about

Big Crux side of the split 7" with Criminal Code. 200 press on Bedside Records; sold out. Recorded during the 2012 "Ponchito" LP sessions HMS, Seattle.

For Sarah KIrsch. Distressed by death of loved ones (or self), but solaced by indelible influence and champion, liberating spirit. Played out in a dream wondering if dead or alive after an injury; further dismayed when pleas to the presumed living fall on deaf or unwiiling ears. Who are the dead and who are the living? Mere mental mirages? How are stories, memories, energies kept alive? "Keep me alive, don't know if I can take it..."

lyrics

Saw you in space, kid
standing there
mind synapses
quick despair
shock in the air

Crashed your head heavy
blank stare
alive or defunct now
unaware
it’s up in the air

(chorus)
Mind betrays body
vessels gone astray don’t worry
those alive keep history
reworkin’ workin’
Who will continue these
electric folds
concept, all theory
or a sworn atheist that dies
screams for Jesús

Vacant stare chicken
are they there?
am I alive?
plead everywhere
chicken-walk stare

Energy resides up in the air
see right through me
teeth and hair

(chorus)

Reprise…
vessels float
up, down, in, out
a white bubble in an ocean
a prisoner of time

Loaded, spacetime, vessels, with you, loaded, spacetime…
