Daykiller 06:41
Stuck in the day killer Mood killer Life waster Energy drainer Back ager Trying to step out of my body like a pair of overalls Leave my glazing eyes Subordinate smile And be off to better things Try to live a full life in the cloud While my skeleton accumulates a wage Like parking tickets on an old beater My heart goes out to myself Martyr I am Christ on the clock
2.
Why-o Why-o 06:23
Why-o why-o The depressos sink Their sunken teeth in And nothing sticks And nothing sparks And nothing affects anything else It’s the bourgeois dream Of speckless surface Gliding passionlessly Morning to night

Chickadee 07:30
The pain is the same little chickadee Bored outta my mind in the goddamn nursery Bored outta my mind in the open sore subway I’d take a thousand broken hearts to forget this toothache I’d take a thousand spry cows to the park to ruminate Where the critter to clock ratio is more humane Where the butterflies bang Revelation blooms Sink my teeth into sensation soon Birds and bees in the brain Frustration in the neighborhood The depth and its fangs Blew a canyon down the road Between today and yesterday I spent one brutal summer in the valley of heartbreak I came out loving love and loving hate I came out full of concepts like a dandelion I came out strung on the chatter of the day I came out frantically, slobberingly, hair pulling outly growing a flower Came out in season— Lifeblood green, cool and extremist Rising each morning bursting at the seams

I get a little bored And I’ll do anything The future can’t reach me When I’m all damned up Snort anything Kick anything Fuck it all Call anyone This frustration’s a live wire It’s pathological Fuck Fuck em all Fuck it Fuck the sun Nowhere to go I’m a tooth Fuck your gums Fuck your orthodontist Fuck your health insurance most of all My skeleton is deforming as we speak Cuz I have poor people’s health insurance And it’s no rush for em Fuck the moon

Fiend's Life 07:16
I been out in the sun all day I been down in the valley, fuckin A Dying and Scared of Dying and Lonely You could skip a stone in my arteries I got Saturday Sunday brain I got transgression and I got shame and I got nothing in between It's a fiend's life for me
7.
Gave up the luxury Gave up the loneliness From the flyblown pulp of me The fly flown to find you Buzz found to find you Here little commune A little space a little freedom Little broken eggs etc A crowbar windchime A singsong strategy I live in perfect harmony With everything that gnashes Everyone that needs somewhere to Sink their teeth Sink them in and let them get a little sleep
8.
It’s about running the world through you It’s the stuff that comes out The surface tension of creation between done and not done coulda not been done and done The threat of the tension The view from my porch and the view from my skull The view up askew in elsewhere angle It’s about trying to coax the sense out of the world Charm the sense Charm the pants off Here kitty kitty the sense of the world It’s the self as the voice as the trickling life through the cobblestones like dawn The blooming revelation Under calloused fingers The touch of the day The kiss and the ache What do I think when my feelings are sold to me Rock n roll beats in my blood and in my magazines I was born to be had I was typecast for everything I’m thinking of my baby and I love her so desperately

about

These are liberation sounds as I got em

The sound of the Day articulatizing me

It’s leaping music

It’s the dexterity of a voice and the strategy of a life

It’s no longer feeling ourselves in the petting zoo of images. No longer getting high off the fumes we generate by endlessly, mechanically circling the drain of self-reference and compulsory neurosis

Pop music pop art pop culture was a celebration of limitations and god bless em for it but we’re beyond that now. We’re bursting through. Not celebrating any borders.

This is rising and realizing, paper tigertizing, easyspeak. Lifeblood green, serene and extremist.

Birds and bees in the brain

Frustration in the neighborhood

It's the proof album. The concept given its realest shot. It rhymes with the last one it’s cuz the current is the same, the antagonists are the same. The stakes are the same as they've ever been. Revelations come back around— eternal return etc.

Recorded live over two weeks in Lincoln Heights Los Angeles
