dedicated to a pretty girl I know... :P

Lyrics:

smile for me, pretty girl
smile for me, please
i'd do anything you want
to get you to acknowledge me
but i breathe…
Thank you, Fox News, for letting me borrow some of your broadcast from the state of the union in this... song...ish...thing.
i.e. please don't sue me :)
A special "thank you" to the lovely and beautiful Itabit, for lending me some guest backup vocals for this song :)

Revolution is Coming

we've come full circle again
can you feel the waves of sin
my friends
we've come full circle again
do you feel the pain, like me?
driven from rivers of blood

Together we strive
United, we divide
the night fire we've made

We gain what we earn

Money, Money, Money

political ambitions
win praise with hollow words
we the people
eat it up - fat and dumb cattle for the slaughter
now sing with me
sing with me
sing with me
money money money
it's all…

I love that this album is like the constitution of some dark destroyed place, captured in sound instead of on parchment...like finding a fucked up truth in a desert of lies. Nice work friend, see u on the other side of 2/28/13

What They Don't See
-------------------
guns buy love
peace sells hate
and i just am
waiting for my promised cake
everything you want
everything you need
i just am
the lack of what you see
while you ache
for what you'll take…
Broken (momentum)
-----------------
i wake up every morning with a look upon my face
it's called disgust
And we're all here to blame
i wake up every morning with something caught
in my throat
it's called hate
maybe it's just your name…
Broken
------
i wake up every morning with a look upon my face
it's called disgust
And we're all here to blame
i wake up every morning with something caught
in my throat
it's called hate
or maybe it's just your name
// i am alive…
Words:
I know, I know, I know what you need
Dose of reality is never what it seems
// Facing up to pain
// Just makes pain your game
// Come out with me
// Let's party all night long
Tired of dwelling
On everything that's wrong
It's time to…
// Cold comforts bring decay
// But how they ever numb and soothe the pain
// I'll shoot at you with a shot for me
// Frozen Jager for a frozen day
Cold embrace of a girl that I barely know but I'll light a cigarette and watch us burn slow in…
first song for the 2012 RPM!
Lyrics:
// Cold comfort
// On nights like these
// (I'll carry on)
I'm lost to your dreams
discarded it seems
lost to my nightmares again
I'm found in this hole
Dead in your ditch
Waiting for you…
Words:
// Does it help you sleep?
I don't bother to check
Which way the wind blows
I already know it's against me
Anyway that I want to go
// Does it help you sleep?
I don't bother to check
Which way the wind blows
I already know it's against…
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
Good one, well recorded.
Let me tell you. This is good stuff. I love new ideas like this. Well done, very well done indeed.
I like the back up vocals, they seem a little drowned out though.
Aggh that wonderful discord!!!! I think the pressure is good for us! This is truly exceptional work... And let me also tell you privately...
There are some eerily cool melodies going on here...I LOVE LOVE LOVE this track.
interesting, is this music/politics/art... all three i think! a cool mix of creativity,, and on a personal note i myself have two arms,,and i hope the let me keep them r,, at the end and all again i say quite interesting r
quite a strong sentiment piece of music
Bleak but horrible true to life
I like the lyrics and the dark atmosphere. More scorched earth!
Surreal vision here. Very fitting.
Dig the message. It where we are at.
I love that this album is like the constitution of some dark destroyed place, captured in sound instead of on parchment...like finding a fucked up truth in a desert of lies. Nice work friend, see u on the other side of 2/28/13

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...
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!
