I feel the tension mounting nervously I pace And now my heartbeats racing everything's out of place Am I scared or happy I really can't be sure And now I am so moody is there any cure Now this phase we've entered I see the focus centered clearly The tethers tied and tightening the bonds quickly inciting chemistry And now we connect the bridge between you and I I feel the pressure building the guages runnning hot My hands are cold but sweating and now I feel I'm caught Between two giant ledges should I jump or stay? I kinda think I shouldn't but I will anyway

All this time where is it taking me? Like sentiment a castle of empty days Unplanned road no horizon to go to All my life I’ve waited for this second What happens the next day After the cowboy rides away Can’t believe just a ripple in the pond Can’t believe thought I’d feel something stronger The moment came the moment went Now I’m standing here waiting feeling empty But nothings happening All my life has been building to this moment All my life has been building to this moment No credits roll no music plays As the seconds turn to days The moment came the moment went Now I’m standing here waiting feeling empty But nothings happening The moment came the moment went Now I’m standing here waiting feeling empty But nothings happening …

Neverending 04:58
Slowly carefully tendrils grow So so sensitive we both know Seeking searchingly hearts impaired Wanting contact but very scared But we touch we ignite we embrace this thing And we glow and we feel all the warmth it brings But am I strong enough wise enough pure enough? But am I big enough true enough sure enough? It doesn’t matter I can’t get close enough I’d lose myself to become part of you Feelings oscillate feedback loop And intensify simple truth But we touch we ignite we embrace this thing And we glow and we feel all the warmth it brings But am I strong enough wise enough pure enough? But am I big enough true enough sure enough? It doesn’t matter I can’t get close enough I’d lose myself to become part of you Like a fire you now burn through me A desire you’re consuming me It’s a need on which I depend And I don’t want your fire to end And I don’t want your fire to end

Sad 07:20
I feel the seconds ticking and I feel so - sad These moments you're not with me - naked so alone Fill me up because I feel so sad Overwhleming meloncholy crush me like a stone Falling I'm falling I'm constantly drowning Falling I'm falling again Without you You just mean that much to me that I can't be incomplete On this sea of sadness I'm helplessly adrift In this world without you colours disappear One desire just to be with you This wall seems to go forever keeping me from you Falling I'm falling I'm constantly drowning Falling I'm falling again Without you You just mean that much to me that I can't be incomplete

Turn 04:19
This journey I’ve begun lost more than I have gained Keep trudging on though nothing of the path remained Stay optimistic easy to say hard to do Glimmers of hope barely in view I never gave up I just gave up on you Look where I have been scares me what I lived through I know it’s cliché but I did it for you Thought we were happy thought I was happy too Surprized what I believed and what you led me to There’s no turning back noducking what’s instore for me And I’m scared I have made my choice can’t keep wishing things would change Turn the page I never gave up I just gave up on you There’s no turning back noducking what’s instore for me And I’m scared I have made my choice can’t keep wishing things would change Turn the page

Submerged 05:32
All of my lifes circumstances spiral through my head Overloaded senses think I'm floating in my bed All the things that brough me here start to overlap and collapse Sort of seems so funny how quickly it transpired I just lay down a moment strange to feel so tired Just sit back and relax then the bottom just fell away I feel my mind unravelling like a giant ball of yarn Drowning in emotions but sadness pulls me down Like a flood - everything ; but nothing's making sense to me now Everything is caught up in this vortex in my head Each action weighs so heavy all things done all things said Time has come deeds I've done the breaking point is reached I must purge or be drowned

Unresolved 03:21
Everything seemed so huge it was a great excuse to run from everyone Solitude suits me fine it's just those certain times I'm home and I'm alone When the lights go down at night I know why I can't sleep right What have I done? What have I done? Though I run eternally I see the ghosts of what should be What have I done? What have I done? I hear your distant voices through my imperfect choices now I can't see how As I turned my back on you somehow can I return to face my disgrace Try to ignore what I feel But I know this isn't real What have I done? What have I done? And I know I'll never phone But I can't be all alone What can I do? What can I do? What can I do?

Unthinkable 06:03
I never thought we'd drift apart I never thought you'd break my heart I never wanted things this way ... Your truth no longer is my truth Though I can't blame you for your view You made me need to walk away I'll dream of better times my dear I'll dream of better times my dear I can't fight your fight this time I know it makes me seem unkind A million words to say but none of them will breathe It's redundant anyway I think I made my peace It just bothers me the way that you can smile I'll dream of better times my dear Will my soul resist or float? As the bile builds in my throat Intense pain I feel like I ripped off all my skin Your apologies float off in the wind It just bothers me the way that you can smile I never thought we'd drift apart I never thought you'd break my heart I never thought you'd break my heart ...

about

The Binary Drama was largely written as a reflection of the things I was going through in the early 2000s. With a bit of hindsight I see the incredible journey I made around that time and how well I documented it. I didn't mean to do it, but I did. I suffered several crushing losses, survived a meltdown, finally started to heal, and started over again. The last songs were written in 2007 and the recording process started, but the project refused to finish itself. In 2010 more recording was done, and an attempt was made to complete the recording, but again it fell short. When I was looking at the files this summer I was stupefied at how close the recordings were to being complete! After finishing the album I toyed with adding a few more up tempo songs, but ultimately decided to use the songs for an ep as I had planned originally. Enjoy the Binary Drama.

about

Bëker Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

A solo project, that has been percolating for a long time (longer than one has fingers and toes). The madness is perhaps the manic side of Bëker's disfunctional bi-polar personality. Binary Drama is the first of this branding, written mostly in 2007, through the worst of times and later the best of times. It was a lazy project the refused to finish itself until now. ... more
