    Already Dead Tapes was kind enough to press a small batch of cassettes for Where The Music Goes To Die. They come with a free download card. So if you don't have access to a cassette player you can still listen to the album digitally. With a finely made alternative album cover designed by the brilliant Elise Powell, this high quality cassette is a really neat piece of merchandise. A cool keepsake for you, and you'll get that warm almost-sickening glow that accompanies helping out a struggling artist like myself. Seriously... I could use the money. You don't wanna know. It's bleak..

lyrics

I rest assured
that all my words
add up to less than a
single tear in an ocean.

And here I stand,
a broken man.
One more wounded heart
kneeling in devotion.

I direct my prayer
to the lord of motion:

“Oh Lord, let me be.”

I exchanged my youth
for a bit of truth.
It sank into my skin
like a heavy lotion.

And now each day
I strip away
another lifeless layer
of emotion.

I direct my prayer
to the source of notions:

“Oh Source, set me free.”

And:

“Is this really what you
want me to remember?
That nothing in this life
will last forever?”

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
