Why do I whine Beg, bitch, and cry For those with no concern for me In your desert Crawls a pervert You know how I thirst but You’re the gatekeeper I’m the key masturbator Getting in when I can But despite our equality I don’t deserve to touch you So, let’s get married Entitlement Got all the things Can’t get enough Entitlement Found my loophole To get my medicine You won’t love me ‘til Monday We'll sit apart Expiration any day Check the date for me now Same old speeches and you’ll say Let me be Starving for intimacy Check my weight going down Will you miss me after You look down and see The sand in my sockets And my bones at your feet You don’t get off easy You don’t get off at all Cause the climate’s changing Even if it rains hard Entitlement You plot and scheme Just to get fucked Entitlement Found my loophole To get my medicine New Or used Will you miss me after You look down and see The sand in my sockets And my bones at your feet You don’t get off easy You don’t get off at all Cause you can’t squeeze water From a stone that’s been broken down Into pieces Pieces You won’t love me ‘til Monday We'll sit apart Expiration any day Check the date for me now Same old speeches and you’ll say Let me be Starving for intimacy But you can't fuck me now

Why do you get to be happy Why does it get to me Why do you get to be happy When you make me so sad Why do I get to be happy Why does it bother me Why do I get to be happy When I I'm not the smartest cat I get bored I chew on exotic plants Then throw up They say that you're poison I just want a little nip Can't feel emotions now But damn, I'm buzzed You'll say I'm stalking you But I like when you leave me, too Why do you get to be happy Why does it get to me Why do you get to be happy When you make me so sad Why do I get to be happy Why does it bother me Why do I get to be happy When I treat you so bad You're making it hard to stay a feminist Sure, you don't represent all women But in your work you did And now you sell insurance You use me for assurance Why do you pretend to be happy Why do you fake it for everyone but me Why are you so toxic When I just want you to show me some love and validation I don't know why I talk so much shit about someone I supposedly love You like to say I'm privileged But your dad paid for your phone, and your car, and your home You grew up in Aero Club I don't think there's any cure for what you gave to me It might have been there all along There's something inside me that doesn't let me, or anyone else Be happy Give me an antidote Made from your tears Or shove your finger down my throat Or give me a nip of the plant which keeps you so undaunted Burning all the way down It's burning all the way down I binge, I purge It's burning all the way down Still burning all the way down Burning all the way down It's burning all the way down I binge, I purge It's burning all the way down Still burning all the way down Burning all the way down It's burning all the way down I binge, I purge It's burning all the way down Still burning all the way down Burning all the way down It's burning all the way down I binge, I purge It's burning all the way down Still burning all the way down

You left me here alone You left me here with nothing but my clothes It hurts to see you Moving on in life To hear that you're not suffering I'll never forget I'll never forget I'll never forget your laughter On the phone with your friend Should have killed me instead That would have sounded better So, what do you want me to do (What a bittermouth, bitter baby) The words that devour you (With a bittermouth, bitter baby) As toxic as they are true I want to confuse you Consume you (Your thoughts and fears and dreams) Lose you (The guilt will make you scream) Fool you And I want to come home But you left me here alone On my knees To scrounge for meaning To crawl right back To feel the bite To be destroyed inside I hope it hurts you When you see me live Long enough to prosecute revenge I'll never forget I'll never forget I'll never forget your monster Eyes blacker than sin From your core of hatred You knew I wore it better Anger was your one expression I appreciate the effort, but You left me here alone You left me here with nothing but my clothes You left me here alone You left me here with nothing but my prose You left me here alone You left me here with nothing but my clothes You left me here alone To feel the bite To be destroyed inside To feel the bite To be destroyed inside To feel the bite To be destroyed inside To feel the bite To be destroyed inside To feel the bite

It's the baby she never swaddled So I strangled it Just to feel how soft He now no longer cries To "The First Days of Spring" It's the Lladros she inherited When I get angry I smash her porcelain See what happens when I run out of porcelain No It's still love As intended to manipulate women She's not even the one I want No Yeah No Yeah It's the final crack in the male ego Made of eggshells That she won't stop stepping on Read a book to learn "Why I Do That" Sometimes she comes back With gas and lights me Gives her power Not enough to kill me That's the spirit of the hunt I don't even shoot I'm just stocking up It's still love As intended to manipulate women She's not even the one I want No Yeah No Yeah Yeah It's still love It's still love As intended to Manipulate As intended to Manipulate It's still love It's still love As intended to Manipulate As intended to Manipulate Manipulate love Manipulate women She's not even the one I want

I just saw the news We could be a team You’re used to wearing masks And my protests I feel so petty now Causing such a scene I’m scared Because this cause is greater than me What we have is sick And there’s no vaccine I’m never gonna leave Quarantine It’s nice to not have me All tangled in your hair Pretend that I don’t care Prevention is the key One day we will tie All of our loose ends I’m good at making knots But not amends What we have is sick And there’s no vaccine I’m never gonna leave Quarantine Quarantine Quarantine Freed from all the stress Boredom is the goal But can we shed the past Like your ringlets on the floor I’ll return as orbs In old, yellowed Polaroids You can be the knife Carve the tumors from my soul Yeah People like you and I cause cancer People like you and I cause cancer People like you and I cause cancer People like you and I cause cancer Cancer Cancer Cancer Cancer Cancer Cancer Cancer Cancer Cancer

about

On July 31, 2016, I began my quest to record the "last great rock album." There was no real theme, other than to rock, and rock hard. Put simply, I wanted to combine 90's alternative with late 70's/early 80's synth-pop. Then, a bunch of shit happened, and I realized I needed to change a lot of things about myself that weren't great (like being pretentious, for one).

OK, fine, I'm still pretentious, but almost six years later, this project has transformed into something with a little more substance:

A cishet man calling out other cishet men for the bullshit they do to women. And if anyone knows about problematic cishet male behavior, it is I.

Consequently, on July 7, 2022, I have not released the "last great rock album," but what I believe is the "first HONEST rock album." I took a long hard look at myself, and why I ended up where I did in late 2016, and this is what came out.

It's not perfect, it's not commercial, and sometimes it's fucked up; but it's the truth, and it's the best I could do.

Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this abomination.
