I am neither King nor Queen nor Jack nor Joker I am but the dreams of the Sparrow in the corner And we will harvest memory, we will gather Our love in bad roles We will soon touch the mother fucking night We will soon touch the mother fucking night We will drink it's milk and wipe our mitts On its sleeve, we will cower in its beauty Soon become enemy, the moon becomes my God The trees sway and creek, the trees sway and creek The trees sway and creek but we will feel no fear Only Love We will feel no fear, only Love Because we are the Everything Because we are the Everything I bet it with nothing but dreams, never came Never came. I regressed to points return-less Made me strange, made me sane Your comment-less onslaught of commas is the Heart of the Sparrow dream, bare witness my Love My Love, my Sparrow dream I am neither King nor Queen nor Jack nor Joker I am but the dreams of the Sparrow in the corner And we will harvest memory, we will gather Our love in bad roles We will soon touch the mother fucking night We will soon touch the mother fucking night We will drink it's milk and wipe our mitts On its sleeve, we will cower in its beauty Soon become enemy, the moon becomes my God The trees sway and creek, the trees sway and creek The trees sway and creek but we will feel no fear Only Love We will feel no fear, only Love Because we are the Everything Because we are the Everything I bet it with nothing but dreams, never came Never came. I regressed to points return-less Made me strange, made me sane Your comment-less onslaught of commas is the Heart of the Sparrow dream, bare witness my Love My Love, my Sparrow dream

There's nothing in that sinking boat The Sea is red and so's my Soul I've never felt so damn alone and I've Never been so bored My life's an after thought. I lost it In a dream. There's nothing held down It's never what it seems And there's the cause of a dreaming boat I say goodbye to my friends It's a weak end to replace at last There's nothing left to spin And it's a calm a seething endless lie With a fever at the dawn I've been known sometimes to dance in the rain And scream and sing this song There's nothing in that sinking boat The Sea is red and so's my Soul I've never felt so damn alone and I've Never been so bored Sometimes it's all but lost I get down on my knees My eyes are wide the Angels glide They're busting at the seems And I don't have the key to the door There's nothing left to say The Sea is red and I am dead I'm singing from the grave And all my friends have come and gone I see my future clear There's nothing left for me to say Except won't you hold me dear? There's nothing in that sinking boat The Sea is red and so's my Soul I've never felt so damn alone and I've Never been so bored I see the Devil and the Ghosts And the Ravens on the fence The Robin spent, the Owls repent Another way to bent And Its all a part of that wrecking ball That's coming down from Heaven There's nothing left for me to say I've said it all again There's nothing in that sinking boat The Sea is red and so's my Soul I've never felt so damn alone and I've Never been so bored

Well bare my witness, the river turns to falls I struggled with it Life is nothing but a fall And it's a cryin' shame, hmmmm It's a cryin' shame, hmmmm You come, you come Wait for me My love, my love With myself Que serra, serra serra It's a cryin' shame, hmmmm It's a cryin' shame, hmmmm I get the joke, I am the joke I guess it's ok I guess I'm not sorry You realize, I'm not the guy So let's just say So let's just say Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye now All my weaknesses are drenched in alcohol My friends, held, me in check And then I came undone And it's a cryin' shame, hmmmm It's a cryin' shame, hmmmm And it's a cryin' shame, hmmmm It's a cryin' shame, hmmmm I get the joke, I am the joke I guess it's ok I guess I'm not sorry You realize, I'm not the guy So let's just say So let's just say Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye now

Don't sit there Even here, beneath the waves Against the light In the night, we looked away You got a calm, it calls me Stack a pile of bones and ghosts You got a calm, it calls me Stack in silent bones and lets all love hard You got a calm, it calls me Stack a pile of bones and ghosts You got a calm, it calls me Stack in silent bones and lets all love hard In recall, what he was for I don't know Oh my god you're coming up You're coming up so fast Beneath the weight Beneath the waves

If you don't mind I think I'll hold your hand Little babe We could be together forever And a day There you go it's midnight dreaming Daylight scheming, I don't mean a thing I say my friend I say it anyways And I don't care if you don't care at all About that daze Hazy, daisy, daylight dreaming Daylight scheming On second thought I think I'll leave this land Leave today And I don't care if you don't care at all I'm in a daze There you go it's midnight dreaming Daylight scheming, I don't mean a thing I say my friend I say it anyways And I don't care if you don't care at all About that daze Hazy, daisy, daylight dreaming Daylight scheming If you don't mind I think I'll hold your hand Little babe We could be together forever And a day There you go it's midnight dreaming Daylight scheming, I don't mean a thing I say my friend I say it anyways And I don't care if you don't care at all About that daze Hazy, daisy, daylight dreaming Daylight scheming

Long dead Roses, the razor is red Dust off my broken heart And climb out of bed She keep's coming round All alone She say's meet me there at midnight Come alone Long dead Roses, the razor is red Dust off my broken heart And climb out of bed She keep's coming round All alone She say's meet me there at midnight Come alone

So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away Well mind those trees, it's the calm before the storm With a Soul as blank as midnight And the feeling is just a feeling It's everything after all And my Soul's as red as the sunlight So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away Lately you would say maybe I fell sleep at the wheel Wake up Son it's twi-light And the feelings just a feeling it's a slow and subtle deal Cause my Soul's as red as the sunlight So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away So I go down to the River I go down to the River I go down to the river to wash my Sin's away

about

Just a few month's removed from "an emotionally driven masterpiece that breeds elements of a multitude of genres…. all done with a certain haunt and edginess to it that has a way of grabbing at you.” Buzz Slayers — Justin John Scheck is back with a new album, the Third of Four concept albums in a series entitled The Blue Collar Diaries. This time around, it all started with Electric Guitar and Drums. It is an ode to Grunge, Industrial Music, Blues Rock and Trip-Hop.

What the Artist/Multi-Instrumentalist/Producer claims he swung for was "As if Tom Waits and Kurt Cobain went back to the 19th Century and taught Pirates about Music and Music Production.

It's sometimes melancholy Dance Music, and sometimes nearly all String arrangements and Choir Sections.

The remaining concept album entitled A Peasant's Voice will be out in late 2024, accompanied by the Artist's One Man Show of the same title.
