Covered In Blood And You

"My name is of no consequence. The important thing you should know is that I am the last who remembers how each of us, man and woman made his own decision. Some chose to take refuge in the great caverns, and find a new way of life far below the earth's surface. The rest of us decided to take our chances in the sunlight. Small as those chances might be." So soon just after you've gone My senses sharpen But it always takes so damn long Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened Fear hangs in a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory On the table, signs of love lies scattered And the walls break, with a crashing within It's not as though, as though I really mattered But being close, how could I let you go Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following Fear hangs in a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb with a thought, with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory With a careless memory, with a careless memory "But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole." I walk out into the sun, I try to find a new day But the whole place just screams in my eyes Where are you now 'cause I don't want to see you I think I'd die, I think you'd laugh at me I know I'd cry, what am I supposed to do, follow you? Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now I just try to forget you So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory With a careless memory, With a careless memory With a careless memory Look out Look out Look out Look out

You had something to hide Should have hidden it, shouldn't you Now you're not satisfied With what you're being put through It's just time to pay the price For not listening to advice And deciding in your youth On the policy of truth Things could be so different now It used to be so civilised You will always wonder how It could have been if you'd only lied It's too late to change events It's time to face the consequence For delivering the proof In the policy of truth Never again Is what you swore The time before Never again Is what you swore The time before Now you're standing there tongue tied You'd better learn your lesson well Hide what you have to hide And tell what you have to tell You'll see your problems multiplied If you continually decide To faithfully pursue The policy of truth Never again Is what you swore The time before Never again Is what you swore The time before Never again x10 Never again, again, again, again

Tilling my own grave to keep me level Jam another dragon down the hole Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren One that pushes me along and leaves me so Desperate and Ravenous I'm so weak and powerless over you Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China White as Dracula as I approach the bottom Desperate and Ravenous I'm so weak and powerless over you Little angel go away Come again some other day The devil has my ear today I'll never hear a word you say He promised I would find a little solace And some piece of mind Whatever just as long as I don't feel so Desperate and Ravenous I'm so weak and powerless Desperate and Ravenous I'm so weak and powerless over you over you fuck

Sing me a song, you're a singer Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil The devil is never a maker The less that you give, you're a taker So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell Oh well The lover of life's not a sinner The ending is just a beginner The closer you get to the meaning The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer And it's on and on, on and on and on and on and on and on and on They say that life's a carousel Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well The world is full of kings and queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams It's heaven and hell, oh well And they'll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls It's heaven and hell, oh no Fool, fool You've got to bleed for the dancer Fool, fool Look for the answer Fool, fool, fool

I pushed your buttons and you elected me to office, and-ah I'll keep on pushing 'til you can't think at all You pushed a button and could watch it on the television You stupid fuckers keep on thinkin' so small I'm sick of hearing 'bout the have and the have-not's Have some personal accountability The biggest problem with the way that we are doing things is The more we let you have, the less that I'll be keeping for me Well, I only stand for my side Never been on my hands and knees Turning out my hate for this one And I sign my name with a capital T Don't give a shit about the pussy grabbing bitches cryin' Don't really see what all the fuss is about Ain't gonna worry 'bout da'darkies pissin' an moanin' I'll throw you o'er da'wall an kick your ass out Don't try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person You'll never have enough to know what it's like You're only angry 'cause I didn't bring you up here with me Now nod your head because you know that I'm right, all right! Well, I know you wanted something but you forgot it's all about me There's a lot of me inside you but the bottom is where you should be Well, I only stand for my side Never been on my hands and knees Turned out my hate for this one And I sign my name with a capital T Well, I know you wanted something but you forgot it's all about me There's a lot of me inside you but the bottom is where you should be Well, I only stand for my side Never been on my hands and knees Turned out my hate for this one And I sign my name with a capital T

Here we stand Worlds apart Hearts broken in two, two, two Sleepless nights Losing ground I'm reaching for you, you, you Feeling that it's gone Won't change your mind If we can't go on To survive the tide Love divides Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways If they ever hurt you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched And went our separate ways Troubled times Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain Distant eyes Promises we made were in vain vain, in vain If you must go I wish you love You'll never walk alone Take care my love Miss you love Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways If they ever hurt you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched And went our separate ways If they ever hurt you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you

The closer you get to the meaning The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming Sing me a song, you're a singer Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil The devil is never a maker The less that you give, you're a taker So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell Oh well The lover of life's not a sinner The ending is just a beginner The closer you get to the meaning The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming So it's on and on and on Oh it's on and on and on It goes on and on and on Heaven and Hell I can tell Fool, fool I can tell Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer And it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on They say that life's a carousel Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well The world is full of kings and queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams It's heaven and hell, oh well And they'll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls It's heaven and hell Oh no Fool, fool You've got to bleed for the dancer Fool, fool Look for the answer Fool, fool, fool

about

"The only thing I have left is my art and my music."

Written in my journal, I had reached another nadir. The details that lead to that place do not matter. What does and did matter was what I did about it. Like so many other decision gates in my time on your planet, one choice lead to survival and the other lead to death. Only difference this time was that it was not a melodramatic, histrionic illusion but, actual palpable fact.

With trembled, uncertain fingers, I got out my tools and tried to make noises. I failed. My equipment failed me too. So, slowly I began to gather the tools that would not fail me. And there was a huge learning curve. And I needed a project to get me to scale that curve.

I had a lot of original songs that I had previously recorded and never published. But, I felt that using original songs that were not fully fleshed out would not push me enough and I did not want to risk having stillborn children because I could not learn these new tools. Performing cover songs has always been a part of The Coil Of Sihn, and creating remixes from cover songs as well. This seemed a better way to go.

Covered In Blood And You is the result.

Alex Rossi, my son, gave me selections to cover that he wanted to hear, which included Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and Black Sabbath. Journey, A Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails came from me. Each song has a personal connection but also represents each stage of my learning, presented in order as each was recorded, culminating in the last track's remix that Justin Fisher(of Glitch Factor and SmithLee Studios) and myself collaborated on.

The Coil Of Sihn Missouri

The Coil Of Sihn was formed in St. Louis, Missouri in 2002 by trans feminine artist Sihn Starr. Out of Sihn's journals came the backdrop for the music, influenced by Nine Inch Nails, Judas Priest, Crass, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Black Sabbath and Electric Light Orchestra. The concept is a world of trial and survival, The Coil, where freedom is only granted if you can escape. ... more
