about

Perhaps one of the most talented members on the Long Island scene, Michael Korb and I being friends and he being the person behind the project, our collaboration/revision on this song from his incredible debut album "Ghosts" (find it on Itunes) spurred the entire process of this record. When returning to record this, rather than just record my verse, his band with drummer Chris Spikoski and bassist Joseph Patti recorded the song completely fresh for a live new sound.

lyrics

AllOne Verse:
I keep revolving but need to be involving revolution
lacking evolution i keep chasing my tail
and I can only write this stale stagnant
story in circles its boring, not mirthful.
And I'm running out of patience, pages and patients,
because too few vagrants in my vacant under appreciated
creative brain-space stayed under observation,
blatantly evaded and given no evaluation,
education or meditation to entertain fertilization,
and fermentation to revelations.
Pacing back and forth not elated yet complacent,
my heart is never racing as I'm rat racing
never chasing my dreams
but following my foot cold steps
from my vengeful shoulder chips
from my blue collared colder lips.
I shot remarks at my toe tags while biting the bullet,
grinding my teeth hoping to set a spark in the dark,
the skin of em tattooed with venomous
long winded business theories whispering eerily
in the darkness, doing donuts in my car just to
park this carcass harmed with hardships of
psychotic cyclonic twisters
with such ease that it made me uneasy.
Throwing towels in appeasing the opposing
bigger brother's sleazy teasing teachings
rather than my three sheets to the breeze was a breeze.
Candid freeze frames of my life,
can and did free and change my strife.
As i sat over those negatives, i understood they were just that.
The images stuck in my brain cause while
i wasn't grimacing I was feigning smiles...
And as tooth full as i had made them,
not truthful and violated
the useful and kinder way which
we humans desire to paint this
I grew new and I became this
pupil that night and changed since
my pupils dilated
upon the clues of my own wasted life
I presume looked like the hated
dutiful trite and faded
beautiful light which used to shine amazing
Illuminating the wall's writing and illustration: "DEAD END".
In the circle of life, you'll retrace your steps
and never regain your breath and if you follow the "O"
you'll bore your whole life and bore a hollow void hole
which will swallow your devoid soul.
Avoid running in circles, it's stunning and hurtful,
I dead end up with the sum of zero
and I just want the sum of one. I just want someone.
