If You Insist 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Whenever you are home I’d rather be alone I watch you pace the halls Talking to the walls Lost in a fiction Stuck from the friction To break your addiction It’s gonna take a lot of balls If you insist If you insist I should let you get your way I can’t resist I can’t resist You are the reason that I stay Whatever you might say To make me turn away However much it takes Or the way my heart breaks Though you swing and miss I believe in this I feel it when we kiss The way my body shakes You have a bright future behind you If you insist If you insist I should let you have your say I can’t resist I can’t resist You are the reason that I stay

Witches of Los Angeles 03:14
lyrics

The old lady at the kiosk At the street fair In the last row Selling boxes filled with dreams For the nightstand Next to the bed Because my world is going crazy I need a potion To fix my head I'm sick and tired of the new day I need a coven To summon Old magic I found the right way To make it happen Old magic Draw the curtain And light the candle Old magic I hear the whispers from the cauldron Old magic Fan the fire The night is young The night is young The night is young Old magic The night is young Old magic I hear the whispers

Pick Your Poison 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Green leaves are turning red Quiver in the breeze These voices in your head Can bring you to your knees A slave to your desire So close but out of touch You long to feel the fire You love it way too much It’s time Pick your poison To find it deep inside Don’t fight Pick your poison And cast your fear aside It’s time Pick your poison To find the part that dies Right now Pick your poison To let the truth arise Sad things are in your mind Rising from the deep A memory lost in time Haunted in your sleep You tried to push it down To make it disappear But it refused to drown And now it’s always here It’s time Pick your poison To find it deep inside Don’t fight Pick your poison And cast your fear aside It’s time Pick your poison To find the part that dies Right now Pick your poison To let the truth arise

Winter Afternoon 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Everything looks rotten Crawling at rock bottom Culpable and wanton Everything forgotten When I had the first one It felt like winning By the seventh round Faces started spinning Summer sun Missing on a winter afternoon Autumn leaves Dying on the floor of my living room I am a strange deceiver Mix of ice and fever A glimmer of a glimpse A shadow in the dark A fiction that exists Only in the mind A storm that persists And carves a timeless mark You don’t have to be afraid Don’t have to be insane Don’t have to turn away I am reaching into you Reach for the hitherto I am reaching for the truth Summer sun Missing on a winter afternoon Autumn leaves Dropping under water in my swimming pool Dying on the floor of my living room

Kill Switch 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Go away Go away and let me know How we look How we look in the real world I don’t want to feel the sun Burning down on everyone I don’t want to see the light Exposing what I have done Waiting for a new twist Nothing that you won’t miss Your finger on the kill switch Dig another deep ditch And activate the kill switch Walk away Walk away and don’t turn back Leave me here Leave me here in the real world Hiding in the dead of night Watching from the shadow land Hiding out in the plain sight Head buried in the sand Looking for a new twist Your finger with a bad itch Fall into a deep ditch Leaning on the kill switch Cooking up a new twist I wanna feel a real kiss Throbbing with a thrill twitch Activate the kill switch Activate the kill switch Activate the kill switch

Good at Being Bad 04:18
lyrics
buy track
I feel apart once again Every time There I go You put a needle in my heart Voodoo doll As if I were a plaything Step into a new direction A bientôt my french connection I crown thy my Queen Rejection Got it down to perfection Dance alone in a thunder storm Sleep in a dream of chloroform You feel pleasure when I’m sad You’re so good at being bad Still have your number in my phone Will you call? I should know Ever since you stole my heart You rub it in To make sure I am broken Step into a new direction A bientôt my french connection I crown thy my Queen Rejection Got it down to perfection Dance alone in a thunder storm Sleep in a dream of chloroform You feel pleasure when I’m sad You’re so good at being bad

I Created a Monster 04:16
lyrics
buy track
I lost myself inside your eyes A floating cloud in distant skies I lost my mind inside your dreams The shape of madness that it brings I lost my nerve inside your mind Nothing left for me to find I lost my way inside your kiss Nothing else is quite like this Under your floating body Covered with foam Rising above the surface And out of our home I created a monster To learn how to be afraid To learn how to be insane To learn how to save I lost my life inside your head A soul that could not be caught dead I lost my breath inside your mouth And now our love is heading south Over your sleeping body Covered with dust You have to let me leave you It’s a matter of trust I created a monster To learn how to be afraid To learn how to be insane To learn how to save … you I lost my mind I lost my mind

Wrong Side of a Mountain 05:49
lyrics
buy track
I tried too hard not to swerve From the bottom side Of the bell shaped curve Ran so fast in the creeping sun But I just couldn’t overcome A smoking gun I’m on the wrong side of a mountain I’m in the spotlight of the darkness I’m being followed by a shadow Coming from the wrong side Power in the realm of higher An acquired taste that I Did not desire The planning stages of a ditch Looking for a way to scratch A better itch I’m on the wrong side of a mountain I’m in the spotlight of the darkness I’m being followed by a shadow Coming from the wrong side I’ve done everything I can To climb above the towering Crazy man Who rises like a tidal wave Drowning in the tears I refuse to save I’m on the wrong side of a mountain I’m in the spotlight of the darkness I’m being followed by a shadow Coming from the wrong side Coming from the wrong side Oh Coming from the wrong side Consider everything I own From love to hate and flesh to bone Consider everything that’s true From good to bad and old to new And now I’m left with ... you

Living in a Dream 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Her hand was on my shoulder So this is what I told her I know I’m getting older Time will roll you like a boulder These days are getting long Your force of will is gone You always get things wrong Mixed in your broken song Oh You make me want to scream Oh Living in a dream Oh You’re making such a scene Oh Living in a dream My hand was spreading ashes On graves of market crashes From phony winking lashes To how the wedding china smashes I know my flame is hot You know your shame is not My touch is far and wide You’ve got no place to hide Oh You make me want to scream Oh Living in a dream Oh You’re making such a scene Oh Living in a dream

about

We had started mixing these songs when covid hit in March 2020. At that time, we decided to hold off on completing this album because Warren wrote a bunch of new songs regarding the strange predicament in which we all found ourselves. That resulted in the album entitled Cave Diary, which we released in 2021. Now, we are picking up where we left off.
