In Your Head 04:55
lyrics

The words are finally aligned The feeling that was left unkind The rumors that were never said Were only stuck inside your head In your head -- no one can save you In your head – no one can save you now In your bed – no one can touch you In your head – no one can touch you now The hour glass is floating down The best is sleeping underground The rain is turning into rust The mountains crumble into dust In your head -- no one can free you In your head – no one can keep you down In your bed – no one can hold you In your head – no one can hold you down No one loves you No one knows you No one loves you more than me No one sees you No one feeds you No one needs you more than me In your head In your head In your head – no one can touch you In your head c2010 By Wishnefsky

Ghost of Brookside Drive 04:22
lyrics

I used to be part of this I used to live within these walls Now I flicker in the candle-light The living souls couldn't heed my calls Love – Is the only thing that’s left of me Love – Is the only light that shines on me I vanish in the sunlight I vanish like a puff of smoke I chose to remain here Fell asleep and never woke Love – Is the only thing that’s left of me Love – Is the only light that shines on me Love – Is the only thing that’s in your eyes Love – Is the only light that ever shines c2010 By Wishnefsky

Completely Fucked Up 05:12
lyrics

I've been talking to the wall Because it always listens Haven't seen the sunshine Or the moonlight glisten The nurse is coming With the great syringe They hold me down She puts the needle in ***** Here I go again Thoughts racing far and wide As if an atom bomb Has detonated inside Here I go again I'm burning out like wax Non-stop acceleration Every dial at the max ***** Everything is flawless All my needs are met Haven't seen a human Since I smashed the TV set ***** Here I go again Haven't slept in 7 days Cover me with kerosene Tonight I'm going up in flames Here I go again Spinning like a top It's no exaggeration I just want this shit to stop c2010 by Wishnefsky

You'll Never Work In This Town Again 03:42

Cheeks are puffy Eyes swollen Socket black and blue In his office After hours He met with you You’ll never work in this town again You’ll never work in this town You’ll never want to be seen again Until you bow your head down North Dakota In the winter Fields turn to ice Snow is falling He is calling Just close your eyes If you don’t get with the program now You’ll never work in this town You’ll never walk in the sun again Until you bow your head down You’ll never work in this town again You’ll never work in this town Nice to know you Don’t bother coming back Until you bow your head down c2010 by Wishnefsky

Saved By Tomorrow 04:26
lyrics

I see your face is red Was it what I said? Maybe I should keep my mouth shut For such a tender lass You're living in the past All connections should be cut Saved by tomorrow Couldn't come here soon enough Save all your sorrow Save it for tomorrow You know I hate to delve But you were only 12 When he took your rose away That was years ago You have to let it go Leave it with him in the grave Saved by tomorrow Couldn't come here soon enough Save all your sorrow Save it for tomorrow c2010 by Wishnefsky

Clouds are forming in my mind I'm nowhere near the great divine Raining thoughts of lemon drops Once it starts it never stops Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Can you find me in my shell? Floating down like a diving bell Disappearing far below You won’t miss me when I go Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation Total Isolation c2010 by Wishnefsky

Brain Inside A Vat 03:56

Everything I think I know Fabrication apropos I’ve been fed a bunch of lies They’re putting pictures in my eyes I don’t believe anything I see I don’t believe anything I see I don’t believe anything I see I don’t believe anything I see Electric circuits in my brain Memories are left to drain A steady image in my mind Zettabytes of thoughts aligned I don’t think I’m in control Digging deeper in the hole Can’t tell the tit from the tat Another brain inside a vat I don’t believe anything I see I don’t believe anything I see I don’t believe anything I see I don’t believe anything I see c2010 by Wishnefsky

Leave 04:50

You only bring pain You only bring hate You don’t understand You can’t relate Your words are like thorns From a poisonous rose The scent of dying love Permeates your prose I draw the curtains I crave the darkness The light invades me Makes things uncertain I crave the blindness Close the windows I don’t want to see you Or leave the indoors I’m shutting you out Closing you down Don’t want to see your face Don’t to hear your sound I crave the silence To kill your music It grates on my nerves Much too obtrusive It’s time It’s time It’s time It’s time It’s time It’s time It’s time It’s time c2010 by Wishnefsky

about

Fiasco is a double album and being released by Lost Dog Records in two “books.” This is Book One.

Fiasco is an intensely personal and philosophical album. It explores the chasm between perception and reality and how that irresolvable gap parallels the gulf between life and death. Notwithstanding the heavy-duty nature of the subject matter, it has a sense of passion and majesty. Just when things appear to be spiraling into misty-eyed gloom and permanent residency in a padded cell, Wishnefsky injects a sense of humor and playfulness. “We’re all going to die,” he said, with a wink. “Might as well live a little before we do.”

Musically, Fiasco honors the theme of gap-bridging by combining electronica and alternative rock. Consistent with Wishnefsky’s past work, it managed to be synthetic in an organic and human way. Synths co-mingle with acoustic guitars and pianos; electronic percussion dances with acoustic drums and percussion. At times, Wishnefsky’s voice is processed and distorted; at other times, clear and intimate.

Wishnefsky wrote all the songs and played all the instruments.

Sophie Wellen sang the lead vocal on the chorus of Rabbit Hole from Book Two.

Producer/mixer Michael James helped mix and master the songs. Michael also contributed the lead synth melody for Guard Rail in Book Two.

Award winning photographer Ed Nahin took the cover photographs for Book One in the Antarctic Circle and Book Two in the Arctic Circle.

Yes, Fiasco does span the globe.

This may be my last Wishnefsky record for a while. I give you a galaxy of thanks and a universe of love for your support of my music.
