New Song: Salvation Mountain

I wrote a new song. It's the first non-freestyle song I've written in a long time. Also, I think it might be the first song I've written against a background of formal music training. I recorded it yesterday in my bedroom.

Thanks to Beth Willow Yeah for suggesting the theme. Here are the lyrics:

Early in the day I take a walk to Leonard's place
Where he builds his home / a castle for the god he knows

I believe in my dreams and then I forget

Drink my Trystero / bury your car / walk to the show
Trade your stupid clothes for rabbits fur / let your self go

I believe in my dreams and then I forget

Sometimes it's only in my mind
I'm just so busy swimming sometimes I forget I'm in the sea

God is dead and so is old Puree
We built our little church out in the desert / burned his effigy

Dance all night and sing / repeat your careless whispering
Take a walk with me between the stars down by the sea

I believe in my dreams and then I forget

Freestyle: When What You Said Was Nonsense


This one is fresh. I haven't slept on it. It's just popping out. I added some effects to the second part, but the recording is uncut. Here be the lyrics:

when what you said was nonsense / i can't breathe in your face
oh what the fuck are you saying / about this human race
stop running / down the street
oh the dead bodies piling / in my truck
the friends of the friendless / don't give a fuck
they don't give a fuck about you and me we're friends in lobotomies
oh you and me we're friendly 'cause we got lobotomies

now / now
better go somewhere fast or else it's gonna…

when i was born i fell over onto the floor
doctors and nurses running around they don't know what to do
suddenly out of the shower came a big man wearing a shoe
he picked me up and he ran out the door
i don't know what for
but now i'm here
dying dying dying dying dying dying
dying dying dying dying dying
