This is the 3rd song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I have worked on together for my CKP page. I wanted this latest track to continue with the electronic hip hop vibe we had established with our previous two tracks.  Bitzone dug into his rich production archive and found a beat 10 years deep that met the criteria. This time I sent the track first to Frawstakwa to switch things up, since the last two songs I had started off. Frawstakwa came up with these deep metaphysical verse and chorus lyrics and I added a literal interpretation with my verse that I hoped would complement his meaning while keeping in theme with the previous two tracks. Bitzone then worked his magic and transformed the track into an electronic hip hop rock fusion. And then for a final surprise, he asked Joerxworx to join in with some futuristic EWI. In the end, I like that this track is different from It Ain’t Looking Good and Trendsetting and I think it points at a possible new direction for the next track we all work on together. 

Thank you for all your listenings, comments, playlists, radio spins, and purchases. The musical team is eternally grateful. 
Don’t loose hope, keep faith in yourself and your community, be creative, and persist.

Lyrics

Oh, this is just great 
Yo, gimme a break 
No, Freudian slip made
So, it’s no mistake
Go, psycho analyze it 
Though, am I insane
In the membrane
Or normal
It’s weird right?
We’re here but so briefly
Mere mortals
Appears our fate is foretold
How unfortunate 
Of course there’s this
Who says we have to forfeit free will
Forget about it
We are forward thinkers 
And forces of nature
Scratch that - supernatural
Look at how we have grown
And evolved
Lets explore
What’s beyond
What is known 
And accepted by all
Be omnidirectional 
Slow, in the fast lane 
Flow, like a mixtape
For, goodness sake
Over and over again 
Face total
Loss of control
Lack of faith
Don’t trip though
Effects cause vertigo
Catch wreck, let ‘em know
Fact check, general 
Search, research
Both the world and the earth
First you learn
Then you teach
Art and culture
To reach out and touch 
All of the people 
Them, no doubt indeed

What difference does it make
If at any given rate
The only thing that matters in the end is too late

What difference does it make
If at any given rate, yo!

Have you ever felt alone
In a place so dark, so vast, so cold

Everyday I pass by
The same lame busted gate 
The same 
Boarded up broken windows and
Old rusted grates
The same
Overflowing trash cans continue to accumulate with a ever-growing stench that won’t abate 
It’s the same
Neighborhood cats talking smack on da crates 
It’s the same
Families falling flat with not enough food on their plates
I’m passin’ by the same
Kids in baseball hats standing wet in wait 
Out there gettin’ rained on cause the bus is running late 
It straight 
Hasn’t changed at all 
What difference does it make
I’m still awake at dawn 
Exerting on 
Getting my debt rate gone
Word is born
What difference does it make
Cause pass generations gone
Still couldn’t pass it on
What difference does it make

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
Things just stay the same

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
We keep on playing games

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
There really isn’t even anything else left for me to say

Water running down my skin
Gentle, soft, a fuzzy joy within
Neon lights in synch with the beat of my feet
Smiling at my face in a puddle beneath me

The world looks so bright
I feel safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight So glad you’re alright

Walking down the windy streets
Say good-bye to all my defeats
What a crazy life this has been so far
Threw away the safety-pins but kept the jar

The world feels so brght, yeah
I am safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight
I won’t expedite this life, yeah

I can see it
I can see it in your eyes
Love, love, love
I can feel it
I can feel it in your smile
Feel it in your smile
The love, the love, the

The love

So glad
I feel safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight
I won’t expedite this life, yeah 

The world feels so bright
I am safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight So glad you’re alright
No reason to fight So glad you’re alright

Song And Lyrics By Hurtful Junez And The Hate Catz

I've Stopped all My Foolin
And Went Back To School And
I didn't Make The Grade 
I jumped Through Your Hoops
Tied Myself Into Loops
I've started to feel myself fade
In Times Of Crisis 
I'm Made to Play Nice and
A penny Earned Is A penny Saved
You've got to set Goals and
Dig Your own Holes
Sleep In That Bed That You Made
I'm Kinda Reminded
Wish We Could Rewind it
But There's Nothing Left To Be saved 
Now Shut That Front Door
Don't Come Back No More
Find Someone Else To Enslave
It's Some Kind Of Crime
You Wasted My Time
Swept away Like Dirt On The Floor
With Friends Like These
Who Needs Enemies 
You Used Me Like I was A Whore

AH SWEE MOBLIE

HAPPY NEW YEARS 
ONE MORE TIME AROUND THE SUN

Pictures of You
Shadows on the Walls
Likeness of You
Everywhere I Go

The city Lights
Talk to the stars Above
Telling them About 
The sweet love we once Had

I laugh at Myself
Light up a Cigarette
And try to Forget 
Before the pain sets in

The redness in your Eyes
The black lines around your Lips
The texture of your Hips
Reminds me of one of my fathers Ties

The curtains Blew
From winds that came from way up High
I was sitting on the Edge
So I just got High
And remembered You

Pictures of You
Shadows on the Walls
The likeness of You
Follows me everywhere I Go

Unity

Don't give me your body if I can't have your soul 
Struggle to find something to fill this hole 
I get high because I feel so low 
People you've gotta try not to be so cold....to your brotha

Don't let those rumors contaminate your mind 
The truth will free you of this bondage in time 
People come together, you've gotta do it quick 
You've gotta care for your brother when he gets sick
You’ve gotta stand firm, join hands and help someone
You can only regret what you have not done

Come together, Jah Love, Come together children

—Chorus—
We need Peace, We need Love, We need Unity
 Down with hate, down with violence, down with brutality

We've turned guns each other every day and night 
Nobody even remembers what is wrong and what is right 
The government argues with them self to avoid any resolution 
People need hope so they cry revolution

Come together, Jah Love

—Chorus— 

—Bridge—
You, you, me, me, All we need is Unity
Peace, Love, You, Me, All we need is Unity
Unity and Love

Greed is a disease of the mind and the soul
Only culture may save us from losing control
Children must seek the truth, don’t hesitate
You’ve got the power to save this world from certain fate
One man is weak, community stands firm
Educate your brother and the world will learn

Come together, Jah Love, One Nation, I-ration!

—Chorus—

the-groove

It’s just another Saturday night
And I don’t feel right
I can’t seem to get myself in the groove 

It seems no matter what I try
I can’t even get myself high
I can’t get into the groove

I guess it’s just not all that big a deal
I guess I’ll have to be myself
I’ll have to be real, real, real

Just as long as I have you by my side
I’ll have myself a natural high 
I’ll find the groove

I guess that will just have to do
Were gonna get into it
Gonna find the groove me & you


The Groove

Shaking Your Hate

here in the dark 
i found myself 
lost scared and meaningless 
spend to much time to follow you 
these hills can't get high enough 

so much to fall 
so high to crawl 
if only i find the scene 
where i can speak for only me 
teach me where will i be 

day one repeats 
i am still here 
these seas can't get deep enough 
i follow you 
not question you 
the air can't get thin enough 


so much to fall 
so high to crawl 
if only i find the scene 
where i can speak for only me 
teach me where will i be

Here In The Dark

An unnecessarily long song with no true chorus (thank/blame R.E.M. haha!) and, for the first time ever in the whole Behold the Sludge catalogue, no kind of rhyme structure whatsoever. Taking cues from everyday life, the title simply comes from me and my wife telling my daughter to stop mumbling so much. 

“Mumble”

If I told you where I’m going 
Would you say you’re on your own 
And if I knew what I was doing 
I swear I’d let you in 
If the thoughts all made some sense 
I’d tie it all together  
To try and explain the madness 
In one package  

But I never could quite fathom 
Just what they all were chasing 
It never seemed within our reach 
kept drifting farther away 
Through solace and dumb comfort 
The safety was a mirage 
It torched our sanctuary 
Exposed it for what it was 

Mumble, mumble away....

Embrace the aftermath 
The end of the saga 
Whatever comes after 
We still won’t understand it 
So much to comprehend 
Ignorance of common sense 
A voice beneath the surface 
You can’t escape the beast (relent)

And sometimes things just happen
We will never understand 
Put our hands on the glass 
And squeeze it til it cracks 
In our nature was a fear 
Magnifies the gaping void 
Dwells on the blunt trauma 
Brings the motion to a stop 

Mumble, mumble away 

If I told you where we’re going 
Would you even see it through 
No sense of understanding 
Just bleed until it’s all dried up 
No purpose in all that tragedy 
Not one single point 
A hatred of the unknown 
Falling into that hole...

Rise up and shine bright, kid 
This ain’t gonna be a grave 
If the sludge was such a friend 
Why’d it leave you behind?
Below the surface is a bruise
It’s defined you too many times 
Never even got the point 
Just gave up even trying 

Mumble your life away 
Mumble, mumble

Who You Are

Thanks to Matt Rudolph on the upright bass!

Lonely Heart

You called my name
I called your bluff
Your heart was so empty
I couldn’t fill it up

Jealous eyes
Lonely heart
Let’s stop all this fighting 
Take me back to the start

—chorus—
Closer now
Closer now than ever

You dealt out blame
I wouldn’t accept it
Can’t be wrong all the time
But you know that’s how you saw it

—chorus—

—bridge
Well I tried so hard
But it seems like your mind was decided
You portrayed the victim
But it was me that ended up gaslighted


Closer now
Closer now than ever
Closer now
I'm getting ready to leave forever

Lonely Heart

Signs and Signals

Upon the sadness all smeared up

A light hearted bluesy song about a guy going to a party and not remembering a thing afterwards.

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Invited to a party, last Saturday night
Got me all dressed up, I just-had to look right
Lot’s of pretty women walking about
Thought I did my best to not freak out

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Must‘ve had a drink or two, or maybe many more
My memory’s kind of fuzzy after walkin thru the door
Hope I wasn’t rude and craz to anybody there
Just hoping for a good time, but I guess I didn’t care
 
Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Did I do the macarena, or strut the chicken dance
With the O Jays and Kool and the Gang, I just didn’t stand a chance
Could have been the beer, or maybe whisky shots
But I tell you one thing my friend, my head sure hurt lots

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Found a tattoo on my left butt cheek
Really kinda hurts but it sure looks sweet
Not asking any questions about that night
Cause people there all told me it wasn’t a pretty sight

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party

Must Have Been Some Kind of Party

Must Have Been Some Kind Of Party

I got more problems from my therapist. The psychic: she asks for my name. My family says I'm different but I know we're all the same. 
It's okay .... I'm cured as I can ever be .... I'm cured.

Bills note:
It's kind of autobiographical, I guess. I was doing better but I can't honestly say that today ... but I suppose we're all the same right now, am I right?
Huge thanks to Jeff! He puts up with a lot. I 'm not always the easiest person to work with ... ha,ha. I'm so happy to have my former student, Thomas, bringing the energy with his fine guitar work. When I am writing this stuff he IS the sound that I hear in my head! 
On thing I like about this track is the personality that each musician  brings to it. I really let each of them put their personal spin into the musical arrangement and I'm very happy with the results. I know the sound/style is a bit dated but I love the cathartic energy that the music exudes.
Please consider going to our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/novembersound
We spend more of our time there, we subscribe back, we comment, listen & we're not jerks and stuff.
If you've read this far then God bless you! You are very important to us ... some of the most important people in the world, really. 
A small family in the woods of CT, USA wishing you a blessed new year and we sincerely hope to hear from you soon.

it might be now or never
it might not even start
all the days have sort of merged
passing by in a blur
you can’t tell them apart
tell them apart

everything lies where it fell
here in your own little private hell
where it all comes apart
like a false start

was it mid-december
I can’t really tell
all the months have sort of merged
passing by in a blur
you can’t tell them apart
tell them apart

everything lies where it fell
here in my own little private hell
where it all comes apart

Lyrics:

Come all you young and old gather round me
Ill show you the theater of hypocrisy
They put on a show , put on a play
Deceit on their lips they  lead your  babies astray

There’s nowhere to run nowhere to hide electronic looking glass peering inside
Only four walls a ball and a chain bending the rules for their own selfish gain

Food for the thinking man words for the wise
You ask them no questions they tell you no lies
Don’t try to reason your only a fool
The rules don’t apply to them they’re only for you

Sit back and waste away just do as your told
While others come steal all your silver and gold
Whether you stand or lie down in a ditch
Paupers and peasants lick the boots of the rich

LYRICS:
Eagle flying high 
Into the setting sun
Take my spirit with you on the wing
Let me see the world looking through your eyes 
Help me to see all and everything

I can feel the power in the rhythm of your wings
As we fly into the setting sun
I can see the world now - all and everything
Earth and sea and sky are all as one

Over mountains, through the canyons
In majesty you fly
Your heart beats out its story
Written across the sky

Eagle flying high 
Into the setting sun
Take my spirit with you on the wing
Let me hear the world
Listen as you do
Help me to hear all and everything

I can feel the power in the rhythm of your wings
As we fly into the setting sun
I can hear the world now - all and everything
Earth and sea and sky are all as one

Over mountains, through the canyons
In majesty you fly
Your heart beats out its story
Written across the sky

Eagle Flying High

Crash (25/8)

Just echoes in my mind 
So much is lost in time
Language sold to the dollar
Cause your king needs food and wine

Crash 25/8
We ain't gonna die 
Die that way 

Control is everything 
Then there's nothing left to lose 
Language sold to the pound
Just let me know ill write them fucking down 

Crash 25/8
We ain't gonna die
Die that way

DELUSIONS OF REALITY

Another day another night 
no time to pray, no time to fight.
I lay amidst the pale moonlight 
as a vision comes into my sight.

A figure shining oh so bright 
with luminescent shades of white,
I thought to ask of what I write 
and now I know it wasn't right!

Inner feelings wretched fright 
I wondered if I'd be all right.
As I clenched my soul so tight 
I asked the shadow above
if he just might

spare me of my life tonight.
And so the vision with delight 
took me for an eerie flight 
as we disappeared
into the night.

Oh no, you can't fight it. 
It's plain to see, 
DECEPTION!
It's a delusion of your
reality!

Mentally my life is bound 
for now I can not hear a sound.
My heart hides beneath the ground 
by an evil that which HE has crowned.

Guarded by a demon hound,
thrice a head it's body wound. 
Now my eyes look all around 
for it's my soul I've not yet found.

I start to cry and ask him why 
when I rely on him to try,
He looks at my distressful eye 
with no reply, a solemn sigh.

And soon a high relief as I 
can feel the dry old thinning sky 
quickly pry this evil guy 
from my own lie and
watch him die!
