it runs almost 9:30 mins. thanks for giving a listen.

drowning out the screams of my own insanity by frank miller

                       1893  drowning out the screams of my insanity ©


my life has rarely been of joy
missed out much since i was a boy
watching others have a full life
never having kids or a wife
i wonder
yeah i wonder


i wonder how it might have been
what it might be like
so much time slipped away
as darkness filled my days
the sun never shined
and i was blind
by something i could not perceive
all i could do was grieve for myself


i had absolutely no help
i had no life, no love, no history
secluded from what might have been
oh how helpless i was then
lonliness was my only friend
yet i still try to see
the good things


most of my life
nothing of reality
drowning out the screams
of my insanity
keeping myself busy
with minimal to nothing
trying not to flip out


one day as another
they're wedged assunder
life is as low
low as it can go
no where to go
no love to know


and now i feel bad
about what i never had
all i had was sad

why?
i don't really know the reasons why
i tried so hard to die
and all the time i never could cry
seemed like it was my time
but i held on to what was left of my mind
cause i just wanted to cheat death
so i might have a short time to actually live
live the life i've never known
before


keys solos


you can't always fix yourself
but do the best that you can
don't let mental illness
blot out the life that you had

realize you are not alone
realize you have value
realize that you can overcome
yes you can overcome

ahhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhh
this will never invade me anymore
this will never walk in my door
the rain, and gloom and doom embarks
but not in my mind and my heart

the only cure that was for me
was to dig in and help myself
so that once i came to see
it was my all in my health
and not that i was worthless
not that i was hated
not that i was a low life,
according to some!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

drowning
out
the screams
of my
insanity!

Epic prog rock, Frank!  This is "insane" on a positive way! Wow!

[Hook]

Some crazy, proggy madness you got going on, very cool stuff! Not the happiest way to get my day going but a nice dose of riffalicious rock.
on!

[AndyR]

Wowsers! - that was quite some trip. So much so I went on it twice.

First time I was brewing the coffee, so I was listening from the other room. I actually started the coffee because, well, I thought it was going to go on a bit... but I kept hearing all this STUFF and poking my head round the corner to hear better.

Now I'm sat down with coffee, biscuits, and the lyrics.

It's a masterpiece!

How did you cram so much into it?
What on earth made you think it was a good idea to do so?
And, more importantly, why/how does it work so well?!

Loved it.

[Groundy]

Nice one Frank, I listened to the first half this morning but had to go out so I have just listened to the rest....Class......

Wow.  That is a big sound, Frank, and a big song.  How long does it take you to do this?

Epic stuff.

thanks redler!
thanks hook!
thanks andyr, it is just my concept of how to write music. i just improvise on guitar and take it from there.
thanks groundy for the half listen!
thanks chapperz66, this probably took a lil more than 2 weeks. but i rarely work on music on fri., sat., and during the weekdays i am often working on more than one song. right now i am working on 2 at a time.

[Jarle]

This was quite a journey. It's amazing how you can come up with all these ideas and put them together in such an epic piece.

Well done.

[bruno]

Another mammoth piece, listened to this earlier. This reminds me very much of early Yes. Excellent Frank.
