Wrote a new song about mummifying pets. Can’t remember where i got the initial lyrical idea. I had it, googled around, and found this fun little site: http://www.summum.org/mummification/pets/. The lyrical content is based on shipping instructions and the other info from the site. Pretty strange. I know. Thanks for listening!

UPDATE: Figured out where I got the idea. It started after a friend was having problems with a roommate that was sticking dead animals in the freezer for some art project without telling the rest of the house. classy.

more about pet mummification:

Mummified

Scrub off the dirt off his corpse
Wrap him in a nice plastic bag
A cooler of ice water tight
lay him on a towel inside
send him off to be mummified
she won’t let go

they’ll dunk him down in the oil
they’ll put on the salt and put on the spice
they’ll wrap him up really nice
for the journey into the light
pack his favorite things for the ride
to the Unknown

she mummified
her dog when he died
so she won’t be alone
mummified
mummified
she keeps him by her
she keeps him by her side

paint on the eyes happy-like
on the casing bronze he’s inside
paint on a smile big and wide
so the guests can see what he’s like
pet the metal as if he’s a live
stiff as stone

Half a Heart is Hardly Half a Man

blood on my left hand
flowers held on the right
smoke in my left lung
incense fills up the right
and it’s hard to tell
which one I smell
both of them most of the time

lust in my left eye
blue sky scenes in the right
my right foot’s on solid ground
my left foot’s starting to drown
in sinking sand
and I can’t stand
splitting me right down the spine
killing me half of the time
forgetting to feel
what it’s like
to be whole
and feel alright

half a heart is hardly half a man
half a heart is hardly half a man
you can try to do the best you can
but half a heart is hardly half a man

thorns in my left side
cotton soft on the right
oh how my left hand
she don’t know what’s in the right
the alms it gives
while she still bribes
splitting me right down the spine
killing me half of the time
forgetting to feel
what it’s like
to be whole
and feel alright

half a heart is hardly half a man
half a heart is hardly half a man
you can try to do the best you can
but half a heart is hardly half a man

Horse Bones and Callused Toes

I’m sick of words to sing
in dylan cryptology
I’m sick of clever themes
like aethestic balladry
or a kid’s song to sing
with aberdeen apathy

words we bury with bodies below
just one sentence written in stone
I got something meaning to say
But I lost it under the pressure that came

and it’s callused toes kicking the dead horse’s bones

the politics we sing
like horse bones and callused toes
the suburban swing
with ‘pocalytiptic imagery
i’m sick of all the puns
the house that’s not home
oh how that gets old
and sure nuf i’ll be
afraid to even speak

Mixing went smoothly. From what it sounds like, mastering won’t start til another month which is fine since I still haven’t figured out anything for album art. Here’s a couple clips from mixing…
