the prominent tree holds no mystery to me and I live in the inverted woods where the shackles and chains of the last vernal rain rub my nose in the dry summer soot the rusty tire iron has broken my spine and I crawled a malevolent mile I have vomited roads and squashed forest toads and nearly choked on my bile this is the season where we hamstring reason and fly the crescent is crimson alongside her rim and her center a sickening white her power will swell but you never can tell whether she yearns to kiss or to smite this is the season where we hamstring reason and fly

there's blood in the water in flyover country a vampire castle a figure of eight I knew you were lying I know what you're thinking I tried not to scare you it's prob'ly too late the knives are all sharpened it probably happened who cares if she's bleeding complicit in fate the marys are bloody in hangover country the stakes have been sharpened a figure of hate the murky seas churning the kraken awakens the tidewater ripples now throw in the bait

You know I stole this chord progression I hope you don't mind Were you looking for an outside connection To waste all your time Forget about hearts and states of the art you can have some of mine anytime

I'm throwing out my cel phone I'm tired of all the bad texts tired of all the plot holes tired of being on read Keep sayin' on the weekend I'll drive myself to your place Traffic on the 43 Shock all on your face She's going on and on about her big things I keep thinkin' I'm not ready What's going on and on is such a mystery She ain't speakin', I'm not ready Stuck in my bed, my head is in a bad way One more minute, I'm not ready All these complaints I make are gonna fix things No one hears'em I'm not ready.

I tried to trust you But fangs are for incisions I think you know I'm programmed for bad decisions Am I awake I feel I must be dreaming Are you real Or simple simply scheming You turn on and off and on a million times a minute What you haven't noticed is my patience has a limit (it's time for you to disconnect me) Take me offline Bad time sunshine I am the fly Caught up in your machinery I see you smile And disappear into the scenery You've got me pinned Now it's clear what you're intending A sparkly void where the pain is neverending You turn on and off and on a million times a minute What you haven't noticed is my patience has a limit You're content to watch me dance around at your insistence I invite you all to watch my act of last resistance (Its time for you to disconnect me) Take me offline Bad time sunshine

Hell 02:22
Heaven is a place Hell is just rooms Empty shelves and space Cars that don't move Fires will not warn us Of the thieves and the concubines that creep The struggling of Jacob. The Angels met on streets Heaven is a place Hell is just rooms Empty shelves and space Cars that don't move. Heaven is a place Hell is just you Thinking of what you say Scars you won't lose Its awful and it's simple And its not so easily undone The shade of a thimble Against the ever present sun

I was looking at the moon. No, the other moon. Your egg sac was ripe I took you by the tentacles I really like your tentacles I was looking at the moon No, the other moon no, no, no, no, no I was looking at the moon No, the other moon when daylight comes I'll speed to your planet

Xanax Paychecks Clap backs You Xanax Paychecks Clap backs You Girlfriends wondering where you are Make up running like a foreign car Tuesday mornings in the dark alone Keep Forgetting where I left my phone Staring out of a Volvo window. Wishing I was somewhere else Holding onto a certain angle Just so I can see myself When I'm running around Cool shades on I got no regrets All day long When I'm running around Cool shades on I got no regrets It don't last long Fuckin up my room again Fuckin up my head Fall asleep on the floor again God I miss my bed Fuckin up my room again Fuckin up my head Ill never sleep at your house again Dont wanna miss your bed Xanax Paychecks Clap backs You Xanax Paychecks Clap backs You Shower speaker playing way too loud Neighbors mad I need to turn it down Checking my messages for something sweet Gonna have to move next week Pack up my shit and hold my breath I'm Glad it hasn't hit me yet. Closet full of vintage dresses Brave face on, I'm such a mess. When I'm running around Cool shades on I got no regrets All day long When I'm running around Cool shades on I got no regrets It don't last long

Look At Me 02:51
sorry I’m too masculine for you I tasted your scorn on my lips children don’t speak unless spoken to so I bit out my tongue for the kids They all seemed distressed when you walked in the room wearing that dress if you caught them looking just think of what they might do they’re all swinging Dicks Toms Harrys and Barbies with perfectly smoothed-over parts the rest of them looking for a tall man to save them as they sneak from their wives in the dark They all sound annoyed when you have your moment the girls and the boys who won’t say your real name no matter how many times you told them Yeah you can look at me I get it, I get it Yeah you can look at me I get it, I get it

Empty halls Displeased with The cat calls allegiance Go on keep Your secret These scuffles One misstep Repeated When it bled You tasted What it meant I'm not going through this again x 4 All hours Staying in for some air Circuits blowing That cannot be repaired As if you forgot to mention it Did you think it was irrelevant Phone dying It was so badly planned Someone's joking And its at my expense As if it was something menancin' Did you think that I was delicate Why don't you Say something Say something Say something Say something Say something Say something x2 Our quicksand This one room Your mission Your God too You're awful I'll love you No one knows That won't do In ribbons I'll hold you This program's Control move I'm not going through this again x4 (smash the control images, smash the control machine) All hours Staying in for some air Circuits blowing That cannot be repaired As if you forgot to mention it Did you think it wasn't relevant Phone dying It was so badly planned Someone's joking And its at my expense As if it was something menancin' Did you think that I was delicate Why don't you Say something Say something Say something Say something Say something Say something x2

about

A genre-defying trip through a very strange February Album Writing Month and the associated aftermath, Aubrey Van Gelded's FAWM 2022 release is sure to contain music and tracks that mildly sound like music. Thrill to the vocoded menace! Jam out to utility-grade guitar solos! Grab yourself a chicken addendum and ponder the ineffable mysteries of the Sky Bvtches.

Tracks 1-14 were were written for February Album Writing Month 2022, and are sometimes rough - the pace is a song every two days, which rewards speed over polish.

The remaining tracks were written after and benefit from a more relaxed timeframe.

This material was conceived between February and May 2022 at Studio Les Ordures, Milwaukee Wisconsin.
