A Start at the Dinner Table 05:45
lyrics
buy track
You've lost your turn, it's over now My selfish turn, an optimistic vow Same story, played on repeat The table's finally set, have a seat Exhaustion, redundant years of remarks It's time to bite the bark Mind's set, troubles gone Just what I've been hiding from all along You don't see what my problem is? Center caving, remorse loan You'll just leave this place And little did you that we've never seen face to face The time the place, all over now Critical hit, critical bow I've heard the ring five times today I hear it once and it never strays away Only listen, always contrive Build it up to watch it die Dead ends, sour times Every beginning starts a new decline Take this as a goodbye Before I start to see your aftermath begin to multiply Am I the disgrace?

C.B. 02:57

This scene's not lean Your head's filled with scheme C.B. You're rude You're mean Your head's filled with scheme C.B. Couldn't find your wool chair tonight? As stars and stripes define your life Broken through the forties I'd rather be moving west Than coordinate your separate sect Of speech inducting fault conversationalists Proud father, embarrassed son Big mouth, bigger cut And as they say There's only one speech we're listening to today

Little Boy 05:02
lyrics

Once I was a little boy Who couldn't tell the difference between shrill and coy Before we had sunk too soon Stowed away from sinking dooms Before succession, before the fall Before the ruling, we had it all Presume action, presume call Remember days of having it all Gone now Give in Same as it was back then I'll tear these books till extinction Its been one sided since the first breath Do you recall all our tricked amendments? Down labeled as environmental terrorist? Switch the sides, court the tries Crypt the calls, hypnotize In a way we all blame you I think that's something that we all got used to Thought our minds, tried our time Tried the fact, took the crime Once I was a little boy Who couldn't tell the difference between shrill and coy Before we had sunk too soon Stowed away from sinking dooms Before succession, before the fall Before the ruling, we had it all Presume action, presume call All can have it all

What Will They Think? 04:40
lyrics

The pole lit in the city As we drove past the scraper Burnouts and billboards Bent the neon scripture I'll play it as a joke Knit shoulder, tongue and choke Bivouacked, crumbled, and soaked I'm a brick here to bore Another guest of faith, and chore I can read it in your eyes I'm the one that you despise So save your stamps Your guilt free strategy Cry, kick, and scream Drown side, pity me But what will they think? They say the world's a mystery And I have to find it learning history Well I think that's a joke If you want to find it, go Go see what you can do P.S. Long Island is burning The frost turned black And the blinds are turning Now what can you do? Continue to be anti-dark blue Routinized, thoughtless, and futuristic Everything you taught me You got it all wrong We all have it wrong Here's an idea Stop

The Mysterious Hilly Landscape of A.I. 02:07
lyrics

You need you to get off that trail And go down the right path They need to help you get there And show you right from wrong I’ll see you never again But it's good advice Disrespect the kin and the kin will sing You’re not nice people You wouldn’t get me anyway Confusion and curiosity leads you down this path And it's not the right way Let’s see how you do it Spitting from the skyway Onto people’s heads And they say "rain’s on its way" You're the one in the crowd Who knows everything about everyone I never knew how much time it'd take before they'd realize Sorry about denying any lies or truths If you come around I don't want to be there

No Right for Wrong 05:15

Black hole skein Grip on stick Swinging through the smoke They've raised our cost We're falling apart Mom's going crazy Daddy's getting lazy Drowned out debt What are you looking for? Religious faith front? A concrete set future? Are we going to be okay again? I've seen it go both ways The world hasn't stopped

Seven Was My Song in New York 07:10
lyrics

How can I rewrite a two une tail? It seemed it happened every trip there This isn't some crate cell of complaints It's first wave oppression that needs to end We had just gotten off the plane There's always a few seconds of comfort till I meet all of you I always thought you were different But within a few hours I realized you were just like the rest It's not my fault that I have nothing to say It just seems easier to go away Remember when you picked us up from town? I didn't want to go down When will this all end? You met us on the floor Tripping over wedding decor And whispered in my ear I got pushed by C.B. So I turned around to see C.D. outside on the porch What followed next was something I could not forget Only lasting ten seconds Do you remember when you said I was too old for this? For bowing my head under another ceremony? Well I think you're too old to be throwing punches at waitresses Too old for getting drunk every chance you get Maybe I shouldn't even come around anymore All you people seem to do is complain about me saying nothing at all Do you remember when you took my chair? Do you remember when you said that those were your keys? What's with this virtue of nodding and respecting fellow venture capitalists? Do you really want to know what I think of you? Because it's clear what you think of me You know what's tearing us apart? Racism, sexism, capitalism, acneism, conversism, homophobia, transphobia, slut-shaming, the meat and dairy industry and killing for a hobby You say that I need to grow up But I'm just getting started

Sheep 05:05

It’s not a fashion show Dressing up like someone you don’t even know Quit the game, be yourself It’s not that underground if you dress like everyone else Population doesn’t get difference I guess it’s not your fault, better get with it Frowned upon by society Questioning them if they would lie to me Judging on looks isn’t going to get you anywhere Why can’t we all just treat each other fair? Now I’m running in circles again I’m lost and broken down again Questions and curiosity, I’ll lend I’m fading away again I got to get out of here before I lose my mind All of that seemed to have ended on the try site fide When all of the rulings and calmataries had no beginners guide How could we stand back and watch them still their minds? Throwing false fits to your coaches was quite the film set But you didn't care as long as they noticed you cared When they let go of the real meaning to obey They’ve been played I still remember that day April 17, 2013 Sitting on the bumper Tail clicked, feet racked When you fell through on me It doesn't have to be that way Throw your face full of say away So no one has to feel that way again Just apply some effort and we'll survive Like that old house on Manxcat Lane 45

Sand Spur 04:45
lyrics

It would never last Specs are dazed in the past Rides and drives of a premature cast Pictures, screens, and scars Force of drive in the car Trapped in this glass house for the final time Get out of my head and go back to bed You don't need me, I don't need you It's just dreams Counting all I've never said to you So get out of my head Silenced from experience Counting six years now You'd think I would have found something to say I've settled on dreams Seems I get somewhere in them It can either start Or it can never end Confessions from a sand spur Pricking onto your skin Waiting for signs of notice And it'll always stay the same Because I don't know how to play this game

Crackerspew (Wingfield Tenement) 02:30
lyrics

There's something wrong with the legion today Broken stems and kneels that promote scene hierarchy It all starts when you reach a certain age Press, click, and rank to put in place In truth we have seen it before Take a shift when you walk out a door Shilling up those who aren't safe As Stotz is rolling in his dug up grave One more thing before I go Leading and serving is not the set show Leave it alone before we all go Because I need it too We need it too I'll show you

Two More Years 06:30
lyrics

Two years have passed by Sitting on those steps at night Were they all right? Are these the best days of my life? As we fall away The honors have learned to obey But what about us? Where do we go? Who am I? Am I just another guy? I've been falsely accusing to succumb my minor bruising They said go away That we have no reason to stay The free from the poor Free food is a score This continous circle of the same routine Two more years to prove my worth Two more years till you corporately foe this earth Two more years and we'll be gone Two more years, that's all that's left for me He can't go anywhere They were born into this pay for profit game Where the people who have names continue to have names They don't know that it's hard to build your life when all you have is nothing All we have is nothing I've got two more years till the end of everything And I'm scared

about

The first full-length Pootie album. A myriad of simple riffs and awkward structures. A (mostly) clean acoustic guitar with a strange tone fills the void between a bass with no low-end and drums with (occasionally) deafening cymbals. You have to start somewhere, folks. This one ain't pretty. These songs were all part of the first batch of songs I ever wrote back when I was 13/14 years old. I remember recording many different demo versions of this album, the earliest originating back to 2013 when I first started doing music. The idea of the record changed over the years. At first it was way more rocking, with gruff vocals and sillier lyrics, but then it turned into more of an indie album with cleaner vocals most of the time. Then I went back and tried to make it a little more of a mixture of the two, by adding distortion to some of my parts, and taking off two of the lamer songs and replacing them with two songs from the earlier demos that were better. Those two songs (tracks 5 & 8) even contain some rough vocals recorded back in 2013, for some extra sloppy, old school Pootie flavoring. The damage had been done, though. It was just a weird indie album at the end of it all. It was a frustrating one to record because I didn't know how to accomplish what I wanted. I also didn't know what I wanted. I was 16 when I recorded this. I didn't really know what I was doing when it came to recording, writing, or structuring an album. I was just winging it in a sloppy manner and hoping for the best. Take caution when listening. I hadn't really found my style yet. I also hadn't figured out how to put a song together yet. Sometimes certain parts don't go with other parts! It may seem obvious now, but I was oblivious at the time. I was just a young kid trying to take myself somewhat seriously and figure music out. It has a nerdy, uncertain, vibe to it that some might be able to tolerate. I know I can't, half the time! Don't listen to me, though. Listen at your own risk!
