Not Overall 02:46
Nothing to say at all, The bodies decay at a crawl. Some days, I don't think at all. Some days, but not overall. Fuck this, I think I'm going to die, So I might as well give it a try, Some days, I wake and the world's died, Whats worse is, I usually survive.

It's a glint of steel in the bathtub, That drifts on the breeze of an open wound. She's talking to me, and I'd rather not listen. The walls have eyes that lead her, Exactly where, I wonder? As she tries to lead me down the road. So lets go! She says "Why not do it now? I'll show you a quiet place. It would be my saving grace to finally let you rest". And the voice in there has reason enough to make me wonder, Maybe this isn't such a bad idea? So lets go! She peels the background, fingers through my hair. She says it's time to go now, there's nothing else here. She's sinking through my skin now, (she's creeping through the door), I'm trying to crawl away, (She's sinking through the floor) So let's go! (the sky is a blackened ceiling)

Thirty years into space, there's bodies trapped inside cold coffins. I sit beside them at night, We've got a few years left of flight. The lights are starting to close their eyes. I'll be in dust that sticks to your shoes. I'll be in the empty space that takes a while to fade away. I'll be in photographs, in boxes that you won't look at. I'll be around if you look back, but not for long. Forty years left in space, I could want I can't see my face. The lights start to dissipate, with fifty years left in space, I'm starting to think that this might be a mistake. I'll be in dust that sticks to your shoes, (clinging to any part). I'll be in the empty space that takes a while to fade away. I'll be in photographs, in boxes that you won't look at. I'll be around if you look back, but not for long. yeh

The skin sags as if death could seep in through the pours. The ribs escape flesh as if they'd grown bored. The red bottle caps explain, it gets worse, but from a state of unrest I make them prove its worth. Brain gives out as it predicts my choice, Recognised the pattern. Lows the head that exudes no voice while retching flowers.

Scream Songs 04:08
[static] [You're telling me GEESE is one guy?!] [static] [I continued to record music under the same name, cuz i felt that it was still the same recording project] Scream songs, pop off, rip off, stand off. Start clean, then fall inside, bled raw. Get fucked stud, go to hell, cursed cunt, break the spell. I know you wont, I know you well. I know you too well.

Floating 03:22
Dogs claw at the door, they want out. It's been closed for a day or so. No one hears them for a while, When they're let out, a stranger smiles, but not for long. The search hadn't found what they wanted, but stopped with what they found. He was floating above the ground, His feet would touch the floor. They helped him get down. He laughs and it scares them, It scares him the most. "You didn't help me!" says the ghost. "Can't you see it's getting worse?" Now he's crying and that's the verse. It's a cry for help, and that's where it ends. "Tell again, but must you, must you leave so soon?" "I'm sorry dear, I must be leaving soon." "Tell again, but must you, must you leave so soon?" "I'm sorry dear, I must be leaving you. I'd love to stay but I must be leaving soon."

The world is not afraid of you, I don't know what to say to you. The world will not delay for you. The stars, they just weren't made for you. The cracks begin to take root, Your confidence is overdue. The time they just won't give you, The time they just won't give to you. Oh, but you are of a special breed, a hometown hero making scenes, but without a lack of any means for anything that's worthwhile Everything you want is always out of reach. I know this. I know you. I know this. I know. I know you're just the same as me.

I've been thinking about replacing the sun, With the streetlight's glow. I've been thinking that the walls around me, Are getting too cold. I've been thinking bout the ground below me, Trying to swallow me whole. I've been thinking about the sky above me, It's getting too close. There's sounds from outside that sound strange in nature. I still don't recognise the shapes of all the figures. The curtains will stay drawn, it'll hide my face in. Inhuman after all, I'll follow what you say is "all for you, it's all for you" but that's what i wonder.

Talk About 04:12
The bags under the desk, it hasn't moved in a year or so. Doors are meaningless if they never get much use at all. No point in getting dressed when time is just a face on the wall. "Please let me know if you're doing fine, cuz we can talk about it. Please don't let it live inside your mind, cuz we can talk about it. Please dont let it grow at all in time, cuz we can talk about it." God I hope you're here in a years time, so we can talk about it.

I think I'm running out of time. I think I've run out of words that rhyme. This conversations getting tense With all my restarts and repents. I've got nothing to say, The point is in the way. The noise won't go away. The noise won't go away, and it sounds like... The rot is seeping into my being. The shallow whimpering, Uneven breathing. The shallow decay won't make it go away. And it sounds like...

about

I started this album roughly a few weeks after i finished technicolor. Part of it broke off to be The opener, which did better than i expected it too which was very surprising and made me happy. It also made me wanna redo most of the album so it didnt feel too much like the same thing so now its more of a noise rock/indie rock kinda situation.

I'd like to thank all of my friends who helped make this, who helped critique it and act as filters for my dumb ideas, and who put up with my self obsessed shilling of my own work during the process.
Special thanks to my good friends: Geordie Greep, Kanye West and finally, Heejin.
