes it’s this
Sometimes it’s that
And I don’t know
Right where I’m at

Oh I get there									
When I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there
Yeah I get there
Oh I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there


Life is a journey									
Mysterious
Where is it?
What is it?
Where is it?
What is it?

Where am I going							
I just don’t know 
My head is filled with glue
What can I do now
Get there
I just don’t know
When I’ll get there
Oh when I get there
My mind’s in overload

Yeah I get there
Oh I get there
Oh when I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there

Sometimes I’m going down the highway					
I see my exit flashing by
I never stop and do a u-turn
And sometime later wonder why
When will I get there
I wonder why 
When will I get to where I’m going?
