Dystopia
--------
will you cut off my arms, in this animal farm
can you rip out my tongue in this bleak '84
bring silence to their ears, and quell all their fears
big brother, won't you cut out my heart
before i see this ripped apart
as i watch…
Track 18 from "Someone Else's Hell"
Lyrics:
So, this is what it's like
To grow old
Old
Everybody needs you
Everybody cares
Except the ways that matter
Why are you still here?
So, this is what it's like
To come home
A hero
You…
17 - Shadow
===========
there's something in my shadow
watching, waiting, taking over me
is there someone, anyone
anyone to help me?
sing:
[nothing of value]
all our demons come to play
in our eyes, everyday
can you make mine go…
16 - Ways to Pass the Time
==========================
love is just an effigy
i've burnt and burnt and tried
cast out upon the open seas
of all the times i've died
and to the realms of ecstasy
i've sinned and sinned and cried
just like…
*thank you itabit, for lending your voice to this... i still hate you.
15 - Home Is A Place To Hang Your Head (haunted)
================================================
narrator:
i know
you don't understand yet
this is a glimpse of eternity…
14 - Swing
==========
run, my dirty little liar
outrun the truth today
swing, my dirty little lover
into the night sky
(swing away from me)
// swing up for your soul
// swing up past the pain
// now look down at the ground…
06 - Burning
============
burn out old scars
scream at the world
self destruction reigns tonight
yet i feel no pain
self destruction is my life
yet i feel no pain
(burn it, burn it, burn it)
she says it's not august
she says…

I don't miss anything that inspired this or the rest of the songs on this album. But thank you for asking. I will not repeat the mistake of letting you back into my life. I literally want nothing to do with you.

"I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."
Why
Do you
insist
on letting them
get away…
I recorded this back in February for the RPM... then I got all distracted by non-discontent and work. I finally decided to go ahead and just abandon the album - but here is the one decent track I made :)

I apologize for the long wait -- I'm going through some life changes that make recording difficult at the moment :D
I've overcome the difficulties for this song which I would like to dedicate to the beautiful woman who inspired it. Her initial…
29 - My Darkest Place
=====================
this is my darkest place
my light has gone away
this was my final stand
these damned word coming from a broken man
// love...warmth...
// everything is gone
// light...hope..
// everything…
Dystopian Anthem
----------------
Together we strive
United, we divide
the night fire we've made
are ours to take
We gain what we earn
earn what we can take
family, we all share
In this world to create

30 - Stringman (occupied territory)
===================================
all is dark again
where has my light gone
shine something on me
shine some light on me
all is dark again
all is dark again
all is black again
why do you walk…

LOST IN THE GRAY
Never ran into the water on a summer day
Never had the time to find a better word to say
Never tried anyway
Never thought I'd ever try to find another way
Never even thought I'd ever really want to stay
Never knew how…
FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
rpm #7,, i think this will be the overture, to a small midi orchestral suite, which i hope will finish up as my remaining 3 pieces for this years rpm, but well see how that goes,, thanks for all the helpful comments i have received on this project…

CIVIL WAR
Holding down the borders
What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire
Never thought to look for…
awesome sound! reminiscent of some of the stuff from Smashing Pumpkins "Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness" album -- this is shaping up to be a *really* good RPM!
A HOUSE CALLED BROKEN
youre in a house and your wasting away
youre in a house and its long long lonely day
youre in a house that you cant wait to forget
youre in a house all broken a little lie you tell yourself
but when it falls to pieces…
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
Very nicely arranged! And I can't help but be concerned at exactly how many are righting George Orwell/1984esque music right now :) Something is distinctly wrong in the world...
Pretty whores and fat queers
make bicycle parts in a factory
not far from here, and it
doesn't make a difference
if its weird or if its strange
just superficial words
from a long gone age
and I couldn't hold a candle to them
and I wouldn't…
Comments on Vestigial Remorse's stuff
Why did you stop making music?
Thanks to to the people that made this worthless. --- V
Loving this collection ... Constant emotional roller coaster
A dark poem in the guise of music...
Agree with last guest -- painful to hear, but oddly cathartic
... so much pain in the vox...
Well .. it does seem to speak for itself, eh?
Oddly no comment here...
I don't miss anything that inspired this or the rest of the songs on this album. But thank you for asking. I will not repeat the mistake of letting you back into my life. I literally want nothing to do with you.
If you care about her then why don't you tell her?
Miss her yet???
Cool track :) Big and dark
Nice.
Yes, love it. You make me want to make music again.
This is oddly reminiscent of Gary Numan....

Will you be posting your latest rpm challenge soon?
Dark as an art
cool - enrancing, spooky and fun with the music.
what is this style of music you do? its so bloody interesting!

wow... i love it "just superficial words from a long gone age / and i couldn't hold a candle to them..." There's a lot here in very few words
a much different style than i'd normally listen to... but i must say, this is frikken awesome!
