Oh, the time that I've lost Oh, the thoughts that I've had Here are some familiar progressions Holding up melodic confessions waiting to emerge Oh, this need to release Oh, this need to release Oh, this need to release No way to move if I'm just sleeping Making up for time that I've lost Chipping through the permafrost Forgetting every coin that I've tossed Making up for time that I've lost

Soup 09:31
Here in that gray area again Never did I think that this would happen Surrounded by the windy, rattling sounds of these machines A source of sustenance is found, but now it seems to merely have bread is not enough for me I need a soup of all my favorite things to wash itself down Here a little yellow hides behind what's new All the times I've sworn that I would save you Stifled by the windy, rattling sounds of these machines A source of sustenance is found, but now it seems to merely have bread is not enough for me I need a soup of all my favorite things to wash itself down What did I do to deserve you Do you know you are my favorite thing to wash itself down

Oaths 06:47
And when they take it all away with nearly omnipresent sway You're left with nothing Your empty life is all that you have Empty life How do you fight for nothing How do you fight for something that you can't see How do you fight for nothing How do you fight for something that no one could love that no one should love Self-contradicting myths of benevolence And the fools who trade their kin for canons on behalf of pigs How do you fight for nothing How do you fight for something that you can't see How do you fight for nothing How do you fight for something that no one could love that no one should love All the fallen All the fallen Known by someone Loved by someone All the fallen All the fallen Eventually all but forgotten Embrace reason Observe and evaluate It's not treason to ask yourself How do you fight for nothing How do you fight for something that you can't see How do you fight for nothing How do you fight for something that no one could love that no one should love

Saturn V 05:51
I found the plans for the Saturn V and I want some answers I found you out I know your game I don't want to play anymore So obsessed with space So obsessed with escaping Many concerned with keeping this pace Few concerned with the mistakes that we're making Where's my EmDrive Where's my mach effect thruster I want some answers

about

After roughly a decade of experimentation with different instruments and equipment, followed by a whole lot of practice, I'm able to make exactly the sounds I want to (vocals, guitar, analog synth, and drums) without any pre-recorded samples or sequences, even when performing live.

Each of these songs was recorded straight to a stereo mix in a single take (vocals and all) via live-looping -- and often playing drums with one hand while the other plays synthesizer. The recordings were then edited only slightly and 'mastered' with nothing but some EQ and normalization. Every song has its flaws, but that's the point. This music was performed. Not 'produced.'
