lyrics: And I refuse to sit through a movie that I didn’t choose So if I say I need you to get to the projection room Then can you meet me there tonight I got the manual to write Can you meet me there tonight I got the manual to write And I think you’d hate to sit through a movie that you didn’t choose So if I say you need you to get to the projection room Then can you meet me there tonight I got the manual to write The default b-roll super eight, hijacked by some old dirty tapes Into the ending stolen from What we had no control of Always been so curious Intellect alluring Does he know what I see in him The angles that I shot the film From the velvet chair To the room upstairs And I refuse to sit through a movie that I didn’t choose So if I say I need you to get to the projection room Then can you meet me there tonight I got the manual to write Can you meet me there tonight I got the manual to write And I think you’d hate to sit through a movie that you didn’t choose So if I say you need you to get to the projection room Then can you meet me there tonight I got the manual to write The default b-roll super eight, hijacked by some old dirty tapes Into the ending stolen from What we had no control of Always been so curious Intellect alluring Does he know what I see in him The angles that I shot the film From the velvet chair To the room upstairs

lyrics: Did you hear me all this time Did you hear me all this time When you fear you fear me No, you can’t see clearly Did you hear me all this time No, I can’t tell you where I went in So off the grid to be forgiven You laid me down in a museum Do it for me Can you do it for everybody watching Left on a bed and in a vision Like a silence with an ambition I never said the things I didn’t do it for Didn’t do it for Meet me where we cut off like a lost limb Gonna lose your life to hide a weakness Just open your eyes Human Hear me all this time Did you hear me all this time When you fear you fear me, oh No, you can’t see clearly Did you hear me all this time No, I can’t tell you where I went in So off the grid to be forgiven You laid me down in a museum Do it for me Can you do it for everybody watching Left on a bed and in a vision Like a silence with an ambition I never said the things I didn’t do it for Didn’t do it for Meet me where we cut off like a lost limb Gonna lose your life to hide a weakness Just open your eyes Human Hear me all this time Did you hear me all this time When you fear you fear me, oh No, you can’t see clearly Did you hear me all this time Did you hear me all this

lyrics: The one on me The one on me Those downward eyes A thousand pieces of my little mind Your hands wrapping around gold A cardboard thesis of a single life In this light You’re what I need but I left behind I can see who you are Can you hold me Can you hold Like your guitar Oh A thousand pieces of my little mind A cardboard thesis of a single life You’re what I needed but I left behind Snuck in your apartment Waited Separated You from who I know you knew you weren’t Closet crack I saw you go to work On me Closet crack Give her your v-neck shirt The one on me Those downward eyes A thousand pieces of my little mind Your hands wrapping around gold A cardboard thesis of a single life In this light You’re what I need but I left behind I can see who you are Can you hold me Can you hold Like your guitar Oh A thousand pieces of my little mind A cardboard thesis of a single life You’re what I needed but I left behind Snuck in your apartment Waited Separated You from who I know you knew you weren’t Closet crack I saw you go to work On me Closet crack Give her your v-neck shirt The one on me

lyrics: The music slowed down that night My world spun around black sky A balance why do we fight Deeply down and also high I was alright I laughed with and without wine Without smoke I closed my eyes Alone my body still opened wide Deeply down and also high I was alright I was alright I’ll miss you for the rest of my life I’ll see my little dress, your blue tie A heartbreak that was somehow right Deeply down and also high Oh, high Be alright Be alright When I see you in my mind I’ll hope you find I I just want us to be alright Deeply down and also high Oh, high Be alright Be alright Be alright

about

You’re standing in between the library stacks with a new book in your hands. You do that thing you like to do, with the book in your left hand, and your right thumb in control, flourishing through all the pages. Is there an introduction, because you’re probably going to skip that. Same goes for a prologue. Well actually, this is interesting, there’s a little sketched map a la Winnie the Pooh or LOTR, and the frontispiece is also pretty weird, are there going to be a lot of illustrations? When was this written, where’s the copyright, oh it’s a reissue, why, what is this? “The Dialectic”.

Maybe you’ll sit down in one of those big, germy, lovely faux leather armchairs and spec it out before you check it out. Pick a spot near the windows. The winter hardscape is fantastically harsh right now. Also, the steel mills nearby are echoing so loudly across Oakland you can feel it in the pit of your stomach bouncing through the steel front door and down the marble halls. Yes, definitely stop by the downstairs cafe to grab a café miel first, what were you even thinking.

The author’s Millaze, and the album is “Front Matter”, the third in the deconstructed book series, “The Dialectic.” Grounded in Bloomington, IN, and hailing from the Oakland of Pittsburgh, PA, her piano singer-songwriter dreamhop takes a full-on indie rock band turn in this industrial factory, construction zone, carpentry garage, and power tower mashup album hellbent on making debilitating insomnia a heartbreaking blast and a half.
