(again) are you losing your mind? are you losing your mind? waitin' for the miracle wake from the dream waitin' for the miracle to pop out of the screen do you know who you are? do you know who you are? do you know who you are? oh oh oh oh ooh

I see you everything you're trying to do I see you trying to move wishing on stars that won't come true I feel sorry for you I feel sorry for you what do you say? hoo ooh what do you say? what do you say? comes a day comes a day comes a day when you won't... when you won't... when you won't... what do you what do you

told you once musta told you about a thousand times what is yours what is yours and what is mine I know it's so hard where you end I start I know it's so fucking hard nobody told you how to have a heart I am sometimes startled by what I perceive to be sudden clarity sun and moon what each of us has got to do if we're ever goin' to improve I would like to help you when I get my bearings when I get my bear tie him up and I won't care about this or any of the shit in the past how long can it last? the past how long can it last? I'm sorry you got a raw deal but please excuse me I'm tryin' to heal oh I am tryin' in my basement I wrote my first song I didn't think it'd take this long to shut up to shut up to break open to give up on all that hopin' and look inside she dances she pirouettes in my brain in twenty years I'll probably feel the same I'm not givin' up on anything that wasn't empty this is what it's got to say I'm stopping stopping my charade puttin' an end to all of my sentences and starting from the truth I have always loved you I have always loved you (whistling)

about

I would like to tell you about how I made this album:

This album was recorded at the end of 2021 on a cassette 4-track and 8-track. Everything on those tapes is on the album in the order it was recorded.

I wrote the songs as I was performing them. When I got stuck I would start over or punch in where I gave up. All overdubs were done in as few takes as possible before moving on to the next song.

I call it an "improv album."

I hope it can be of use to you.
