Little, little pit in my head Why did I go inside Don't take from my goddess, no Don't take from my goddess, no The barrel on the top makes quite the skull You seed her stomach the horror Don't take from my goddess, no The barrel on the top, wake up it's gone You seem to stomach the horror

Don't say no (No, no, no, no) I come to you Leave no room For your brain to lead its own direction I come to you Leave no room For your thoughts to think their own direction All racing, here comes it Tow it out to out of life Tow it out, out life Everyone good congregates in outside life Everything good comes from those congregations All sits in the other one, all the... And all sits in this one, it’s just me and Elijah With too much innate knowledge to not find this all so funny I'm just twenty years old My fibers are already too tough And you may not move them You cannot cut them You may not glue them You can bend them just a bit But you may not boil them Because they won't soften

about

The thirty-seventh release from Tendon Levey.
All music, lyrics and artwork improvised and executed by Tendon.

An excerpt from The Songs and Symbols of Tendon Levey: “ Sometimes referred to as “The Month of Many Laughs”, the final weeks of 2009 remain one of the most notorious periods of my lifetime, being unbearably dark, desperate and deranged.

After months of constant choking, starving and sleeplessness caused by the tightness of my throat and the coldness of my body I had reached the absolute pinnacle of suffering that I could bear. I was dangerously underweight after months of being unable to eat. The only bright side to it all was the fact that I had planned to commit suicide on New Years Eve. On Christmas I would be getting a new computer which didn’t freeze every time a program was opened, so I figured that I could quickly mix my recent albums and post them on some file transfer website before ending my life. That was my plan. And this would give me the time to make just one last album as I awaited my coming death. At once emotional, numb and traumatized, I set out to create Bot of Big God, Bomb of His Whirs.

This period takes its name from a particularly disturbing ritual of sorts which I carried out on a daily basis for all the month. Said ritual would involve me lining my dim-lit bedroom with photos of faces, upon which I would turn on a particular song by funk musician George Clinton and I would masturbate. Then, after ejaculating, I would look up to find all of the faces laughing at me from in the darkness of my cellar and I would fill with agony and I would curse them. I did this repeatedly in the hopes that I would one day find an exception. Then I would coat my face in semen and I would run to fetch a coffee from the upstairs which I would take with me into the shower stall. I would sit in the dry shower and convulse for the next ten to fifteen minutes before returning to my cellar to record the music that would feature on Bot of Big God (and The Rifles in Mind Recoil, on which is contained many tracks leftover from these recording sessions). As I said, I did this every day of the month, or nearly so, and my reason for doing all of these specific steps was simply in an attempt to recreate the conditions in which this first came about.”

I am not sure that it makes as much sense as I once thought, but the title is meant to be interpreted as meaning something along the lines of ‘The Wrath Of God’. The title comes from a line in “Getting Pumpkin Pie” which depicts some Zeus-like deity casting lightning down from the heavens. Nut, or Nuit, the Egyptian sky goddess which appears on the cover, appeared to me one morning during a spell of sleep paralysis. I tried desperately to reach out to her for help, and when she disappeared so did my hope of surviving my circumstances.
