This was an original song from the ska band I was in in high school. The band was called Woogity Tempo.

Sunshine Is OK (Rehearsal Demo)

My first attempt at making a black metal song, over a year ago.

All instruments, vocals, and lyrics done by me.

For the record, this isn't a christian song. The title is "Jesus of Nazareth" but the lyrics take a blasphemous approach, rather than a religious one.

Enjoy!

Iesous Of Nazareth

This is a somewhat recent song I made.

The sound quality is VERY lo-fi, as I recorded most of the instruments using the Voice Memos app on my phone.

I was experimenting with Crust Punk as an influence, while keeping some Black Metal in the sound.

All instruments, vocals, and lyrics done by me.

Hush, My Child

Made something weird.

All of the audio is original, except for the sound sample about a Dremel tool.

If feel like this would make a great hidden track if I ever release an album.

as lucidity bleeds

This is my first song with rapping. It's about my experiences living with Tourette Syndrome.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Error, Error System Error we have found a bug
All these vicious, twisted tics are sucking at my blood
Inside I am resisting terror, Fight it with the drugs
But pill after pill and it just still isn’t enough

My muscles keep on tensing and flexing, my body shakes
The pain is unrelenting, please end it in any way
My limbs tense up, till I’m fully locked up, but I don’t get no rec brake
And I’m just wishing I was twitching so hard I could let my neck brake

So sorry to bitch, but I can’t even pick shit
up or lift a cup to my lips and take
sips while my arms twitch like an epileptic
fit or getting licked in the clit

Whenever I talk, my coughs might stop
For a bit, but then they hit and everyone thinks I’m sick
Or that I have a habit, breathing smoke into my lungs. But really
what I have is a fucked up nervous
system.

  
[Verse 2]

And now it’s gotten worse
I cannot rehearse my songs, each verse takes
Too long to begin, I take a breath in and I try to sing
But grunts and my twitching tongue are the only thing

That get done, it overpowers everything
I’m just trying to live my life, I’m dying, but I say I’m fine
It’s difficult to eat, it’s difficult to breathe
When my mouth is already busy doing other things

And typically, I’m troubled trying to speak
I just wanna hold a conversation with my friends, I’m feeling tired and weak
A brief conversation takes me twenty fucking minutes
And I’m stuck right in it, Let me finish!

I can’t function without my medication
Last week I ran out while I was on vacation
And the frantic stress sure as hell didn’t help the twitching
My life is a time bomb, it never stops ticking till its time is up

Time Bomb

This is my first political song. I want to do more of these. All vocals, instruments, songwriting, and recording done by Batshit

Lyrics:

Slavery and incarceration
(Fuck the law!)
Concentration camps and deportations
(Hate the law!)
(Break the law!)
The system’s rigged to meet a quota
(Fuck the law!)
They really think that they fucking own us
(Hate the law!)
(Break the law!)

Who the hell do they protect when they attack, arrest, murder, and molest?
Who the hell do they serve, again?
It sure as hell ain’t us
(Sure as fuck ain’t us)

Incriminating reproductive freedom
(Fuck the law!)
Making immigrants and refugees illegal
(Hate the law!)
(Break the law!)
Incriminating houseless people
(Fuck the law!)
Under the law, no one is equal

Fuck The Law

This song is about the hypocrisy of the United States government. It's about the different buzzwords –positive and negative– that they use to evoke a sense of patriotism in us, without actually living up to these words or holding themselves to the same standard that they hold us. This song makes the argument that the government gives us patriotism so it can distract us from the many problems they're creating.

Lyrics:

Freedom is not something that you will be given
Freedom is something you take
Steal it back from the powers that bind you!

[Chorus]:
The powers that be are disseminating hypocrisy
To keep us proud to be living beneath them
They speak their empty words
And still we listen   


They say justice is blind
They gouged out both her eyes
So caught up in the laws, she cannot see what’s wrong or right

Cause justice is a lie
A cover for abuse
The only guilty criminals are the ones that they will choose

[Chorus]

They call it terrorism,
Protesting the state
Take nonviolent action and they lock you in a cage

Promising you rights
Unless you really make a change
Well you’re doing something right, if they feel so damn afraid

They call it heroism
Taking lives away
Murdering for money
Spreading fear and hate

Bombs fall on the innocent
Dismembered by the blast
Then you come back home a “hero”
And we have to kiss your ass!

[Chorus]

They have us where they want us and they’ll keep us there until…
