Car is Pas't 01:59
When it's our time to go The airplanes are soon to follow With one last blue-gray cough I cast my burdens off I'm not turning her over I'm not turning her over I'm not turning a corner I'm not turning at all With one last blue-gray cough This car is pas't With one last blue-gray cough This car is pas't
2.
Such a fool for thinking A lousy two dollars and fifty cents Would be sufficient to Counteract the downward pull A fool for thinking you Could force these rusted parts to move I have carried too much of your weight I have taken up too much of your hate Lock up or not, and leave whatever behind Two tons of iron resigned
3.
These cold and vacant chambers Were once often occupied By a volatile vapor And every single time Your spark lit the mixture That crack of the whip I took the pain for you I bear'd the heat and the distance I drank up every drop of your essence Only for me to find myself forsaken Wearing what's left of what meals the doves had taken Crusted Dried up Dead in a parking-lot

I d'know I d'know Decisions don't come easily When I don't know what the shit I'm supposed to be doing (With my life) Or do I I could paint you a picture or make you a movie (It's so easy for me) I could sing you a song about all my frustrations I'll take every single one of you on My plate to eat you with knife, fork and spoon And I will no longer idly observe While you take all the success I deserve I've been humble Indiscernible as an ant in a line How does one stand out Without drawing attention

Will I just 03:10
If at all When was it you How can I tell the difference between My own intuition and something more Is there something more Is there some force That will bring me Back around When I fin'ly go to sleep Will I fin'ly know Or will I just

about

About three weeks before releasing this, my car broke down. I decided I'm done with owning a car for now. I've been walking/biking/busing instead. It's a nice change. I'm feeling positive. In the short time since my automobile and I gave up on each other, I produced this EP. As with my other recordings, much of its origin lies in improvised recording sessions at home.

about

Anaximander Austin, Texas

A solo, multi-instrumentalist songwriting experiment centered around making exactly the sounds I want to (vocals, guitar, analog synth, and drums) without any pre-recorded samples or sequences, even when performing live.
