about

Things are not good and a lack of sleep doesn't help!

lyrics

Restful sleep eludes me as the days just flow together. Mental health already wasn’t great under a deeply flawed capitalist healthcare system, now its limits pushed even further by a global pandemic mismanaged by a corrupt an inept government. Now it’s a full on crisis. Everything is a crisis. Isolation. Air pollution from a state on fire. An upcoming election with dire consequences globally and locally. Is this even real life anymore?


Existential dread
Stuck inside my head
Thrashing in my bed
I’ll sleep when I’m dead

Our very survival has been politicized. One side rational and the other living in a complete fantasy world determined to drive us to extinction under the auspices of freedom while they simultaneously lick the boots out authoritarianism. Maybe we really deserve extinction. Perhaps as a species we’ve simply run our course.

Plague is everywhere
Fires choke the air
Life is so unfair
I don’t even care

So much is at stake
Bonds begin to break
Mind and body ache
Icing on the cake

So here we sit on the brink of life or death, freedom or fascism, working ourselves to death for crumbs no matter what happens. How are you feeling? I’m just great! Now if only I could get some sleep.

Patience growing thin
Fascism creeps in
Our societal sin
Toss it in the bin

about

Suburban Death March Alameda, California

A solo recording project born in the plague years by a suburban dad in the East Bay. Sometimes heavy and doomy, often proggy, occasionally soundtrack-y or mellow, but always weird.
