I threw my mind out yesterday
Afraid of things I cannot say
Cause the words just fade away
Oh these times are getting bad
Vivid memories are so sad
Or was it flashbacks that I've had
Feel the fog it's in my head
Yesterday's green is now red
Some days are no different than dead
Lock me down into a home
Without my thoughts I'm so alone
Lost outside what once was known
I saw the world it was so clear
But without vision brought the fear
I can't recall what I hold dear
Medicate me keep me down
Of the mind there is no sound
Into the nothingness I drown
I drown
Hanging by a thread
Always in my head
Fetching madness
Pulling me in
Whisper torrents
Wearing me thin
Debussy dreams
Meaningless things
Sincerity
Black glass infer me
Fissionable
Disposition
Wearing madness
Like a coat
Warm and insular
Bulletproof
some folks are broken,not even snakes in the grass
they’re just broken more like nails on the black..board
broken …some folks are broken
for them I give this thing that I have
for them I stand and sing that I’m glad
for them there is this thing that have and that is ..nothing
some folks got evil, not even near the top class
they’re just evil, they just reaching for the brass ring
evil, some folks are evil
for them I give this thing that I have
for them I stand and sing that I’m glad
for them there is this thing that have and that is ..nothing
some folks just bad, no other word for the thing
they’re just bad no way to wipe it all clean again
bad… some folks are bad
for them I give this thing that I have
for them I stand and sing that I’m glad
for them there is this thing that have and that is ..nothing
for them I give this thing that I have
for them I stand and sing that I’m glad
for them there is this thing that have and that is ..nothing

your welcome...and i'm sorry...hope its enough to keep me in the game...super busy week.
i didn't have time
INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE
FAR FROM THE BELIEVABLE
NOWHERE NEAR CONCEIVABLE WHY
UNDERNEATH THE PARABLE
LISTEN TO THE TURNTABLE
OVER THE INVINCIBLE SKY
TRY TO FIND A REASON WHY
TRY TO BE INCREDIBLE
YOU CAN BE IMMEASURABLE
FAR FROM THE BELIEVABLE SKY
you stumble in at 4 in the morning
I learned there ain’t no use for to ask
the deepest love will come with no warning
take these chains to task
take these chains to task
Take me to the place where I
Fall to pieces
Take me to the end of the firing line
Break it on down til the pain releases
Ain’t no shine at the bottom of a
Diamond mine
I drink my bourbon straight with no chaser
Never take no sugar with tea
My angel needs no roses to grace her
some times she pities me
times she pities me
Take me to the place where I
Fall to pieces
Take me to the end of the firing line
Break it on down til the pain releases
Ain’t no shine at the bottom of a
Diamond mine
From the first time you touched my lips
I couldn’t wait for another fix
You’re like a hypnotist
And I’m just a fish on the line
Come on give me another round
can’t stand when you’re not around
Got me feeling down
Till you pick me back up again
What’s the matter with me, baby?
You know you’re driving me crazy
Thinking about you every day and night
Being wrong never felt so right
When it’s this good you know it’s understood
Ready to roll the dice with my life
Like a dog tethered to a leash
Got me begging for another treat
I’ll be discreet
Just give me what I need
You’re the habit and I’m the addict
I’ll be the toy in your attic
Just bring me down
Whenever you feel the need
What’s the matter with me lately?
It’s like I’m here but it’s hazy
Eyes wide open in the dark and light
Can’t clear my head of what’s out of sight
And if I bring it from the rear view
Will I ever feel the brand new?
Tired old eyes wave good night

Your assignment this week comes from Dale:
"Dissonance has many shapes and definitions. In this context, I'm speaking exclusively musically. As the musical definition is essentially "that which is not consonant" I'll go a little further to pin down the requirements.
Dissonance, for the sake of this assignment, is anything beyond the realm of conventional triad-based harmony (like including jazzy chords like a D7#5b9) and/or that which would be (at least intuitively) displeasing to the ear (like doing your best Captain Beefheart impression). Using a mode for your tune (like Dorian, Lydian, Mixolydian) would also count.
Dissonance should be a musical focus of the tune, having one errant dominant 7th chord ain't enough.
