1.
when he woke up this morning he picked up the news and flipped thru the pages to find something good but he laughed when he saw there was nothing at all crawled back inside to make sense of the madness of things that were on his mind said, "today's gonna be the day that I leave this town fly away and never come down" so he packed up his bags and he flew far from home looking for lifeforms on any new planet but alas all he found were just planets of gas planets of rocks and all those other things that could never make a home so he backed up his craft and proceeded to laugh said, "I guess this is why things always seems bad"

itsy bitsy spider crawling up the water spout then came the rain pouring (falling) down on the ground tiny little legs move so fast they don't make a sound hiding from the storm, spider's gonna work it on out you crawl like a spider, better make yr spider web eating all the bugs that dare to cross yr wicked path sucking on the blood sucking on the blood sucking on the blood of the dead hundred million eyes sitting on top of yr head they look looking so mean, looking so mean right at me they're looking like it's time looking like it's time to feed crawl up my skin show me yr teeth sink in yr fangs suck the life out of me life out of me little bitty spider fighting for survival now crawling thru the streets trying to make sense of it all trying to get to me trying to get to me me thru the crowd you dirty little spider better wash yr dirty mouth out looking so mean, looking so mean right at me they're looking like it's time looking like it's time to feed crawl up my skin show me yr teeth sink in yr fangs suck the life out of me life out of me hey! life out of me
3.
will you hound like the dogs who go hide in the back so will you keep calling police to beat my bones will you be naming the names that keep ringing and will you still hear me if I'm just a ghost somehow I've managed to get out of the coffin and into the old picture shows will you keep barking like the beast of all burdens taking yr time to release me from evil somehow I've waited much longer than usual just to get something I need like a child who can't feel like a boy who can't kneel like a saint with no halo to bring heaven down how long can he stand can he see, can he be like a sheep without skin or the tears of a clown like they say oh my poor boy, you've been waiting so long oh my poor boy, you've been waiting so long oh my poor boy, you've been waiting so long waiting so long to get high
4.
I'm not singing a song that's gonna change the world I guess I'm not the type cause all the while we're waging war I'd rather live my life and the world goes on and the world goes on I'm not singing a song to all my peers there's nothing that I can do when everyone has their own fears and their own points of view and the world goes on and the world goes on and the world goes on and the world goes on and the world goes on and the world goes on
5.
so the people were ready for the kid from Atlantis who tattooed his foreskin with a page from the bible relinquishing evil like he was blowing up temples oh, he will drown this city down so they were all ready for that man from Atlantis who had glowing eyeballs and bleed like a dragon he put his mode down to his lesson I hope he had one of their intentions but they drown this city down and he drown this city down so ate into a bottle he ate it down till he drank all the glass and there was nothing left and he held out his hands and he said, "I hope yr king gungugnunh understand 'cause" he will drown this city down he will drown this city down
6.
so all the chemicals that the people take so everyone can find a way for them to break all the simple rules of the human race and all the statuettes of the architects showing all the people how not to forget there's plenty of other ways to leave yr face oh, everyone has gotta grow old and everyone has gotta learn to die but all those medicines might not do you in yr still bound to lose yr life in the end and everyone has gotta face their fate oh, everyone has gotta grow old and everyone has gotta learn to die
7.
So back from Mexico the only story told beyond the bullet holes and Cortez's gold was that of the old man from Mazatlan who lost his hand in a night fight just before the night he died so at age 24 he made love to a Spanish whore she fell hard and wanted more of what he wore the name his family held for centuries he could not seize away from her prying eyes as 50 years go by he held his alibi he never raised his knife to protect his life never had a reason to feel no shame but she changed the game when she got all of her men to challenge him so for his final stand he took out 30 men until the final one cut off his hand and won he said, "old man yr thru and I'm not a boy you knew you have forsaken me see, I'm yr family tree" "I am yr only son" "I am yr only son" "I am yr only son" "I am yr only son" and so the day he died the man he set aside into the family trust his son with all his lust and one last word of advice don't ever waste yr pride trying to find the right bed to lie
8.
half a mile out of San Antone lived William and his son half a year they lived alone and stockpiled all their guns made a bunker for the time they would hide it out from the government seemed that William failed to pay and be a proper citizen little Billy had some doubts about the way his mother died considering the whole thing out never seemed like suicide but he never questioned anything believing he could find the truth William made sure he kept his ways from ever raising suspicious looks half a mile out of San Antone hid William and his son the federales came along to end all they had done they raised hell and caused a panic all across the greater states but in the end their fire died and soon no one would remember their names
9.
down deep below the gravel underneath the surface hiding from the humans who plot to seek us out out among the living walking thru the market feeding on the rich of bloody lying leaders who try to plan our future try to plant the seedlings that grow into a nation form into a nation nation of destruction destruction of solutions to all the silly problems that plague all of the masses populate the planet populate the heavens high above the surface where people tend to fuck up every constitution every institution every little system that kept them all in check oh, can't ever go back can't ever go back

about

This is another collection of demo tapes recorded in Orange, CA. Dating back to the summer of '05, these songs were written in a period where I nearly lost myself to the darkness of insomnia and paranoia. Written and recorded in the depths of instant improvisation, the tunes took form to tell the stories of their characters. Thematically, all of them battle their own demons and look inward to find the solutions that can make life easier to bear. Such is life, the obstacles we all face don't always pan out the way we want; but as long as we continue to go on living with hope in our hearts, perhaps one day we will land safely where we belong.
