Defacing the place where we sleep don’t mean shit now The scabs have scared and been torn again in construction of an endless tear down Everyday wake up and sleep for this machine This is all we have and it’s drinking bottles to drown the problems or to face the faces that are so defeated that we see ourselves in let’s not give in cause it still means something to find true freedom its not about winning its about living

Streetlights shiver light pours over me I’m distracted by bad scenery Work all day just barley get by I want to live not just survive Try Try Try Try This lifeless life’s just dying Scripted political sitcoms become more obvious and dumb Wars not fighting for democracy just sick business opportunity Lie Lie Lie Lie Most people don’t seem to mind Hope the sun goes down alone Hope the sun goes down alone

about

This Album is a mix of songs recorded from 2002-2009. The songs were taken from the albums Our New Happy Life, All bombs are time Bombs, or were unreleased.
Our New Happy Life was recorded in a Studio but mixing and mastering was not in the budget. The tracks from that session ended up buried in a backyard.
All bombs are time Bombs were recorded at my house at the time in Banning California. We captured magic with
crappy microphones and a simple 8 track recorder. Most of the tracks were recorded over to make room for the next song. A regret I still feel.
Recess at the slaughterhouse was unreleased recorded in 2009 at Debbie’s house in Upland California. The recording of something new and day of the dying alive are unaccounted for.
A special thanks to Johnny Spasm for remastering the recordings and bringing these songs back to life.
Cheers to long nights working and building friendships that withstood time.
