Neck Breath 01:34
When you’re breathing down my neck I can’t feel, I can’t feel When my mail is on my desk I can feel, I can feel When you’re breathing down my neck I can feel, I can feel (eeeeel) the people we know the places they go the blankest of stares cause they know they're alone the words they define the gifts are all lies that live in the ground and then lurks in the night

When we sneak around we don’t talk like beggars anymore we just stare When we sleep around we don’t act like lovers anymore we just stare If we get back, together We gotta talk about it, we gotta talk about it When we sit around we don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it Can we sit down and piece it together Should we hold it or pull it apart

When you cum it leaves a stain on my bed When you come leaving lipstick on my coffee cups When you cum it leaves a stain on my bed When you come it leaves a stain on all my coffee cups i focus on making these words complicated, so you’ll realize you underestimated, i’m greater than you thought i’d ever be, catching stars that’re heavenly, there’s nowhere that i’d rather be, got no recipe, for this reverie, i’m in revelry, stocked with remedies for your maladies, i got allen keys for this furniture, in this future i act more mature, got sparks from this armature, got hearts in the curvature, of my palm, got a way for us to get along, got the christmas lights that you rely upon strung from ceilings, got these feelings, like the way the red yellow green and blue reflected off of you, and these church pews, the warmth between us two, wasnt due to the lack of air conditioning, the sweat that was glistening, the way that we were listening to the songs of evening hymns, it was within, thermal energy emanating from you and me, there’s no replicating this chemistry, elementally, i like the way our atoms align, cells intertwine, molecules reflecting light that seems divine. and i don’t often find myself intermingling science and religion, but i also don’t often find myself in this position, and it’s riveting. When you come I don’t get to sleep the way I want When you come I feel so tired I can hardly walk When you come… When I cum it leaves a stain on my bed

In a change room with a pen and a party dress Tell a lame joke, beat a horse that is badly dead You wanna get it back get it over again Life is gonna kill you better get it read And I, will ever be alone It’s alright, cause Pat is coming home. It’s raining, but we can hear friends having sex you’re a moon crime, holding still mirror images And you, will ever be alone It’s alright, cause Pat is coming home. And you, will ever be alone It’s alright, cause Pat is coming home.

Maybe the question doesn’t matter Baby the question doesn’t fly Baby the question doesn’t matter Maybe the question isn’t right When we can’t even start to try When we can’t even start to try What if I can’t, … quite tell you What if I can’t, … quite tell you When I come into your bedroom Writing like a ghost When I come into your bedroom Writing like a ghost When I come into your bedroom Maybe I can find a rec room maybe we can play When I come into your bedroom Maybe I can beam an x-ray Right into your brain

Hayden 01:32
I hope you get married someday He loves you in a way that seems crazy Quit smoking, and maybe less lazy You can have your first kid in the city Why’d you stop taking those pictures The site was my favourite of all Kept me in touch, with our friends and a city I’d realized I’d lost You still find a way to amuse me I’ll call you real soon for a talk

Coming Home 01:43
When you say that you’re coming home When you say that you’re coming home Well you know You don’t have a choice When I say that I can’t call home When I say that I can’t call home I know you know I don’t have a choice When you say that I’m coming home When you say that I’m coming home Well I know That it’s all a lie When you say that you want me home When you say that you want me home Well I know You don’t have a choice

The bed is hard My spine hurts You made me sick You make me sick The tube is in I can’t talk The milk is in in my blood (the noise) And the noise and the noise and the noise and the noise And the noise and the noise and the noise and the noise The ventilator a second gasp You made me sick You make me sick The tube is in I can’t talk The milk is in in my blood (the noise) And the noise and the noise and the noise and the noise And the noise…

Wake it’s so quiet Breathe Am I dying? Coming home again. Wait I can hear you Make me three No ICU Coming home Don’t let me go in Sleep

about

This was recorded as part of the 2015 RPM (Record Per Month) Challenge.

I’m not going to tell you that this needs to be listened to with headphones, really loud, in the correct order tracklisting, in its entirety, with a certain EQ, alone, nor with people.

It is what it is.

It more or less sounds the way I wanted it to. Maybe one day I will get it actually mixed and/or mastered.

Special thanks to my girlfriend who tolerated the deafening guitars even during a particularly rough migraine. She was such a good sport that not only did she let me use the part where she interrupted the recording, she even sang on the final mix of the song. Also thanks to my upstairs neighbour who put up with me recording at all hours of the day and didn’t call the police when it sounded like I was murdering someone in the basement/upsetting her dogs.

* I didn’t ask for permission for reading the excerpt from Rosen’s. Either way, if anyone can tell what I’m saying in that passage I’ll be extremely impressed.
** I don’t know the original source for the Bunny/Dog picture that is being used as the artwork. If this belongs to you and you don’t want it associated with this project, please let me know.
