you've been watching my dog in the park try to see how he looks in your arms living life like i'm finally found but every time I get home, I feel drowned i've been wishing and praying no sense to be shaming your arms wrapped around me so i've been wishing and praying a life is worth saving and still feeling called to go home i've been watching my dog in the park I try to stay out of sight but I can't go far i've been watching my dog in the park like i've been living this life just for the spark

beckoning 01:56
I don't wanna be left with all my clothes on in the sauna I don't wanna be bothered while i'm chillin with the flora and the fauna I don't wanna get bent outta shape like i'm breaking down I grew up on both sides of a small town lookin' at my feet, and my vans, they are breaking down I don't wanna have to feel like I have to understand everything looking at my life like it's a web or a wedding ring losing my composure while i'm picturing the reckoning and I hear the music beckoning and I hear the music beckoning beckoning, beckoning, beckoning

why are you wasting your time on me? am I? wasting my time? got a lot of places I can go to like the storm clouds walking where the wind blew got a nice new jacket and the cuffs are blue I remember walking through the yard of the school I know all the places I can go, I can hide when I wanna get away, when I feel like I might die I can walk to all the places that you'll never know bare feet, with no boots on in the frigid snow I know all the places I can go, I can hide when I wanna get away, when I feel like I might die I know all the places I can go, I can hide when I wanna get away, when I feel like I might die ice too cold, dice always rolled i've got paper thin eyes, i'm told walking to the market I might see if all my I's unfold

basking in ash caskets tacking bags of lashes ice streamed straight to the back of a lactic acid lacking ass for finer fashions designer tags best left alaskan it's raining gas for three crumbs of cash protected by a divine case of baskets i'm asking please, stomped on my knees a blue holster filled with patches to patch my mended heart already bagged with sickle sadness looming burrs stuck to my own toes only place the lonely drone never goes held hostage by the waves of bondage not woe-begotten you're not forgotten every map i've ever read says it's ashkenaten toothless boomerang fits when i'm met like this only lived so I could plead the fifth we're still sick, playing bocce ball with a lisp lips kissed, twice for molten fists to fly and fib these ghosts walking, only where he goes when he's lonely stoned wholly for the thrill of it elements of illmatic nasruddin speaking brilliance the carnival only stops when we cease to know what drilling is the gradients and hues of a trillion bright stars sinking ships for the thrill of it if only we could they might kill again a chance to stop the bleeding and be still with it if only for the thrill of it does it take a million to die so we can feel again redirect our brilliance from the graves of missing children empty cabinets we've filled in packed in bundles of grace and filament to wish us all well, please for the thrill of it but if it's only for the thrill of it well then guess we gotta have some fun 2021 if only for the thrill of it

the way I wander back wonder what it takes what it takes to go home like someone really cared someone really dared dared to sit on the throne the way I wander back wonder how it tastes tastes to be alone you singing sweet to me sweetly till I see the wanderlust when i'm low candles in my head light the weaving thread connecting me to the bone living like a prayer never unaware of what it takes to be known living like a prayer never unaware of what it takes to be known

heaven sent 02:36

art 02:44
if only the dreams we witnessed years before could guide us now clusters, wings, and the sound of the crisping wind that echoes through the traces of structure i'm starting to paint a picture of what I remember empty streets, alone, I was wandering amongst crumbled buildings if only I knew labytrinthine complexes fortified only in dust and memory whether the planted seed was wished or omen is undefined and rather liminal so much for the poppies and rosegrass fallen into baskets we only store in bedrooms if only the noise of life and business could drift away like clouds do to uncover the syzygy between past and present I suppose that's what art is all about

about

Most of these tracks were recorded in October/November 2020 in Sebastopol, CA.

glass on, frownsicle, poison idiot, and don't lie to me recorded 2019-2020 in Berkeley, CA.

While the original intention for all of these tracks was to be further refined and divided into various projects, a computer hard drive crash resulted in lost projects, with only these mp3's surviving. They were called to be released, raw and often disparate in sound, ranging from oddball indie hip-hop, to jazzy beats, to noisy soundscapes.

credits

released May 28, 2021

All tracks written and recorded by Gregory Tilden. All vocals, trumpet, and instrumentation by Gregory Tilden, except when noted (Kyle Walsh on the guitar).

Mastered in 2021 using LANDR.
