John Frusciante & Josh Klinghoffer - Walls
Album: A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence (2004)
A Sphere in the Heart of Silence is the fifth album in a series of six solo efforts that John Frusciante undertook from June 2004 to February 2005, and his eighth overall release. It is an album composed mainly of electronica-based material, and was a joint collaboration between John Frusciante and friend Josh Klinghoffer. Both of them perform vocals; John Frusciante sings lead vocals on "Afterglow", "Walls" and "My Life", and shares vocals with Josh Klinghoffer on "Surrogate People". Josh Klinghoffer performs lead vocals on "Communique", "At Your Enemies" and does the backing vocals for "Walls".
It's time to dive and join two long-term friends on their expedition through the depths of electronica. On the effort released under both of their names; John and Josh published some of the non-Ataxia material that was conceived during the performance shows at Los Angeles' Knitting Factory and a couple of other places. The first song, an instrumental titled Sphere had to be shortened by around 2/3, as the original version performed in December 2003 lasted about thirty minutes. The other songs, apart from the last one that somehow doesn't fit into the concept, being an intimate, short ballad, continue the travel through a completely different realm than the one a John listener is used to.

Lyrics:
Rain
On your mind
If I'm
So inclined
It's left
You all
At their
Photo stall
One blast
My past
So you wanna know (know!)
Where you're gonna go? (go!)
So you wanna know (know!)
Where you're gonna go? (go!)
And
All you want
To be
Is a God
You're safe
As that
My friend
Go back
Uptight
Tight
So you wanna know (know!)
Where you're gonna go? (go!)
So you wanna know (know!)
Where you're gonna go? (go!)
So you wanna know (know!)
Where you're gonna go? (go!)
So you wanna know (know!)
Where you're gonna go? (go!)
There's
Only death
And I
Say that, yeah
This life is a
Frontier of pain
Disgust
Disgust
So you wanna know (walls!)
Where you're gonna go? (walls!)
So you wanna know (walls!)
Where you're gonna go? (walls!)
So you wanna know (walls!)
Where you're gonna go? (walls!)
So you wanna know (walls!)
Where you're gonna go? (walls!)
Once I'm cornered, I can't center
I will go beyond
Plans to kill me seem to falter
I am not my own
Eyes can't see me or the others
You do things our way
Extra meaning, truth won't free them
Not worth a thing I say
