1.	One Can Only Hope 01:55	lyrics
I can hope One could hope I can hope One could hope Only hope... I don′t know I can hope One could hope One can only hope I can only hope I can only hope I'm the one
2.	Why Did You Freeze 01:30	lyrics
Why did you freeze Why did you freeze Why did you freeze White in the kiss Why did you freeze Why did you freeze Why did you freeze Why did you freeze Why did you freeze Why did you freeze Why did you freeze
3.	Moving The Fork 01:50	lyrics
(I feel dead in most ways) If I can′t die with you Then I simply won't die at all If worse comes to worst I am immortal If worse comes to worst I am immortal If I can′t die by you Then I won't die at all The worst thing that could happen is that I'm immortal If worse comes to worst I am immortal No true love comes easily I reach its hand My tongue outstretched They put it on my hand I love it when it moves I love it when it moves, yes I do I love it when it moves I love it when it moves, yes I do Could I love another more Could I love another more Who would know and who would care Everything I want from a person is right in this one It′s not called setting myself up For another emotional breakdown If I′m sure that the outcome Is going to be perfectly positive
4.	Wartime 01:56	lyrics
Oh fuck, calm down (I won′t calm down) I need fulfillment Anita is my filament I'm a ghost, I′m a goat You're the tree, you're the sun I am the chaste moon I give it to myself Oh fuck, calm down (I won′t calm down) When we meet, dig a hole Don′t let dirt overflow Stop the watch, stop the watch I won't calm down Love has its way (Nobody could be that perfect) Toward endearment I take my tack Push my tack (Outside you)
5.	Be My Bridge 02:52	lyrics
Oh the room All I have is still so much Still so much I have gold but all is kept in one same place In one same place I cannot have access to that single room And yet I can′t forget If I stop my staring I won't be the man I am Keeping gold in its place (I would try so very, very hard) I would try so very, very hard To let you in my world To watch you walk around I would try so very, very hard To help you step inside To keep you in my sight I don′t have to let you know my soul But that is what I want And that is what you'll get If you'd like to cut me from the chain I will bring you here You can bring me there You can be my bridge But there′s nothing on the other side That′s better than that bridge
6.	Just Because I Am The Target Boss 01:53	lyrics
No one tell me when to bite No one tell me when to bite Just because I am the target boss Just because I am the target boss Just because I am the target boss Just because I am the target boss How could this world happen without me in it How could this world happen without me in it Just because I am the target boss Just because I am the target boss Just because I am the target boss How could this world happen without me in it How could this world happen without me in it Just because I am the target boss Just because I am the target boss
7.	Condemned To Adore The Avatar 02:45
8.	The Stage 01:02	lyrics
Would I just die if you came in my walnut shell So quick I can't see Does the stage have a stake I can put in it Will my life be a dream There are lips we could kiss when we're wanting it She tore its layers with her teeth What could I dream besides having Anita here with me I am not the... the person who gives up their only dream Feel
9.	Dovish One 01:53
10.	St. Valentine's Day Massacre 02:50	lyrics
We′re both nervous But you are the most nervous You are the most nervous person in this whole room It's going to happen anyway Might as well cause a scene Why wait till you get home when you can cause a scene here You have no reason not to cause a scene here ′Cause you're the most nervous person in this whole room
11.	Uncertain Spines 01:35	lyrics
I was most certain of the fact I was most certain of the fact I was most cert... ain... That’s the spine failing Feeling uncertain of what Feeling uncert-what Feeling uncert-what Feeling certain, what, what Listen, listen Feeling uncertain of what Feeling undeserved, what Feeling undeserved, what Feeling undeserved, what Notice my certain habits Notice my certain habits Notice my certain habits Notice my jerky, golden hand This night Take me, feel me back This night Take me, feel me back This night Take me, feel me back This night
12.	Future Sight 02:01	lyrics
You won’t die off You won’t die off And this you all assume with sureness To entertain any other type How could I love it less What if we haven’t loved each other yet But we both know that it’s what we should expect What if we haven’t loved each other yet But we both know that it’s what we should expect What if we haven’t loved each other yet But we both know that it’s what we should expect What if we haven’t loved each other yet But we both know that it’s what we should expect Is it bad I know the future?
13.	Warworks 00:33	lyrics
(I'm a goat) (You're the sun) I'm a ghost I'm a goat You're a tree You're the sun I am the chaste moon I give it to myself Love has its way Love has its way Love has its way Love has its way Love has its way Love has its way Love has its way Love has its way I'm your goat

about

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

“A series of strange and seemingly symbolic dreams having to do with my quest to find Anita left me feeling increasingly anxious and resulted in chronic insomnia. These dreams appeared to be saying that I had already encountered Anita and did not recognize her when I saw her, and that scared me so much. How was that possible when I didn’t leave the house?

The persistent sleeplessness led to a weakened immune system and I subsequently succumbed to high fever and flu which left my throat in worse condition than ever yet before and demolished the hope that I had felt in previous months.”

Between 2009 and 2016 my standard day contained four doses of opioids (or later, kratom). The first dose would be consumed in the morning upon waking, and the fourth was standardly taken shortly before bed. The term “five-dose day” therefore refers to a day of above-average length and bears the negative implications of insomnia and/or anxiety, being that a five-dose day was very rarely deliberate. The month of March 2010 contained nearly two dozen five-dose days.

I strongly associate this album with the taste of cigarettes smoked through sick, congested sinuses. Any smoker should know the gross, scratchy feeling and taste that I describe. I can practically smell it on these songs.
