These Chains... These Chains...
An improvised groove that grew into a ghost story within a ghost story. All lies are chains. Obviously no one writes songs like this to reach a broader audience or win any popularity contests. So there must be some other reason...
We did not create this world nor did we create the forces of history which impel social economic
political scientific religious cultural and psychological scenarios, institutions and agencies physical
or abstract which have an impact on our world and on our positions in our world. Yet we take
responsibility for our positions. We accept what we have, what is happening, what we have made
of ourselves and what the world has made of us with an eye toward our own goals, for what we
are is beyond all analysis in terms limited by the forces mentioned. Imagine "Papa" Hemingway
writing nada nada nada and understand that genius and celebrity are not living in a brightly lit
scene surrounded by darkness. CHEAP literary allusion cliché affords minimal point of reference
to someone. RUN DOWN ROAD into the cafe glowing incandescent, ride out of the darkness and determine little difference.Band/artist history
Julian Jaynes postulated a consciousness of a "bicameral mind" through which individuals
responded to voices which they believed to be "the gods" but which were a function of a
consciousness lacking an "inner self". This state of human consciousness may have been
prevalent in the late prehistoric period-- circa 10,000 BCE-- before undergoing the transformation
into "modern" ego-consciousness some five thousand years later, coincidental with the advent of the written word and general acquisition of language in terms of abstract or symbolic meaning.Have you performed in front of an audience?Nothing compares to a live performance before a receptive audience. It is through this experience magic is created. Realized.

...what is revealed consciousness on sunset a degree of intuitive
satisfaction but the industry through any medium there is only one answer in autonomy of action I am not anywhere beneath the consciousness, order "reality" according to
egocentric "needs" and "desires". This is something akin wounded freedom-- Here take these
chains and you're free-- delivered preferable to release battle fatigue-- there is no sanctuary-- the cry of submerge identity in a military reception-- material is contrived and promoted as the norm-- these creatures which identify "art" --not to create but to occur in caution of unknown origin-- combat antenna-- appropriating and subverting aircraft aged twenty years by this sign-- world-- home you shall affect who think-- winds on the equation of a style mystery created in abstractions can see it in your red eyes in the weather-- "Conquer ignorance ideas have consequences".
Mystery shall fear no number I am a free man-- freedom, delusion, you and me-- ideas in the
name of the honored transmission flock of birds-- belong to the cosmos.Contact
