Proficient to the Day

SERMONS FROM THE DRAIN is a filthy gospel for the unholy and unshaven — a concept record born from the gutter, blending grunge, punk, and sludge rock into something weirdly spiritual. It’s the story of redemption through grease, noise, and bathroom philosophy. Every track’s a sermon: wild, self-aware, and loud enough to shake the pipes.

Professional No One Mix

[Verse 1]
Your core has spoiled
And my desire for you has soiled
What a fucking waste
Oh, how I miss your taste

[Verse 2]
The juice was worth the squeeze
The lies were worth the tease
Such a toxic trait
Such a way to seal my fate

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love,
your essence
How I miss
your fucking presence

[Chorus]
Your shitty cherry blossom scent
I always knew what that meant
When you'd wear it, you left
me alone, by the phone
wondering if you'd ever come back home.

[Verse 3]
I could beg
and I could damn well plead,
but that love doesn't matter
so there's no fuckin' need

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love,
your essence
How I miss
your fucking presence

[Chorus]
Your shitty cherry blossom scent
I always knew what that meant
When you'd wear it, you left
me alone, by the phone
wondering if you'd ever come back home.




Cherry Blossom

Original Song by Queens of the Stone Age, Songwriters: Josh Homme, Joseph William Castillo, Troy Dean Van Leeuwen

[Verse]
You wanna know
Why you feel so hollow?
Because you are
You're missing out?
Well, if you say so
Then you're missing out

[Chorus]
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane

[Verse 2]
You wanna know
Just how long you can hide from
What you are?
Not very long
I have been lost
Down every road I follow
Out in the dark
On my way home

[Chorus]
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane

[Bridge]
But I feel nothing, am I better yet?
But I feel nothing, am I better yet?
But I feel nothing, am I better yet?
But I feel nothing, am I better yet?



[Outro]
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane
Everybody knows that you're insane

Everybody knows that you're insane

"How to Make the Best of Things" is a Slacker Rock anthem for the doomscrolling generation. Blending the angular guitars of Art Punk with the infectious rhythm of Dance-Punk and the grit of Lo-Fi Indie, this track turns a boiling pot of anxiety into a danceable groove.

Style: Slacker Rock / Dance-Punk / Art Punk

[Verse 1]

I watched a new clip about a sad thing
With many folks yelling
It's a pity they don't see
That yelling doesn't solve anything
And I wondered what would help
And then I remembered a tip from my mom
She said "A pot of boiling water
Will never calm down if you keep adding fuel
But it might if you add pasta
And make dinner with it"
And I figured
Maybe it's the same with people
Maybe they just need more pasta
Maybe they just need more pasta

[Verse 2]

I saw another clip about a different sad thing
With more people yelling
And I wondered what would help
And then I remembered a tip from my dad
He said "A pot of boiling water
Will never calm down if you keep adding fuel
But it might if you add eggs
And make breakfast with it"
And I figured
Maybe it's the same with people
Maybe they just need more eggs
Maybe they just need more eggs

[Verse 3]

But some folks are lactose-intolerant
So I asked my uncle if he had any tips
And he said "You can boil potatoes"
And my aunt said "You can steam veggies"
And my cousin said "You can poach chicken"
And I figured
Maybe it's the same with people
Maybe they just need more potatoes
Maybe they just need more vegetables
Maybe they just need more chicken
Or more pasta or more eggs
And I know people aren't pots of boiling water
But maybe that's how you make the best of things

Where Did You Go, Where Did You Stay
© 2025 Geoff French

The streets are neon but the colors don’t talk
I’m chasing shadows of a voice I once caught
A labyrinth of sound I can’t unmake
Every step forward feels like a mistake

Where did you go where did you stay
Did you leave your name or throw it away
I’m shouting at the void with nothing to say
Where did you go where did you stay

I painted our story on a broken screen
The pixels scattered like a distant dream
The silence howls like a midnight train
Every song I write echoes your name

But the notes fall out of tune
And I’m lost in a spinning room

Where did you go where did you stay
Did you leave your name or throw it away
I’m shouting at the void with nothing to say
Where did you go where did you stay

Tides pull me under the static hum
A kaleidoscope breaks but the colors run
I can’t find the frame can’t rewind the scene
It’s a carousel trapped in a looping machine

Where Did You Go, Where Did You Stay

Rug Burns

[Verse]
Isn't it swell
Let down when you need help the most
Going through hell
Living on the edge
Just a ghost

[Pre Chorus]
Let down by the system
left out in the rain like a rusting piston

[Chorus]
Need a helping hand
But the system's gone and missed 'em
Sinking in the sand
Getting nothing
No assistance

[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker
Promises fade
No one to trust
Just shadows in parade
Hope feels thin
Like paper torn
Dreams collapse
Hearts worn and worn

[Pre Chorus]
Let down by the system
left out in the rain like a rusting piston

[Chorus]
Need a helping hand
But the system's gone and missed 'em
Sinking in the sand
Getting nothing
No assistance

[Bridge]
Every turn's a cul-de-sac
Every step
A heavy pack
Shouting loud
The echo's flat
Where's the fight to bring it back?

[Chorus]
Need a helping hand
But the system's gone and missed 'em
Sinking in the sand
Getting nothing
No assistance


[Outro]
Where is the help we need 
Lost in the depths of corruption and greed
When will we see the light
When will they start to make things right
Where is the help we need 
Lost in the depths of corruption and greed
When will we see the light
When will they start to make things right

Make things right
Oh oh Make it right
Make things right
Oh oh Make it right
