Soundgardenz 02:52
Pour one on the ground for all your counselors There's no fortune in the way that it's counted Far-fetched and decent-minded A routine of shivering, sniveling harpies Seethe like a name by the side of the road And write a check for your implication We stick words in the simple equation We get lost I will put my coat down on this puddle I will escort you to the edge of town Seethe like a name by the side of the road And write a check for your implication We stick words in the simple equation We get lost

Santos 03:55
I am king of all I see All the animals know my name My bed is made of backs And old currency I stood in the bread lines And made the dark things shine On the wrists of my countrymen I was wrong You were faster than I counted on And when I return I will buy all the cities I burned What happened here yesterday? I wake up in a different land With new currency And New Amsterdam Now I'm in their bread lines Talking like a swine And their animals Run from me I was wrong You were faster than I counted on And when I return I will buy all the cities I burned

All in with an airport flavor There's a symbol of your comfort zone Dense air makes you glance at your neighbors And your body still smells like home And all the evidence around you Creeps along like a reverent dog Age gaps make you yell at your neighbors And you wonder why it is that you're wrong You breathe in sentiment So lock up your daughters They've got thoughts about slaughter And I hurt myself like a good citizen So I'll participate The landscape of your face is expanding And the cynic that you love is a whore And small talk makes you dream of the surface And beyond that you can just see the shore You breathe in sentiment So lock up your daughters They've got thoughts about slaughter And I hurt myself like a reverent dog So I'll participate

Liza Minelli 03:36
Chains of intellect fix you to the screen You can't do nothing but stare into the void I so look forward to you reigning in your wants They're all rusted and frayed around the seams Now we all live up to it There were a lot of pedestrians Who knew your name Could place your birthmarks I spent my nights outside your window In a dumpster full of nails And just like you I hate musicals So why is it that you remind me Of a young Liza Minelli In her prime And all of the references that I don't get Are etched upon me It's just like an adult to forget And now we all live up to it

In the Black 04:41
Pickpockets give the best damn talkings to But you would never follow the herd Girls lockets strike fear in the markets Plotting like revenge of the nerd I heard you call my name but I was not in your network I heard you took the blame and I'm no longer your hero It's just your wisdom teeth They grow right back And I'm in industry Stay in the black Close talkers in your face with offers Now pick yourself up off of my floor Short stalkers send you back to the doctor And the cynic that you love is a whore I heard you call my name but I was sleeping it off And when I finally woke up you were no longer around You had left me to drown myself It's just your wisdom teeth They grow right back And I'm in industry Stay in the black

about

we recorded these songs in 2007 and 2008, after realizing that touring was turning the process of making the (arguably overly complicated) music we were making into a drag. without any sort of goal in mind, we just wrote some songs that the three of us could play together easily.

after the studio excess of "Luxury" and "Wrath of Circuits," we took a new approach. we recorded in our homes, our parents' homes, and our friends' homes, sometimes whispering the vocals so our roommates would not hear, sometimes doing everything live, sometimes finishing an overdub while our bandmates were eating cookies in another room.

this is not an album. it is not an EP. it is just a document of a period of time in our lives.
