Mancubus Down

from Tidal Wave EP by Onslaught Six

/
  • Hand-Made Original CD-R
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    A recent excursion to my old house showed that there were actually a few of the original hand-made Tidal Wave CDs available. These include an 8-page booklet, hand-cut and glued by my own two hands, along with a double-sided tray insert, hand-cut, folded and glued, all in a standard CD jewel case.

    The CDs themselves are simple CD-Rs with the tracks burned onto them, hand-labelled with a black Sharpie.

    Each edition was also hand-numbered on the back of the jewel case insert and also on the discs themselves. Only 25 of these were ever made.

    These will never have a hand-made edition like this ever again.

    Sold Out

about

Mancubus Down was a track my friend onslaught86 wrote the lyrics to. Basically, I was bored and said, "Write me a song!" and he said, "I've already written you a bunch of songs!" and I was all, "They all suck!" so he wrote this.

Then I didn't do anything with it for like a year. Then I wrote music to it and recorded it.

This track ended up being a recurring part of the indie film Zombie Soldiers. If you haven't heard of it...don't feel bad.

lyrics

This is my favourite game
I'm sitting here again
Repeating the refrain
Changing again, the same

Bent into a new shape
One that I never liked
Taking a mental hike
Follow the red tape

Deep inside my mind is a place I don't ever wanna go
Staring at the wall knowing more than I ever wanted to know
Buried in an avalanche of thoughts, not who I want to be
Somewhere inside this chaos hides someone I used to think was me

Yesterday had a plan
Something to do
Maybe with you
But now here alone I stand

Tomorrow comes a new thought
A change is needed
The thought is seeded
That sounds fair

Deep inside my mind is a place I don't ever wanna go
Staring at the wall knowing more than I ever wanted to know
Buried in an avalanche of thoughts, not who I want to be
Somewhere inside this chaos hides someone I used to think was me

[Keeping the dream alive
Shielded from the outside
Sleeping inside your mind
Hiding inside your hive]

Deep inside my mind is a place I don't ever wanna go
Staring at the wall knowing more than I ever wanted to know
Buried in an avalanche of thoughts, not who I want to be
Somewhere inside this chaos hides someone I used to think was me
