lyrics: THEY SAID that misery can’t be summarized in a single sentence. Instead of venting and speaking over others, the man took a stance with listening instead. Taking out his notebook, he wrote all the blank pages in with the dialogue of the stories of those around him. He tried anything to preserve and convey the original raw emotion displayed by these individuals. Years on he kept writing the stories, unknown to them, leaving out anything that would infringe specifically on their privacy. One common thread was found in all of these short excerpts: they all resulted in loveless people. He took these liner notes and made them out to the public. This is that notebook.

Sometimes we all just want to see an end, even with none in sight Kind-of like how fiction wraps it all up We get caught in that lie, Unlike all that fiction We refuse to realize the truth This apartment is burning down right now No one around was really surprised, To those that visited, they thought we kept excellent care But those that lived around knew the true travesties we hid behind The rambling from overdue rent, To our backs from the whips we cracked I don't care to argue who burned the apartment, While the six of us are alive, the tenant and the landlord are dead I heard them scream aloud and fight in the night Yet you came by in the day Between all the stuff that sparked, I never thought about how it'd end After boiling the birds The two of us Found a new place, prepared to settle down Searching for ways to relocate We grabbed supplies from the general stores Until they all closed up shop On the way back, we ran out of fuel We had to throw our new beds out To push our car up to the hill It was the only gas station nearby In this sketchy part of town As you went inside I hit some small talk with a graveyard attendant She tried to pitch me used condoms and corks You came back She glared at you right in the eye, while I looked up to the see midnight sky On sudden surprise She asked, How much are you worth?

We all got together to tell the story, Of a fallen identity and a sunken ship They've been down here with no worries, Even after the tragedies Deep inside One wants isolation While the others beg for comfort He's up at the top now, watching him drifting He's lost his speech, and his will to speak It may be the lion's den but They sure don't know where they've been The drafts They lay here on the floor Most of them being plain Among them, a flavored one can be found "I'll watch em all hang From brass to Wind From Percussion to String Each and All of them Hanged high on a noose Starting with you" This ship is sinking Why save it when they can't save themselves? The ones who've been here since it all begun They've a confession to make as they shout "We only stayed around for pitty Now we await For this trio to drown in their own regret" "I want to be fixed For that there's no steeple" On the last night They drank and ran until the dawn came, Through all three floors They called up all their dead friends And told them what they truly think To numbers that wouldn't answer Ringed up their bosses Torched them all up No job once they sobered up Drunkess, It's how they tell the truth While the two were sleeping, He wrote his final letter, Placed it on the front door Broke all the lights, Driving far away With a bunch of their possesions In the car He woke the whole town up As they gathered the mob He burned their guitar Underneath his legs He watched afar The whole town ablaze He got drugged, got a lot stronger To get back at Stepfather Where's the line between family and not? He used to call him Father, but now we call him Bastard There's an infamous march Down on the avenue It goes like Eh nevermind The Lead wakes up, reads the letter at the door step "I'm leaving Don't worry about needing me around Don't worry about me Even I'm not concered about me I'll support from afar, I guess I'll find my way back home You'll be better off without me" He walks away from the scene as he just committed an unspeakable crime All that can be heard "Oh please come back"

about

Somewhere in lands afar, it's the exact same town as it's always been. "Escape" whispers to the face of two deluded characters. Escape? What could that mean to them? No one ever leaves this cult-knight fundamentalist town. Even the sane ones don't know whether they're sane anymore. With no one left to turn to but their own music, "The Watcher" and "The Lead" take the center stage back to the town where it all began

It's time to restart from the beginning. To 1985.

I had to post a track to go with the bandcamp, so here it is, the preview to the wonderful (and terrible) story that's still set to come out this year! I also graced you guys with a bit of demo's - Mostly just to give a taste of what's coming lyric wise. The current demo's were all recorded via Skype.

This is a page where I'll generally be able to update what's going on with the album, credits, and other stuff. I'm hoping to get some sort of preview each week that I can. It's a long process, but I do hope that any interested don't leave!

For any questions contact twitter.com/thirdkoopa or just use the email function we have ready at demodisease@gmail.com

Watchers, Imposters, and Authors will have a release later this here. Thank you for joining this wild ride.
