mathcoreman This release is truly unique- tons of intricacy in the instrumentation, but hooks for days. These songs get stuck in your head very easily. It's an addictive listen! Favorite track: Little Loafboy.

Stamp it out Move your feet around Make it seem like it never was. Reach back down Wear it like a crown Make a trophy from a part of me, With your family. You've got the keys to the deadbolt You turn the knife that's in my chest Regardless I hold you like a regret. Take my eyes as vacant holes for wine Veil them with your love Take my eyes as vacant holes for wine Take me home. Are you not aware? Self unraveling Not prepared enough chemically Veil of wine Aggressive smiling Pull it down. Pull it off and down. Make it seem like there's anything You've got the keys to the deadbolt You turn the knife that's in my chest Regardless I hold you like a regret. Pull it down. Pull it off and down. Make me feel like I'm anything.

Miss Out 04:38
If I choke, well, I'm breathing embers If I don't, well, its just another night. This clock reads half-past time to settle down To close the box, to lock the door, to leave the town I'm not the first to read it Can't clocks read wrong? Move out, move on, miss out It's just not my time. On the clock at the whim of the fingers In the palm where its just another life Put it down, silence mode, your hearts not a phone You're not some device Sometimes I don't wanna hang out Sometimes I don't wanna be seen Sometimes I don't wanna hang out--miss out Sometimes I don't wanna be seen--move on Sometimes I don't wanna hang out--miss out Sometimes I don't wanna be seen--move on Sometimes I don't wanna grow up This clock reads, it has a mind. Fingernails scratch in the wood; 'It's just not my time' This clock reads half-past time to settle down To close the box, to lock the door, to leave the town This clock reads half-past time to move out, move on, miss out If I choke, well, I'm breathing embers If I don't, well, its just another night If I choke, well, I'm breathing embers If I don't, well, its just another night Move out, move on, miss out It's just not my time. Sometimes I don't wanna hang out Sometimes I don't wanna be seen Sometimes I don't wanna hang out--miss out Sometimes I don't wanna be seen--move on Sometimes I don't wanna hang out--miss out Sometimes I don't wanna be seen--move on

Don't hold back. Push away your jitters A lit match touched to gun powder There's a violent thought Reaching out of your grip tonight Whoever knows what the midnight shows Dancing for your delight The blow-back! Don't touch the spiders! A new gap, a new gutter These hands Only sentence I wanna hear Catch these hands Only sentence I wanna hear The weekend, next Friday, a long way to wait How will we ever make do? How will we ever make do?? How did we ever make do? Put my sanity on the line. Someone to hold when your time's not sold She's pulling me down and that's perfectly fine. All signs point north when you're headed south All signs point north when you're headed south There's still so much to figure out You're the only one.

That's the moment I've been waiting for Past this second you will see Curtain call, ten feet tall I'm up to the sky Thanks so much for being here The pleasure was all mine I'm waking up Another day to waste away Forget the badness you can't fight I'll see you tonight And that's the moment I've been waiting for Past this second you will see Curtain call, ten feet tall I'm up to the sky Thanks so much for being here The pleasure was all mine I'm waking up

You never keep in touch No calls, no catching up You plant the seeds of love The flower never opened, the farmer couldn't sell the crop Hide yourself from them The friends you want to love Only given one How many do you give up, how many days are getting lost? And they're fine without you They're worlds away Everything you couldn't be is always on your mind People passing pamphlets preach intelligent design And if I had a hand in it I'd hold it with desire You're not around, domain is not found A different underground A recipe for regret. Living in a house that's haunted by a stranger Where's the nearest exit ask yourself Laying in the soil, spoils of our failure A kindling of trust now smolders like an ember Never gonna regret Live to tell. Come home Keys hung up by the door Half expect a ghost of love, once cherished most Only given one How long until you give up, how long until you lose them both? We should have known this garden wouldn't grow We should have known this garden wouldn't grow Salt, shallow holes we fill with wine, fragments of my skull Peace of mind Salt, shallow holes we fill with wine, fragments of my skull Peace of mind Everything's on someone else, you won't apologize A narcissistic double think to blur and skew the lines The ones who feel superior can't love another mind When we're not around to blame and to doubt you'll make up other lies A recipe for regret Living in a house that's haunted by a stranger Where's the nearest exit ask yourself Laying in the soil, spoils of our failure A kindling of trust now smolders like an ember Never gonna regret Live to tell.

about

I started writing all these songs around March of 2018 and finished them by around August of the same year, with the exception of "Waking Up (Good Morning)" which I wrote in basically twenty minutes one night in June of 2020. It's nice when that happens.
I originally wrote the song "Recipe for Regret" for another band I was in at the time on bass, which is why the bass is arguably the lead instrument on that one. The guitar part was originally conceptualized by the guitarist in that band, Anthony Vargas. I used his written part and adapted it to a new tuning, changed chords, and added a little flair here and there for funsies. Regardless, his influence on that song should not be understated. Brian Sumner played drums with us at the time when we wrote it, and he very kindly agreed to play drums on that track as well. Thanks Brian. Love ya pal. At the time there were no vocals, which I always felt it needed, and I'm glad I got to sing on it and record this song to share with you all.
Recorded in my basement between May 2019 and October 2020. I know, woof. Took a while.
