about

A 13-EDO experiment (no fifths, no triads!) which is simultaneously an homage to Stunt Rock and a far more oblique one to Radiohead's "Planet Telex". More intensely deranged lyrics, here attempting to describe true manic fury and the perverse numbing pleasure of it.

Most of these songs are, in sick ways, love songs. They're fun to write. I'm not sure why.

lyrics

If I knew how to turn this all around
I wouldn't try so hard it feels too good to be angry
all burning like ice blackening skin
all cold like acid eating my nerves

So don't do it again
I won't do it again
but you won't try to fix this
I wouldn't do it again
if I were in your place
but dear god would I ever want to

If I felt even the least bit human right now
I would rip my own heart out
if only I could feel this lightness all the time
if only I could feel this brightness all the time
