about

Presented here for the first time anywhere is the original home DEMO version of "Mirror Glass Reality" which would later go on to appear on 2010's "Sunlit in Sin EP". This version is RAW, STRIPED DOWN, & A BIT MORE ORGANIC then it's final successor. It's funny before listening to these versions again I had forgotten how much of a hard time we had had getting our bassist to come over and record his tracks at the time. I think the reasons were something akin to "I'm trying to complete Final Fantasy VI" & "I'm mid season on Avatar: the Last Airbender and need to finish it." So needless to say, there is no bass on any of the home demos from that time. However, his dope deep bass lines were gracious enough to be present on "Sunlit in Sin"'s version. ENJOY!
RECORDED 2009

lyrics

Mirror Glass Reality
Words: Thompson * Music: A. Gonzales

Staring through the burning arch / Watching flames dance with air / My hands are tied behind my back / Feel the cool air down my neck / The hairs rise on my arms / There’s a chill in my veins that won’t go away… / It’s the Tick that makes me talk… / About the bad thing I do…/If I wasn’t me - would I be you? / And if I was – would you be me? / See how confusing it be?? / Little stains try to ruin me / Gotta scrub to keep clean / I don’t know what’s becoming of me / Grease – Stain – Brain – Drain / Don’t judge the jury / Feel the fury of a man at wits end / Cut off both hands - Just to prove / That this world - won’t let me loose… / It’s the Tick that makes me talk… / About the bad thing I do… / If I wasn’t me - would I be you? / And if I was – would you be me? / See how confusing it be? / When you live in a mirror glass reality… / I’ve cleaned my back for you stab / I’ve cleaned a knife for you to use / A sharpened tool lies in the heart / Break the glass open in a time of need / Grab my gift to you… / I’ll look away so you feel less guilt / A sacrifice for those who want more, / After all, that’s what friend’s are for… / It’s a mirror glass reality… / It’s a mirror glass reality… / Grease – Stain – Brain – Drain / Don’t judge the jury / Feel the fury of a man at wits end / Cut off both hands - Just to prove / That this world - won’t let me loose… / It’s the Tick that makes me talk… / About the bad thing I do… / If I wasn’t me - would I be you? / And if I was – would you be me? / See how confusing it be? / When you live in a mirror glass reality…
