Weed O’ Lantern 01:52
lyrics
I’ve got a jack o lantern that I filled with weed I know you think it’s a trick But it’s just a treat So come get high with me I’ve got a jack o lantern that I filled with weed It’s not pumpkin spice Breathe really deep It’s not oregano Breathe really deep Come get high with me

The Low Joys of Life 04:05
lyrics

You must bend Before I break (Let it slide) We can mend There’s more at stake (Let it slide) So we can ride high (Let it slide) (Let it slide) On the low joys of life Collapse back Into star stuff and worm food Restart Collapse back in No more grind New groove to change (Let it slide) We can find What might feel strange (Let it slide) We leave stress behind (Let it slide) (Let it slide) On the low joys of life Collapse back Into star stuff and worm food Restart Collapse back in Swimming in the murky eddies Surreal feeling surrender to the mood Find the ego-egg give birth to the new Time dilation things get heavy Do you think eternity cries for you? The universe has known itself through all perceptions as pity dissipates Cycles entropy what’s old becomes new Wings negated by gravity The low joys of life will just have to do.

(Werewolf Hexagram Acid Trip) Loading trucks at a warehouse. I hate my job, I’m scoping out expensive parts I could covertly rob, I got bills to pay and this minimum wage sets the stage for a growing rage. I gotta calm down, I’m feeling like a berserker, so I take a smoke break with a new coworker. He says “you’re looking like your wound up really tight, but I got just the thing to make you feel all right. I’m having a party this Halloween night.” He insisted I go. I didn’t put up a fight. I arrived at the party ‘round eleven pm. Is this address right? The house looks condemned. Whatever. Since I drove all this way. I think I might as well stay. The house is full of garbage and busted drywall I see occult symbols spray painted through the halls. I find my coworker who is passing ‘round a cake he offers me a slice and a cigarette that I take. As the night goes on things get more strange everyone is acting weird and kinda deranged. What sort of party did my coworker arrange? Why am I feeling my perceptions change? I grab my coworker as the walls start melting and I start yelling “what did you do to me?!” and he began telling: “I dipped those smokes that I gave you in PCP, and there’s LSD, a whole sheet, in the frosting on that cake you eat“. He starts to laugh and the room begins to spin so I run outside to hide from him and bide my time to get even. I stumble into the woods lit by the full moon and I really hope that this will all be over soon. I find a calm place to start meditating, I think I’m levitating, consciousness is elevating. Like magic in one fluid movement, I witness my hand movin’, into the dirt I trace a symbol. A hexagram that’s unicursal. As I recall I saw this painted through the halls but I don’t know why it’s what I draw. As I’m transforming I reflect upon the deceptive con that my coworker had put on. Through the fog I see a woman dressed in black I howl “stay back” she points at me and commands “attack!”. Then after that everything went red and I wake up in the morning with a pounding in my head. I’m naked and I’m bleeding. Wait, this blood ain’t mine. I just gotta get home then everything will be fine. I can’t find my keys or my clothes or my car so I sneak back in the house of horrors so bizarre. Surprised I find no one is there the place looks cleared out and the halls are bare but I find a filthy pair of jeans to wear. Back outside after one completed mission I’m in luck there’s a car with the keys left in the ignition I start it up to drive away and then I see the woman from my vision. I pull up to her and yell “what the hell happened to me?!” She laughed and replied “what the Hell indeed”. I said “I need to know” and she said “no you don’t” and started walking away real slow. I just sat there frozen behind the wheel trying to process what I feel then she turned back to say “until another day. We’ll meet again soon. At the next full moon”.

It seems like it's everyone's dream To stare at or be on a screen Hey man you're gonna be a star And all the rest worship you from afar Get your 15 minute fix This just in, it's here again Hollywood Heroin This just in, it's here again Hollywood Heroin The masses are asses Viewing life through rose colored glasses Addicted to attention in the moment Not content without content Get your 15 minute fix This just in, it's here again Hollywood Heroin This just in, it's here again Hollywood Heroin Hey sheeple this subject's a trope Condescension ain't wise or woke I'm serving Pre-packaged anarchy With a side of irony This just in, it's here again Hollywood Heroin This just in, it's here again Hollywood Heroin I wanted it too; king hypocrite Following fame like holy writ Don’t believe the hype, open your eyes Save yourself from dead end lies I’m gonna focus on a life lived well Building a heaven not chasing a hell I really hope you enjoyed the show I’m done playing scripts; I must go

Kill Yourself and Others Because a few bad actors Keep pushing us down Keep fucking this up Because a few bad actors Keep pushing us down Fucking our lives up And I just wanna fucking kill them Kill them Kill myself But I won’t let them take the last part of me I won’t become like them Crucified by conformity Life ain’t fair What I do It affects you So I’ve got to change But be true To who I want to be

I have nothing left to give. 03:05
lyrics
I gave all my heart And part of my soul I gave ‘till it hurt & Time took its toll I Put in so much work Drowning in blood sweat & tears I tried it your way, their way, my way It all ends the same I tried to be kind I tried to be cold I lost my mind It’s time to let go Rhythms cease to dance here There’s no more songs left to sing I tried it your way, their way, my way It all ends the same I have nothing left to give I have nothing left to give It’s time to depart And so few will care I made no mark But I no longer care What I have created No one has asked for at all I tried the old ways, new ways, always It all ends the same I’m shedding this skin From man into snake I end to begin From give into take Finding identity Beyond sunk cost fallacies I tried the old ways, new ways, always It all ends the same I have nothing left to give I have nothing left to give

about

the last experiments I was working on
(but most of these remain unfinished)

drum machines at the wrong BPM
sloppy playing
shit mixes

some are intended as instrumentals
some of these got as far as lyrics but didn’t get a determined melody
Consequently some got really bad vocals that are talk-sung tunelessly or are flat as fuck, weak, unsure, etc.

at best these are a curiosity
but most aren’t worth your time
and they weren’t worth anymore of mine

I'm a musician who has collaborated with many better musicians over the years, but due to struggles with mental illness I have devolved & decided to not release anything else to the public. This page is a document of what I created before and during my decline.
