I make music as 'The Scientist Asleep' and write constantly. I don't usually share stuff I've written but I'm trying to change that.

The Epworth Scale of Guilt

Before sleeping on my bed of lies I'll brush my guilty teeth, wash my guilty face, and still maintain that I am clean. That I'm somehow innocent.

The mirror berates me. I devolve into sleep...

Incidentally, good people can sleep badly. I'll toss and turn like I turned on you all night.
