    In this 90 min cassette, you get; The Importance of Daydreaming (with Moonwalking part I and II, and other bonus tracks excluded from the album origionally), Le Conte D'ovni, and other unreleased bonus tracks that I have finished and am never releasing, or are not and never will be finished!!

    Each Cassette is hand drawn and painted, with various drawings scribbled across it, giving it a personal feel. These are (obviously) very time consuming to make - which I don't mind - and contain a lot of songs I would never show publicly, so therefore means a lot to me, so I'll be limiting these to 6 at the moment!!

(Verse one) The needle pressing The skin on my arm Knowing that it will Do me harm (Verse two) Tracing beneath Forgotten scars My skin a canvas for Stories past (Verse three) An everlasting memory Something you cherish Yet are you a canvas For someone else's merit? (Verse four) Watch as they make The first mark Their distinct style No signature Overall It is superior - Or some practice on your arm (Refrain) The needle pressing The skin on my arm Knowing that it will Do me harm

KEN 03:18
[chorus] I have tried, but the thing killing me inside, is winning, and I want to go home, home, home. [verse one] bend the plastic, to you will contort me into shapes, sculpt me into the thing you love best; chisel me till I am someone else. [sample] Remember, it's ok to question the world around you, but you probably won't find the answers you're looking for. [verse two] Chiselled from marble, You wish I was stone. Sculpt me into your so called perfect mould! [Harvey Milk] I will fight to give those people who had once walked away... [verse three] And I'm terrified that who we be will get lost in translation easily; and so we fight to change our rights, equality is what we seek! we do not sugarcoat it, sometimes feel demoted whenever identity's brought into play, femininity granting me anonymity, why do I find that just so hard to say?? [verse four] These are not my clothes! This is not my skin! I am wondering who the hell I am in! The world is a mess and I must confess I am what the media represents!

WASTE 04:31
(hook) But I'm so scared I'm trying I don't want to waste my life (verse one) This just feels like a scary illusion You hold me dear so I won't lose you Words like bullets Penetrate me I sit there Let the feelings take me (verse two) Surreal silence Not a word said Thoughts racing Better left unsaid (chorus) And I'm so scared I'm trying I don't want to waste my life It's only a matter of time (verse three) I feel nauseous I can't take this But I know I'm running your patience (verse four) Can I get a word in edgeways? Lips, sealed shut My arms a gateway Heaven is not far behind (hook) But I'm so scared I'm trying I don't want to waste my life I don't know what to do... [Part Two: Raindrops]

about

This is my debut album that I've been working on since early 2018 (around March).
I would say it's pretty good, but I'm biased (It is pretty good).
There are lo-fi ambient songs, there are some really trippy instrumentals, and really good lyrical-y songs in this! Hope you enjoy!! Please feel free to torrent this and spread it around!!!

If you buy the album, you get a load of bonus artwork!! Woo Hoo
