Residue

vaisvil

Year: 1997

Me trying to be a 3 piece band back in 1997 using the portastudio 1, fender mustang, crate amp, no-name bass, and jazz drum set.

I’ve tried to improve it by remastering in sonar.

RESIDUE

Here I stand one among so many!

Here I stand alone drowning

in my lack of attention
lack of desire
lack of will
lack of life

in the midst of joy, pain, and misery
that doesn’t touch or hurt me
only the residue lingers….

What is this all for?
I ask only the walls
the walls of those around me
all so wrapped, wrapped tightly

in their own lack of attention
their own lack of desire
their own lack of will
their own lack of life

Are we creatures? Are we animals?
blood thirsty demons ripping the tender threads
from the brains of those upon which we feed?

in their own lack of attention
their own lack of desire
their own lack of will
their own lack of life

Are we creatures? Are we animals?

in the midst of joy, pain, and misery

only the residue lingers….
