Spark 03:49
You've been living with your head in the clouds Look who's coming down You've been living with your heart in the mud it's time to dig it out Just a Spark and it's over Everyone that You love Just a spark and then it's gone The World is asleep without a Song Our hearts grow cold Why aren't you breathing anymore? Promise you'll love me forever Just a Spark and it's over Everyone that You love Just a Spark and it's over...

Where did you run with my head? Took my brain from my skeleton put it on a silver platter mouse-trapped, snakes and ladders I'd say I love you but I just can't trust it We'll see each other in Heaven These are the levels you cannot win like in a 80's video game All the people talking around me makes you feel so lonely I'd say I love you but I just can't trust it You know I love you You know that I want too much All for the birds in the bird nests burn down I'm glad you left right now I'd say I love you but that just won't fix it We'll see each other in Heaven...

Medicine 04:52
a garden of thoughts overgrown in your head the words define us the words confine us in a linguistic prison cell science holds the key but we stay tangled like a ratking give me your medicine i need your medicine reality won't make itself clear to the mind that's haunted by fear in this world there's too much to see to make sense of everything the parrot repeats what she hears the parrot repeats what she hears i'm an orange trapped in it's peel and i'm really not sure what i feel and i'm really not sure what feel and i'm really not sure what feel in this world there's too much to see and i'm really not sure what i feel give me your medicine i need your medicine in the end compassion is the finest medicine

blah blah blah I think I am (you left me in a dreamland) me, not me, not me, not me everything i see is temporary i'm not me, i'm not me when the seeds die the seeds turn to trees

It's such a mysterious any thing would become a thing are people pimples growing on planet earth's face? I feel weird in my skin I think I am an alien The operating system in my head is turning on are my actions, thoughts and feelings all predetermined? I walk among the humans listening for their heart beats they are as still as me I feel weird in my skin I think I am an alien I think I am an alien don't think I am a man don't know about the plan I don't think I'm a man I think I am an alien.

Be Happy 04:05
Be Happy He drills holes in his skull to let the demons out locked in a room chained to a bed searching in earnest for an exit Machine-gun eyes alone in a maze blinking at nothing A samurai in his brain dividing not multiplying Love is all that you need to be happy Gosh golly I wallow in my folly Whoopsie daisy Oh, the feeling makes me crazy Be Happy She turns on the TV to see what society has in store for her A price tag to guide every choice it takes a lot of stuff to fill the void We guarantee your satisfaction so be a slave for consumerism Clearly the most successful person is the one with the most possessions Love is all that you need to be happy Gosh golly I wallow in my folly Whoopsie daisy Oh, the feeling makes me crazy Be Happy Be Happy Be Happy Be Happy

Is this fake? is everything I think just a wild guess open for debate and subject to misinterpretation unprovable metamagical thinking Is this fake? I'm not so sure I want to know I'm growing fond of all the thoughts I think I know made to follow the carrot over my head I'm over weight from the dogma that i've been fed Is this fake? I dreamt I was a butterfly maybe I am maybe now I'm dreaming I'm a man Is this fake? whose answer can I really trust? In this landscape full of creatures who are all lost Is this fake? Is this fake? Is this fake? I ask myself over and over again.

Thinking Man 04:38
blah blah blah I'm thinking man blah blah blah cause I'm the man don't let me think the wrong thoughts don't let my mind go astray don't let me think the wrong thoughts don't let my mind go astray just let me think the right things these thoughts are all I'll ever know don't let me think the wrong things don't let my mind go astray just let me think the right thoughts my thoughts are all I know my thoughts are all I know blah blah blah I'm thinking man blah blah blah cause I'm the man

how it all begins no one understands this is what I have this is where I am sperm in an egg sprouting dreams becoming self-ware a billion cells later now i'm underground no thoughts to think about had a good life I really can't complain this is how it all begins modern science says this is how it begins: 13.7 billion years ago some place in space there was some big bang but i find it highly unlikely that science can know exactly how it begins how it begins how it begins you just can't know it all
11.
i was attracted to your light like a dizzy moth in the night i've been shaken i've been poisoned if i find love will i be disillusioned i rest in the flower's shadow clearing my mind from all confusion seeking meaning beyond merely feeling weird world hypnotic psychotic we lost it weird world i'm an insect in your mouth you could swollow me if you wanted to am i the intender of my intentions? feeling unsure of these decisions you're putting holes through my wings as your beauty unfolds heart-stalkers ego-strokers the dreams that plague all breathing creatures the need to give and receive affection to transcend mere simulacrum weird world hypnotic psychotic we lost it weird world i see madness i see happiness in the world
12.
Shapeshifter 04:52
to be like water patient and calm a fearless shapeshifter and attached to none with every step you take you will leave an open wound and everything is in a constant state of growth and decay did you finally find your peace? are you healing my friend? shapeshifter you're gonna be glowing shapeshifter
13.
i find peace walking through the woods i lay to rest all the worries of my world a damsel fly hovers over the water and over the minnows and toads in the morning i hear the wind moving it sounds like it's trying to speak i could have sworn i heard it speak i stand in awe of what i can't understand a world of trees dancing before my eyes a damsel fly hovers over the water and over the minnows and toads in the night i hear insect voices it sounds like their trying to sing yes i know one day i will die but right now i am alive

about

B - Sides and Demos from albums "WORD SALAD" and "The Tyranny Of Thoughts".


I've been sitting on these recordings for a while, unsure how to release them until now. I think artists should separate their egos from the work and just let the music live on as it's own creature. However, I don't want tracks I'm unsure about cluttering up my bandcamp page.

But since I'm a bad judge at what people might enjoy, I've decided to release this EP of b-sides and demos as a free download for anyone who might like it. If even one person out of a hundred gets value out of something, then I suppose it's worth it.

These songs are mostly about the weirdness of having thoughts and feeling emotions.
