Occlumency 06:36

Transmitting 08:50
thought I had a breakthrough but I think maybe I was just breakin' you and hoverin' on the brink of total collapse like the financial system like some complex set of tasks very hard for experts to understand them or was it my fault somethin' I could avoid or was it all my fault sometimes I wish I could go back do something different without havin' to face the facts without havin' to face the past you know we don't get better we just get used to fuckin' up it never gets better just get used to fuckin' up and fuckin' yourself oh who's gonna help you now oh who's gonna help you now oh who's gonna help you now don't have anything to offer no concise words to say all I know is I'll keep holding hopin' one day I can let it all go maybe just for a moment let it all go maybe just for a moment let it all go maybe just for a moment just for a moment just for a moment I thought I saw a way out I saw there's gotta be there's gotta be someone hears me someone who really hears me and I I I I'm still singin'

I been dreamin' of a mall where all my thoughts are bought and sold and all I am is spread out from store to store from floor to floor and I'm not afraid I'm not afraid of being consumed or running out of room shop and save don't step off the color tiles plenty of room in the aisles plenty of room we've got a lot offer you

first I met you I think I had a crush and then I spent more time with you and now I'm in love and then the next phase is when I start to be afraid you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me oh I hope so at first it's all fun fun and fuckin' games pretty soon you can't remember remember your fuckin' name you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me oh I hope so oh I hope so oh I hope so oh I hope so the little caterpillar well he just eats and eats and when he's had enough he turns into soup that's what you do I hope you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me you're gonna kill me and we'll be reborn no harm no harm done

Inside 07:38
can be hard to believe in things people say never get a look on the inside but if you could what do you think you would see with me I think I love you much more than you could or would probably imagine and if I if I put it all on the line for you what would you do I see that cult you call your family and I'd kill 'em all do they help you up or do they drag drag you down if you were bein' really honest if you could somehow have been from somewhere else well wouldn't you wanna try wouldn't you wanna try it you are so much more than you ever knew as much as he loves you he could never fit his arms around you

Look 01:55
sometimes I think about it sometimes I feel stuck sometimes I think about it sometimes it's all too much then I then I look inside

about

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

This album was recorded in one sitting on September 10, 2020 on a cassette 4-track, filling two tapes. 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.
