I’m sitting for fifteen minutes I’m waiting for the day to come where I can sit for fifteen minutes and not chew the nail off my thumb I don’t know where this is going but I know that it’s not heading home I don’t know where this is going but I’m goddamn sure I don’t know where I belong Hey Hey and the holes in my logic speak so soft you can’t recognize The holes in my pockets go so far as to ostrichsize my mind and my body tear my head off and let the coupons fly to my toes so soggy dripping with wet I’m not sure how to die Hey Hey So let me go tonight off into oblivion romanticize my journey my life perceived as so through tortured eyes Hey Hey

Learning my lover left long gone and far away too late to apologize for blood spilled and colder eyes Cobblestone roadways they felt like the last time we spoke aloud to ourselves the taste of your neck to sell off all the garden gnomes flesh lingered on telephones to speak of the absences the lonely dark masochists Integrate self control and all that you’ll get is a sad hungry peasant boy with three little house chores to occupy his peasant time and make room for schooling too late for optimal education down the hall she waits for me desperately or desperate to leave to run and to bury me to change with the falling leaves Fall off and separate mitotic spindle of tearing your life apart sweating you slowly start to panic and beat your head against all the cobblestone lifetimes of your blood spilled all along the bones were split in half as your body broke against all the cobblestone and all the bystanders watched just then your mother thought that she’d find you safe in bed with curtains shut and eyes dead from heroin overdose lost in your comatose but instead she found you alive barely breathing another failed life attempt another emasculate nobody asked for this love that you gave them infact no one wanted it all of us thought of it as misplaced affection your hate redirected at the ones who didn’t bite first arrogance lost in a burst of aggravated assault against those who were close enough to hit with your whipping stick now all we think of it is nothing much anymore back to our lonely chores and doing the things we know all of us let you go off of your ledge that night yeah we all knew it but none of us thought of you not people or newspapers too so goodbye my only love you take half me with you but I just can’t leave this place not since I’ve seen your face

There’s peace in rusting in the back row with you at least I know what I’m coming home to and that’s enough yeah that’s enough for me I need my literate and well spoken best friend he leaks thoughts and words that’s I’ve never read and that’s enough yeah that’s enough for me speak soft when you talk your talk and make sure that your battles fought well and kept to yourself learn to read and write and spell yourself out for your tax form stand up straight pretend you are strong enough to fight the way you oughtta moms and dads and sons and daughters colliding on this battle field fighting for what to yield home to their families the eggs and bread and the dairy they struggle for their paycheck and bring home what’s left after all the others took their share write petitions “it isn’t fair!” But nobody is listening There’s peace in rusting in the back row with you at least I know what I’m coming home to and that’s enough yeah that’s enough for me

See no one has time for me I'm allright See no one has time for me Up all night Checking texts betting next weekend won't be anythingj new Truly I don't want you to include me your ideas about reality are 2d you see Isolation doesn't bother me until it's forced You forgot to invite me that's the excuse of course See I'm onto you I know I don't contribute but I gotta lot to do stuck inside this musical solitude I'm sorry in sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm not See noone has time for me why would they waste it I might be wasted my waist hits a basic waitless fateless weighted faceless bassist face it when the day hits and they lay in wait fated to be evasive Cause I'm a sellout before I was bought A convict before I was caught I've taught the best and learned from the worst I leave last and always arrive first cause I think I'm cool

The KGB are in my house and I don’t know what they’re needing The KGB are in my house and they’re acting so misleading The KGB they took from me every right I had to call myself free and hid it behind “national security” The KGB are quite nasty and their uniforms overall trashy their guns don’t mean much to me kill me and my family do well to dispose of the bodies never to be found deep in the ground but grant me one last letter to my good and sweet lover let her know she means the world to me But before you leave, you KGB know you won’t get a dime from me whether you’re IRS or NSA keep your freedom for your United States The KGB are in my house and I don’t know what they’re needing The KGB are in my house and they’re acting so misleading

Becca's Song 00:48
and the lamplight Lambright all I’ve ever know is that I’m only happy when I’m coming home to you, to us to all the things I never got done You know what I mean when I say that I never want to leave, no just wanna stay in your arms at the park in the dark on the street with people tapping their feet looking at me, looking at you “May God bless the love between you two” I’ll save the part about atheism thank them for their time you in the simplest way of things they didn’t have to be so kind neither did you neither did I so before you leave for NY give me one final good last kiss good bye.

I ordered a pint of sin and gave satan the sweet and sour sauce I took directions from my moral compass now I'm lost Now I'm lost Now I'm lost And I'm trying to find my way Through sin and Chinese food They'll both kill you eventually but least one of them tastes good Hint it's the one without MSG Now let's see how far our diplomacy goes without armed embassies The enemy Is the one with all the fuckin nukes SILENCE So I just want to die In this styrofoam container contaminated continuously cause corrupt containment policies just mean that We can't have a voice worth listening to Cause sin is free and I don't wanna pay for this Chinese food

Raspy Voices 02:46
Rocketships draw Pentagrams Cause God never made it into space So I’ve been wondering where exactly he lives cause I’ve been looking for a better place God please call me pick up your telephone and bring me out of this boring pace I need you now more than ever before I need you now if I’ll need you at all Raspy voices Raspy noises Used tissues thinking of you call me when you’re headed home Someone tell me do you think that God gets voice mail calls? House shopping with a shotgun and newspaper ads all point to you Raspy voices Raspy noises

about

This album was recorded over two days by John and the other guy with the help of Becca, Maggie (she played tambourine) and Ms. Mietus. John editied everything. This is the first batch of dunk-in-milk warm-and-gooey-in-the-center songs the band has pieced together. We are the founding band and members of Almost-Folk Records. Enjoy.
