Starfish Brain

The starfish brain demands an accounting.

Another demo for the album in progress.

=====

Semiconscious liberation
Hypnogogic state of mind
Hallucination infestation
Pandemonically inclined
Sluggard reason left behind

The starfish brain demands an accounting
The starfish brain insists on control
The toothless world congeals and slides down the memory hole

Fragile porous inner sanctum
Cartesian Theater's crowded fire
Surging waves of sidewalk crankdom
Loud assassination choir
Vagrant whim as heart's desire

The starfish brain embraces disaster
The starfish brain believes in the soul
The toothless world congeals and slides down the memory hole

Follow me
Underground
To the sunless sea
To the lost-and-found
Where all are born and all are drowned

The starfish brain ignores all distractions
The starfish brain continues to roll
The toothless world congeals and slides down the memory hole

(Get Flash to see the track player.)

I really love the lofi ambition of this. you do a lot of fun stuff with what sounds like simple tools. and the lyrics are great.

Thanks, es. It's just the songwriter demo, so I don't get too fussy about the sounds--the final version will have real drums, trumpet, and a singer who can sing. But I might keep the distorted fake strings.
