Lyrics - John Heavern

V1
:16	I never like to quickly decide,
	it leaves behind scary consequences.
	I'm better off when there's plenty of time,
	to let me find where my common sense is.   :40
Ch1
:42	Did the math,
	it is a given.
	Really bad at 
	split decisions.  

	Overcome,
	with division:
	run amuck in
	split... 
	decisions... .   :59
V2	
1:01	It's in my face again and again,
	the dice I'm rolling can make or break me.
	My concentration is put to the test.
	I hope and I pray that it won't forsake me.   1:26
Ch1
1:27	Did the math,
	it is a given.
	Really bad at 
	split decisions.   

	Overcome,
	with division:
	run amuck in
	split... 
	decisions... .   1:43
Refrain: 
1:47	Did the math...
	it is a given.
	Really bad at,
	at split decisions.
	Really bad...
	at split decisions.   2:06
Ch2
2:07	On a path
	made of choices
	I would rather
	have avoided.
	Now I'm stuck
	with this condition:
	just my lucky
	split decisions.   2:20
V3
2:21	I don't posses no magical wand
	that some can find in most situations.
	I try to guess and it's time to move on
	to face the mess of my own creation.   2:46
OUTRO:
2:47	The story changes and pages redone,
	the more I face my split decisions... .   3:03

Split Decisions

Biography

In a world full of lies and deception, it’s important to live within the truth when it comes to what we tell ourselves. That’s what Poet Lies, the debut album by San Diego’s moondaddy, is all about.

Multi-instrumentalist and driving force behind the project Cara Potiker wrote the record as a means of grappling with difficulties she’s lived with for most of her life. An escapist at heart, Potiker’s manner of getting away during the early days of the pandemic, when no one could go anywhere, meant diving deep into songwriting as a coping mechanism. Yet in that process of solitude and introspection, Potiker discovered a few aspects of herself that she no longer wanted to keep buried, and it all unfolds within the notes of the tracks. The eleven songs that make up Poet Lies all comment on establishing a balance between working to resolve that which ails and being proud of the person those ailments helped shape—an interesting dichotomy that manifests itself in many ways.

When it comes to the structure and thematic approach on the new record, Potiker fervidly disperses and weaves different subjects throughout. Titles like “Odd Time,” “Angel,” and “Alone Again” may hint at a certain way they’re leaning, but they each manage to be broad in their personal specificity to instances in Potiker’s life and self. She likens the experience of writing and recording the album to that of an exorcism; it’s a release of the vice grip that love, addiction, obsessive tendencies, and self doubt have had on her which allows her to examine how those things have influenced how she has felt about herself while maneuvering through life.

Poet Lies is a reverb soaked, shimmering fever dream of a record that sonically pulls from influences ranging from 1970’s glam rock to 90’s shoegaze and trip hop. Featuring contributions from talented local musicians from Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas, it was recorded at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas by Manuel Calderon - aka El Cosmophonico - known for his production work on records by Animal Collective and Beach House, as well as his own band, Estereomance.
