about

An internet/programming/math romance, that just doesn't quite work.

lyrics

So you look mighty good on paper. I wish I wrote things down.
The pixels on the screen depict you giving me the runaround.
I'm pushing buttons and you don't seem to understand.
A semi-colon and a bracket: deeper meaning than a holding hand.

Let's go for three dimensions, start trying as we might.
We've come a long, long way, but we've still got the width and height.
I see a vast horizon. It's just so very plane.
A point for each of us to stand on, a third to ground us, if we're sane.

The super-traffic on this highway won't let us cross the line.
I've sent you signals but you pass me up and then I pay the fine.
The dial-up tone in your voice begs me down to a crawl.
You think you've got my number but it's you who's hung up on me after all.

Let's go for three dimensions, start trying as we might.
We've come a long, long way, but we've still got the width and height.
You're multivariable, easy as X, Y, Z.
I still don't see the point or function. Your tangents stop you seeing me.

The lack of lessons lessened what we'd learned. The page, it hasn't turned
It's code, and not arithmetic.
For us there could be love at the next site. I dropped some cache tonight.
But we know that we just don't click.

Let's go for three dimensions, start trying as we might.
We've come a long, long way, but we've still got the width and height.
I've browsed enough for now and I've seen too much to doubt.
I'm not excited. You're one-sided. I have decided I'll log out.

about

Brimaxian Portland, Oregon

A persistently versatile mix of guitars, keys, synth strings, and more, in the rock, acoustic, and alternative genres. Dense, poetic wordplay sung by a semi-amateur baritone. Wry wit, hot guitar licks, and the occasional augmented sixth chord.
