Composure 02:25
lyrics

Ordinarily I wouldn’t want to lose my mind I would definitely try to stay in line I would fight back the tears for a couple of years I would certainly do all I could to shine hold my head up high and stand up straight and tall fight the urge to laugh or even smile at all in an emergency I’d always do th’ right thing and calmly help frazzled when they fall Ordinarily I wouldn’t want to scream and shout Ordinarily I wouldn’t want to freak right out but I’ve been quiet so long would it really be wrong to jump up out of my seat and dance about Ordinarily I wouldn’t want to lose my mind I would definitely try to stay in line

we know that your coming home represents a sort of loss for you so while you’re sad understand we’re glad to have back the love we knew Everyday when the marginal band plays The tedious horns blow, you’ll be you I’ll be me and they’ll be them and we’ll all know that you’ll be you we know that your coming home represents a sort of loss for you so while you’re sad understand we’re glad to have back the love we knew Everyday when the marginal band plays we’ll all know that you’ll be you

Dream During the night During the day In every way Things Begin with dreams Begin with thoughts Whatever may Ignore all the logical, laid-out goals and plans Ignore the common-sense, realistic man Dream When you are young When you are old And in between Things Begin with dreams Begin with thoughts Yeah, everything Ignore all the logical, laid-out goals and plans Ignore the common-sense, realistic man Dream While you’re asleep And don’t wake up No, don’t wake up Keep Your thoughts and dreams Just out of reach And run amok Ignore all the logical, laid-out goals and plans Ignore the common-sense, realistic man Ignore all the logical, laid-out goals and plans Ignore the common-sense, realistic man

Unskilled Students 02:51
lyrics

I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout the mysteries of life again How I can hold you in my hand, my hands so small Revolution can come when you least expect it But when you most expect it, it still can come Built by unskilled students without a plan Unskilled by any measure known to man Dinosaurs died before any cannonballs would fly And yet they still managed to die Crazier things have come before and more are still to come Someday our artifacts will lie (when they wonder why) Built by unskilled students without a plan Unskilled by any measure known to man... Built by unskilled students without a plan Unskilled by any measure known to man

You better not be kidding I’m not a hard man to fool I take the words I hear as true Regardless of what words I’m given On the landscape of hopeless heartbreak The coffee mug wine is mine it’s barely open i’m very swollen i’m fairly certain it’s mine You better not be kidding I made a bet, I bet it all I’m not prepared to fall I’m not prepared either for winning I’m pouring, the coffee mug wine do you want your own, or just share some of mine I’m pouring, the coffee mug wine for what feels like the very last time yeah it feels like the very last time

Hanging dead magnets around your neck. Sending beeps and blips through walls of cement. It’s not. It’s not what you want. I know it’s not what you meant. Hanging dead magnets around your neck. It’s not. It’s not what you meant. Furtherer of myths Fourths and fifths and sixths Furtherer of hits Swing and swing and... Having technology around your head. To have a firehorse and then to beat him dead. It’s not. It’s not the best. Check check. Tech techie tech. The furtherer you could around your head Furtherer of myths Fourths and fifths and sixths Furtherer of hits Swing and swing and...

You Better Not Be Dead 02:38

You better not be dead... You better not be dead When I come back home I better find you sound asleep in bed. You better be alone You better find me a home. Ooh ooh ooh. We all need a home, and so do you. Invented by your gill Your pumping half-full heart Keep it keeping time, keep your vessels filled. You never did your part. You better not be dead. You better not be dead. You better not be dead. You better not be dead. You better not be home Or else you’ll find me dead You better not be sleeping all alone. All alone in bed. We all fall softly. Ooh ooh ooh. We all fall softly, and so should you. You better not be dead. You better not be dead. You better not be dead. You better not be dead.

about

King Everything wrote the songs, sang, and played a little guitar. This was done back in May 2015. The songs sat on the cloud, forgotten until January 2016. At that time, Tea Sky Blue took those rough tracks and, in about a week, breathed life into them.

credits

released January 21, 2016

King Everything wrote all songs, sang all lead vocals and most back-up vocals as well as playing most of the acoustic guitar.

Tea Sky Blue played all other guitars, bass, harmonica, synth, backing vocals and utilised various pots, pans and found objects in the absence of an available drum kit. All additional instruments were recorded using cables and microphones scavenged from old video games.

The lyrics for "Just an Ordinary Man" are from a Donald Barthelme story called "How I Write My Songs"

The artwork is an alternate version of the illustration 'Oni Gent' from the 'Sad Truths' series by illustrator Carrion House.
