about

It's a song about how

lyrics

you can't spell 'fun' without 'dug'
alright
yes you can
forget about the skeptics, man
they must have missed the lesson plan

prog rock the party in a drop C tuning
drop the knowledge, lose it
now I don't know what I'm doing

the theory isn't practice
Hell, it's hardly even theory
but it's opened up the path into a clearing

what you're hearing
is exactly where I'm at now
but by now that's not true
as it happens that is how how it happens happened to

you don't have to imagine how much fun I'm having
it's several
but if you can't stand the heat
who's gonna help me bake these pretzels?

my schedule is eventful more than gentle
End's eventual
soon(?)
the caught between the coming from and going to
that slowly moves

every day who he is
gets looser and more dubious
Music for the Mutiny
or Grooves for Your Commute and shit

Letter to the Editor
wait
Letters From the Creditors
low-key I'm the Loki of the disconnected metaphor

you can't spell 'fun' without 'dug'
I mean I guess you could
Question Everything
but make sure you make the questions good

it's arguably not a thing
pardon me for bothering
if where it's at is where it's at
it's hard to see it, honestly

the future is a month ago
telling you that seems redundant
it seems redundant to tel you that
which makes it no less hard to stomach
yo
what kind of world should I be leaving for the Cat to govern
were I only half as stubborn
still, you'd really have to wonder

How Many Licks It Takes
for you to realize you've been suckered
that you do count for something
more than just another number

it's not you wake up one time
and then never again slumber
conflating waking up with death's a bummer
makes you wonder
less

me I like to make a bunch of guesses for a couple guests
it's the better way to demonstrate I feel blessed by your presence
and try to recognize that time's not endless it is precious
and maybe spread the Message I'll be sure and let you know
the second I decipher what it says, I'll be like "Woah"

you can't spell fun without
you get it that's the chorus
I would have gone for Ouroboros turns out it's Ouroboros
the most important thing is knowing you don't really know, y'know?

nope
What is Life but speculating in real-time
devastating
or just fine
also often great, try telling me that

I'll turn on a dime
get ready
cup the mic if you want feedback
sweaty
like you're throwing up spaghetti
when you haven't eaten any
yikes

peak experience
between weeks of weariness
and yes, extremely serious
Achieve Your Bliss
I Plead The Fifth
& so on

spending most the time fixated on exactly how long it can go on
go on

I tried to tell myself off and it didn't work
I'm back, still mostly disconnected
but I've learned some bigger words
Landlord is a sinecure
wow, somehow I'm still insecure. how?

social programming vs jamming
...I don't like the odds.
which is the perfect sign it's time to double down
don't fuck around
or whatever

you can't spell DUG without placing on the leaderboard
immortalized for more than time down @ the local pizza store
blowing out the speakers, talk is cheaper if you're speaking more
but I just figure what is it I gotta keep a secret for

you miss a lot of options when you see it all in either/or
Write That Down
I dunno
how am I sure that I should even be so sure?
owwwwwwwww
give myself a headache
share it with my friends and on my webpage
that sounds like the best day

I don't dread Fate I just watch it happen
maybe I should, uh, take up napping
watch me wrestle with existence
like I just can't believe that it's even happening

I mean, I can't prove it
can you
?
