Over at ccMixter Platinum Butterfly used my vocals on a project of his and it turned out pretty good.

Failed My Saving Throw

Put it in a box and lock it
Try to forget all about it
Cut our love off
Hide it in a pretty box
My heart that beats for you has gotta stop

Put on a smile but all the while
I’m giving soul-blood to you
Pretend everything doesn’t remind me of years
Like disciples too

Put it in a box and lock it
Try to forget all about it
Shelve it up in the closet
We say we’re both better without it
So cut our love off
Hide it in a pretty box
My heart that beats for you has gotta stop

Put it in a box
Put it in a box baby
Put it in a box honey
Put it in a box sweetheart

Bought you walking shoes knowing I could lose
The part of me that’s part of you
Months and miles long gone so I moved on
But I never really wanted to

I put it in a box I can never open
Put it in a box I can never, never open

Put it in a box and lock it
Try to forget all about it
Shove it down in my pocket
Ignore that it’s there when I’m walking
Shelve it up in the closet
We say we’re both better without it
So cut our love off
Hide it in a pretty box
My heart that bleeds for you has gotta stop

Put in a box (I can never open)
Letters in a box (can never open)
Pictures in a box ( I can never, never open)

Pretend everything doesn’t remind me of you

If I incantation
a particular way,
it helps to set the mood.

You can use it reliably
on those kind of days.

It can be a digital version
of a record groove.


Anyone can put flame to food.

Another. Calm. ID.

Helps the Ego split.
Super-Ego quit.

Leaving no directions for us,
that’s why we loop the chorus.


Part 2

While I stand one,
and you stand two,
we know its all the same
but we still push the blues.

And we did it for the greyish green.
and to paint a scene,
with a flare for the dramatic
isn’t it “Tragic”
We’ve been “trapped” here in this last act

Before the curtain closes on the whole bogus show
Sarcasm is no joke.
Slow gropes at hope disguised as hope.

Then comes the folk.

Part 3
Even in the form of sign waves,
signs that don’t stay -
put -
the play button on the hook.
I invite you to take a look,
or a listen.

While the bass line draws to a close.

Part 4

I’m ready when you’re ready.
I’m ready when you’re ready.
I’m ready when you’re ready.
I’m ready when you’re ready.

Part 5

Now we’ve been fashionably late before.
Skip the coat check,
head straight to the dance floor.

That’s the kind of life I want to live.

comfortable in my position,
with plenty of bliss to give.

Part 6

Blisters give -
way to calluses
when its time to grow.

Or lessons learned,
we take our turn,
Upon the rocky road.

Then our actions
mimic our memories
and off we go.

We could have sat there
and let it come to us,
or so we’re told.

But then we would have missed the show.

Part 7

I’m ready when you’re ready.
I’m ready when you’re ready.
I’m ready when you’re ready.

I think it’s ‘bout time for me to rhyme like a rapper
Maybe even start to walk and talk like a rapper

I’ll wear gold chains that are phat like a rapper
As I walk down the block looking dapper like a rapper

Like a what?
Like a rapper

I think it’s ‘bout time for me to act like a rapper
We’re gonna need some really big beats for this rapper

Sub-woofers in the trunk of a Jeep like a rapper
So we can make the whole block rattle like a rapper

Like a what?
Like a rapper

When I smile, gold teeth like a rapper
I’ll walk around looking for beef like a rapper

Sitting on the hood of a car like a rapper
With a girl in each arm in bikinis like a rapper

I’ll wear a baseball cap like a rapper
Then I’ll tilt it to the side, like that, like a rapper

I will make hand gestures like a rapper
Not like a joker or jester but like a rapper

Like a what?
Like a rapper

Man, I hope you understand this
When I flip my lips like a rapper I’ve got the gift

When my words turn and twist like a rapper
Tongue tangle and mangle other rappers, like a rapper

You’ll see me out there in the streets like a rapper
With my sunglasses low while I creep like a rapper

I’m living free like a rapper
Making G’s like a rapper
Getting P like a rapper
Smell like weed like a what?

Like a rapper

Mana Junkie - Little Soldier (feat. Matt Mason)

Mana Junkie - Tell Us (feat. Narva9)

Tell us:
Such a sad song you sing, sir
Of world far and long gone away
Filled with castanets and windmills
The air spice heavy and tasting of honey

Do the stars shine there, sir?
Out there where you’ve been
Is the night dark like this closet
Smelling of death and sin?
Tell us where you’ve been

Did you feel the sweat drenched skin
Under desert skies of lavender and gold
Did it bake you into nut brown souls
Earthbound and old

Shall we hold hands and sing, sir?
Sing of times past, of wonderous might have beens
Of sealing wax, and kings

Tell us where you’ve been, sir
Sing me my dreams
Show me your sorrow
Let us lie here together, eyes closed
And feel the endless mystery

Tell us where you’ve been, sir
Sing me your dreams
Show me my sorrows
Let us lie here together, eyes closed
And feel the endless mysteries.

Loveshadow - Heart on Redial (with Mana Junkie & Airtone)

Heart On Redial.

Every Time I hear the phone ring
I see your number and I know
Try to breathe and keep composure
While I practice my Hello..hello…

Then I fake casual indifference
Like I was heading out the door
Seems what I say never makes much sense
Cause what I wanna say, is so much more

One Sided Conversation
Ime hanging by her wire
I feel the separation
But she’s got my Heart on Redial

And did you hear about Paul and Alison ?
And did you know they got a place ?
Works bin crazy but there’s nothing going on
Were two more rats inside the race

And do think well have a summer now ?
Do you think you’ll go abroad ?
I’ll be camping in the lounge again
Cause that’s just about all I can afford. !

One Sided Conversation
I’m hanging by her wire
I feel the separation
But she’s got my Heart on Redial
