about
my first album is almost done but i was told i should put out a few singles first, haha. so here's the opening track off of the album. enjoy, thanks for listening.
bandcamp made me upload this as a wav so if you download this, i have no idea what the metadata will look like, so have fun with that.

lyrics
i know, circumstances not withstanding
this shouldn't be that difficult
my new circumstances are demanding
so i find it hard to apologize
i just left the morgue, covered in my own blood
a suicide attempt that was successful, and then wasn't
this ain't rock'n'roll, this is my attempt
at creating catharsis, and moving along
(... onward ... get outta here)
(i feel like a nervous young man fingerfucking a girl that he met in junior high school, because that's the only way he can get her to shut up)
this isn't self-control, it's incongruence
between what i am, and believe, and choose to believe
somersaulting bodies, falling down onto the pavement
had better chances of getting back up
(by the way, nice to meet you. i'd shake your hand if i wasn't just a disembodied voice that you're hearing through your headphones or whatever you're listening in on)
i cram too many words into most of my songs
because i have too much to say, and too much time to work with it
i don't talk very much, and half of my words are "um"
but these overflowing thoughts make up for it
(they say the more vocal you are about your opinions, the more likely you are to stand by them. actually, they don't just say shit like that, apparently it's a scientific fact, and i'm soft spoken. This is the last of these)
i know, circumstances not withstanding
this shouldn't be that difficult
my new circumstances are demanding
and they sparked bad habit genocide
i know, in a year I'll move on again
but for now, this will be how i cope
when God made man, he didn't say "this is perfect"
he said "it can improve, but this is good."
