Mucous (free) 02:08
lyrics
download
i'm a fragmented wreck of the person i was i can't find my way back through the sewers and air ducts and all the transformers are damaged and bleeding and the central control room short-circuits sometimes and i can't collect myself it's every cell for itself and they congeal with awkward posture i wake up scattered sad and sore there's a remnant frustration in a tenuous tic with the muscular structure lethargic and slick from residual mucous as the brain is dissolved in a basic solution of bile and gall and i get this way sometimes when i feel i'm going to die but i've only lost my mind and i wonder why i can't just go and the grey screen flickers my heartbeat quickens and i know i've got so long to live for nothing

On how I do and do not remember Potsdam (free) 04:23
lyrics
download
everything you want is everything i have gotten leaving and i have got no reason why i would have wanted that to go everything i do is cold enough and i've got no time to wake up i guess i might not want anything to change at all everything i do turns out so long and i just want to fall asleep i guess i might not have been too clear when i started everything you need is everything you're bleeding through and everything you got is everything you wanted to and everything you got is everything you want me to do and everything i do now is everything i'm going to believe in (it might be hard enough to lose) blades are turning back the time is turning black and i am going home (turn back your mind and make it lead you through) i have gotten through the worst of it and made myself a new home (these drugs are fine if you can hide behind them) i guess i don't even know what i believe in now (this life will drag you through the gloom) everything is going back to where it was and i am going back to where i wasn't (and i can't believe that i would leave you) everything i have to see is everything i have to say is everything is going so long (i guess we should have talked this through) and everyone is going to turn me back into the one that i have longed to leave (and i want to know where i should take this truce) and if i get away around await the sound of seconds and the falling relief (it might be light a diving kite in two) maybe i could make it seem a little better and if i breathe through (these lies feel like the waves but ripe with glue) and i have got the chance to make it seem like i could never make it home (my eyes are wide beneath the knife of you) chance is something funny and i could never seem to make it (and i guess i'll hold on to what i hold on to) blood is bleeding through a funny shade of green and i am something in between (these dreams are cold i wake up clammy and damp) maybe if i made it seem a little less like i was underneath you (this sweat will let me down again) maybe there was some distinct way not to change this (we try to make ourselves content) but the only way i know is going back and i am going home (and it will not make any difference) and i guess i might as well just confess the things that i don't know (we want to know the truth of it) if it makes you feel any better it was real since i left her (but we'll just die and let these things forget.)

Spiders (free) 02:12
lyrics
download
if a moment would wait in the oncoming dew between vapor and water and mother and you if the mind could stretch out in itself for a bit without having to worry it's feet would get wet as the sun rises it's hard to visit first rays on dry surfaces and isn't it bewildering when all the gleaming disappears and i don't have the time i need for what i feel the need for and time itself is hard to bleed a mind in two too freely there are spiders that weave try to capture on threads all the beads that we see but we can't comprehend and they're sewing our mouths shut with stitches and seconds bent in wonder and awe for the moment that beckons but we get lost in bearing up beneath the weight of too much time and stretch our now aged appendages out toward the setting sun i walk with this awkward assembly scattered from the dying stars we murmur softly horde our silence solitude and right to die but never fool enough to feel the pain of knowing who we are

Neat (free) 01:52
lyrics
download
i run circles in the grass around my toes i hid signals in the fear that it would grow something simple is a labyrinth of leaves like they always do and i am left with me and i've been digging around the roots for an escape i've tried climbing once or twice maybe i should just accept my fate drink the poison while it's warm and nice i've been twisting up the sheets in my sleep i've been kicking skeletons i've hid beneath if i've learned anything it's how to seem neat i hide the world behind my teeth

Damage Control (free) 02:09
lyrics
download
one day we'll wake up wonder where afternoon went if i come to by you at fifty i won't feel cheated would you? one day i'll wake up maybe wish i'd done a few things differently but you and i is all i'll ever really need and damage control is easy when i've your hand in mine when life seems swift distant and scenic you pull me back inside
7.
Parasitic Snake Semen (free) 03:33
lyrics
download
the parasite crawls to the core of the apple i climb up the walls of this dappled enclosure this grey matter meat is the fruit of the serpent in me if my body's a tree and the apple is rotting and the heart that i beat with is constantly clotting then the snake that i eat with is feeding me poison and problems but i never descended testicular paths and i never intended to sleep with the lambs since the wolves that i knew gave the wool that i have and the concepts distended and stuttered themselves just a blank ideology made up of nil content just to constipate our conscious will in a well of concrete an average location for a median midpoint the safest set space equidistant from everything where echoes resemble a circle around me so if i'm at the north pole and you're at the south pole and all i can do is move closer to you we might as well sit and commune through the center

All we can afford (free) 02:31
lyrics
download
wait for some imminent lull where we can splice words between words wait your entire life here to be heard we never grow any younger and we never feel any better time just spends itself weaving a web around us and we inhibit our senses and we inhabit our vices weak minds make for good times they say but we've gotten old beyond reason our bodies and roles commit treason we wake wild at midnight clutching our wrists so what of our goals and our lofty ambitions and the foolish attempts that we're making to get them we're just going to work and then suffer and die and there won't be a reason and no compensation and no god to save us or say what we've won in the end we're just gambling and there's no reward and nothing to win and nothing that we can afford

Exit Interview Denver, Colorado

for many years music was my life and, although i was never very good, i was always very passionate about it. now my life has taken me elsewhere. these seven pieces i leave here to serve as the portrait of my former self. as much for me as for anyone else. let us always remember where we have been, with an eye to the ground where our feet will fall on the path ahead. ... more
