The Transient

A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.

Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

Lyrics

Late at night in a restless state
My body spent, my mind frustrated
I look back through a drawer of days
Not so old yet forever far away
The scribbling of me, the younger self
With whom I’m bonded through sickness, health
The images like my own greatest hits
I know the words, tunes, frankly, all of it
Play it back ten thousand times or more
Always hoping for another path to explore

My sinking stomach the tell tale sign
That I haven’t yet cleared off all the brine
Clinging to the soft underbelly of mine
Even now when I’m feeling most fine

Hey mister have you seen a gobstopper
Variable and garish, I couldn’t stop her
Not her, the witch of the salty lake
Who never existed, whom I’ve never spake
And never will soil, ideal for real
But I feel she will one day appear
Still in this state of restless youth
That does bath thee, else illusion’s truth
Wash away forever from such a mesh
As clear as day you’re the best yet

My sinking stomach made it through this night
On tomorrow I depart for wooden paradise
A span of time a vacation from vice
Wrapped in a word, a poem, with Bryce
