Part One: Walk-On What do we do? We play our silly little tunes Trust our songs to you Might make you feel a little less blue Charlie Fleming - charity case a nobody, just a waste of space What do we do? Climbed up this mountain, but the car's at the top with melodies we keep true to ourselves - not even Alvy can make us stop Charlie Fleming - charity case was, is, and will be in grace Blake Grady, gettin' in the zone our sound can only further grow Father and daughter on the superstation carry out our thoughtful preparation and at the end, always ask for the Wolfman but it's she left standing at the end What do we do? They said to note the clever slate The Great Spirit's gloom out of Heaven, in Hell we reign Charlie Fleming - charity case drive the van from state to state Blake Grady - loyal at your side we won't strike until the time's just right Elive Cochrane, she's so happy to see you real names be the proof (punk rock changed our lives) Draco - just Draco...what can I say? y'all keep pushin' on each and every day Father and daughter on the superstation carry out our thoughtful preparation and at the end, always ask for the Wolfman but it's she left standing at the end ------ Part Two: The Ballade of Charlie Fleming Moved back home, singin' stupid songs days were long, nights were so damn hot runnin' the rides all day and night feelin' the knife, so I saw the light Drive up to the Stor-Mart after work get the paper, go home, and get my rocks off I asked the clerk - well, he went bezerk with his insults, it all had to stop White knight with blue hair intervened my rightful anger was't diggin' his scene with a push and a shove, we hit the shelves a new friendship was what we were sellin' Crazy things, illnesses, the light singing kinks, Shenandoah, his strife in Atlanta? Way down here?! a Cosmonaut! Diggers dig, Alvy fears, bands exalt! I bid greetings from Mystic Falls weird person on my mind, pain she wrought hey, I'm game for whatever you say I fell under her soulful spell I sensed inside that her mind she was hurt when I came out, I was quite unwell and I still dream of her psychic Hell Help me, I am lost I can't find my way out what I chose I cannot doubt peace of mind is what I've sought I'm so sorry, Charlie I have to die Father and daughter on the superstation carry out our thoughtful preparation and at the end, always ask for the Wolfman but it's she left standing at the end Cry as you come down, cry as you come down Isolate, farms go steady and I don't think that we're quite ready

Hello, we monitor the frequencies and from what we can see, you're on the edge of self-destruction we strive for no corruption, why we strive for that special spark it'll come around on a lark or so it goes... We cry a song of peace from the abyss but bickering's something you must strip We search for the thing that elevates you so you're determined to see the day through Hello, we reach out from the sea Surprised at your curious scene - wanna reach out and talk to us the sins of the father are the sins of the son - as the angry attack, we go on the run there's one world, don't screw it up or so it goes... We cry a song of peace from the abyss but bickering's something you must strip We search for the thing that elevates you so you're determined to see the day through Hello, we monitor the frequencies something about you gleams, not just a contradiction and you've listened, you're more than a devastator you cared enough to fight for her, and now we know... We cry a song of peace from the abyss but bickering's something you must strip We search for the thing that elevates you so you're determined to see the day through

She had heat stroke - we're unfairly yoked leave her out in the sun - she won't wake up I scour the perimeter - her sickness made us prisoner I swear to God I'll protect her - oh, even if it kills me first Here's hoping the light survives Here's hoping the light gets by Hold on, girl - we're saving you Hold on - you won't be through She came with cold at least five years ago My parents made us stay inside - I kept her in my sight I was bored immediately - stricken with Yossarian's deed I brought her out to play and her eyes rolled back like yesterday Here's hoping the light survives Here's hoping the light gets by Hold on, girl - we're saving you Hold on - you won't be through Mom and dad called me selfish The light's livelihood I thought was well Said she had double pneumonia She'd be dead had I not called 'em up That's why I feel the need to try to fix her 'cause if we don't get this, she'll be dead for sure Because at the end, I'm no good if I can't care for her livelihood Here's hoping the light survives Here's hoping the light gets by Hold on, girl - we're saving you Hold on - you won't be through

The battle's long since over, but war rages on I look o'er my shoulder, only comforted by song poor ol' Charlie Fleming, Deionychus misnamed tune to channel eleven, watch the channel grow today Lakewood's now a sound stage, the bridge in mass decay at the end of shooting day, I cry and drive away poor ol' Charlie Fleming, misfit vampire thirst still on on' eleven, watch the channel go even worse Gee, you may be pop stars, each and every one of you. I know y'all will go far - no shit, I'm tellin' the truth. Gee, you may be pop stars, each and every one of you. Y'all got endless smarts - I know, so now don't y'all be blue. As long as Charlie has Blake as long as [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] stay together for the people in disarray we'll converge upon the Aural Grace (TM). The battle's long since over, now war peters out. Jess in his Range Rover - I'll prove myself without a doubt. Gee, you may be pop stars, each and every one of you. I know y'all will go far - no shit, I'm tellin' the truth. Gee, you may be pop stars, each and every one of you. Y'all got endless smarts - I know, so now don't y'all be blue.

Ava's Dismissal 07:40

Crisp September day I was on my way, get educated. Stop at the CVS for a snack got quite a few classes - sadness. Got my books all out - a girl in doubt what her character's about. And an intern calls me in, sporting cheeky grins - make it Hell within. I can't let it go now - they lied to my greenhorn face. My life's gone to the cows - I'll think about this on all my days. Can't forget that Wesleyan dismissal commuters' no-epistle locked me out of opportunity Starin' at death in the factory. My counselor sits like the cobra's spit wants to make it quick. Thirst for cigarettes lungs gasp for breath - I'm dead fuckin' set. Says I'm too loud about my nowhere lounge - they can hear me across town. So they hand it down, I throw it on the ground pretty penny's never found. I can't let it go now - they lied to my greenhorn face. My life's gone to the cows - I'll think about this on all my days. Can't forget that Wesleyan dismissal commuters' no-epistle locked me out of opportunity Starin' at death in the factory. I can't afford your houses you find my pain arousing keep me dead in the water keep me there with my father this dismissal is my end you'd rather wish I was dead don't I deserve the same chance have my own city of glass? I can't let it go now - they lied to my greenhorn face. My life's gone to the cows - I'll think about this on all my days. Can't forget that Wesleyan dismissal commuters' no-epistle locked me out of opportunity Starin' at death in the factory. Stuck 'til death in the factory. I play guitar, but in your class, that won't get me far. Please give me a C so I can be finally out of Wesleyan!

I'm a secular "boy" livin' and playin' with toys they keep callin' me "boy" that role I'd rather destroy comin' out as the car my future's due for the stars they call my person a car helicopters through ramparts Who am I if I cannot be me? What can I be if I cannot turn dreams into reality - stuck as the Duke of Madness Motors when I'm really the Duchess of Prunes? I draw a bit here and there all in all, I think it's fair my proofs-of-concept are over there and I'm proud - why must you stare? the yellow thing is my pride the amalgamation aside you insist I musn't feel pride blend on in, hang my hat, call my pursuit a lie Who am I if I cannot be me? What can I be if I cannot turn dreams into reality - stuck as the Duke of Madness Motors when I'm really the Duchess of Prunes? Who am I if I cannot be me? What can I be if I cannot turn dreams into reality - stuck as the Duke of Madness Motors when I'm really the Duchess of Prunes? I've made too many mistakes if I'm something, I'm anything but a saint stuck as the moron who drew her friend away stuck in the Smokes with the skies all grey Who am I if I cannot be me? What can I be if I cannot turn dreams into reality - stuck as the Duke of Madness Motors when I'm really the Duchess of Prunes? Who am I if I cannot be me? What can I be if I cannot turn dreams into reality - stuck as the Duke of Madness Motors when I'm really the Duchess of Prunes? Duke of Madness Motors.

I let it slip away I hesitate, make a little break I cannot think straight the pathway contorts into black Do I call myself insane if I have to, Leelah calls herself too and for sad release I wait and I wait patiently Down to the river I go searchin' for the fountain Lamneth finally shows focus not on the screaming nor the deceit nor the tears Down to the river I go bathe in the still waters for sadness I overthrow for peace remembered fondly in select scenes I let it slip away I further hesitate, my wrist barely grazed I breathe just for a minute silently hoping, desperately waiting What did I do to me I cannot let it me, no escape that I can see sad release until splashdown I call to make my sound Down to the river I go searchin' for the fountain Lamneth fades away in ether it staves off my pain they say to launch myself into space and time itself sadness I reconcile through the aisle of starscapes and supernova wraiths

Well, it stops here nature's so fine and I'm bored crack open another beer and give some eccentric pain I'm the guard in the textbook the one paid to play the role my hugbox says I'm exposing crooks for their milk I sold my soul Why do I poke at their conceptions? Why do I spread misconceptions? Fade out...fade in...fade out... Haven't turned on the monitor the Flower Boy told me not to do it my interests are cannon fodder "an incomplete woman" makes them sick even though they're the same as me I get mad and show my power level after all, I'm their source of glee though they trap me in their digital Hell Why do they poke at my perceptions? Why do they offer misdirection? Fade out...fade in...fade out... Down the road I go pick up people normal and sane and we stop at Goodwill aftertold pick up broken Beta tapes have a picnic at Ronnie's look over the fragments of memories and I dream of a world and I dream of a perfect world Maybe they're innocent after all, it's just the Internet if I stop, I get my thread if I'm exposed, I'll wish I were dead Maybe they have a point I'll conform to make 'em happy I'll be miserable to where I'm going I'll head down the catacombs very gladly Why do I poke at their conceptions? Why do I spread misconceptions? Fade out...fade in...fade out...

I crawl to my old space through the printing of the page birthed through its naivete I've lost it all, but all I've gained and a man calls out to me he's just like me, just like me and all I can say, oh, is yes through that cues my happy end Twelve minutes out and I'm still moving and I'm still living and I'm still moving

Radar lovers gone for millennia Fell asleep until the Pentadecadia I don't wanna drive to poor ol' Hillsville until infinity welcomes careful drivers I wanna get some sleep for a thousand years but since I'm always wired, I can't buy a thrill Let me out Let me out Let me out Just let me the hell out of this small town that Less than Jake sang about

Beyond I journey to distant light they say I'm just a spaceman for hire but I don't like to think of it that way doing good so things don't get so dire it's mere duty - to me, the stars call my name And out I go to the endless dawn behind me, a ray with a pale blue dot and out I go to the black beyond leave it all - even what is fond I drift into the interstellar space satellites nonfunction drift on by out here it feels I'm less insane hydrogen ticks down to the end of time but I know I have a job to do wondering why this life had sold me out I want to think that I'm just confused I drive off, I don't make a found And out I go to the endless dawn behind me, a ray with a pale blue dot and out I go to the black beyond leave it all - even what is fond Chapter Two: The Black Beyond I drift into the stars, leaving it all behind lonely trip on my airship, go down the line Confronting the whole lot as they go insane convinced they can end it all with a bang I've been tasked to bring it all back alive what can a hunter do but slowly resign I'm sure it's all a trap, it kept calling for me not like I'd care, end this misery... Chapter Three: Breathe In, Breathe Out It's shaking...it's shaking... ...it's shaking...it's shaking... I AIN'T GONNA MAKE IT On board my rocket ship too late to turn back now I try so hard not to make a sound just to get through this little trip like the pioneers once upon a time new worlds they soon will find singing my danse macabre I am the Cosmonaut Breathe in, breathe out, you'll return and I won't doubt, you must be yearning make it through, pull it together, hey you got through the weather - you don't say? Mechanical sounds from the rust bucket falling apart, my luck not so well-spent I know I'm not crazy - it just makes sense I'll make it through, come down at the bitter end Breathe in, breathe out, you'll return and I won't doubt, you must be yearning make it through, pull it together, hey you got through the weather - you don't say? Get it together, man climb out from the sand we're part of one scratched-up band so the life we lead ain't too grand the Cosmonaut reaches forth unsheathes his rusted sword his soul all tattered and torn his spirit very worn Chapter Four: Something Meaningful I'm as useless as a Donnie DuPre can't latch to the old scenes in my dreams I'm obsolete the way life assigned me always working for free His accident wasn't a coincidence, I know to my surprise, I got tickets to that show I'm hanging on and it clearly shows and so I know, and so I know, and so I know the Cosmonaut takes off, and there I go, spaces naught spaces inbetween, misery of endless scenes Floating up and down, in the town, all around there's no thrilling sound, but a whine, can't be my time I must survive, so alive, so fucking cold smiling up and down, solo the Cosmonaut takes off, and there I go, spaces naught spaces inbetween, misery of endless scenes I'm coming down Chapter Five: The Return I drift down to the atmosphere and it shakes all around, what I fear the seers at Moscow wait for my transmission at this point, it's wishful thinking will I survive this brimstone death? gnash my teeth, make amends, and wept whatever is Heaven-sent is what comes next the capsule glows inside a deathly red I don't wanna die...I don't wanna die... I musn't run away...I musn't run away... I MUSN'T RUN AWAY! And there I splash down into the ocean! and I'm soothed by the rocking motion and I cry - I'm just glad I'm alive I'm glad the pain has substanded! I am the Cosmonaut!

about

so this is where demos for the upcoming album "Greeting from Mystic Falls" are being dumped onto for higher-quality audio purposes. most of the tracks are in a super-rough demo state, so while they do have somewhat fuller arrangements due to programmed drums and overdubbed guitars and caterwauling, they are not to be regarded as the completed product.

might as well make them public (well, so I can get feedback from r/IndieMusicFeedback, which has introduced me to some pretty cool tracks so far)

Intended listening order:

- Program 1: The Tale of Charlie Fleming (tracks 1-5)
- Program 2: Real Glycerin Vibraphone (tracks 6-10)
- Program 3: Special-Edition Vibrations from Mars (tracks 11-16)
- Program 4: Topographic Real Estate and Lapidot Trash (tracks 17-21)

update (11/17/2019): only one more song to go to round out the demo package. "Illness for Profit"'s been 86'd from the album, replaced with "Yellowhat" when all of side 4 just got reworked by virtue of me finally watching the gay space rock show.

update (11/19/2019): finally, main demoing is over. every song is not in its final form - definitely not "Clever Slate, "Duke of Madness Motors," "The Jungle," "Isolation," and the untitled song between "Yellowhat" and "Morning Clear." but this is the demo package. listen and weep. also, the close-to-final-but-still-cringey second version of "Clever Slate" but with a longer instrumental break for an opportunity for a spicy bluegrass breakdown has supplanted the scratch-track version of "Clever Slate."

and I finally updated that cover art. I can use Photoshop too.

* denotes song originally for the album, but removed. Still on the demo package in case if I change my mind.
