Do Not 02:24
Do not fuck with the unfathomable The dirt you are made of Is the oldest thing on Earth Do not dishonor it. Your life is smaller than Anything you can imagine It will follow you on the current Over the waterfall And be gone forever Drowned in the roar of the pink noise Of everything happening at once
2.
I want to look out the window and see the void The walls of your bedroom go on forever Off in eternity, damning time. I want to know that the world means nothing now And this is everything
3.
I am tired 03:23
We named ourselves of demons and pestilence Knew nothing in this world worth our while We declared love and war For everything and each other And nothing I cut my teeth on my reflection You paint my eyes blue What does the mirror know What does the body mean Healing starts remembering how to breath
4.
Greyhound 04:19
The ocean of grass On the shore of the sky Pale green Rippling unto the pink sand Breakwater blue Silhouettes of hills Holding it all aloft Adrift and small: Us, dwarfed and drowned In the beauty of it all. A country road can be another world, But you may only go there once. I want to look out a window and see the void For the walls of your bedroom go on forever Off, damning time. Off in eternity. [unintelligible] I want to know this is everything And know that the world means nothing Now, Forever. Forever. [screaming] My heart beats One breath is full Of foggy daybreak streets Dampened with ethereal rain Pine needles and roof tin Under bare feet the moon in the concrete sky Dirt road downhill wind The shape of rocks Under the clear water Of the biggest river And the ecstasy of getting sunburnt The feeling of never wanting to turn your back on the ocean
5.
Stowed away and under I am made of water I cannot sleep, Beneath all I wait For darkness to go away The world is nothing now As far as I can tell And I'm waiting to steal Myself From nothing Everything is snowmelt In eternity Inhabit my body Live in my mind I am not passing through Nor staying the night My body is the ground that I walk on I watch it betray me as the place where I live
6.
I will see your eyes For tomorrow's sunset You will see my dirty face A pillow for your crown 70 miles home Means nothing now For your eyes could burn a hole In the darkest room on the darkest night
7.
Winter 02:19
When I felt my life put me out Like a body does its ills, I remember what I knew: How to move The other world That rots behind the pay per view Facade oh This place is another when you move against the grain I could be staring west If not for the frozen wind I know the mountains Hold the horizon

May 03:34
The patch on the ceiling Breaths in and out A gasp Paper lungs The breath from the sky Comes in through The mouth of the house That's the open bathroom window The door to my room, The one with the shitty lock Breathes in and out, Rattles in its frame. The sky is all Swelled and purple Like it should be Dripping with its rain It's been three days And the streets are all Baked and dry Don't take me For vengeful But I'd like to see The sky cry: Sky's tears remind me Of a mother's That would turn punishment Into a tender moment After a glass of wine leaves The child confused, The better for it.

about

This is a demo. These songs were recorded over the back half of 2019 and the start of 2020. The thread of continuity that brings them together on this album is my desire to see them out in the world in spite of their imperfections. I fully intend to re-record all of these songs in more polished forms and release them again in the future.

The name of the album is a nod to where the songs came from. I am a nocturnal gremlin, and most nights when I get out of work, I go to the Community of Sound space and practice music until 5:00 or 7:00am or so before walking home. The fully arranged songs on this album are each the product of one night's work. The versions on this album of "I am tired," "The Couch in the Basement," and "Northeast Kingdom" were all recorded within an hour before the thing was published.
