about

Borderlines is a prologue, a prelude, somewhat like the scrolling chyrons in a Star Wars movie. It drops us into a life mid-life albeit a passive life at narration.

I've had the rough idea for Borderlines for years now, beginning with an automatic writing exercise I committed in 2014 and had originally called the first part of the song 'Spinning Out'. I wrote the segments as unrelated pieces of music originally but they just made sense together. That's the story of my art right there.

I tend to follow visceral impulses when I compose, I tend to choose my words based essentially on mouthfeel as much as anything and the name Borderlines stuck to this idea once it intersected with it. The name comes from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song, a B Side called 'Save the Population' that was an extra on their early 00s Greatest Hits album. "Blood and Borderlines be Drawn". It stuck with me and I never fully understood why. but I'm not here to question it, I'm here to make noise.

In perpetual revision.

lyrics

Time fading away: peeling back the minutes every day
Time fading away: borderlines are blurring into gray
Time fading away: we observe a specimen today

Shouting at the void, staring at the walls
Petrie dish in abject disarray
Storm is on the way, storm is on the way
A Crimson tide that can not be allayed

Pride stripped away/ flesh for debts that can not be repaid
Pride stripped away/ the origin of codependent rage

Storm is on the way, storm is on the way
Manifest another sad display
Haven’t seen the sun, haven’t seen a soul
Here I am, but I will not remain

I am the pain, body and mind
I am control gone in time
I am the pain body and mind
I am control gone over time

I am the years yet to pass
Never the first never the last
Hand over hand, draw the lines
Hand over hand, draw the lines
