I've had a really rough past couple of weeks... and ever since my amnesia recovery reached the bottom of its pit, every time something upsets me (these aren't small upsetting things, but pretty big ones I'm trying to deal with... huge ones, really), my mind ends up redirecting to thoughts about the person and events that led up to and caused my amnesia in the first place... and then, it gets stuck... » Continue Reading
Recovering from amnesia has been a strange ride. If you're reading this post before any of my other amnesia posts or song lyrics, then good for you... you're going to experience these things in the same order that I did. About 5 years ago, while at a concert in Knoxville, an artist who shall remain anonymous was performing. She played a song that I must have heard a hundred times before... and hal... » Continue Reading
Okay... so I lied... this is another one about her... a bit hostile again too... I've got a lot of fucked up emotions to balance here... most incomplete songs are missing an ending... this one's missing a beginning because I'm not most people... and it's Slaughterhouse-Five up in this scrambled brain of mine... anyways, here's a work in progress that I just gave a name. Bring You Pain (working tit... » Continue Reading
Another old, old pre-amnesia song... very early '06... my bandmates gave me hell for messing around with this hippy chick, so I wrote this as a quick retort... and it stuck Granola Chicks I like to fuck granola chicks With hairy legs, crotch, and arm pits And I'll listen to their spiritual shit Though I don't give a damn for it I just like to fuck granola chicks And I love to fuck fat bitches t » Continue Reading
This is another old one... pre-amnesia... maybe '06... and I was so thrilled when it came back to me... amazingly enough, my old bandmate, Jerm, found a hand-written copy of it a few days after... and with the exception of a few minor revisions and edits, my recollection of it was spot on... not bad for brain cells that have been effectively dead and severed for 13 years... they've been training f... » Continue Reading
This is the most recent song I've written... and the last one I'll be posting about her (I've got a few more old ones that have nothing to do with her coming... and I've got a few more songs about her that I'm not posting... yet anyways)... she's a tired topic already, but an entire damn concept album worth of inspiration... and let's face it... the amnesia, and recovering from it, has been about ... » Continue Reading
In this one, I try to be a lot more sympathetic... I think I imagine it at a pace similar to the verses of Fat Bottom Girls. Black Roses We never once thought That we were living too fast While not heeding any stop signs Without a care if we crash No warning ever gave us Even a thought of slowing down Always flying never dying Until we smashed into the ground » Continue Reading
This one accompanies "Happy?" and "The Indictment"... there's a piece of the story that I just haven't worked into a song yet, but it would be horribly dishonest to leave it out... I made some awful mistakes too... my only excuse is that I was so far past the end of my rope that my mind was beginning to fray... I wish it had never happened... I wish we'd never seen that day. Forsaken You kept lift... » Continue Reading
This one has the same preface as "Happy?", so go read it there in the previous blog post... only this one has a lot more unfiltered and raw emotion... and a little bit of post-amnesia exchanges gone horribly awry... I had thought about scrapping this song because maybe it's a little too hostile towards her... but then I remembered hearing her voice telling me "don't you ever scrap a good song" The... » Continue Reading
This cheerful little ditty was inspired by one of the critical turning points on a path that lead to an amnesia inducing, traumatizing breakup... when I needed her the most, she became the worst. [warning - this is all lengthy preface... explaining things that happened prior to the events of this song... this song is where they got personal... and hurt so much more] (tl;dr - short version and skip... » Continue Reading
Welcome to the void Where nothing exists An endless expanse Of abyssal darkness Nothing grows or lives here But neither will it die It just festers hurt and bleeding And biding its time Feelings whispered into the darkness Are never forgot They remain sealed in the horror Of absence of thought A walking death that infects Those » Continue Reading
This one's a love song... this one was written March 19th of 2021... during the period of time while I was recovering from my amnesia but still hadn't recalled any memory of the traumatic experiences that caused it... also, I feel like some of the lines and quips from it might have come from some pre-amnesia song that I might have written long ago and not yet remembered... they had a ghostly famil... » Continue Reading
