Stand Still. I wrote this song about 2001 but didn’t record it until years later with talented writer/producer Dan Burns.
This was supposed to go on a record but didn’t make it in the chaos. However I’ll probably throw it on something at some point so that people can listen to it. :)

Poppyshock - a song I wrote with Bon Harris (Nitzer Ebb) - he is responsible for the programming and production on this. I’m pretty sure he’s a genius. :)

Melancholy Moon (tape recording) (unreleased demo ARCHIVE)

Linda Strawberry

This is a song from my archive called Melancholy Moon - It is a tape recording from 2002 when I was working on the Zwan record in Chicago. Occasionally I had off time so I would go into a side studio with a tape recorder - When I wrote this I was practicing the guitar picking pattern that Billy had just taught me and then this song popped in my head. (I have found so many of these songs on old tapes and cd’s that I found in my storage -so more to come).
Lyricsshe is my measure
my pillar
my example of someone truly good.
i can’t sit still
i can’t run fast enough
i’m scribbling circles around my feet
do not trespass these zones
i bury my face in her hair
as i hear sobs come from me
silent prayers of despair
that she can never leave me
that it’s my only real solace
the only hiding place where i forget
all the terrible things that have happened
i hear her voice singing me to sleep
summertime
and i feel like death is chopping down my trees
as oxygen refuses to infuse her
i cannot swallow
as sorrow is swallowing me
all my minutes tie back into hers
somethings gonna come undone
its the witching hour again
i’m on the ceiling waltzing with the residents
and these bloodlust eyes are chopping out those angry frames
the mish mash constant dull knocking
bashing out my brains
something gonna come undone
all the chords hang in discord
we bend the hangers out and use them for car parts
our engines burning on the will to drive
i can hear her caving in all over the floor
the hour that births regrets
sweat just licking up your face
that kind of chick who seeks out someone to make her misery rich
someone’s head to bang against her legs
to make them pay for what those beggars tore out
ya. ya.. we’ve see it all now
the skeletons and terrors rock us gently to sleep
i am distintegration
rocks thrown to death
im barely breathing
watching the angels rise up
we all want to feel loved
(doesn’t anybody)
is there ever enough
to heal us
as the shadows in us are killing us
as the shadows in us are killing us
tearing our hearts to blackness
drowning out the light
will i ever find the way out of this
slow lonesome moan
fear thats doomed to die alone
i am destruction
anchored down to a spotted past
im bleeding out
singing for my salvation
we all want to feel love
(doesn’t everybody)
is there ever enough
to heal us
as the shadows in us are killing us
as the shadows in us are killing us
dragging our spirits downwards
poisoning our blood
this slow lonesome moan
fear that’s doomed to die alone
i’m bleeding it all out
gritting my teeth biting the muzzle
i’m not doomed to this abyss
i sing for my salvation
is there enough love to heal this
I don’t know why I shut you out
wringing out my torn up hands
i can only call you out
when i crack in half
and i can run until my feet bleed
and i can switch scripts - a thousand faces
you still stand there as plain as you are
a perfect echo of my outline nearly killed
why don’t I just ingest you
and you can take a turn in the pit of my hell
until you dissolve right through your blacklined shell
all these nights racked with ruin
my mind cuts short - toes cling the edge
i tiptoe backwards hanging on angelic chords
i don’t know why i shut you out
I’d rather box you fair and square
punch out your teeth rip out your hair
the perfect vessel of monotone despair
Daylight
daylight creeps in
I can feel tomorrow rushing in
there you are..
moving out of
all your secret corners
rising up the sun…
and all my hopes and my dreams for us move up across the room
and shake out the filth
that’s laid out
in my darkest hour
you are standing there like a soldier
in my darkest hour
you are holding me still
oh love,
you walk with me until the ghosts are shot
and my mind comes alive
oh love,
you walk with me until the ghosts are shot
and my mind comes back alive.
if the dark clouds sink and overwhelm me
you dive right through
and take me in your arms
and i’m spinning waves and backwards butterflies.
and all my hopes and dreams for us move up across the room
and shake out the filth
that’s laid out
in my darkest hour
you’re standing there like a soldier
in my darkest hour
you are holding me still
oh love, you walk with me until the ghosts are shot
and my minds comes alive
oh love, you walk with me until the ghosts are shot
and my mind comes back to life.
I fight a hope that leaves me unsatisfied
I fight a girl redrawing lines
I fight a peace that does not include you
I fight an ending I didn’t choose
I fight a love that’s been disconnected
I’m still yelling across a dead line
All this Lip Distortion - it brings me down
So I’m not perfect - I still want you around
Lip Distortion - it brings me down
This puppet string affair
I disagree with all this nonsense
So I go on and take these chances
‘Cause I refuse to be told I’m wrong to love you
So I go on and take these chances
And if you never come to ever feel the same
At least I can say I took these chances
But this Lip Distortion - it brings me down
Because I still want you around
I still want you around
I still want you around
I still want you around
I fight the mess that you’ve made out of my head
I fight the stillness of my bed
I fight excuses of why I wouldn’t work
I fight the blame that I throw on her
I disagree with all this nonsense
So I go on and take these chances
‘Cause I refuse to be told I’m wrong to love you
So I go on and take these chances
And if you never come to ever feel the same
At least I can say I took these chances
I took these chances
Because I still want you around
I still want you around
I still want you around
I still want
I still want you
I still want you around
I still
I still want you
I still want you around
When you feel the Dark Side lift
It’s the Dawn…
Know that I Am Here
Love is All that lasts
Love is Permanance
Why I live and Breathe
Why I live and Breathe Still
So don’t despair
It is Not Too Late
Keep your Heart Open
I am Always on your side
Love is All that Lasts
Love is Permanence
It’s Why I Live and Breathe
Why I Live and Breathe Still
Timeless.
In the Light.
