Take me piece by piece, by now it's all the same This hunger that's deceiving me is causing all the pain I'll never ask to dissect you as you've dissected me To analyze my every move, to analyze me breathe Is this social just a game to you or is it company? Is my hand that is stretched out to you another thought to squeeze? Is the wording I am ranting off a blessing or a curse? Is the face that am reaching for a motion too absurd? Oh, how I want to believe Oh, how your wounds are discreet Oh, how silence brings a sting You've left your mark upon me Taunt me piece by piece, my feeling's come undone The pedals which this flower held are falling one by one I'll always keep a prayer for you and cards up my sleeve You're the first & last thing on my mind, as I rise and fall to sleep Is this mingling a joke to you or is it what you dreamed? Is my life that's given unto you another husk to bleed? Is the voice that you hear on the phone an easy trick to play? Is my heart which is held up to you no more than a display? Oh, how I want to believe Oh, how you're quick to bereave Oh, how the motions deplete You've left your mark upon me Is the quietness which you portray an angry gift to me? Is the solitude which you ensue a hint to make me leave? Is the absence you're delivering suppose to be a clue? Is the hope that I am grasping for, to go on without you? Oh, how I want to believe Oh, how you so make me grieve Oh, how I tear up and weep You've left your mark upon me (I want you to believe)

Honestly! How you're taking me Through these thorny vines of yesterday! The memories! Dream! Shake and scream! I want to believe That meeting you was more than just a passing gleam. Frequently, I'm left on the streets of rubble and rock, Distancing on miles complete. My energy is depleting me! I'll give you what I can, Though it's not much, I see. How to point it out? How to prove? I need more than words. I need you. The glare is on and the focus stays, Which makes me ponder on yesterday And I noticed all the love and the life, As I'm staring straight into your green eyes Oh radiance! Oh the brilliant light! Discarding it all upon angel flight And I care not at all what is on the reply, As I'm peering right into your green eyes This simple phrase, oh, which hooks you in, It's dangerous and lecherous; a mortal sin! I fumble through these visions of you. But nothing's more depressing than such simple moves. Story's come and gone! Story's through. Start another time. Start anew. My yearning is bottled up belief; What seems better off cast on glassy seas? But I'll anchor in under the moon rise, As I'm swimming down into your green eyes A noted hunch which gave us the fall, This carousel was the start of it all But I promise you; let my own truth die, As I'm locking sites into your green eyes Raise my sites above, clear blue skies. Rather frame into your green eyes [your green eyes] Oh cleansing words change this doleful heart, Who cares less if this world falls apart For there's nothing much more left to disguise, As I'm looking long into your green eyes A life of crud which has turned to gold; A cherry smile for a hand to hold? And there's always something which gives surprise, As I'm gazing deep into your green eyes [your green eyes]

Pure Shine 04:10
Behind the wall; The hard, mundane Experience which I did claim From shot to shot, from day to day; I was in gray, I was the same For living life, as scarecrows do And giving up, as dyers do Enticing words of "nevermore" Until I saw you walk through the door The rainbow scarf, a driving mood That flowing dress and leather boots Your tee-shirt with a smiley face A bullet hole, to mark it’s place And now the darkness closing on me fades away You’re pure shine! With a light that is reflecting from your eyes And what I’m seeing is celestial You’re pure shine! For I’m standing in the presence of divine Another time, another space; To make a move with solemn grace Your taken heart was taken then; I should have known that it would end For living life, as scarecrows do And giving up, as dyers do Was never in your humble ways Nor would upon your skin it graze A lovely smile, yet nevermore A fragile touch, yet nevermore A scented voice, yet nevermore Upon my soul you all did pour I found the beauty which makes my heart stop & melt away You’re pure shine! And the joy that I thought was lost is alive And though the feelings must be hindered You’re pure shine! And you're radiance-impressing all the time

How Sly 04:30
Gracing lead, ageless, with the stride all in you The mixed acts of courtship with mixed points of view The yearning, the burning, the aching, the churning To try and make you see, to try and get through The rides that we frequent, the dinner, the movies, The friends that we compromise The hurting, the flirting, the yelling, the screaming The running, the hiding, the lies So what I speak, is nothing to say And what you feel is nothing to sway And what we do is all just a play You take it all and give it away I'm trying hard, but you won"t give in And even though I'm nowhere under your skin It's true: You're the one that I see through You look at me with a smirking grin And even though the chances I'll win are slim It's true: You're the one that I see through A round about-tactics, with round-about ends To hopelessly reach out, to try and make mends How eager you listen with listen but don't comprehend How eager you glisten with sensual trends

The Long Run 05:09
Highway stretch, feeding on our yesterday How I mused with nothing more than that silent games we played Passing yellow; Onward, heading home And you resting through the way chilled me to the bone We're distracted, but together now And neglected, but together now Suffocated, but together now Amputated, but together now Moving onward, but together now Sighting starboard, but together now What I have feared, we're together now Although you're not here, we're together now Fading now, all my wanted memories How I held on to the lies that I led to believe Failing changes, failing luck & hope And above all, failing you, for things I couldn't cope Holding down my thoughts of sin Holding to my will to live Holding on all of what seems true Holding out on all the moods Watching sunsets fade away On this ride with you today Stroking your hair; why defend? Knowing this all soon will end
7.
How long will I take these misshapen words of failings? Entangled by this web of ill-forgotten days and longing? To times when we thought we had it all and nothing more, But never crossed a pattern to search for something more than what we were. When it was you with him we all had fun. The sands inside the hourglass were falling one by one. But as the times moved on, you both moved in separate ways. And my life was torn in two from your friendship set ablaze. A masterful wit and a lust which falls; A sarcastic tango & cynical waltz. No step-by-step or sleeping moves Have altered that which impresses you. The spiral downward in a want that calls; Why did we make it worse for us all? A silent moment, that you didn't know; And never will that moment grow. Night after night, I tossed and turned: A haunting glaze. It’s hard to keep emotions locked away from those you need. It’s even harder to stay friends with you, so logical and plain, When the residence that we all claimed is the place ...in which all our beds are lain Now falling from me, whispers in the dark And prayers from mumbled lips to someone only walls apart And thoughts of solitude, foreboding, cause it’s solitude with you. Why is capturing your heart the hardest thing one has to do?

The Beast 03:01
Step away, my beauty For the stench of me is foul My eyes are blood red stains of life My fur is matted down This black oil that moves through my veins Is just as thick as glue My fingers are protruding claws And moving towards you I'm so cold. I'm so cruel Forgive me, if I'm honest But you have led me astray To take this veil of refuge And make sure it's torn away To comment you, on how I feel; I'm a beast. You seem to move in silence Cause you seem to watch me move This twisted, shattered mess Who only wants to speak to you Your heart will take in nothing For I'm nothing in your eyes Heaven forbid I'm allowed Just five minutes of your time I'm so old. I'm so crude A moments notice to give My cryptic words of dread The monster that I am Has let it all go to my head To come at you, with this ordeal; I'm a beast To come at you... I'm a beast.

Gut-drop and Gut-rot Cup after cup Breathing you in second hand Pen motions draw Feeling and reeling Watching you reading Observe you drinking Cup after cup [Stay!] [Stay!] Hallowed yet unfulfilled Cup after cup Eating every word you say My stare prolongs Dreaming and scheming Laugh through the evening As we’re refilling Cup after cup [Stay!] I’m happy just being next to you [Stay!] Don’t go away [Stay!] I've never felt this calm and anxious [Stay!] For you always

UPDATE [04/02/2020] - REMASTERED VERSION.
Bolder tunes, new cover.

UPDATE [07/28/2018]: I have found the missing three tracks and have uploaded them in unpolished and in their non-mastered form. You can now listen to How Sly, as well as my opening and closing tracks, both of which are covers by Tom Waits and Beck. In respect to the artist's copyrights, I will not post up the lyrics to the covers I have done. Regardless, enjoy.

I have dubbed Liaisons as "The Cursed Album". Its story is a twisted one. Since day one of recording this album, it was nothing but trouble. The M-BOX I was using (with my new Pro-Tools; clueless on how to work it), had no amp, so I could not hear anything I was singing. Both before and after the album was recorded, I had to reformat my PC. Some tracks were lost, along with another album I was working on. I then had to remix it through a BOSS BR-8, which created loss in the sound quality. I could no figure out how to tie the BPM from the synth to the Pro-Tools, so about 95% of the arpeggio and ALL keys you hear in this album, is me playing it with my own fingers, live; no programming. Yeah, it took a few takes. On top of it all, a person, as to whom one of the songs is about, died before I had even finished recording.

Once the album was FINALLY finished, I posted it up on as many sites as I could; fileden, megaupload, etc...all of which are now dead sites (you cannot download the album there anymore). When I loaded a few tracks to youtube, the sound quality was so distorted, it sounds more like static than a song. My myspace music site will no longer log me in, no matter how many times I try to get in touch with myspace to fix the issue. You can hear the whole album for free there, but no download. And, to top it all off, I cannot seem to find any copies of the album..as in anywhere.

So, the music you are hearing is not even the final mix. It was off some tracks I posted up on reverbnation, as to let some friends hear what I was doing. This is the unpolished tunes...and only five of them, at that. The other two tracks, I had to rip off those youtube videos, so it is the LOW quality version. There are also three more tracks completely missing from this bandcamp mix, due to me not finding any copies around.

So, there you have it...if this album isn't cursed I don't know what is. Be sure to listen with a cross in your hand. Just in case. ;)
