about

"A nostalgic stream of consciousness, interrupted by
the announcement of a newborn, and with it, a striking realisation
of my own mortality.

Contrasting old world sentiments with the anxiety of modern living."

lyrics

I received a box of teeth
from a good old friend
at a closing dentistry
after their final appointment

I must be givin' off a killer vibe, if you know what I mean
death is a curious thing
and there's something cool about stuff that gives you the creeps

I used to skate the park behind stockland, Nowra
before they tore it down to build something better
fuck it, there were too many tiny rocks, I always skinned my knees

we scanned for those suckers, like metal detectors
swept the concrete with rubber feet
oh hey my brother just had a baby

Bad Math

ye'know, somewhere in Gwynneville, there's a jar of his urine
that we had hidden, beneath a garden bed
I hope that years now it is found, and seen as a relic, maybe they'll clone him, maybe they'll leave it

Alice will learn to breath
a different kind of air
and I'll perish in time

oh I've only seen your picture,
but I already love you,
you're my family,
I'm your uncle
your tiny fingers will break if I squeeze too hard, oh that's frightening
what kind of god would be so cruel

Bad Math
Bad Math

oh I've only seen your picture,
but I already love you,
you're my family,
I'm your uncle
