Sometimes (free) 03:47
take these dreams you think i have remove these thoughts that make me believe you think that i don't know the truth but i do i am missing the point to this i know you feel the same we tried until we bled and we destroyed what was left now i feel i am fading the towering structures are closing in my breath is blocked, my voice is mute every truth i've known is distorted take these dreams you think i have mold me into someone else remove these thoughts that make up who i am you think that i don't know the truth but i do sometimes the circuitry lies sometimes the connection divides sometimes we are all offline sometimes the wires intertwine sometimes the framework's revised and sometimes it is lost in our design

My Time Was Yesterday (free) 03:55
this is my city of sometimes a snapshot of a life i have left behind this is my story of years ago a plot that never saw itself through silently i got up and walked away couldn't take the pain, dead ends, or regret again crawled under a canvas of paint to hide under too much pressure to even decide and then you said... this was my city of sometimes a whisper of a voice of the desperate kind a promise i made to myself long ago a fable so tall it can never be told fell to my knees as i watched it slip away a grotesque version of myself looked back at me drowned myself in every line of rhyme i could find and then you said... take it as a sign you've got to bury it down take it as a sign you've got to bury it down take it into the earth you've got to bury it down take it into another place you've got to bury it down my time was yesterday

Again (free) 03:22
i act out this part this isn't happening i'm dropping my cover i'm cracking my shell this isn't happening i search all over this isn't happening i panic, i pace i tried this i tired every night i tried this i felt the rain i tried this i kept it true i tried, i tried... this isn't happening i think about you i dream, i fantasize this isn't happening you live inside of me this isn't happening this isn't happening those words are something i cannot kill have i done it again? have i done it all again?
5.
Misery (free) 03:20
you lost it you left it you forgot about it they saw you they caught you i have it documented i knew it before you tried it now you're quarantined now it's over over and under it's misery how can you think this how can you allow this how can you become this it's beyond my comprehension how did this happen? it took all of my control it took every ounce of patience that i had it nearly destroyed me it sucked the energy right out of me right through me it left me empty it's misery it is misery it was misery

Charms of Numbers (free) 03:28
there are these charms of numbers in my head they endlessly divide and end up dead the maddening sound takes its time in fulfilling its life of childhood rhymes there are these charms of numbers in my head they increase their speed they multiply and spread throughout this world of zeros and ones are reminders of things i have left undone sinks the dove into the sea unleashed a faint display of me burned the feathers with the eye into in which without it died my love for you it went away it sank beneath the thought of day evoked in me but far away in two and out it falls astray there are these charms of numbers in my head they silently flutter weaving their thread their flawless beauty disguises their crime of existing for a purpose to equal and to define there are these charms of numbers in my head they satisfy my needs they subtract and embed throughout this life of binary nones are reminders of things i have yet to outrun ruins in my worship stare i felt your warmth without a care watchful and sad are my eyes uncovered beneath i decide takes so long to learn the rules grace it has and with that it flew scars my mind the third degree rises the dove out of the sea it's done i'm finished it's over i'm through
9.
Not Just Sadness (free) 04:21
useless and without meaning i have trapped you too long lifeless and without feeling i have isolated this wrong senseless and without needing i have uncovered the dawn faceless and without seeing i have left it now it's gone wanting without having i am empty tonight learning without knowing i am lost (no where to hide) running without stopping i'm trying to fly fucking without coming i'm testing the skies it's not just sadness that is swelling inside it's not just sadness that is eating me... it's not just sadness and i can't confide it's itching and twitching i can't push it aside it's not just sadness i can't push it aside

Will Winter Ever End? (free) 02:27

You Thought It Was Me (free) 02:43
you thought it was me who donned this disguise you thought it was me who spoke in words wise you thought it was me who was the architect of you you thought it was me who beveled into the blue you thought it was me who fled from the surprise you thought it was me who did then didn't but lied you thought it was me who was the architect of you you thought it was me who beveled into the blue i'm flailing in this static sea a speck of life in this frequency i need permission to radiate i need permission to radiate
12.
shattering the walls of this place until the heartache has been displaced a shadow hangs in the breeze waiting for a forgiving release a list of do's and don't's harass the haves and won't's patterns so familiar yet strange cross my thoughts in a maze this day last year i suppose was a war of the same old woes severed and lost scattered and alone reflected by hope and tormented with despair fleeing this outlet in a panic like a transmission of data in the static my only reprieve is a day away while i become unknowingly damaged and frayed it's sharp and it stings where all of this begins and it won't be different from what has been it's the consequence of my life it's the consequence of my time it's the consequence of these years it's the consequence of these lies

about

Blind With Rain marks the final evolution of Aaron Geis' musical vision. The debut E.P. titled, "The Chemical Window," completed in September 2005, cemented his art with a new and experimental sound that is immediately both tender and severe. Its long-awaited, 2008 follow-up, A Transmission of Data in the Static, assaults new ground in the Industrial Rock and Electro-Industrial genres.

The stirring new album explores the infinite stagnance of timeless static across twelve all-new tracks. This collection, three-years in the making, has been described as "dreams of ghosts traveling along an immersive post-industrial, digital landscape." Lyrical themes of desperation, loss, and finding one's place while feeling trapped in this digitized world are rampant, luring the listener into an introspective otherworld that threatens to fade from existence at any moment.

about

Blind With Rain Baltimore

Blind With Rain carries its origins well with the careful marriage of classic, industrial themes and pulsating instrumental pieces with an enormously broad selection of experimental layers and vicious hooks. The sound is at once distantly familiar and distinctly unique with shattering vocal tracks that pierce the subconscious and demand its submission. ... more
