Great Wall: You're in a Bottle
The Noiseless Aura
This is improv The whole damn thing If you thought that I had a plan You were wrong I don’t know what the fuck is going on I don’t know what the fuck is going on But the music helps It soothes my brain Eases the pain Is it wrong for me to Glue myself here in this chair Do I need help Belittle me more And now that you’ve left I could say that I’m back to square one But I’ve found the last stop And it looks nothing like you thought But I know what I must do now

Recorded the day after I recorded the self-titled EP - again, all in one day. This collection of songs chronicles my 24th year of life, the year that I developed symptoms of bipolar disorder, moved to Chicago and back, was unemployed, and separated from my ex-wife. Not my favorite slice of the pie chart that is my life, to put it mildly.
Remember that there are no rules.
