White shirt black tie Wing tips and gray trench coat Modest savings and safe abode Look both ways to cross your street And yet your life displays A certain lack of caution A certain lack of caution Why do you fall How can you dive So headlong into danger Who do you call How can you thrive In the arms of a stranger Early bed, early rise Always have your breakfast No known cravings, at times alone Speak so soft to those you greet And yet your life displays A certain lack of caution A certain lack of caution Do do do do Do do do do Do do do do do do do Do do do do How can you thrive In the arms of a stranger White shirt black tie Wing tips and dark glasses Walking briskly skies gray above Quiet nods to those you meet And yet your life displays A certain lack of caution A certain lack of caution Why do you fall How can you dive So headlong into danger

Why does no body want to love me Why does no body seem to care Why does no body want to hold me Why is no body next to mine The pieces of life’s puzzle just won’t fall into place The tales of my days are all tales of woe There’s no one who will give me all the things I need A lonely saga you will never know Why Why oh Why Why oh Why Why oh Why? Why does no body want to love me Why does no body seem to care Why does no body want to hold me Why is no body next to mine An empty cup was once so full A shattered mirror once was whole A sharpened knife became so dull This tattered life has lost its soul The pieces of life’s puzzle just won’t fall into place The tales of my days are all tales of woe Can someone who is loving just take care of me A lonely person who will need you so Why Why oh Why Why oh Why Why oh Why? Why does no body want to love me Why does no body seem to care Why does no body want to hold me

I Wish 03:08
I wish I were a rambler A thousand miles from here I wish I were a gambler With none but luck to fear I wish that I could see you And hold you warm and near If I had but one wish I’d wish to have you here I wish the sun were shining With not a cloud in sight I look for silver linings But they all hide at night I wish that I could see you And hold you warm and near If I had but one wish I’d wish to have you here I dream of you Though sleep won’t come Is it just the truth I’m running from? I wish I knew a wise man For he’d know what to do I wish I knew a prophet And see my future too I wish that I could see you And hold you warm and near If I had but one wish I’d wish to have you here

Hover like a butterfly Black and yellow wings Subject to your Monarchy You can pull the strings Bewitch me, you have Be with me, my love Enslave me, so lightly Be the hand to my glove Soft like a butterfly Summertime she sings Give me your blessing dear You can give me wings Bewitch me, you have Be with me, my love Enslave me, so lightly Be the hand to my glove Fragile like a butterfly Summer dress that clings Beautiful, so magical Monarchs are your kings Bewitch me, you have Or switch your point of view Be caught in the web That I made for you Be caught in the web That I made for you

Ancient sages Long lost saints Silent and forgotten Wormy and so rotten Ancient sages Long lost saints Covered now in rust Mouths are gagged with dust Oh paradigm is it original or archetype Oh paradigm is it original or archetype I see through all your lies oh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs One more part of me dies ooooh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs I see through all your lies oh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs One more part of me dies ooooh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs Ancient pages Bloodless stains Precious and forsaken Never to awaken Ancient pages Bloodless stains Relics made from bone Rubrics set in stone Oh paradigm is it original or archetype Oh paradigm is it original or archetype Ahhh I see through all your lies oh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs One more part of me dies ooooh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs How sweet this life we have, think some Other folks aim for the paradise to come Dude take cash in hand forget the rest 808’s so loud you feel it in your chest I sent my soul through the gates of death Looking for the answers beyond our breath Rocking my soul when it returned Abraham poured chrism on the holy burns You tempted me with sex and gin Satan prowled about, and I could smell it My soul was forfeit, if I would sell it Ahhh Is it original or archetype Oh paradigm is it original or archetype Oh paradigm is it original or archetype I see through all your lies oh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs One more part of me dies ooooh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs I see through all your lies oh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs One more part of me dies ooooh Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs

about

This album almost didn't happen, but I finally got enough music together to make it worth sharing with my listeners. From Experimental to Love Song, from Punk to Danceable Rock, I hope this music meets your expectations! This album reflects my belief that as human beings we should resolve our differences by non-polarized discourse, and especially to focus on the areas where we can all agree, without anger, and with respect.

Special Thanks for NONGO for the Hunger Propels and Drawbridge of Sighs collaborations, and to The Pieces Of Shit! for inspiring Punk 23.
