Media Stuck 03:36
You're ten steps ahead of the rest of us Your opinions are ringing in my brain I've got media stuck in my head You've got dollar signs in your eyes I'll have to dive into life See if I'm doing it right Everybody get down on yourself Lucky things to be sad about Everybody get down on yourself Happy things to be sad about
2.
Controlled 04:39
Early day so there's time for wasting Recycling my conversations The only place that matters is where you are The only place you want to be is somewhere else But it's hard to go when you're controlled It's hard to show when you don't know
3.
Projections 04:58
Don't think about the bad past Think of the new future Impressive headaches in a stack Therapists on your computer I think my outlook is good It's just distorted sometimes Looking through a camera lens Instead of a third eye Your wall is a screen projecting images Clearer than what my eyes can see Your wall is a screen projecting images Clearer than life itself You can be anywhere that you wanna be Experience without the feel We can talk as long as you're safe enough away from me But still feeling so close Enjoying being destroyed cuz it's a gain Now will be better eventually Homesick for the 90s Hoping for something easy Surrounded by thousands in an empty room

Water Song 03:48
I wish i was there I wish you were her Buzzing like flies talking fast It's legs slide down my brain Less control over words You say I'm okay You're the only one here Doing just to do Waiting for good news You'll do fine without me

Soft Panic 03:47
There's something in my mouth that I can't get If i could count all the times that I had Something in my mouth that I can't get out
8.
If you stayed up all day tell your eyes to let it rain Ashamed of your middle name Weekdays are weak, I've had sadder Saturdays The only reason it fit so well is cuz both sides were broken and The only reason you miss it now is because you already did it then If you stayed up all day tell your eyes to let it rain Calling me by my last name You sit up straight and try not to bite your nails The only reason you feel so down is cuz it was familiar and The only reason you miss it now is because you already did it then
9.
How can you move on when you're staying in one place What's not okay is i don't make change You said if I could find any life but mine Don't strive to have other people's lives Wouldn't it be sad if you were happy all the time Come over to my house and drain my brain out

about

Taking his cue from artists like Bruce Haack and Dan Deacon, Maarten Bayliss produces music on vintage sounding synths and drum machines. Tracks like “Controlled” are nearly anxiety-inducing with its driving drum-and-bass beat and layered vocals. Others show the softer side of Bayliss like the ballad “Projections” or the spa-worthy “Water Song.” No matter what sound or mood Bayliss is experimenting with, his music always is captivating–pushing the limits of his equipment and genre.
