about

This song is a tragic tribute to all of my artistic output that has gone unrecorded and forgotten over the years, an unfortunate theme in my life. It was written at the front window piano of Sweatpants. I had initially assumed it would become an AGTSK song, but soon found that I was uninterested in anyone else's input regarding the final sound. This served as one of my first inklings that I needed to move forward with my own project. Note the instant transition from the first track, a strong indication that this album is intended to be listened to in its entirety.

lyrics

my analytic mind has gotten so off track
i'm afraid i won't be finding a way back
to all the ideas i never had
they can't be gone yet i needed them so bad! oh no!

never ever knew i had to ask me to hold my own hand
take assessment of the dance i was faking
deny the things i would never have
lie on the tracks say i'm taking a stand oh no!

and i pretended not to notice
but underneath i know i'll never know this
saccharine ideal i hold for my own gnosis
i can't make it real if i don't understand it oh!



while i'm pretending not to notice
gaining momentum in my need to know this
conscientious struggle with my own neurosis

and find i want to change the station
abbreviate my intellectual vacation
contribute something lasting to this conversation

and catch me at my most creative
capture all the colors of a soul elated
things that i would scream when i was cold and naked
all i thought that i had oh it ain't coming back oh no!


my analemmic mind has stumbled so off time its song is fading
