All our secrets
Characteristics
Unknown to all
Even our loved ones
Fear of disdain
Builds on the strain
Challenge of life
Dear old friend of mine
Now known to all
Even our lost ones
Strength over time
Won’t be denied

The Corporate Laugh
04:58
|

|
Hey, boy -- why are you still living at home?
Why do you celebrate your failures
With a glass of whiskey, on your wooden throne?
Income -- I'm lucky just to fund each day
There's not really much to speak of;
It all goes right back to sustain
And just when you're trying to move up
I'll come round
And I'll knock you right back down again
Outside -- the skies point to lands I'll never see
And all the havens in between
They are surely where I ought to be
Small house -- Life on my own, I must postpone
Nobody inside wants to be there
Life controlled by momentum and loans
And just when you're finally feeling friendly
I'll come round
And I'll knock you right back down again
Hey, man, perhaps you misheard one line in this song
But then maybe
Maybe that seems like a good idea too

I told you please stop bringing up
All those memories
They eat away at my psyche
More than I am willing to admit
Let me self-medicate
I want you to know that you’re not alone
In spite of how it feels
Sometimes noise becomes overpowering
And your options are low
And we self-medicate
Give the wound some time to heal
There are those who can relate
Occupy the space outside
Occupy the space outside
I want you to know that you’re not alone
In spite of how it feels
Sometimes noise becomes overpowering
And your options are low
And we self-medicate

A Self-Correcting System
02:43
|
|||
|
Strings on strings, they intertwine
Mix and match and realign
Interfere, they may resign
Left alone, they'll be just fine
The workings of the human mind
Certainly mine, and yours in kind
They relapse and they rewind
To settings you thought left behind
I do not need
Your own perturbing feed
My zen you will delete
With dictations obsolete
In a self-correcting system

Shout into the Void
05:19
|
|||
|
Log in, type in something you might regret
Later wonder why your friends are upset
With you and your hateful cyber antics
It's not worth it to argue semantics
Do you really possess ears, or do you
Indulge impulse? Monkey see, monkey do
Shout into the void
It's so easy to sit there behind your
Keyboard and say, "Worst thing I've seen before,"
All the while, what have you ever done
To bring meaning to your life? Next to none
You might forget what you've said in the morn,
But to others those words you shall adorn
Shout into the void
Reactions to reactions to reactions to reactions...

Mark Hennessey Reading, Pennsylvania

Since then, he's been writing, playing and recording music in various corners of New York and Pennsylvania, cultivating his own brand of art rock, which comes with a surprisingly personal touch. This sound was first captured on his 2016 solo debut, The Difference Engine, and has been evolving ever since. ... more
