Inside the Brain
from Perception of the Human Mind by Isaac Riley
lyrics
Hoping that I will see you
A coping mechanism or two
Forgotten by a broken cell
Any remorse has gone to hell
A pretty face that wears a mask
Transistors made of meat and fat
I can't explain what shut it down
A smiling friend can't stop a frown
Back to normal
Inside the brain
I've lost all my dreams
Inside the brain
I've forgotten how to believe
What's that village in my head
Of neurons getting out of bed
I feel like thought is thoughtless here
A memory won't shed a tear
I won't tell you what you should think
I'm thinking that you'll want to drink
Please throw away the baby once
the bathwater just rots of lust
Inside the brain
I've lost all my dreams
Inside the brain
I've forgotten how to believe
I'm not normal
I'm not normal
Hoping that I will see you
A coping mechanism or two
Forgotten by a broken cell
Any remorse has gone to hell
A pretty face that wears a mask
Transistors made of meat and fat
I can't explain what shut it down
A smiling friend can't stop a frown
I'm not normal
A coping mechanism or two
Forgotten by a broken cell
Any remorse has gone to hell
A pretty face that wears a mask
Transistors made of meat and fat
I can't explain what shut it down
A smiling friend can't stop a frown
Back to normal
Inside the brain
I've lost all my dreams
Inside the brain
I've forgotten how to believe
What's that village in my head
Of neurons getting out of bed
I feel like thought is thoughtless here
A memory won't shed a tear
I won't tell you what you should think
I'm thinking that you'll want to drink
Please throw away the baby once
the bathwater just rots of lust
Inside the brain
I've lost all my dreams
Inside the brain
I've forgotten how to believe
I'm not normal
I'm not normal
Hoping that I will see you
A coping mechanism or two
Forgotten by a broken cell
Any remorse has gone to hell
A pretty face that wears a mask
Transistors made of meat and fat
I can't explain what shut it down
A smiling friend can't stop a frown
I'm not normal

Flight of the Knife
by Bryan ScaryA wonderfully over-the-top album inspired by early Queen and progressive rock, easily one of the best albums most people have never heard.
go to album -
Really loud and abrasive post-punk oddball music. Is it strange? Completely. Delightful? 100%
go to album -
Soundtrack to the Clearance Bin
by theEndlessVacuumA close friend of mine's alternative rock project. Really catchy stuff here, if you're into that sorta thing (and let's be honest, we all are).
