As a great guitarist from Seattle once sang, "All in all is all we all are."

LYRICS:

In my little room this Spring
There's nothing, there's everything
The silence I hear when I sing
It's nothing, it's everything
I wake myself into a dream
Find nothing, find everything
My mind calls, I just let it ring
I'm nothing, I'm everything

I wanna swallow you
I'm gonna swallow you
I wanna swallow you
Whole
I wanna swallow you
I'm gonna swallow you
I wanna swallow you
Hole

Hey

In my little head this Fall
There's nothing, except for all
Sitting down but walking tall
I'm nothing, but still I'm all
A room without surrounding walls
Have nothing, collecting all
Getting bigger, staying small
We're nothing, but yet we're all

I wanna swallow you
I'm gonna swallow you
I wanna swallow you
Whole
I wanna swallow you
I'm gonna swallow you
I wanna swallow you
Hole

The universe is dark and light
It's on and off, it's wrong and right
It's here, it's there, it's seen, unseen
It's this and that, and all between
It's magical but still mundane
It's always different and still the same
Sit still, let it swallow you
For good or bad, that's up to you
It doesn't care which one you choose

It doesn't care which one you choose

In my little world this Summer
Getting smarter, sounding dumber
Feel so happy, it's a bummer
Yeah I'm smarter, still I'm dumber
Feeling more but getting number
Thinking smarter, talking dumber
Am I the strings or just a strummer?
I am smarter because I'm dumber

I wanna swallow you
I'm gonna swallow you
I wanna swallow you
Whole
I wanna swallow you
I'm gonna swallow you
I'm gonna swallow you
Hole

I'm gonna swallow

I'm gonna swallow you
Here I come to swallow you
Just watch me swallow you
I'll swallow you
Whole, whole, whole
I wanna swallow you
Just let me swallow you
Breathe deep, I swallow you
Hole

In my little head this Winter
Thoughts arriving, none may enter
The universe is just a splinter
Pluck it out, don't let it enter

Swallow

SWALLOW

Hey there, y'all! I'm Funk McPuke, an artist and musician originally from Los Angeles, CA but now living in my own little world.

After being in a bunch of punk and metal bands, I started writing and posting my own music here as a way of journaling feels, processing emotions, having fun with sounds, and annoying my neighbors. I decided early on to always just write whatever I was feeling in the moment and never chase an audience or clicks or clout, the result being that my music is a mix of various styles I like in various balances without any attempt to cater to a particular audience or genre. Depending on the song, you might hear a little punk, metal, grunge, electro, rap, post-hardcore, industrial, or any combination of those and other genres. I like to squish different sounds together and see what happens. If it sounds good, has a catchy hook, and makes me want to either cry or jump on my furniture and break stuff, it gets posted. Soundcloud is my place to play around and have a good time making music I enjoy without overthinking it too much. 

Ymmv. If you like one thing and one thing only -- like, if you're one of those people who believes punk has a uniform or something is "not metal" if it doesn't sound like all the other bands you listen to -- this might not be for you. Or maybe it is. Idk. I'm not the boss of you. Give it a listen and decide for yourself. And, hey, if you don't like one song, try another. You might like that one better.

Either way, I'mma keep writing and posting music for myself. But, y'know, if you find some lyrics you connect with, some hook that makes you bounce around your house, or just something to put on while you FINALLY do those dishes that have been stinking up your kitchen for the past week, then welcome. Even though I'm not chasing an audience, I do love getting messages from people who've connected with something I've made. It makes me feel less alone in the world and, for all those people who've messaged me in the past or will message me in the future, I appreciate you. I truly do. Thanks for stopping by and giving me a listen. I may write this music for myself because I think that's the best way to keep it honest, but I still believe music, like all art, is best when it's shared.
