lyrics

Winding down as roots
My spine uncoils beyond me
It spread like disease
Collecting dust and overheating

My veins run through the walls
A channel of my dilution
I'm tracing components
Following Cables
Forgetting how to sleep
Forgetting how to breathe

What began as obsession robbed me of youth
Now a nameless oblivion, but I recall
Digitized artifacts
Recycled thought

With patience I find some rest here
It never takes me long to replay the sounds
That some might call a dream
Lights dance over the sill
There's something else there that I can't reach now

A cyber-psychotic embrace
Waiting for the icons to light up again
Telling digital lies to all my digital friends

Pixilated ghost, simulated life
And all the colors in my eye compressed down to one
The brightness of it all is how it got me
Disguising infections beneath my collections of fibers and cords
And that's where you find me
And that's where you find my shell

In self-inflicting isolation
I've given my time away
How quickly it flies
I've given my life away

An anti-social socialite
Hiding behind personas I design
How I miss you
Overwritten, copied, and multiplied
Soul that I once was

And all I've ever wanted from day one
Was to be loved and not forgotten
Now an exoskeleton
A monument of man defeated by trust in his own hands
When it was never enough
To pick himself up again with manufactured friends
And all the while, his hope pours over the sill

Find these roots and pull them up
My hope lies over the sill

Twenty Twelve
by Joshua Swann

Josh gave this home-recorded masterpiece everything he had, and the result is a fleeting projection of truly obsessive sound. I'm addicted to this record and all that it means. Dust Sculptures

This is the passion project of Andrew Harlan in collaboration with myself. The end result is a whirring, spinning, growling, progressive tone machine. Dust Sculptures

Just saw today (never too late) new music by Josh Marberry. There was nothing else to do than buy now. Listening to it now and it is really great and inspiring. Thanks for another great piece of art. Daniel Siconnelli

Every time I think I’ve uncovered all the hidden gems I find another one, this is fine music. This band has two other more recent releases not available on Bandcamp, also amazing. Kind of a mix of genres with the post rock backbone I enjoy so much, very talented! Deej
