about

Of the many lost songs from my great hard drive death, this one was spared simply because it was supposed to be used for a magazine somewhere. I have no idea what happened to that, so I will defy whatever rules they gave on posting it and place it here.

The album title came from this track - Vile 10 (Reference to a mental scorecard and title given to a certain someone) but somehow through multiple file transfers, shortcuts on different drives, and a weird registry cleaning bug + hard drive crash recovery thing, it got renamed into Viletin which rolled off the tongue so nicely. A gift from the digital gods.

lyrics

I never outgrew the waves that came when she strummed her own tune and raised her own moon
It battered and it bruised, I knew it wasn't safe yet I madly endured to see her face
A ghost playing cruel notes - she's always in key
Showing her scars, cursing the stars (with a story in between)
Storied smile and angry eyes with no more sympathy moving in for she knows she has me
I'm through... she is singing... it controls me
I'm through... she is dancing
She knows she owns me
The noose she threw to tie me down weaves no clue for me to figure it out
I haven't found an answer for her yet
A ghost plucking cruel notes - slightly off key
Showing her scars, ignoring the stars (with a solo in between)
Playing our way without delays and a chance of mystery
Singing like she knows she owns me
I'm through... she is singing... she controls me
I'm through... she is dancing
She knows she owns me
I haven't found an answer for her yet

about

TheRingmaster (Francissistic) Philippines

"Francis keeps things mellowed down and a little feminine, basking in heart-stabbing, downtempo pop that goes to as far as conquering all hell and mud in pursuit of love. This time, he’s restless not with himself, but with his art, his woman, and the need to express himself. " - Vandals On The Wall ... more
