Lyrics:

Flashmeat
Inhale
Feel strange
Now love me

Watching the headcheese
How did we get this?

I feel deranged lile a jazzhole

Intertwine, intertwine on no one's side
From all the twining we're multiplying
Forget the wine...

Just need sometimes to know your lines for extra vibes
From all the striving we're multiplying
Forget the wine...

Refresh me
Abuse me
Perplex from elsewhere
Mashed up a foul piece
A 'Mr. Feelgood' for me

Jazzhole...
Headcheese...
Jazzhole...
Jazzhole...

Intertwine, intertwine on no one's side
From all the twining we're multiplying
Forget the wine...

Just need sometimes to know your lines for extra vibes
From all the striving we're multiplying
Forget the wine...

Appendix:

"Well, sometimes I feel like I'm a mean pickle
Stuck in a Carlos Santana action like that
But you know...I believe I used to be a racecar driver
But that was Jerry!
Because I was a truck driver!"

JAZZHOLE!!!

Single track "Used Future". Released 11/10/16

Used Future

In a sea of trees
You see a tree
With perfect branches
In symmetry

In a sea of trees
You see a tree
With broken branches
So ugly

You want to be this perfect tree
It looks so nice, so problem-free
Don't want to be this broken tree
It looks not nice, just how you feel

Trees

When a man’s just born - he’s weak and flexible
When he dies he’s hard and insensitive
When a tree is growing - it’s tender and pliant
But when it’s dry and hard - it dies

Hardness and strength
Are deaths companions
Because whar has hardened 
Will never win

But the most important - let them believe in themselves
They will be helpless like small children  
From pliancy and weakness comes freshness of being 
And our strength remains just nothingness

Hardness & Strength

Are people liars
Because they need their shell?
Are people devils 
Because they live in hell?

Don’t blame yourself
Let change yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Reflect yourself

Are people without love
Because they never got?
Do people hate
Because they lost?

Don’t blame yourself
Let change yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Reflect yourself

Why do we always fail
And try too hard on each other?
Why can't we all just live
'til we dissolve?

Don’t hate yourself
