about

I brought in "BLT" (Billy's Little Trip). We had a Song Fight band— Billy and the Psychotics. None of the BATPs ever actually met (far as I know), spoke, or cut an Actual Album--but if we had, this would have been it:
soundcloud.com/batp/sets/batp-album

This tune won the round as well, which sort of felt really satisfying.
I love the lyrics because I was upset when I wrote them as I’d been backed into an emotional corner and the song was cathartic.

I couldn't talk about my issues then--but during that Nur Ein I had a few family members die in rapid succession, and a close family member went through a divorce; also I was going through some health problems. I told no one this secretive information because I thought it sounded like whining. Times were different in 2012 and I think I would take better care of myself today. Poor me. <3

lyrics

out of time. out of sight - so out of mind
and yet these skies were never mine to fly by

in he creeps--unexpectedly into your dreams
sleep cannot win when your shadow comes calling

uninvited. so I'll smile politely
and be just like they like me. no dreams are mine

she slithers in. you did not invite her
she's your unexpected guest.
uncovers all your secrets

'go back to bed,' she said.
(she'll make it go away)
all these nightmares in your head!
(fingers crossed behind)

in he creeps--unexpectedly into your dreams
sleep will not win when your shadow comes calling!

in we creep--unexpectedly into your dreams
sleep will not win when your shadow comes calling!
