Lay it on the table If there's nothing left to lose. I've been reborn a thousand times Just to get these same old blues You've got your Personal Womb Isn't that nice?! Somewhere to crawl up in When lightning strikes twice The wrinkles on my face are from staring down time Trying to stay young Trying to rhyme You've got your Personal Womb Isn't that nice?! Somewhere to crawl up in When lightning strikes twice

Tusks 03:45
Soon my tusks will shatter And rain down on the mountains From the fading sun hanging Over a race that's doomed to die A motive that is tattered Chasing youthful fountains Truth is what I'm feigning For evil found itself in I. I sit in the dungeon As I take the beatings To whom does a god call to Am I the last resort? A clanking in the barrier A sword that is desheathing Doom and victory come through To save my last remorse.

Mama gonna tell you one thing but I better not tell you two Better be the only man you bring your sweet love to. I wake in the morning to see you covered in diamonds and pearls. With ruby rings and other things that make my blood just curl Now won't you tell me Did I ever cross the line I come home at night to hear my back door slam And I see you running away with some other man Well I'd tell that son of a gun he's gonna have to run faster too Cause I'm gonna shoot him down so he can't talk to you Now won't you tell me Did I ever cross the line Now won't you tell me Did I ever cross the line Now won't you tell me Did I ever cross the line

Swamp Funk 04:48
Come here lady tell me what you preach I'll give you the home if you give me the freak Yeah, I'll give you that house if you show me love Better swear that shit won't be from above. So I go to a pew to watch a pastor preach Tell me, son, what do you seek? Just do unto others as they'd do to you But if I ain't real nothing is true Father, God, why won't you speak? I've been on my knees for a goddamn week Father, God, what should I do? Son, the Lord, he's been screwing you

about

Music is played many ways. Ours is played with reverence to those who inspired us. All instruments, effects, and amplification were analog and were recorded simultaneously with bleed intentional. We played these songs with the same grit and musical communication we do live and at practice. Our good friend, Zac at the Jam Room, understood what makes a rock n roll record "kick yer ass" and upheld our same standards in the recording and mixing of this album. We hope you find our first step into madness as pleasing as we did.

Recorded 10/26/14 at the Jam Room Studio, Columbia, SC
