I know I said that it ain't easy
I know I said I won't get wheezy
But I tried and I gave up on you
I know I said that I'll grow older
I know I said that I'm your shoulder
But I tried and I couldn't do
I know I said that it ain't easy
I know I said that it'll be alright
I know I said that it ain't easy
I know I said that it'll be alright
I know I said that it ain't easy
I know I said I won't get queasy
But I tried and I gave up on you
I know I said that I'll grow older
I know I said that I'm your boulder
But I tried and I couldn't do
I know I said that it ain't easy
I know I said that it'll be alright
I know I said that it ain't easy
I know I said that it'll be alright

It's All Shit
01:40
|

beginning washing dishes it emblazoned a fire
existing and insisting need to work at a fryer
it’s all shit
quitting I’m predicting I’ll be starting a riot
sitting there’s no friction I’ll be dead like my diet
it’s all shit
existing I’m resisting thoughts of being a bum
insisting that I’m twisting broad ideas of a slum
it’s all shit
equipping I’m not skipping out on being a youth
tilting I’m not wilting on what is my route
it’s all shit

Queen Of The Bushes
01:45
|
|||

so what do you say
when there’s nothing to say
and then the queen of the bushes comes around
and you’ve loaded not a sound
that makes me calm down
and then the queen of the bushes runs around
oh what can you say
I’ll move out ya way
when the queen of the bushes comes to town
oh what a nice day
to stop all the games
when the queen of the bushes comes around
when the queen of the bushes comes to town
don’t let it get you down
don’t let it get you down

I wonder what she’s thinking
Is it bad or is it true?
I’ve been sitting here drinking
and thinking things through
there’s an aura when she’s near
I feel it in my skull
hoping maybe in a year
that we’ll remove the hull (hu hu hu)
time begins to quicken
when she is inside the room
something here is hidden
Is it love or is it doom?
talk we never do it
those questions are too faux pas
wishing that I’d quit it
but I am in it too far (ha ha ha)
I take notice of her warmth
to my radical views
I’m afraid I’m misinformed
or am I missing cues?
I feel it in my brain
I felt it in my gut
Have I gone insane?
or now have I seen enough?

Clear Ink
02:13
|
|||
|
I should be lying down
40 hours with no rest
I’ve got tacks in my eyes
to repel the boring quests (ha ha ha)
test a new lie out on me
and I will go and shut the door
your ink is clear and mine is red
all the mix-ups fill my head (like a bomb)

I know it’s complicated and
I know you’re concentrated but
I know how I feel and
I yearn for you
I know we’ll never make it
no we’ll never make it
I know we’ll never make it
no we cannot fake it
I know we’ll never make it
no we’ll never make it
I know we’ll never make it
no we cannot fake it
I know it’s complicated and
I know you’re frustrated but
I know how I feel and
I yearn for you
I know we’ll never make it
no we’ll never fake it
I know we’ll never make it
no we cannot fake it
I know we’ll never make it
no we’ll never fake it
I know we’ll never make it
no we cannot fake it

there’s nothing to do around me
I wish I had time to come back to see
what I could be, or what I could do
if only a fee, I would pay it times two
there’s nothing at sea, there’s nothing to do
it’s eating at me, it’s scoffing at you
I made up my bed, now I’m laying in it
I’m feeling brain dead, I’m hemorrhaging it
bleeding out red, but I cannot quit
it’s all in my head, the games of what if, what if, what if
there’s nothing at sea, there’s nothing to do
it’s eating at me, it’s scoffing at you
there’s nothing to see, it’s covered in blue (blue)
I planted a tree, it’s why I can’t move (ha ha ha ha ha)

Second Thought
02:58
|
|||
|
I gotta stop with the words that I say
cause they all cause trouble for me
I’ll get around for my apology
when the time comes for you to leave
I got to stop with the words that I say
cause they’ll come back to kill me eventually
there’s no chance of apology
second thought says no from me

Crossbow
01:27
|
|||
|
I don’t know how I will fare tomorrow
need to take aim with a scoped in crossbow
I don’t know them like how I’d like to know them
but some things are destiny it seems
keep the bad thoughts out my mind
I wish I had a little more time
keep the bad thoughts out my mind
I wish I had a little more time

Untitled Digital
04:55

Screens surround you
As you open your eyes
Like a new wave cue
For a short term prize
Obsessions run mad
New styles and fads
Leading a new team
Of hopeful dreams
To an unfortunate end
Overdriving hums
And intermittent buzzes
With selective thumbs
Which cause irrational impulses
Filed under false pretenses
Pictures of a familiar twin
Hoping it would be the one to win
A contest of inflated egos
Posted on a feed
For some so called heroes

Radar & Satellite Totowa, New Jersey
surveillance music.
Radar & Satellite recommends:
Mike's solo work; similar to R&S but a little more eclectic.

Another Mike record, instead this time a collection of late night jams. Get some tea for this one.

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.
