Almost Dying 02:43
don't think twice about breathing, the same water in you will knock you down, and like the still bird lying on the pavement, almost dying, the setting sun'll look you in the eye. and under my feet there's a beat sinking into the street. and then i'm lying there like the dead bird on the ground - that's too far down and my mind gets stuck and i keep saying things'll change. its energy digging its roots in me i'm freezing cold and awake i'm breathing in everything that i can take but there's something new - just out of reach buried in a pile of all the things i never said now it's pounded tight by my sinking fist i'm closing my eyes but only getting an inch she said it over and over, not gonna say it again
2.
My Love 04:07
there's a spider in the hole where the tune escapes where it's formless before it comes to be. isn't it dry to be happy by calculating how to function functionally? larger constructs taste so bitter but there are no words with which to better watch all my faces pour, hard as i try, onto the floor, and wrench itself into something nicer love, it ain't the truth it only makes it harder to feel the heat and flood of holding in dreams of stranger warmth that barely pass in silence how i wanted to be kind to those quiet eyes, a shame that we both knew i could've done it there on the sidewalk, of course i stopped. it's hard to remember what's actually important sometimes how i wanted to be kind to that closing door but dread crept in too soon. a person not a story, help me find my hands in this dream, let me guard myself to sleep, before it flips like a coin planet. a person not a ghost, we all leave imprints in our wake, could be i tread too deeply in the sand
3.
No Fire 02:53
i know i'm not thinking all of the time i think all the time, i know it's no use, it's no use. friendships that breeze are fine, they validate, with faithfulness proved in oral displays, and goodness a cultural taste. maybe i glamorize, it's hard to stay suspended between yourself and your mind. and then i realize these things have changed, contorted in hand, i'm passive and grey and at their mercy - my reality is lost in the race. what they want, like fire it drives what i want passes from sight, seems so far away
4.
Wild Dogs 04:44
you're dead dust and so am i wild dogs and eyes so lay down every day with me until there are no days till then, float nowhere sirens blowing in the wind but i want to wake up i wanna feel a heart beating i'm riding round, my shoes wrecked down on the ground, slowing down broken down for a minute kicked around, gettin stretched out i love the look on your face when i haven't seen you in awhile and then you come for a visit cuz it's exactly how i feel

while mike was steadily developing his mad scientist space alien lightning static beastie zombie neil jung splatter paint guitar style,
från was catatonic face down in nearly the rock bottom of her life's big depression and managed to shit out one song a year, two times, despite having no personality whatsoever.
dave kept them alive, fueling them with a fire that burned on nervous energy, basketball trivia, magic the gathering, and other subjects requiring an encyclopedic memory and a mind for strategy. and they released this and thought it turned out pretty good after all.
