Bone Dry

I got nothing
My whole life is like a hole
I got nothing
My whole mind is like a soul
I got nothing
All my money's in the bank
I got nothing
My whole culture is a prank
It's bone dry
Where's that marrow
Where's that marrow inside
Like squeezing water from a stone
It's bone dry

Little Pieces
03:24

You're living in a borrowed space
You're betting on a losing race
You cannot feel or touch the great big human waste
They'll only get harder now
You'll try a little less right now
You cannot even speak or think the same
No one ever asked if this made sense or not
We'll never get a chance to try it different now
We're cut into a million little pieces
Even if it gets okay
It never really stays that way
Because the way you feel comes from another place
We're dying of middle-brow
Your money buys less right now
The future feels like a big risk you cannot take
No one ever asked if this made sense or not (And if it does)
We'll never get a chance to try it different now (What will that mean)
We're cut into a million little pieces I'm afraid

Only Exception

I know myself
Control my health
Ads on TV
Don't work on me
I know my life could change
The more things stay the same
I know I can't complain
'cause things are looking up any moment
I feel alright
(not bad at all)
Sleep well at night
(not tired at all)
I know what's true
(no doubt at all)
But I don't know why I do what I do

Dogface

|

You are molded and afraid
And you can't make out the shapes
Of the people in your place
Who've been living there for days
But the noise in your home doesn't cease
And you feel it measure your face
When you're going out to eat
You take pennies from their tray
And you can't afford to pay
And you can't make out her face
But the noise in your home doesn't cease
And you feel it measure your face
The places that you visit all get carved into a maze of faces
And the things you thought were yours are never really things that were at all
But you know what it is, and how it ends
And you see the basilisk in your bed

Black Jello
04:21
|

|
I forget the words that make this work
Everyday
In the end, it did even matter just enough
to be a drag
Trapped inside a pitch black jello maze
Swimming in slow motion
Feel along the walls for better days
Trapped inside a pitch black jello maze
Every movement takes forever
And we’re finding new dead ends down every way
Ignorance is not a blissful state
But here we are
In this cold and sticky world
We built our home
Took out a loan
Every time we pry a window up
A door slams shut
Putting down a glue board trap for the rats
Like a baby’s crib

Flower
03:40
|

|
The forest of
the hidden way
has many flowers
to which we pray
their scent will bring us closer
to the sacred druid's glade
we're pawns of pollen climbing back
into our mother's grave
The offices
of electric day
are dreaming of
new ways to pray
The circuits in our lower brains
are begging us to play
Our mother's lovely legacy is
teaching us to pay
When she left us crying here
We yearned for a new home
Thoughts of mud and flowers
and an end to what has come

"Glacial Lake" (NRR87)
by Kjostad
supported by 13 fans who also own “Be Well”
A combination of field recordings and harsh noise that focuses our attention on nature's absolute power and indifference to the individual, making what we'd ordinarily see as serene seem more like a monumental death machine. Which, in fact, it more or less is.

"The Church of Plenty, Empty" (NRR89)
by Brandon Lopez
supported by 13 fans who also own “Be Well”
The title of this cassette is great, thought provoking and blackly comic bit of alliteration right there. The tracks themselves are no less intriguing either. My personal impression of these four string based improvised (I'm assuming) pieces is that of living sound that somehow escaped the confines of their respective instruments, instinctively and warily calling to someone recording their own noisy and fully independent emanations. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.
