Hi Folks.
Got a new tune to share. This is another collaboration with
Ray C. I had bones for the short backing track, but hit a roadblock
with it. Ray graciously agreed to collaborate. He came up with very
cool and unusual lyrics specifically for that backing track. It was
almost surreal how it made more and more sense to me as I was getting
accustomed to them. It was a challenging project for me, technically
and artistically. Totally loved the process! My better half, Katya,
helped me with ideas on arranging vocals and participated on back
vocals. Ray - all Lyrics, guitar solo, and overall support.
Katya-vocal arrangement ideas, back vocals. Me-main arrangement,
vocals, mixing. Robots-the rest. Constructive suggestions are always
welcomed.

People playing robots playing people
Each in search of a magic panacea
Cast their votes in simplistic transactions
Like beetles crashing into light bulbs.

Inside the tiny horror
Mirrors reflect the monster within
That’s fighting to get outside
But the easy life is what their minds detected

People playing people playing people
Each in search of a graphic panacea
Sending the ranchers into rain forests
Like beetles crashing into light bulbs.

Acts printed on a circuit
Hidden in folds of skin and carbon
Programmed by the flashing screen
Sublimation says where their mind’s directed

Volume and delay
Making real monsters of the rumors
That still grow within
Consuming all life is what the time’s perfected

Robots playing people playing robots
Each in search of a caustic panacea
Celebration of the darkness inside
Like beetles crashing into light bulbs.

Shout me alive
Shake me from death
Tell me of hope
And each borrowed breath.

Shout me alive
Wake me from death
Give me some hope
With each shallow breath.
