The words forced their escape from what’s inside/ I could no longer hide/ Always kept safely in my desk/ Your pain revealed the rest/ Thrown away I took the best/ I just knew it was true/ The darkness greets me/ Love went drifting my love was gone/ My love was sleeping when all went wrong/ Love was wishing our love was strong/ Love was sleeping when all went wrong/ I was torn in five directions/ And you showed me I belong/ We cut right through/ Now it’s time to show you too/ We’ve been forced without direction/ Now we can fly/ Towards that treehouse in the sky/ I’ve found every reason why/ It’s right in sight your light at night/ You showed me quickly just what’s out of reach/ That glitter spray repeats/ All those missing parts belonged/ Just assembled all too wrong/ Found your branches to climb on/ I just knew it was true/ The darkness greets me/ Cut right through/ I want to show you too/ Torn in five directions/ Now we can fly/ To the treehouse in the sky/ I know every reason why/ I know what’s true/ And I want to show you too/ We’ve been drifting through the darkness/ Now we can fly / Towards that treehouse in the sky/ I’ve found every reason why/ It’s right in sight your light at night

Why does the rain keep falling down on me/ I’m taking shelter under this big tree/ Why does the pain keep striking down on me/ I’m standing here unshielded can’t you see/ It’s the branches/ So empty/ No fruit for me/ You have no leaves/ Why can’t you see the forest through the trees/ That’s not the way this life is supposed to be/ Why don’t you hear this storm will have its say/ I’m watching all our branches break away/ You’re empty/ No good for me / Why can’t we see that you’re no good for me/ Storm has it’s way no shelter here you see/ Outside we hear destruction’s pouring near/ What’s left to blame this pain reflects our fear

Closed Up 03:08
Waited for this moment/ Saw you weren’t awake/ Thought that we could make something/ Better than all of our big regular mistakes/ And I know/ I know we’ve sung this song before/ I know/ I know I’ve pushed you out the door/ And I know we go fly off like rockets/ There’s nothing left here in our pockets/ This hot sauce love note heats the day away/ Nothing left to say but we’re alright/ All right/ Closed up fold up tuck it all back in/ Stood here through the torment/ Shaken right awake/ Knew that I would face something/ Way bigger than all of our/ Repetitive mistakes/ And I know/ The streamers still fly off the end/ And I know we’re tangled up and can’t pretend/ I know that wind has flown before us/ Way past that song that’s lost its chorus/ We’ll run back kick back thoughts trip our attack/ There’s nothing left to say but/ It’s alright all right/ Closed up fold up back and we begin

about

I'm so proud to finally plan release of another brand new Chiasm album that is fully mine along with this intro EP including remixes by artists I truly adore!!

The first on this remix collection is by Tom Shear of Assemblage 23, whom I've seen perform and opened for before. It was a great experience I won't forget!! He absolutely has a melodic understanding that is unusual with many industrial artists. I appreciate his love of ingenuity and that is essential for what we do :)

The second track is a short edit I did of the original (yes it's not lengthy.. but its significance is worthy!) ..just an extra taste of what's up next! Check for dancing Squirrels !!

The following is from Jan Dewulf of Mildreda (Belgium- also why does Belgium get all the good stuff??) See Rohn-Lederman and 242..anyhow!!...Mildreda's strong drums and Industrial presence is Impressive with a captial "I"!!!

Next up is an artist I've known in Detroit (Don Gransden as G-Actual) since I began programming! He has continued live as drums with some local projects but found a space here to showcase his amazing synth work!

After that is a Chiasm Bonus Track!*** (flip the sirens!!) - "Closed Up"! :) It's like sparkly sound bits for unicorn Tupperware containers that feed you with excitement and beautiful glitter ..your take-home for later!!


Then.. it's the Chicago hi-speed mastermind, "hEADaCHE!!!" (wHAAAttt?) Yes, it's supposed to sound like your cat just flew through a wormhole to another dimension, and you're Welcome :) You may want to check on yours..

Finally, the enigmatic and highly industrial :10:.. There's nearly a catalog of amazing Chiasm remixes if you look back, but this one could be my favorite. It's dark and enigmatic and gorgeous!!


Thank You all again for listening and supporting and working so closely with me to create a fun and cathartic moment we can share. You all know what matters. :)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)
