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…

So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
Some may say that given time, every one messes up and thinks of no one else,
Sins their sin, their selfish acts.
But you I would have sworn were different, a faithful heart.
Not without fault, but I never thought you would cut me like that.
Some…
here is my cover of a boy named bri's "some may say" from his 2011 RPM album. the original is here.

RPM 2011
Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…
Flinch
I'm guilty
I took the bait again
And here I am again
Always with the same stupid grin
And I didn't go as planned
Few things do I've learned
From the top I pulled it
but I didn't see how far you'd go
didn't I see you flinch…
Bought a new bass guitar and wanted to try it out, so made this last night. Gotta say the bass parts were easy, the guitar took ages to get right though. Now my fingers are sore.
A song about meeting up with each other this year for some music and booze next week.
Lyrics-
i need some space
i need some time
just to rehearse
for the viking dance
what should i wear
what should i bring
what will we sing…
Reg was at his local AA meeting last night and just had to express some truth's he had to the others there......................but they didn't believe him they thought he could stop but Reg knew better.......i mean it was the Devil that told…
Reg is willing to do anything to cure himself of his addiction to alcohol and when he hears that they are restarting the experiments with LSD to help cure alcoholism he has to find out more. Through internet research Reg finds out that the experiments…
More like a cover of the bauhaus cover of Bowie's song.
Recorded last night in under two hours from starting programming the drums to posting. Recorded for songcrafters.org's Bowie Fest.
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.
he's not blown away like a stray star
he's not stolen clean away by a fast car
but…
Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
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....
cool mate!!
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!
