lyrics

I don't remember the last time I did something simply for the joy of it. Even the lemonade has something... sickeningly saccharine. I used to think I was just sad, but then I felt this acrid lump- a putrid funk from inside this gut and gutter. And sometimes I still wonder why I stutter. But I can't help it. It's just how I am.
I'm not willing to prioritize a list of dreams. So, meanwhile they quantify my reasoning and reduce a subset of my being into something... that's a number, And sometimes I still wonder why I still stutter.
I'm trying to be less concerned about my naivete. I had to Google what it means to say that I am an enigma. There's a stigma that I work against. So, when they say, "Come back from whence you came!", I say: I am not from here, but maybe I am just the same?
But my friends help me figure it out.
My friends help me figure it out.

If I were to kill a man, would I run? Devote my life to find some s(o/u)n to shed some light on all of these nightmares n lightyears of things that I just don't understand yet. I haven't got a plan yet. I haven't examined the sand yet.

I just let it slip through the sieve.

And you don't know what I would give.

My friends help me figure it out.

China Club created one of the most sonically rich experiances I've had this year. since finding this tape. The tracks keep me guessing. The sporadic samples are placed in the best spots to enrich the collage. Listen to the last track..several times nocluemusic
