Lyrics

I have to live with what I know
with this guilt slowly melting my soul
and with every day, I keep rotting away
until the rats make a meal of my bones
there's no place that I can call home
just these four walls of metal and stone
all this time with no sun
to think of what I have done
drives me deeper into this black hole

the price of a candle wax soul
is worth nothing, all of nothing
the taste of the sweetness to hold
is nothing, all of nothing

when death comes to swallow my world
will I remember the beautiful girl
that I killed in a rage
on that snow falling day
or will I pass quite unknown form this world

the price of a candle wax soul
is worth nothing, all of nothing
the taste of the sweetness to hold
is nothing, all of nothing

	Jeepers This isn't the fist song you ever recorded, was it? You are a very good singer. Immaculate. Except don't clip the ringing reverb at the end!

The King of Nothing is back
I think a theme is unfolding in your music. Are you working on a concept
album? Oh, now I read you description and, yes, you are. Everything
works wonderfully on this track. The lyrics don't have the moment of
wonderful surprise all your other tunes share, tho. Did you ever listen to
Kevin Gilbert's last album (completed by his brother after Kevin's death)
that was a pop musical concept? "The Shaming of the True." Very cool
book comes with it. You should check it out.

The King of Nothing is back
Thanks Tobin!
I have many themes continually unfolding. There are quite a few items that I
have not yet revealed (cue dramatic soundtrack...). My website is almost
finished and mysteries will be unveiled soon... (dramatic soundtrack builds...)
I will definitely check out that Gilbert album. I loved his stuff. Very strange, but
melodically and harmonically approachable and tasty.

	Delicious Great rolling tune, disturbingly evocative lyrics, wonderful singing, almost completely washes away the disquieting scent of aqua velveeta. Bravo! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

	Delicious Thanks for the evocative comments and compliments. I'm not sure if anything can really purge the pungent aroma, and taste, of Aqua Velveeta... It is quite insidious... What does "ttfn" mean? I am at a loss.... Check out my latest song called Mighty Cracker Fly

Delicious
Back in the wide-eyed days of our youth, there was a story of Winnie the Pooh...
and for some bouncy reason, I liked Tigger's goodbye, which wasn't quite a
goodbye... "T.T.F.N., Ta Ta For Now!" And it being much more unique than say,
"L8R", I adopted it, and it has been with me all my life.
ttfn,
Drakonis (there it is again!)

	unbeleivable that you could have recorded this much in a 24 hour period of inspiration. As far as the song...the soul is worth nothing but the guilt is still there. Check out my latest song called Pigs Fly
