1.	Flight of the Raven 05:30	lyrics
Through the tempest eye, twirl and storm Beaten and battered, broken and forlorn Through the hurricane despair, so unenlightened Yet despite wind's razor, still barely survive Never so cold as when in rain Never so complete sweating out pain Never so whole as when in the hole Never so complete when obsolete I'm drinking it all down, drowning deeper And everything is gone now, even the dream Through hurricane despair, so unenlightened Yet despite wind's razor, still barely survive Never so cold as when in rain Never so complete dripping out pain Never so whole as when in the hole Never so complete when obsolete Never so cold as when in rain Never so complete sweating out pain
2.	Games 05:51	lyrics
I am in the middle of another situation I am put in a hell hole, on turn table spinning too fast The way it always ends, seeking a joke to laugh to But the jester has just left and I have no more breath It takes a lot to understand The games the people play It takes all to figure out the reasons why It's hopeless to even try In the back room where the dice are played And the white light make things look sick I sit back, shattered, beaten and red While the rest goes all to hell The way it always ends, seeking a joke to laugh to But the jester has just left and I have no more breath It takes a lot to understand The games the people play It takes all to figure out the reasons why It's hopeless to even try To even try To even try
3.	Wishes 04:41	lyrics
Hidden along and miles away Perfectingly on this traveled scene A holding hand of flowers Mixing in with these moonlit dreams A toiled make-up, all to make over All to the sounds these pleasantries It's making my head rush, as if hungover In photogenic shot possibilities Moving along, yet still miles away Implodingly on this stuffy stream A line of crimson archers Shooting at this heartache scheme A shaking distraught, all too shook over All to the sounds of unpleasantries It's making my heart rush, as to break over With cinematic shot possibilities You say I'm yours to love forever The need eternally You keep in hopes of ending never With face to face possibilities
4.	Black Forest 05:55	lyrics
Here we stand, alone, as we have done so many times before And miles and miles away from touching you; Comprende, mi amore I get the feeling you need to relax in me, as I have done to you For so long, I need this feeling; Together! Let's run away together... (Let's run away) I get the feeling you need to relax in me, the way I've done to you For so long, I need this feeling; Together!
5.	Nature's Calling Part One 02:28	lyrics
Instrumental (with film audio dubbed in)
6.	Shattered Passion 04:59	lyrics
Pale figured, stand like stone; A statue, frozen alone Quiet bedroom, stand so cold She wishes for some to hold again and again But why throw them silence? And why be so torn? To have their love for a single moment Then leave them in the darkness once more? Shattered Passion on the floor Piece by piece you ask for more Shattered Passion's the only end Why fall in love to break up again Shattered Passion on the floor Just as it was, the same as before Shattered Passion once again You fell in love to break in the end I can't seem to find the answers; Yet I can't seem to turn away Your sorrowed heart: A painful master Love was love, but now it makes you bleed But why all this sadness? And why all the shame? To think the love you've given was a curse And give the ones you want the pain Shattered Passion on the floor Piece by piece you ask for more Shattered Passion's the only end Why fall in love to break up again Shattered Passion on the floor Just as it was, the same as before Shattered Passion came once again You fell in love to break in the end Shattered Passion on the floor Piece by piece you ask for more Shattered Passion's the only end You fell in love to break up again Shattered Passion on the floor Piece by piece, your life gets torn Shattered Passion came once again The fear of love brings hate in the end
7.	Nature's Calling Part 2 05:16	lyrics
Instrumental (with film audio dubbed in)
8.	The Mystery (80's static version) 05:14	lyrics
Just for tonight, will you stay with me And I'll let you in on everything Just stop and listen...to the silence Though the silence can mean something Tonight I'll say what you mean to me Tonight I'll be your everything Oh, I don't want to cause humility Just say the words and I will leave you nothing And I will be with nothing... And we'll be back to nothing... Oh-ha! You are a mystery!

about

The Return of Goth Girl was my fourth solo album, recorded in the summer of 2003, though, lyrically, it was written all over the place.

The album title was actually suppose to be the name of a collaboration I was to undertake, with a girl named Becky and another lyricist, who we will call M.D.; both of which worked at Denny's with me, on the west side of Madison, WI. Becky was to perform all the singing on the album, while I composed the scores and M.D. wrote the lyrics. It was to be on the lines of a Jullee Cuise / David Lynch / Angelo Badalamenti, union in music.

The intro track, Flight of the Raven, was primarily recorded for the album we planned to create. My singing was suppose to be nothing more than a concept track for Becky to follow and dub over with her own vocals. The last song, The Mystery, was another track on the supposed album, for the same reasons. In fact, there was an entire album of scores I had recorded for M.D., to use and dream up lyrics to (which he now has the only copy of). Sadly, as time progressed and we all went our separate ways from our work at Denny's, the idea of this album fell through the cracks. It wasn't until about two years later, that I decided to finish the album on my own.

When I originally finished this album in the summer of 2003, I revamped all the tracks, mixed them down and gave the album a more clearer, crisp feel. The first pressing I did on my own and was only at about 30 copies. I never sold them; I just gave them away to family and friends. I have posted this album up for free on various music sites (most of them shut down within this last decade). But now, here I am again, posting it up for FREE, for all to listen to and enjoy.

Please only download this album if you have an understanding for such bands as WEEN (especially with their early recordings) and My Bloody Valentine. It has a mix of Shoegaze, Electro, Goth and Garage Band sound. Also, to professionals, my singing is horrible. More of a cross between spoken word, and a tone deaf Dave Gahan.

*Bandcamp has a top limit of 200 FREE downloads per month, so grab it while you can before it is gone. If you get here too late, just wait till next month and try again. Hope you enjoy...or, at the very least, don't get sick from it.

Dark, brooding, sensual and smooth. Music, which I wish mine was. If you like the style of the band Diorama, you will love this. HASENFANG

Parties With Tina

Highly overlooked album. Takes me back to my 80's days. Very much couch-sitting & discussion party music. Very much belongs in a John Hughes film. HASENFANG

I Saw The Worst In You (EP)

Thumpy & Catchy . Something I would smoke cloves cigarettes to. Taking me back to coffee shop Goth days. Very audio-tape sounding, for a great retro feel. HASENFANG
