about

I originally recorded Girl's Got Altitude for The Shivers. I'm playing around with a new mix of it for The Man Forgotten, with new verse vocals, more bass fills, and new drums.

lyrics

Twenty odd years I was stuck in a daze
Pulling on fixtures to get through this maze
Changed all my numbers and grew out my hair
I couldn't escape, I was already there

Well I lost my way; she said "that's okay"
The future don't matter outside of today
She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound"
Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground

Don't look down, don't you make a sound
Don't look down, baby, don't look down

This morning I woke and I couldn't see my face
I tore up my memories, did not leave a trace
I'm stuck with these numbers and losing my hair
There's just no escape when you're already there

She says "it's okay, don't we all lose our way?"
The future don't matter outside of today
She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound"
Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground

Don't look down, don't you make a sound
Don't look down, baby, don't look down

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
