You know that he's got me My brain is all messed up And all of my dreams are Falling out at my feet I said I wished You could save me But I'm so incapacitated He went and told me You're all a lie Can you even hear me? Set me free... I chase my tail Go after the easy meat He tells me there's Nothing more to you Than there is to me Set me free... Father won't you Come and save me? They all hold me close Talk to me, tell me Listen not, they say Wickedness is in the air And this one to whom you pray Was never really there Set me free... Father won't you Come and save me? You know that he's got me My brain is all messed up And all of my dreams are Falling out at my feet

Candy 05:31
Lies, you're my Pride and joy, dear I'm gonna make you cry Take away everything Give me some time I'm gonna make you sing Come on You know you want it So let's go Don't you listen to him I've got everything you need Little boys want candy Little girls just wanna bleed He'll tell you lies Cause he ain't got The things you need Just take my hand, my darling I'm gonna make you fly That kind of purity Is not the stuff Of which you dream So come with me, dear I'm gonna make you scream Don't you listen to him I've got everything you need Take the worthless Take the greedy Take the children Take the needy Take the people Sight unseen Pick the bodies Pick them clean It's no surprise, my dear He told you you'd be there Why do you cry, my dear? You know how much I care

Girls 03:02
She's a real tease Leave you dangling Out in the breeze Waiting for the big squeeze She won't say please And she never agrees That a woman's place Is on her knees I hate you fucking little girls Oh, she's got class Carries herself with poise And all that other trash But I don't care Cause she's got a nice ass And if you wanna catch her You'll have to run fast Why do I need you fucking little girls? I hate you fucking little girls

Give It Up 02:43
She says I can't get it up Long enough, just to please her But the guy next door does the trick She'd better give it up Cause it's my turn to squeeze her And I don't care About some other guy's dick It's a tragedy Cause I don't wanna do this But you give me no choice, my dear I'm gonna give you up Cause I don't want to need you In the morning you ain't gonna be here I left you out By the curb with your suitcase Only you were inside it, my dear They're gonna pick you up With the trash Monday morning When he comes, you ain't gonna be here And if the neighbors ask Hey, what happened to your girlfriend? I'll just tell 'em that you're Out with your friends That's not really true Cause I know where you're off to And you ain't coming back here again I am harder than a rock Who the hell are you to talk? And fuck that guy who lives next door The bastard went and made my girl a whore She says I can't get it up I've gotta give her up She says I only get it up Long enough, just to tease her But the neighbor sees Her through to the end She'd better give it up Cause it's my turn to please her When she's gone She ain't gonna come again I am harder than a rock Who the hell are you to talk? She says I can't get it up I've gotta give her up

You tell me lies And you fuck with my head You make me wish I was somewhere else Instead of this place I've gotta break free You make me forget What it's like to be me You're out of your mind Get out of my head I've been burning my time I've been living in the red But I know there's a way I try to break free And of all the people You had to pick me You push me around I push you instead I try to forget you But you're still Stuck in my head Baby, you're still Stuck in my head You knock me down You say it's my place Woke up from this dream With your blood on my face But I'm gonna get you And you're gonna cry Cause one time, I loved you But now it's 'goodbye' Get out of my mind Get out of my head I try to forget you But you're still Stuck in my head Baby you're still Stuck in my head Follow me for a second here... Hector was a good boy Didn't really want to play But she tied him To the bed post And took all his toys away His mother fed him vitamins To make him big and strong And Hector killed the little bitch And then, he wrote this song Get out of my mind Get out of my head I try to forget you But you're still Stuck in my head Baby you're still Stuck in my head You push me around I push you instead I try to forget you But you're still Stuck in my head Baby, you're still Stuck in my head You're still stuck in my head

Ministry 03:15
He's gone and left you Says that you can't relate And open up a little Stuck against my skin There's something slippery Spark, a shudder Deaf and damp and waiting for a breath Before I'm in again And all the murmurs in the world Are just a whisper in my ear I'd rather stay right here I swallow sick And beg forgiveness Don't you know I've aching penance knees At night I bow my head I know he said That you don't understand I hear you whisper in my ear I'd rather keep you here Don't want to give you to nobody else There's something slippery Spark, a shudder Burning ears and keenly listening Like the animal I am I darkly wait Against the rhythm Deaf and damp and waiting for a breath Before I'm in again And all the murmurs in the world Are just a whisper in my ear I'd rather stay right here I want to keep you all to myself Don't want to give you to nobody else

She says she don't need it A man who can think for himself Is hard to find nowadays She says she don't want it But I think that I'm About to show her my ways Keep your pants on Don't you ask me for this Time and time again Keep on begging me You'd think your dick Was your only friend It's kind of pitiful The way you wait up For me at night But someday, I'm gonna make it right She don't want it She don't need it She don't need anything

Baby, put your clothes on It's time to go home Cause I've done some thinking lately And I really think I'd rather sleep alone It's really nothing personal, babe, but it's you Oh, I'mma make this short and sweet And girl, when I'm done You had best retreat Whoa, baby we are through Baby, it's all you Babe, it can't be me Baby, can't you see? You and me was fun for a while But it died And I'm sick of tagging along with you When there's other places I'd rather ride Baby, cut your losses It's time to move on And girl, I ain't gonna say this again Step off, get back, I ain't your friend Whoa, baby we are through Baby, it's all you Babe, it can't be me Baby, can't you see? There is nothing I can do It's all up to you Baby, don't you know? I've gotta let you go You think you've got me all figured out But I'm gonna cut you down No, baby, you can't fight it And those times you strung my pride up and down Well, I got some news for you And I don't think you're gonna like it I said a-one, a-two, baby fuck you Two, three, baby fuck me Whoa, baby we are through Baby, it's all you Babe, it can't be me Baby, can't you see?

Such a Mess 03:30
Your sex is Dirty poetry I never had a choice, That I could see Really all I Want to do it sing But sweetie, I can't Do a goddamn thing There's something Stuck up in the Corner of my brain I pick the pieces When they fall Out in the rain But baby Don't you forget about me You know I've always Been the one That's really free

about

The Solomon Project is my first true album. For years I had written and produced demos (first keyboard and bass instrumentals, then synth, and finally guitar tracks), but I never used my voice. I didn't consider myself a singer. But eventually, I found myself wanting to produce finished tracks with vocals. I pushed myself. This is the result. It's not perfect, but I'm still quite proud of these songs.

about

Ian Marquis Portland, Maine

My songs are tiny ecosystems: self-sustaining, self-contained, intricate, and densely layered. I'm captivated by found sound and immaculate production. I sample my own work. I chop up my guitars and create arrangements I could never have played. I treat my voice like an instrument, pushing and pulling it in otherworldly directions. I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles. ... more
