Secret Attic 04:45
There is something strange I can feel it in the air. Light so deranged slithers without care. Sound so powerful it takes away the air. Words so powerful they take away the air. Here, we stand breathless, with a deep breath, we are selfless. Hear, sound the silence, become flightless, and reunite us. Here, we sit heatless, sharing thoughts and sharing speeches. Hear, the atmosphere rotate strangeness throughout the air. And I used to think I could be on the other side And I used to think I should be on the other side And I used to think I was upon the other side And I used to think I would be on the other side I don't blame anyone, so don't blame anyone This is my mistake, this is my only fate. Don't blame anyone, I don't blame anyone. This is my lifeline, this is my only time. Don't say anything, don't blame everything, this is the only thing, keeping me perfectly sane. Things don't have to be this way leave me to me, we'll stay the same if you won't ask, then I won't tell what will be condemning me to hell. Things don't have to stay the same leave me to me, or hear the pain and if you don't ask, then I won't tell what will be condemning me to hell.

Doors 02:09
Tell me not to worry and I’ll worry even more. Tell me every story, I’ll leave an open door. Don't hide your every thought, They're there for you to feel. Every situation you've ever brought, Will one day be revealed. So, tell me not to worry, and I'll worry even more. Tell me every story, I'll leave an open door. Tell me not to worry, and I'll worry even more. Tell me every story, I'll leave an open door. Tell me not to worry, I'll just worry more. I'm telling you this story, In hopes you'll unlock your door.

The Hunt 03:24
Picture yourself out by the sea. Over the waves, what do you see? I'm on a ship looking for you. What is it I have to do? Where are you going? It's where I want to be. Where are you going? My fish in the sea. What are you doing? It's what I want to do. What are you doing in this ocean blue? Picture yourself out by the sand. Over the dunes and onto dry land. I'm in the woods, searching for you. What is it that I still have to do? Where could I be? What could I do? Where should I be to be next to you? Who should I be? What should I do? What can I say to be right beside you? Picture yourself up in the sky. Over the clouds, does anything burn bright? I'm on the sun and I'm searching for light. Please help me make this feel right, Tonight.

Take Me 04:42
Take me to sleep Take me with you Don't let me go, don't let me go. Take me to sleep Take me home Take me to dream Take me alone Take me away Take me near Take me everything Take me dear Take me beautiful Take me reject Take me sudden silence Take me loving back Take me care free Take me care less Take me for me Take me for no less Take me for me Take me for best Take me for me Or leave me to rest

about

Michael Gaertner's EP, "-_-" is available as a super-cool and nearly weightless digital download OR as a physical version that you can throw at your brother/sister/colleague when they get a bit too uppity. The physical CD is encased in a sturdy Jewel-Case, the perfect weight for inflicting just the right amount of pain when thrown - without the tears and blood that can come from throwing heavier formats such as 180 gram vinyl... unless you hit them with the corner of the case. (Please, do not try at home). Also comes with artwork designed by yours truly.
