The rhythm's a little off on this, but I figured it's as interesting as any of the other crap I put up here.

Smiles Manhattan

Formerly a strictly solo project, SM is now evolving into a full four-man band, Silo. Most of the stuff on here is basic and rough, but likely to emerge into more elaborate complete songs with Silo. They are like musical zygotes.

Lyrics

These mountains of sand 
are so white they look like snow.
It's a hell of a thing
to look at the ocean and know
that were both mostly liquid;
when we hit the sun, we all dry up.
Take away the liquid and
we're worthless chunks of God-knows-what.
It's part of my plan  to leave me wherever I go.
If I lose a hair, out the car window it goes.
If I need to spit, into the river it goes.
If I pick a scab, into the soil it goes.
It's part of my plan.
I've been part of 
concrete
paper
bars of steel
bricks of stone.
I am in the drinking water
and other places I don't know.
It's part of my plan...
