Lyrics: "It's got you twisted up inside, and you're stuck coughing, choking on this mass, it's stuck in your throat and you- its and- the more you choke on it the worse it becomes. you're gonna throw up- its' gonna happen- but you can choke it back a little longer, you know you can. Jesus Christ. and you can bring this on whenever. it doesn't go away. You'll just be choking a different amount. choking all the way into your lungs. hacking like a fucking choking dog. jesus christ." *far more distant now* " this is all that is left- of what came before us- a single message:" // //"as I look across this waste- // barren, bruised, desolate- // the air unbreathable, the sights unseeable, // the lives unliveable- // there's a fire in the sky // this is all that is left. " // //

"*Duncan:* "And this is an extreme, extreme version of a tornado knocking your house down- because uh- 4 years ago you called to tell us that you had 6 months to live. " "*Mother:* "I have been told that at least a dozen times " "A dozen times that you have 6 months to live" "I have been told to call a crematorium and find out how much it would cost to be cremated because I had maybe a month or six weeks and that needed to know that so that I could pay the money up front before I died. And I made the call to the crematorium and I found out that it was 750 dollars thank you very much." "Wow. God, that is so fucked." "The possibility that there is some kind of force that uh- will take us out when its time to go out is nothing that I can do anything about. So I may as well make peace with it. It's easier to go with the flow of that particular river than it is to try and fight it. That there is that possibility. We're all gonna die. Meditation is one small spiritual practice that prepares us for death. But also you know you just- if you look at the world what you see is things just appearing and disappearing. And humans are a part of the whole of that. And humans appear and then disappear- off the face of the earth. And that just happens. Our egos personalize it and we consider ourselves special cases, but we're really not. We're part of the whole, and everything in the whole transforms all the time, changes form, transfigures.

about

This is my first album, it is about my being trans, it is about things in my life falling apart, it is about a global pandemic, it is about the death of the mind, and it is about trying to hold on.

This release comes 2 years after it's debut. I have changed some of the song titles and added lyrics and descriptions for everything, hopefully you enjoy it. If you download the album you get the cover art in original and scary upscaled for bandcamp versions, PLUS you get a text document with more detailed liner notes than here on bandcamp. As a bonus bonus the text document contains my personal ranking of the songs on this album and my thoughts on each.

:)
