Lyrics
ABM 

Mathematical desk out a window 
Game theory found in a social dilemma 

Portable A bomb, a splinter group wielding it 
Patterns that match he can see it all now 

Always was awkward, interpersonal relations 
Codebreaking genius scans periodicals 


Verifiable data proof I believe it 
Black ops division, Christ this is serious 

Cold paranoia trapped in a nightmare 
Darkness surrounding, wife is in danger 

Sometimes the variables can't match the values 
Sometimes they catch him running away 

Wife in a frenzy, she can't believe it 
Clues all around her yet hadn't seen it 

Where is the implant? he cannot find it 
He needs the treatments, he needs the treatments 


He knows he could do it but now he's forgotten 
He knows he could do it but now he's unable 

Now the encoding is flashing before him 
Man in the darkness is running away 


Here is the puzzle that he must be solving 
Radio signals will draw him away 


Look all around you - this is the puzzle 
She can't be real - she never gets old 

This is what's real 
But you can't go back 
Not all at once anyway 

They are still there 
But yes I ignore them 
I think I'm ready again 


Look all around you - this is the puzzle 
This can't be real - this never gets old 

Look all around you - this is the puzzle 
This can't be real - this never gets old 


Look all around you - this is the puzzle 
This can't be real - this never gets old

What a cool song ! And the uke/bass formula is even cooler. And how about those soooo hard to fit in song words like 'variables', 'periodicals' or 'interpersonal' ? That's a tour de force, really. Enjoyed this very much ...

@Dyl glad you enjoyed this. 
it was yet another experiment in music. 
this time my process was to write the lyrics while watching a certain movie. i wrote the words down on-the-fly in the order of events in the film. i did just a tiny bit of editing afterwards.
then i improvised on the uke while singing the lyrics a few times. it settled into a generally ok song form.
then i turned on the recorder and just winged it! i needed to do a second take for a couple awful gaffs.
the vocals could have been a lot better, but this time that was not my focus. it would have to do.
in GarageBand, i  joined the two takes into a single one. 
no bass yet. 
finally, i pencil tooled in the bass one note at a time. cutting and pasting where i could, but there was no click track at all for this song, so it was pretty mostly all pencil tooled in.
i used the bass to change the meaning of many of the uke chords. that was a fascinating experiment for me.
after a few tries, the bass seemed good enough. then some EQ and manual gain-riding, and that was it. ta da!
again, many thanks!
