clean guitar tone, I like how you kept just enough dry for the crisp picking

I am an exposed wire
When I can't catch my thoughts
So if I say something regrettable
Please just forget about it
And I can hear the synapses
Echo like a ghost
And if I'm haunted that's okay
But I need to know

Because obscurity is offbrand pity
and even I'm forgetting me

Don't get caught
Giving me good luck
I've wasted every ounce of it
I've wasted every rabbit's foot

I know I know
I lost my self-respect a long time ago
But if it was something worth holding onto
I'd know
And if it seemed more innocent
To say something self-deprecating
It was a lie and
I thought you'd be smarter than that

If it beats me in my skull
If it's something I wanna know
What's so bad about that?
(Born and bred 
For pointless self-defence
When no one's pushing me)

Don't get caught
Giving me good luck
I've wasted every ounce of it
I've wasted every rabbit's foot

Rabbit's Foot

As close as you’ve come to “call it off”
A cloth away from Molotov
Throwing arm’s no great shakes
And the fates of the fish monger emigres
Apparating in front of the froyo place
Are admittedly killing your buzz 
But who are they to judge?

And I’m back, I’ve been practicing caterwauls
Got my staff smashing baggies of Adderall 
Begging off a big mistake
Set my sights, with a smile and a stomachache
To create, not to cramp or concatenate 
All pacifiers and party drugs
Enough of not enough

It was only ever effect, got wrecked on cause
At the crumbling crest, adopt a dog
You’re giving everything away 
Soaked to the bone in a serenade
To the car kinda claiming the single lane
The busses always call your bluff
The soap stings, I’m sorry bud

And I’m out with a bow and a powerwalk
Sippin’ slow at a tonic and Tylenol
Patenting an aftertaste
And I’m cracked, I am clear, and it’s coming straight
In the endless amount to accommodate 
If someone else’s shoulders sunk
It’s not on you to lift ‘em up

Sunk

Holding my own hangman’s rope
Nope, just holding my own

Sweating at the foot of the skyline
Squinting my eyes into the bright night
Staging a show for the satellites
In an implied assembly
So it’s a song for the unseen
And I’m projecting it proudly
The strength in my voice from the get-go
Diminished returns with each echo
Life as a slow decrescendo 
Hit the high note and then coast

Better off in a pine wood box
No I’m not, I’m just better off

And attempting to get my point across by
Expending the strength that I saved up
From a decade and change as a lame duck
Euphoric then drained in the ensuing rush
Not that I want to gloss over
The arc for the eventual smolder
But it’s not easy to stave off the closer
It’ll argue the law to the letter
But the goal was never “forever”
Life as the rests in the measures
Sometimes the less, the better 

But what if it’s not a mistake
To engage in the debate?
Then again, what if it is?
If it’s a monolith and everything’s determinist 
Then that’s a weight off of my ribs
And I might even actually live
Comfortable and prosperous
In the warm hug of indifference 

I see the scythe as it’s coming for me
No, actually, I finally just see

Ducktales (Album Demo)

Wrote this about two years ago. Finally got around to recording it.

Putting Off Sleep

TY (Be Mine)

Unknown when this was recorded. Unknown who wrote the lyrics to this too. Seems anti-Iraq War, so was recorded around 2005 probably. Felt it was kinda relevant to today too lyrically.

Lacking A Soul (home demo)

Chinatown by Destroyer, covered in a Post Punk style for Sound Design Class over three weeks. Made in Garageband. Never done Garageband before.
