about

Written in 1994/5? I was in a group called State of Nowhere. I had just started to sing for the group, but the guys wanted to audition new singers. I wrote this in response. SON recorded it, and it was on our Demo. A longer version of the lyrics was published in a poetry anthology in 1996. Recorded 9-10/2001.

lyrics

False dream castle resting on shallow air
Falls right down, falls because no one cares
Why go on when no one wants to hear me?
Live your separate life of joy
and I’ll keep on silently dreaming
Going down the same old path
Every time the same as the last
Going down, down, down…
You profess you’ll always care about me, what I do
That was then, and this is now, so why you prove untrue?
Packs of lies shoved down my throat, force feed me what you will
Live your separate life of joy, but send me to my quiet hell
