Welcome back my fellow Alchemical maniacs. It’s been a year since I have been bringing you my musical explorations for you to enjoy. The past month has been an extended trek of Allied Forces sessions with the Skeevy Side Show which has been a ton of fun, but has lead me away from my favorite pastime, making up a movie soundtrack vibe and immersing you in that world. Well, this week is a return to that format with a modification of a show I had set up for you a couple of weeks ago when I had to air a rerun because our studio was getting a facelift with new equipment. Wow. It’s looking really good at Radio Valencia. This show got it’s own make over when I decided to merge the Twelve Monkey scenes into what clearly was a sub theme to the animal song tracks. It begs a question in the overall arc.
Do we, the human race, really deserve to be a surviving species? It’s a quintessential question as we continue to develop systematic methods of self-destruction and then end up fighting to counter them. Intriguing isn’t it.

This set of music is put together to be interpreted as single band generating a concept album. A double album rooted in the phenomena of multiple personality disorder. The characters are linked to the central persona referred to as “King”. Some personalities praise/fear/respect/protect the “King” as a form of self-preservation, others wish to slay the “King” and assume control, and few outliers that simply want to jump in the driver’s seat from time to time. There’s a hint of an external relationship with a possible lover/therapist that is engaging with these personas.
Even though I am presenting all the lyrical content here, this concept may seem a bit of stretch, and I suppose the imagination needs to be stretched to engage in this as I have intended it. Hopefully you will allow yourself the illusion and consider this, at the very least, a good soundtrack to a movie, and at best, the work of single artist.
The Imaginary Band goes by the name: Obsidian Masque and the album title is Overthrowing the Kingdom Within.
(NOTE: Obsidian Masque is the name of a real band, MINE, and though it is currently not active, it is nonetheless NOT Available to use.) I have allowed my radio persona the privilege of its use for this……ok…I know that sounds a little nuts, but I did come up with this story…..

Obsidian Masque: Overthrowing the Kingdom Within
THE FRAIL (INSTR.) (Nine Inch Nails)
THE BRONZE (Queens of the Stone Age)
I been waiting
Waiting under things that rise in the morning
I been holding
Holding back so long
You can own it, take it off my hands, do me a favor
Nothin’ wasted
Just fingerfucked and busted up all at once
I’m so lost out on the highway
With no direction left to go
Everyday sit up and wonder
Where it was I started from
The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around
02 PANIC ROOM (Riverside)
Used to be my Panic Room
The other side of me
Where I slept and woke by turns
And nothing seemed real
I was feeding on your life
Peering through the hole
And it scared me out
Someday
You would knock on my door
Sweet shelter of mine
I’m freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
I’m dying without
Cover up my twisted thoughts
Shattered all around
Muffled sounds
Recurring dreams
Melatonin smile
Used to be my 302
The other side of light
Trap of my own
That helped me deal
With what I lost inside
Sweet shelter of mine
I’m freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
I’m dying without
Sweet shelter of mine
***
I’ve tried to make self-portraits before
But they always turn out so contrived
I’ve spent too much time
Correcting light and shade
Hiding wrinkles
Blurring scars
I’ve tried to make self-portraits before
Through my eyes
Just see myself
Now I know
I’m not in denial
That I need someone else
To see me
SURE YOU WILL (OSI)
First
I bit you and spit you out
When there was a doubt
Now
I’m calling you when I can
What is a man?
I did it my way
I did it my way
I did it my way on the highway highway
Be yourself
By yourself
Get yourself a little green pasture
Keep yourself
To yourself
Save yourself
Sure you will sure you will sure
Give take
Crowd control
Can get in my way when I’m starting my day
Teamwork
Self-control
Was making me blue so I knew what I had to
Did it my way
I did it my way
I did it my way on the highway highway
Be yourself
By yourself
Drive yourself a little bit faster
Keep yourself
To yourself
Sure you will sure you will sure
THE AVALANCHE (Vola)
Do you wonder why you wake up with your head inside a flame?
Do you even care to notice the strings you bear?
Did you ever grab the centuries applying to your name?
The avalanche has spoken, what do you hear?
Run all the way, let me feel the earth come down
Crawl as you fade, and we feel the earth come down
Do you wonder why you wake up with a blade upon your skin?
Cutting every frame you follow and every fear
Would you tie a rope around the sun to see the march begin? The avalanche has spoken what do you hear?
Run all the way, let me feel the earth come down
Crawl as you fade, and we feel the earth come down
MR. COMPROMISE (Odd Logic)
I am, the one you want to know
Ask me anything and I will tell them
My whisper echoes everywhere they go
Arbitrator of the mind and soul
I beg for outcomes unheard of
I plead for things I’m not sure of
One day all sides may agree to love
Say you will and this ends
I live in middle ground
Where the mind’s always moving against the world
Faces and personalities
All sides defending the voices coming in
I beg for outcomes unheard of
I plead for things I’m not sure of
One day all sides may agree to love
Say you will and this ends
Searching for you, stumbling through night
Scaling cliff sides, wondering where you hide
Searching for you, meddling for light
Probing for life, seeking where you hide
Searching for you
THEY WHISPER (Beardfish)
I’m circling your conscience
Tip tap toeing slowly
Any day now
You dream the wildest dreams
The kind that fly by night
Any day now
And then when morning comes
You can’t tell me where you’ve been
Any day now you’ll let me in
There’s no way of reasoning
With a primeval mind
And the harder i try, the harder I will fall
And she’ll be running when the voices call
They whisper her name from somewhere
Hiding in clouds of conductive air
Though I’m kicking and screaming
I know she’ll leave me here
To whom it may concern
Let in the morning light
I’m drawn back in to your world
Where depression is king
You speak of dying stars
You say they started wars
Any day now
I crawl by your feet to heal
The powers you don’t know that you hold
Are the ones I can steal
Any day now you’ll let me in
You’ll let me in
You’ll let me in
To whom it may concern
Let in the morning light
I’m drawn back in to your world
Where depression is king
And I shall forever burn
VOICES (Alice in Chains)
Who am I, is this me
Am I one of the team
I’ve gone cold, hard to deal
Used to stand where I kneel
Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says
I want more, than I need
I don’t know what is real
Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says
Anytime I listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says
Whispering their names, faces, uniforms I’ve worn
And now that is gone
Always climbing, to fall down again
Holding onto everything that’s not what it seems
I’ve been told, dreaming’s free
Think I’ll go back to sleep
Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says
Anytime I listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says
Calling out the names, faces, uniforms I’ve worn
And all that is gone
Always climbing, to fall down again
Holding onto everything that’s not what it seems
NORMAL (Porcupine Tree)
Here is my car, my phone and my TV
I’ve got it all, but you can see through me
But am I here? It’s kind of hard to tell
I do a good impression of myself
But what’s normal now anyhow?
Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day
Prescription drugs, they help me through the day
And that restraining order keeps me well at bay
And what’s normal now, anyway?
Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day
Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way wish away each day
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little sentimental
Wish I was old and a little
GOLD DISTANCE (Instr.) (Between the Buried and Me)
COLD DARK PLACE (Mastodon)
I love your face and the things that you do
Make me warm sometimes when I’m away
I guess you’d say that at the end of the day
You’ll be the only person here that exists
You left my heart in some cold dark place
Where your love grows on a vine and I see it all the time
I didn’t mean a word that I said
When I was lying to your face about being alone
I’ve gone away forever
I’ve gone away
I’ve gone away forever
I’ve gone away
I reach out to touch you baby
You’re not there
You reach out to hold my hand
Please don’t you dare
‘Cause I’ve gone away forever
I’ve gone away
I’ve gone away forever
I’ve gone away
I reach out to hug you baby
You’re not around
You reach out to kiss my face
Please not right now
What can I say that hasn’t been said before
One hundred times before you took the dog
And I wish I knew how to breathe again
I fear I’m gonna die inside my skin
This has gotta be the last time that we fight
Or go at each other’s throats
Will you go, as I want to mend?
OPAL (Soen)
In your heart lies a devotion for starting pyres
To drown your brother within the mire
You pledged allegiance to gold
In your art, your words laid out in a vacuous manner
The mind is there but the soul is absent
With smoke and mirrors you reign
Time will show
Throwing your own
Into the fire
Vengeance comes
One day we’ll form a
Tidal wave
Come rushing all over and
Come tear down this wall of lies until nothing remains
Turn away, beware don’t be led astray
By vultures that turn our temple to a house of trade
Sleeper kin
A popinjay with a gaudy plumage
Proclaiming lies like a gutless coward
Until your senses are numb
Tidal wave
Come rushing all over and
Come tear down this wall of lies until nothing remains
Turn away, beware don’t be led astray
By vultures that turn our temple to a house of trade
And I know
Yes I know
That all this little things
Are coming back to haunt you
They’ll tear you down in the end
Colliding with your dreams
And burning all you stand for
Turn away, don’t be led astray
From false perceptions
No more lies, no more disguise
No false pretenders
Stand your ground
Don’t wander away
Don’t fall apart
Ask yourself, in trouble
Am I my brother’s keeper
WE ARE (Karinvool)
I know there’s something wrong stop making it up
We’re too proud to see we’ve lost more than our trust
And now there’s nothing left, well’s dead and dried up
Its disease has left a foul taste in our cup
It just keeps on flowing
And we drift on knowing
It just keeps on flowing
This babble from our mouth
Who we are I fear most of the time
Carry on shuffling in order and in line
Who we are I fear most of the time
Carry on whipping boy, stare into the light
Stare into the light
And it feels familiar for good reason
I want us to break the case we’re in
With one of the tools of this catatonic skin
Remove all the parts
I want us to face the shape we’re in
A world of confusion awaits our sons and kin
Lets reset it all
Lets reset it all
Well it stings and it hurts, is this how it’s meant to be
Well it stings and it hurts, is this how it’s meant to be
Well it stings and it hurts, a small price to pay to be
In control and rebirth what our future’s meant to be
Who we are I fear most of the time
So carry on whipping boy, stare into the light
I want us to face the shape we’re in
A world of confusion awaits our sons and kin
Let’s reset it all (we are, we are, we are)
Let’s reset it all (we are, we are, we are)
These words of wisdom come with lack of vision
This is the first day I’ve ever had to stand and witness
These words of wisdom come with lack of vision
This is the first day I’ve ever had to stand and witness
These words of wisdom come with lack of vision
This is the first day I’ve ever had to stand and witness
These words of wisdom come with lack of vision
This is the first day I’ve ever had to stand and witness
These words of wisdom come with lack of vision
This is the first day I’ve ever had to stand and witness
KING (Tesseract)
You died within me
The boatmen came to sail me down the river
Bind me up with visions of a blind man
I operate this way
Turn nothing into gold
Death on such an ugly day
You dine like a king on top of the world
You show us all
That forgiveness is the weakest call
And now revenge
Against that grudge inside your tiny head
Remove the crown of absolution
Let the retribution fly
The king has all the king has all
But words can kill and maim and take their toll
And you massacre my dreams at night
And eat away at every thought
Until we take control
The king has all totalitarian and carnivore
Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground
Until it’s safe to breathe and coexist again
Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground
Until it’s safe to live and coexist again
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
But the sun always shines for you
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
You’d kill to find me
But the crown above my head is deadly
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
CULLING VOICES (Tool)
Disembodied voices deepen my
Suspicious tendencies
Conversations we’ve never had
Imagined interplay
Psychopathy
Don’t you dare point that at me
Heated altercations we’ve never had
so I’m told
Yet guided by them all
Every single one
Psychopathy
Misleading me over and over and over
Judge, condemn, and banish any and everyone
Without evidence
Only the whispers from within
Psychopathy
Misleading me over and over
Psychopathy
Misleading me over and over and over
Don’t you dare point that at me
Don’t you dare point that at me
Don’t you dare point that at
Don’t you dare
Don’t you dare
Don’t you dare point that
Don’t you dare
Don’t you dare
Don’t you dare point that at
THE VAMPYRE OF TIME AND MEMORY (Queens of the Stone Age)
I want God to come and take me home
‘Cause I’m all alone in this crowd
Who are you to me? Who am I supposed to be?
Not exactly sure anymore
Where’s this going to? Can I follow through?
Or just follow you for a while?
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love
Ain’t no confusion here, it is as I feared
The illusion that you feel is real
To be vulnerable is needed most of all
If you intend to truly fall apart
You think the worst of all is far behind
The vampire of time and memories has died
I survived. I speak, I breathe,
I’m incomplete
I’m alive – hooray!
You’re wrong again
‘Cause I feel no love
Does anyone ever get this right?
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love, I feel no love
AEON BLUE APOCALYPSE (Instr.) (Tool)
OCEANIA (Smashing Pumpkins)
No one can love you
‘Cause no one can free you
Lovers can’t touch you
‘Cause lovers might reach you, yeah
I’m so alone, so alone
But better than a wretched world
Better than a broken pearl
I’m so alone, so alone
Better than I ever was
Better than a just laid cause
Night may keep you sworn
May bring you storms
From chest to stern
The journey’s blessed
The warnings circumspect
With dreams I’ve had
With dreams I’ve had
And still she’s gone
And still she’s gone
Night will fill your rest
Negate you best
With dreams I’ve had
With dreams I’ve had
Oh would I follow you
How could I have ever doubted you?
Sweet baby, nurture me
Sweet lady, if you please
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Just try the way on me
Try the way
Skirt the cliffs of your illusion
Find the faith on me
My mistake as the last remaining soldier
Was to take the place of you
Love the way
Love the way and learn
Try the way
Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe
Try the way
Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe
ALONE AT SEA (The Pineapple Thief)
This is our time
What’s to live for?
This is our time
Nothing more
Look to the sky
It cannot help you
It all melts away
In our drug addled minds
Oh, who cares, who cares?
Oh, who cares, who cares?
Give me your hand
And lets take it
Give me your hand
And we’ll dance to the end
Oh, who cares, who cares?
Oh, who cares
What’s on the other side
You and me
Alone at sea
And I know
We know
This is suicide
You can see
It’s you and me
So hold on, hold on
To this suicide
Give me your hand
And I’ll take it
Give me your hand
And let’s dance to the end
Oh, who cares, who cares?
Oh, who cares
What’s on the other side
You and me
Alone at sea
And I know
We know
This is suicide
You can see
It’s you and me
So hold on, hold on
To this suicide
CHLORINE AND WINE (Baroness)
When I called on my nursemaid
Come sit by my side
But she cuts through my rib cage
Pushes the pills deep in my eyes
(Eyes, eyes, eyes…)
The taste was much sweeter
Than chlorine and wine
And my doctor’s unable
Cut through the cable
Leads to my mind
(Mind, mind, mind…)
In spite of the winter
There’s ways to keep warm
Whatever you give me
Please know that I’ll
Ask you for more
(More, more, more…)
The day I stopped swimming
Came out of the tide
I’d never felt so uncomfortably numb
Here by your side
(Side, side, side…)
Black rose on the bed
Turning to fire
Black rose in the vein
Shine in your eye
Please
Don’t lay me down
Under the rock where I found
My place in the ground
Hope for the fathers and sons
Black rose on the bed
Turning to fire
Black rose in the vein
Shine in your eye
Please
Don’t lay me down
Under the rocks where I’ve found
My place in the ground
Hope for the fathers and sons
HARVEST (Opeth)
Stay with me awhile
Rise above the vile
Name my final rest
Poured into my chest
Into the orchard, I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn’t wait
Drained by the coldest caress
Stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death
All I see is departure
Mourner’s lament but it’s me who’s the martyr
Pledge yourself to me
Never leave me be
Sweat breaks on my brow
Given time ends now
Into the orchard, I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn’t wait
Drained by the coldest caress
Stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death
All I see is departure
Mourner’s lament but it’s me who’s the martyr
Spirit painted sin
Embers neath my skin
Veiled in pale embrace
Reached and touched my face
Into the orchard, I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn’t wait
Drained by the coldest caress
Stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death
All I see is departure
Mourner’s lament but it’s me who’s the martyr
LUNATIC SOUL (Lunatic Soul)
I can’t describe what’s going on with me
A different nature moving rapidly
Being halfway here and halfway somewhere else
My whole life starts to flash in front of me
I’m overwhelmed in joy, quiet and peace
All words I know are three-dimensional
I feel all troubles are gone
I feel all troubles are gone
Timelessness, ineffability
I glimpse the spirits of my relatives
I see the others, the being of light
Shifting through a tunnel, long and dark
I regret all those things that I had left undone
And I wish I could fix everything that was wrong
I wish I could tell you how sorry I am
This is not the end
It’s the start of something that I’m really scared of
That I’m scared to life
I’m scared to life
I’m scared to life
I’m scared to life
