This is a MIDI demo of a new song, quite a bit different than my other stuff. Obviously no vocals yet (MIDI vox would be interesting), but I hope to record this soon.

lyrics

Do you think they've wondered where I've been?
A ghost once there fading and finally disappearing.
None questioning its absence.

A forest animal injured and dying
With no memory of the injury
No conception of what caused its plight.

I'm reduced to my body, my brain.
SEROTONIN
The base of animal life is me,
Not alive by your (OR MY) standards.

My inhumanity bolsters her humanity
My death her life
And for what in return?

A forest animal injured and dying
Donate my flesh to the parasites,
The decomposers
Donate my flesh
I see nothing else

Dead Pursuits
by Caged Bird Songs

Think the ferocity, darkness, creativity, and intensity of bands like Orchid with the slower tempo and tonal clarity of metal influenced crust punk. Heavy, creative, and original throughout. Pensive
