lyrics

footstep (a smile in script)

i die easy and i’ve always been made fun of for that

kill time
shoot the breeze
drove home with a dead cloud tied to my roof rack

computer buzz
nothing reminds me of summer more

these are my muscle spasm pieces

every ceiling’s just another floor
and the world’ just another conversation
going in circles
the argument she just won’t let die
my tv’s just another picture book - i just don’t have to flip the page or
interpret the theme
it does all that for me

the sun always falling for his 5 o clock shadow that we’re not trying too hard look

emotional land mime acting out the proper way to get stuck in a box and not let your tongue
push your words around the continuity piece in my pieces is
obvious very like a broken heart attempting to sign up for the 100 meter dash

this is how real people smile
all teeth and no feeling

watch the stuttering kid attempt to read his paper on grace and perfection
honking all the way home

i’ve been practicing my casket pose
lie still and it will all be over soon

(all other voices are reading don dellio's 'white noise')

When I say this record reached out from my tiny iPhone and grabbed my medulla oblangata, squeezed it until hyper-lysergic goo spritzed across the room, I am engaging in hyperbole. When I say this album is the best beat tape I’ve heard in years, I am spitting facts. Love love love!! Jay Hodgson
