cadaver dogs 03:14
come and take a walk with me we can hunt for bodies be careful not to step into the fairy rings when the ground is soft enough we can dig our findings up skin and bone, no meat too tough bring me to the edge of the forest let me run free to my horror sniff it out to be the best i can't feel anything for her and so you tell me i did a great job but i know it's all wrong, wrong, wrong i'm desensitized and i'm drifting along bring me to the edge of the forest let me run free to my horror sniff it out to be the best i can't feel anything for her

bored 04:48
i don't want to be somebody's but i want someone to be mine i'm bored with all the same old songs bored with this life feel like everything's been changing for fifteen straight years i hope that when it slows down it's not where i feared how could you possibly know? i'm just a kid and i can't stand to hear you cry not because i care about you, i don't have room in my life i'm living on autopilot, my heart is empty at least i know my emotions won't get the best of me i don't want to make you sorry i feel weak when i am pitied i just want to tell my truth i don't need you to understand me how could you possibly know? i'm just a kid and i can't stand to hear you cry not because i care about you, i don't have room in my life i'm living on autopilot, my heart is empty at least i know my emotions won't get the best of me how could you possibly know? how could you possibly know? how could you possibly know? how could you possibly know? i'm just a kid and i can't stand to hear you cry not because i care about you, i don't have room in my life i'm living on autopilot, my heart is empty at least i know my emotions won't get the best of me

you’ve got a lot of explaining to do in my dream you told me “i love you” but then i woke up and you treated me the same stop trying to manipulate my brain you can’t gaslight a broken lamp so shut up, cause i know life’s got me in a clamp you told me that my eyes were blue but i know they’re grey and now i don’t trust you i can’t believe i thought you’d ever love me you barely want to be my friend, it seems well that’s okay cause i can’t feel anything tell me you don’t love me so i stop wishing i used to think about you when i sang about love now there’s a black hole and it’s not your fault this one was about wanting more but this song is not about you anymore

sometimes it’s hard for me to follow but that doesn’t mean i don’t know what it means when you look at me i know you wish we never met you’re probably with your girlfriend which is why you’re not talking to me and i can’t even be angry because you never said you cared about me no, you never said you cared about me now i’m between my heart and a hard place i could leave and stop falling into disgrace but i really don’t wanna be without you i know it’s cliche, but i swear that it’s true you’re probably with your girlfriend which is why you’re not talking to me (talk to me) and i can’t even be angry because you never said you cared about me i know that look on your face when you stare right through my soul (through my soul) i know you can tell i’m faking it i know that you can tell that i am numb i miss being able to let it go but i’m past the point where that’s the goal i miss having all my friends with me but i’m past the point where people like my company i miss not thinking so much but i’m past the point where i can choose to hush but i don't miss you i miss being able to let it go but i’m past the point where that’s the goal i miss having all my friends with me but i’m past the point where people like my company i miss not thinking so much but i’m past the point where i can choose to hush but i don't miss you you’re probably with your girlfriend which is why you’re not talking to me (talk to me) and i can’t even be angry because you never said you cared about me i know that look on your face when you stare right through my soul (through my soul) i know you can tell i’m faking it i know that you can tell that i am numb you’re probably with your girlfriend which is why you’re not talking to me (talk to me) and i can’t even be angry because you never said you cared about me i know that look on your face when you stare right through my soul (through my soul) i know you can tell i’m faking it i know that you can tell that i am numb

about

this album is the product of my participation in the RPM Challenge, an event that challenges musicians to write and record an entire album (10 songs or 30 minutes of material) in the month of February.
there were lots of times during the writing and recording process when i felt like giving up. but i didn't. i know this might not be the best i can do given 15 years, but given one month, i think it's adequate.
