There was a shadow hanging over me in the darkness of my youth The one night I saw eternity And it felt just like the truth As the night begins to fall I take the blame I take it all Unholy People They make false claims Unholy people the shut you out Unholy people they lay false blame Unholy people the shut you out Then sometimes I talk nonsensically And I get the strangest looks Other times I talk intelligibly Because I read too many books And as the night begins to fall I take the pain I take it all Unholy People They make false claims Unholy people the shut you out Unholy people they lay false blame Unholy people the shut you out You've got to find your heart again You've got to find your heart my friend.... (repeat, out)

Flow With It 02:24
I want this and I want that Gotta admit, I’m a pretty sad cat If I eat too much I might get fat Go with it roll with stay with it flow with it Go with me roll with me stay with me flow with me. Modern dreams fit the theme of love. Blue for flowers and blue to feel Masquerade is a pretty big deal Save some bread I’ll eat the heel. Go with it roll with stay with it flow with it Go with me roll with me stay with me flow with me. Modern dreams fit the theme of love.

I take the train downtown Trains make a lovely sound I take the train downtown today If I was a true believer i could escape the deceiver If am a true believer now I take the train downtown Trains make a lovely sound I take the train downtown today If I was a true believer i could escape the deceiver If am a true believer now Heavenly choirs and angels that sing And all the happiness they bring And when the darkness falls I ride into the night And when the darkness falls I ride a beam of light I take the train downtown Trains make a lovely sound I take the train downtown today If I was a true believer i could escape the deceiver If am a true believer now

Jezebel 03:02
I can read your heart I can read your mind When you're all mine And when you're unkind And in this darkness I don't know what to say My thoughts get blocked The words just stop There's nothing left to say I can see your eyes I can see your lies When you're show shrewd And when you're unwise And in this darkness When there's no light at all I fight the night I seek the light I heed the siren's call The treachery of Jezebel Who brings down men and raises hell This was once an empire This was once an empire i can see your dreams I can see your schemes On the printed page On the silver screen And in this nightmare I don't know what to choose The doors all shut There's no way out There's nothing left to choose The treachery of Jezebel That brings down men and raises hell This was once an empire This was once an empire Why oh why can't she change Why oh why can't she change Why oh why can't she change?

Plagiaristic parasites and mad sarcastic mamas Fabricating fornicators quote the Dalai Lama All I’ve got to say to you is “you forgot a comma” Oh oh oh oh oh. I’ve been watching the sun come up I’ve been watching the sun go down in love Now I’m already home since I found the rock and roll And I’m already sold. Masquerading shadow cats join the celebration Quantum quoting quizinators find a new flirtation All I’ve got to say to you is “get a new vocation” Oh oh oh oh oh. I feel tired and I feel used I’m so tired of paying my dues Got to find my railway shoes, my shoes.

Starlight sequence in a clever machine Glamor photos in a strange magazine When they dance they dance all night They do the zombie and the trilobyte The day and the night The reader and the writing It's just a token of faith And it's a diamond everyday The sinner and the saint The viewer and the paint It's just a glimmer of faith in the midnight masquerade Glitterati and the media man Killer diller and the number one fan In the spotlight is the place to be Because tomorrow is just a future memory The day and the night The reader and the writing It's just a token of faith And it's a diamond everyday The sinner and the saint The viewer and the paint It's just a glimmer of faith in the midnight masquerade

Was 03:27
Happy ever after in the land of the free Life’s a mystery, so much left to see When he fell from favor you could feel his disease Talks of liberty, down there on his knees Walking down on Main Street with no shoes The dirt so deep can’t see his baby blues They’re calling: Was, “was” is what they said They talk as if he’s dead “Was,” no longer one of us, I’ve seen him on the bus Because he was. All he ever wanted was a piece of the dream A love that he could hold, a place to call his own Now he’s masquerading as a man without a scene Deep inside his soul, stories left untold Walking down on Main Street for ten years The voices in his head confirm his fears. Cold love, it was a cold love It was a no love.

Here comes Mr. Faketapes He’s the fascinating tape fabricator Here comes Mr. Faketapes He’s the calculating panic creator He edits and snips To say what you did not His immaturity bugs him a lot. Here comes Mr. Faketapes Here comes Mr. Faketapes Here comes Mr. Faketapes He’s the number one prankster it’s true Here comes Mr. Faketapes He’s got all those tapes pranking you He gathers his friends They used to be yours He shares all his tapes With his favorite whores Oh how I miss the good old days When friends were friends and they’d act their age But that doesn’t matter much to old Faketapes Here comes Mr. Faketapes Here comes Mr. Faketapes Here comes Mr. Faketapes Here comes Mr. Faketapes Here comes Mr. Faketapes .

Strange Transcendent Mary Why you want to scare me You give me the chills And unpayable bills Cool exotic lady Why you want to blame me You give me the blues And rock and roll shoes No one’s ever hurt me like you, babe No one’s ever hurt me like you I walk alone through shadowlands there’s no one there to take my hand But you I’ve never felt this way before it’s like the end of world war four, it’s true. Strange Transcendent Mary Why you want to love me You give me your kiss And unbearable bliss Now you’re sitting pretty With the friends of Hello Kitty There by your side Such a beautiful bride I don’t want to leave it like this babe I don’t want to leave it like this. I walk alone through no man’s land There’s no one who understands at all I stumble and I compromise And someone’s got to pay the price, I fall. Strange transcendent Mary Strange transcendent Mary Strange transcendent Mary

Reach up touch the face of a dreamer If you’re young, you’re old, or between, yeah! Twinkling lights, light the night. One hundred magical powers, one thousand beautiful flowers Angels sing, as you’re waiting for the paradox to come. Reach out touch the hand of a stranger No fear, just freedom, no danger Treat them right, it’s alright. Beloved star shine redeemer, things are not quite they seem, yeah! Love is new, as you’re waiting for the paradox to come. Love’s been alive forever, at home in the angels’ hearts If we could strive together, that would be a perfect start. Reach up touch the face of a dreamer If you’re young, you’re old, or between, yeah! Twinkling lights, light the night.

brick bosso Los Angeles, California

I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
