Broken Pieces of Yesterday (2nd update)

Music: it's not just a part of me... Though I am many things, music plays in my mind always.
Story behind the song
I started with nothing other than a blank template file based on Convocation of Lies and Discernment of Candor's sound sets and effects in the same basic track and bus layout (none of the notes or sound samples, etc).
It's been thru several hours of editing so far; still decisions to make about what to prune.
After a few hours, I got to the point you hear in the link above. Now I'm too tired to keep going, so I put it up for y'all's aural perusal.
I haven't tried to record the vocals, but the words are below; they scan to the lead well enough though you have to sing some of the words quickly or as a single note to line them up right; it still fits, mostly. I didn't really intend the imagery; it just came out like this. (I actually didn't intend any words at all, but...I was looking at my "song titles" notepad file (where I store nifty song titles I think of, and sometimes lyric pieces), and right above the title I used for this song was a partial lyric "dead pixel"...much of it scanned to this song, as I was playing it back while I looked thru the file. So I rearranged phrases to better fit, and so here is what I ahve so far:

Lyrics
broken pieces of yesterday
littering my mind
cracks across the screen
with colors running green
and pink and blue and black
the picture's not coming back
My world is covered in bits of all of you
images corrupted
by colors interrupted
with lines of things I never saw
among blocks of life I once had lived
bits missing from my life
circuit incomplete
with loss replete
all files delete
spin....down
lights go on
lights go out
broken pieces of yesterday
littering my mind
vias sundered by swollen layers
separating memory from me
