Hard Liquor 02:55
Jimmy was sneezing, crying and didn’t know what to do He told his single mother that he might have the flu His mom told him to take a Johnny walk around the block That peace’d only confront him once he overcame the shock He had assumed that momma was right Just a petite liquid burn would leave him painless through the night Then… Momma gave him hard liquor Said if he didn’t drink, he would just get sicker He stuck around mom’s house for a year or five He had parties with jack and evan, they kept him alive Momma kicked him in the head, said it’s time to find work You’re nothing like me, you’re just a little jerk But, mom, you have me hard liquor Said if I didn’t drink, I would just get sicker But he never graduated from Wilson High To erase said mistake, he tested a sweaty night in sweaty july He took that GED test and you can bet that he passed and got a cubicle job where he could be drunk off his ass the boss man invited him to his home so he could chat with this genius all alone he told him of mom’s childhood cure and how he kept drinking everyday, just to make sure but boss man loved jimmy’s success so he went ahead with the move that he thought would be best his boss gave him hard liquor said if he didn’t drink he would just get sicker his boss gave him hard liquor, but it was in a port glass so it was fancier and slicker

he was a middle class boy who wanted to move to the city he was never one of the goys but he refused any pity the gifts at christmas time would be the simple city lights then, he could say that he was happy assured and upright he got a job at the theater an apartment that was his he would say he couldn't be happier to feel the city wind's kiss he would call himself independent because he did things alone but he dearly missed the suburban air in this place he couldn't call home one night he had too much to drink in the company of his one man crew of this loneliness, he started to think something he said he'd never do and so he took the kitchen knife and dragged it across his flesh hoping for the sweet release that would make him forget but it just hurt the blood stared back just lingering there this red reflection so crass where his cuts used to be he has inscribed on his arm permanent words in hebrew ink that read "this too shall pass"

Lights off, Lights on It’s no more than simple electricity It won’t reveal anything Nothing you didn’t see already Brake, Accelerate It’s no more than simple speed It won’t get you anywhere where you couldn’t have gone with the sheer power of your will Fire, Reload It’s no more than simple death It would never kill a single man Who wouldn’t have died by his own hand Breathe, Suffocate It’s too late To prove, to sickness, the truth The looming tragedy of self written youth.

If I had eyes in the back of my head, I'd keep them shut Cause I've seen enough and I've had enough But if I could see from your point of view then maybe there's a place for me A place to be proud of For everytime I step out of that door someone in the world gets badly hurt And everywhere I look is made a mess I'm not sure if it was me or them Either way it's safe in this armored car Where I'm free to see the world as I imagine it But I gotta get out for a little fresh air But when I do I'll suffocate to death I'm not human

kelly kane called my name and i came running kelly kane called my name and i drew the curtain she said "come outside i'm glad you don't call me because otherwise i'd find you annoying and i've left all those beggars behind and i got something that'll blow your mind" she opened her stomach and let me peer in i saw only apple cores and earthworms crawlin she said "men aren't worth the piss they're filled with, so i douse them in rum, drink the remainder and set them aflame, at least, then, they're fun. so fun." i drew my head out and said "what were ya saying?" she laughed and said "oh it was nothing, just nothing" we sat there setting our brains on fire and vowed to stay 'til we both expired

“Because I Can” said the man with sweat dripping down his brow and blood out his mouth though he hated the words he uttered his mouth had a mind of its own a trait that was shown much earlier this performance “the first act was great” said the critics “we just cannot wait for the sequel” one reviewer was so displeased that he took his pen and slashed his knees “I knew I would hate this” he said “much earlier this performance” needless to say that was closing night protesters gathered what a sight to put this critic on trial what a show he gunned them all down row by row Protesters’ parents Came to gather them all Came to scrape the corpses off of the walls They came to apologize To the critic He scowled and said That he’d never forget it

no one came home this year they had no reason even the season no one wanted to be with him it seemed that they had saved her only made it longer, more painful so he sat there two woods burning realigning his hair he filled both flames as he waited for the family that never came there laid rex, wagging his tail they both inhaled

about

Pablo and I have been playing music together for years. Sometimes as a duo and sometimes in other bands. This summer, before I went to college, I wanted to make something that celebrated these years so far that we had spent making music, so Pablo and I decided to make an album. We still play music when I'm home and may very well make another album next summer, but here's what's here now.
