Details:
Signal Burden is an indie band from Philadelphia. Rick(Cackle) Cox is manning the helm for the new CD "Lost Signals" as singer/songwriter/guitar/bass with drums provided by Josh Philips. The band is currently looking for a guitarist and bassist located in and around the Philadelphia area. Current plans to tour are unknown at this point.

The CD "Lost Signals" is more of an introspective cd exploring deep-seated thoughts about society and life in general. The song "Chosen Free" is an example of the lack of fulfillment in today's age while "Give me some love, Give me some drugs" takes a hard look into Doctor - Patient relationships. "On your own" explores a loss too deep to fathom while "Can't live a lie" is an adult rock anthem to say the least. The power-ballad "Gift you gave me" explores a young relationship that just doesn't work out but thru closure, freedom and understanding is acquired along with the knowledge that it's okay if it's not "meant to be".

Lyrics:
Canât live a lie
Think you have me here Iâm all grown up but still trapped in your fear Gave me a rattle and the words came thru Now I only cue
Canât live my life With you on my back Canât live my life With all this crap Canât live my life With your fat ass Canât live a lie Where are my balls
To stand up to you Your howling moans & Conjured tools All these selfish reasons Iâm sick of retreating.

Give me some love Give me some drugs
Patch up my problem Patch up all of my pain No virus no disease No evidence of shameYou stick me you prick me You love to see me again Pay the bill when I'm ill I don't think I know I'm dead Come on doctor please Give me some love Give me some drugs Prescribe the shit To take life's edge off Can't legally get the stuff myself You're my dealer my shield I only want your help Zoloft Ritalin Lithium it's what I need Syringes that make me cringe The viles that are part of my creed Come on doctor please Give me some love Give me some drugs Prescribe the shit To take life's edge off Come on doctor please Give me some love Give me some drugs Pills for paranoia Anything that's a rush Give me what I need Prescribe it all to me.

Chosen Free
I used to see Where I was Inside of me And I used to breath It seemed so clear I was chosen free Now Iâm here I was chosen free Donât wanna be Forgotten and spent. I wanna live on Dont wanna cry At speeches of shame Just wanna live my life The way I know how I was chosen free The way I know how I was chosen free Don't wanna be A lifer at this job Anymore Just want a big Screen TV And Vermouth Sweatin from my pores I was chosen free Sweatin from my pores I was chosen free And I used to see Where I was Inside of me And I use to breath It seemed so clear That I wasnât goin anywhere Now I m here I was chosen free That I wasnât goin anywhere.Now Iâm here I was Chosen free.

On Youâre Own
I tried so hard to show you this world To no avail you wept In despair you left He won't tempt you no more Promised that you'd be pure Never gave it time to work This rain falls down no more Youâre on your own Youâre little box you in This flight will take you to the heavens In & around the clouds Your hanging somewhere so far Youâre on your own The lord will reap your soul He won't bestow Any promise to let you go I say farewell to my gold Youâre on your own.

First time around
Stab me with your stare Do you what you need to do Capture me with your long blonde hair Long as you go back to my room Drink a little wine make sure were high enough Make this feel good and tight The first time around Silhouette sheets You lipstick lush We donât have to play these games Cause weâre at the brink of lust Peel of all your clothes And Iâll follow suit Lick you up and down While I make my move Drink a little wine make sure were high enough Make this feel good and tight The first time around Weâll drink a little wine make sure were both High enough Make this feel good & tight The first time around.

Gift you gave me
Saved a piece of your hair Deep down wish youâd still care About me on repair Relationships are not fair I was too young And a fool I âm glad Iâm done With you I wonât regret I wonât forget This gift you gave me Now Iâm looking back So glad you left Was the best thing that happened to me My first one Supposed to be special and then some Never happened to me Glad you gave up on me We were too young Not that I realized Caught up in my own emotions Led to my demise I wonât regret I wonât forget This gift you gave me Now Iâm looking back So glad you left Was the best thing that happened to me

Diamond in the Rough
Mom & Dad donât know If they did it would wreck them That their little angelâs a thief Doing cocaine & speed I used to be a diamond in the rough Now Iâm stenciled out of shit Iâm handcuffed Who do I blame I only blame me Canât remember a time A meal stared me in the eyes Miles of asphalt to breathe Iâm only running from me I used to be a diamond in the rough Now I only seem to fuck things up Who do I blame I only blame me Canât stop this pain Voids & voids I display Donât even know where I belong I used to be a diamond in the rough Now Iâm stenciled out of shit, Iâm handcuffed I used to be a diamond

You never bothered with me
Old woman lyin in her bed Wonderin whatâs going thru her head Havenât seen me in 20 years The look of fear appears Incrdeulous stares ponderous eyes Beam right back at me in despise Am I here to collect some debt or Am I hear for inheritance I look in glee You never bothered with me I laugh in pity You never bothered with me The count goes on Graduation weddings have come and gone Invited to all but sheâs never seen Iâm not good with people Excuses no longer ring I look in glee You never bothered with me I laugh in pity You never bothered with me Iâm just here as your dutiful reminder What good memories Are you takin down under Maybe the problem Was with my brother Maybe my sister or me In her eyes my mother All good people but itâs a shame Granny didnât feel that way She stayed in her house she stayed away Calling for the Doctor to bring Now you lie there pissed at somethin You never bothered with me.

Will I keep the door closed
Wake up in the morning With my eyes still closed Roll outta bed Wearin no clothes Will I keep the door closed Will I decide to let you in Or will I close the door On our relationship again Will I keep the door closed Will I keep the door closed? I never trusted you Wake up from a dream I pretended not to know you Lyin in my cortex The visions I refuse Think Iâve decided to curse you out My speech still studderin my hands tremor about Never trusted my instincts Never trusted you being with me Wish I would let you in Wish I would Never trusted me Never trusted you.

Killing just name
Canât purge these thoughts Canât let me decide my fate Offered a gun to solve This crisis I face Is murder the way Years and years itâs paved A society of graves Killing just a name He wronged my family Sought out his name Do I appease my instincts And Hold a gun to his face Is murder the way Years and years itâs paved Society of graves Killing just a name Murderâs a choice I donât wanna make.

Theyâre comin
Theyâre here In cornfields they rear Their ugly heads Large dark eyes In hopes to inflict fear Theyâre comin Theyâre comin Theyâre comin Theyâre here Around the house The footsteps grow Underneath the wind Underneath their shadows The house is boarded But theyâll find a way in Iâve got to repent to god And have my revolver listenin Theyâre comin Theyâre comin Theyâre comin Theyâre here Strange glow in the sky I canât hear myself cry I canât hear myself cry I can feeel myself slowly die Green & blue skin Weird lights and eyes So this is what it may feel like to die.

On the edge
My pagerâs going off And I begin to cough At the doctorâs office Itâs a sin My health is on a whim And thatâs no exaggeration Stress, duress, and emptiness Gone is my wifeâs irratating stares Cigarettes and a bottle of beckâs Is keeping me from the edge So I havenât grown up yet When I was expected to Runnin âround with my doubt I am a 4:00 in the morning fool Stress, duress, and emptiness Gone is my wifeâs irritating stares Cigarettes and a bottle of beckâs Is keeping me from the edge Wastin, wastin time In a bar where I have the Ceiling memorized And the beer never stops Being poured Into a glass The glass I adore Stress, duress, and emptiness Gone is my wifeâs irritating stares Cigarettes and a bottle of beckâs Is keeping me from the edge.

Special thanks - Josh Philips for the amazing drums/percussions that really bring out the sparkle in the songs.
To my wife, Kris, for allowing me to record all of this in a closet under the stairs when the closet could have been better put to use for storage. My two fun little ones - Eric and Brandon - and my extended family.
