Redline from The Shivers by Ian Marquis
I wrote the music for Redline back in 2005, and then proceeded to sit on it for five years. See, back then I was only doing instrumental songs. It would take me another 3-4 years to start using my voice.

Lyrics
I'd love to crawl inside your head
I curl up in my own instead
It's just gravitation, this infatuation, she said
Don't you quit 'til I'm dead
This anticipation is a squeeze
Inside my head and between your knees
It's your imagination, this maturation you seize
Only losers say "please"
Oh, let me curl up in your head
The things inside my own are dead
It's all anticipation, my imagination, she said

My songs are tiny ecosystems: self-sustaining, self-contained, intricate, and densely layered. I'm captivated by found sound and immaculate production. I sample my own work. I chop up my guitars and create arrangements I could never have played. I treat my voice like an instrument, pushing and pulling it in otherworldly directions. I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles.
