You are not entitled to your past (it's that you).
Parallax view, you cast your shadow all around (can’t come true).
Save them all in your velvet record bag (fearsome too).
Can’t feel the inside, unfettered by the bond (white bomb blue).
All is well, no complaints.
You call this living, where do you live?
Curl up beside the fire…
Close the book and go home.
You see things one way, I see another–
No one loses in your game.
Feel the cold side of the pillow…
Wake up and enter the world.
Final destination: unknown.

Locked away from the world
Everyone is a number.
Changing two’s everyday–
the electrician and the gardener.
Deceit lies behind treachery,
old friends turn their backs.
A watch given for escape:
only a reminder.
I have resigned.
I am not a number.
Clouds of smoke obscure all,
Clear the air with your actions.
Sharp as a knife
Cut through the hearsay.
Seashore at noon
Waiting for the good news.
A response to your words:
“Everyone is a pawn.”
I have resigned.
I am not a number.

Try this shit on for size:
Legitimate lies...timid eyes.
Anne Gedes, "Down in the Garden" so while you wait.
Achient-pait (Patient).
You will be seen at a time convien–interesting bed.
On, still, life wears a hole.
Inside, life wears a tie.
Creating Infant-Infantry, for your life.
In and out of the mission,
Fail the test miserably.
Clever, clever doctors
Give you one to nine.
A race to out-fuck death…
Live long and consume.
Heirs, those hopes…
For your needs
When you’re gone.

Into the Sun

The ships left shore at dawn,
the sun was rising over the hills.
Into the sun, they went
to discover a new world.
Into the sun,
into the sun.

Paraffin Section Boston, Massachusetts
Ethan, Abe and Jon enjoyed making these sounds. We existed as a unit from 2001-2005 and again from 2007-2009. We performed
in MA and NH.
Some kinds words:
"Strident noise with stop and go melodies." - Punk Planet
"The use of jarring dynamic changes is an age-old trick of the avant-garde; the challenge is to make it new, and Paraffin Section succeeds in doing that." - Jim Connolly, Live Review
