Setting them up,
Making them work.
Believing in no one,
Blind to love’s worth.
Her body - poised,
Drawing in the unsuspecting;
Her beauty, poison,
Her venom - unrelenting.
Salty tears mingle with sweat;
Unguarded hearts divided.
Madness consumes guilt,
For the pain is one-sided.
An artist - her art, dark and morbid,
Hearts have become her blank canvas to haunt.
She blends shadows, swallowing colour;
Her love - detached, nonchalant.
Poised, she is a vision.
To breathe her in, is to take the poison.
No one will hurt her. She is no victim.
Toxic and tragic, she is ready to deal love’s treason.

Here I am, and here I'll stay;
Like the moon in the darkness that refuses to fade.
Clouds will cover, but cannot take from my reign;
Mark this as the moment that they realise, as they scoff with distain.
They fell asleep, I cannot be blamed.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
