i don't suppose you know the roses the sand dollars, hurricanes daughters leave me sad afternoons i had dreamt i had dreamt of a life of a life like 'hours in the garden' but humanity aint no novel they don't feel me at all do they feel you? it aint sunny now, evil's catching on the light is gone boundlessness- the suggestion of her legs in a pencil skirt electrofies my tropical sky but that crash of thunder that warm september rain aint meant for me cuz i had dreamt i had dreamt of a love of a love like henry & ms. barkley of a love like renata & charlie but my love aint no story no my love's always a charade.

NEON FLOWERZ 01:43
how about this clarity? all my thoughts burst chasing after her neon flowerz, firecrackers. here's why: i'm the only one who takes this heavy all my thoughts burst chasing after her neon flowerz, firecrackers. i just wanted to hurt him i didn't want to have to make you hear me all my thoughts burst chasing after her neon flowerz, firecrackers. i'm the water the crunch of snow the grey moth the paint brush.

selfish 03:16
hieroglyphics on your skin designs of sleep i find in the morning & with all this waking up with you i've got a lot of work to do in the canopy of evening tumbling thru the streets like driftwood from the balkans when you love somebody you must be their hero sometimes but mama's little boy's grown selfish i'm flying away i have to leave you love me it gives me the creeps me, this waste of sound, this tangled fog that holds you back from what you want

tell me now doll when you come around are you gonna fight with me? or when i lose my head when i lose my head are you gonna light the way? tombstone poetry she's speaking from her grave in a letter she sent to me & i get it baby i get it in a dream i circled blue lakes where the waves washed out our mistakes swimming with you tell me now doll when you come around are you gonna fight with me? or when i lose my head when i lose my head are you gonna light the way? burnt up, fallen angels she speaks in their mother tongue collects soldiers uniforms & how would it feel then to live that way instead? among all this broken furniture my feet rest on his ottoman but did he love you like i do?

GLITTER 03:12
weary of bed clothes i looked straight into your eyes & destroyed the folk song of our life we became so close by the end of the war but it's just too spooky living with your ghosts so i want glitter & big cigars cocaine with strippers fuck movie stars... so here i go barreling down geneva at 10 a.m to bury a rose say goodbye to my princess baby what happened to disposable camera pictures russian river vacation we took a bath it was my best friend jordan's birthday i said: "i love you, you remind me of him" haven't seen him since he moved to finland & i love you, you remind me of him... still love you. but now i got glitter & big cigars cocaine with strippers i fuck movie stars still love you... haven't seen you since you walked away still love you... i do

sometimes i wish that i could just join a gang cuz life's only as precious as precarious the streets are dangerous for sure but the hood shows love while all these well to do people i know are cold as fuck my love's neon & permanent my love's like graffiti paint my love's a crime by morning light so my love always goes to waste i like making rice you like making calls & it makes no difference if you show up drunk to my house & i act pissed off it's just cuz i'm a pouty bitch who constantly tells heself that me's the best cuz him is scared 2 death so when you're happy asking he "baby what's wrong?" it's hard for him or i to admit

colorado 02:42
you said: "i'm gonna work so hard, so that nothing can break my heart. i'm gonna be happy like a dog splashing swimming with a stick. i've been having a hard time for a long time you said i've been having a hard time..." you are returning that is why you're wounded come love be my basket i'll sway you gently line your insides with patterns & at night time you can tell me all about colorado you said: "my spirit's reached this valley where it's stuck & ready to transcend love cuz these injuries of affection have cost me a fortune so nowadays when some old owl looks in my direction i just look away cuz i know the outcome."

i come home late after closing the coffee shop make myself some dinner then get to drinking & peter down at the corner store the young man, our friend remember? well, he's moving on he don't work there anymore i went by last night & he was gone & i just wish i could tell you wake up, phone call from the LAPD say they wanna talk to me about the theft can't say i haven't been keeping busy i couldn't write a song so i tried to play that song that we used to sing together bout sailing couldn't make it thru the first verse without breaking down & crying what the hell is wrong with me... hey i just wish we could sing it. to answer your letter- most days i'm doing fine but sometimes i still get deep down dark & feeling low but now i wear sunglasses & a big jacket & get so high that i can't see the bottom it helps a little & when it's too hard to handle i call carlos yeah, we talk it out.. but i just wish i could call you. remember that time we rode the train to san mateo & met up with my mom & her husband she'd just found $20 on the ground so she took us out to lunch & it was raining after that we said goodbye then walked down to the tea gardens beneath our broken umbrella & when we got there it was closed we did our best to enjoy ourselves despite it all but by then the sun was setting on our problems i want to say sorry. i got this whole trunk of love poetry between us that i can't put away or throw away or even begin to think about so it just sits in the window waiting for the day when some new little rose is gonna be heading on over & i'll just sweep it away sweep our memories up like i'm making my bed without thinking just like i'm making my bed without thinking & that's no way to say thank you that whole thing about the LAPD well- it's not as bad as it sounds i just cashed a check for somebody that turned out to be stolen i think i did it cuz i was lonely i got the call today that the bank's gonna pay restitution but there was a while there where i thought i was gonna get thrown in a cell or be on the line for $5000 & you don't know the first thing about it beginning middle or end but it's still you that arrests me & robs me

about

recorded live to cassette on a tascam 4 track in the kitty kastle with a korg vulca beats drum machine between the months of august and october 2014. was crying alone in the demons dungeon writing 'tombstone poetry' & 'glitter'. played a major role in stealing $4760 from a dentist in los angles. only got $60 out of the deal. gonna donate it to suicide prevention once i can find the emo strength to pull the dirty money out of these weird timberland oxfords i bought at goodwill in the ex. the tascam broke & i lost the drum machine on a trip l.a in january. light is gone.

cassette release thru SUNROOMRECORDZANDSALON.bandcamp.com in october.
