I'm so bored of this bullshit Every second more of it Not gonna stop, it won't quit I am overwhelmed by all this sharing of your information Make it stop Your stupid face, your stupid kids Your on and off relationships and Pictures of your fucking food and Pictures of your dumb vacations Your opinion is dumb It's making me irrationally angry at The internet
2.
I guess I can say I've been aging with grace Hair is intact and some grays on my face And I've only put on about ten pounds in the past decade As soon as I wake up, I'm already stuck I can't focus on anything worth a fuck I'm ignoring this nagging persistence that won't go away I'm sick of being at odds with myself I know what to do and that's part of the problem I've dealt with my whole life, I guess I'm just fucked, 'cause I always get it wrong, I don't think that I'll ever get it (I'll never get it) I'm backing down, this fight's a loss Retire to my legacy as a never-will-be I am knee-deep in self-defeat, I'm a champion (I'm a total fucking champ) Every fucking day is complete disarray, I'm a total fucking catch I'm fucking fucked Even though I can see My self-awareness draped in hyperbole It's what I'm good at I'm also really awesome at Never getting anywhere at all, I don't think that I'll ever get it (I'll never get it) All the important shit is lost, somewhere inside my stupid head (My brain is dead) I'm backing down, this shit's a bust Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah forget it Fuck this, I'm going back to sleep
3.
No Service 01:44
Staring at it staring back at me Even though I'm on this thing constantly Unable to get up and move Motivation's gone, no more to lose Should've known I'd fuck it up somehow Freaking myself out over this On top of everything else, it's so stupid This all could end if I could bring Myself to simply answering Myself is clearly my undoing I wanna say, I'm gonna pick up and seize the day But I won't, so I'm not gonna try I'm going back to sleep, in my mind the sound repeats Taunting me, I can't ignore, echoing forever in my core I suck at being a grown-up I suck
4.
Worst 01:11
Sitting here all day and, of course, I'm stuck with you I thought I left the fucking worst behind, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind This place already sucks but you make it so much worse And I'm about to blow the fuck up any minute, any second now You're the worst, you're the fucking worst excuse of life on Earth So, why I don't I just go ahead and quit this fucking bullshit job And you can find somebody else to yell at all day angrily (Fuck this, I quit) Fuck you and your lack of social skills you fucking lunatic You're tactless, unprofessional and I'm so sorry that you are fat* (Fuck you, I quit)
5.
A lot's been said between us and I know there's more to say Of nothing ever changing and that we are not okay And I know that time's not on our side So we go, on with our own lives Priorities are shifting but I'm still stuck in a haze I've spent way too much time deciding how to waste my days The hardest part is how I'll spend my life I guess I'll start by earning back my pride But something's missing Promises made, I've fallen through, you're making moves And someday soon I'll get done what I've committed to I've fallen behind, way more than I could've thought And I'm drowning in this pain of never knowing what I want I'm fucking terrified of possibilities I don't know what to do with all these parts or this one piece And regardless of the progress there just ain't no guarantee That in the end I'll know what I think makes me feel complete There's something missing and I miss it everyday There's something missing and it feels so far away I know it's not, there's only so much I can do Whatever happens, hopefully someday I'll have a clue There's something missing and I miss it everyday There's something missing and I miss it everyday There's someone missing and I miss her everyday This stupid life is wasted on me

about

BUY THE 7" HERE!!!: bloatedkat.storenvy.com

Oh, hey. I'm Azeem. Some people know me as Ace, though most of these "some people" refer to me as "that other guy" from House Boat that isn't Mikey Erg or Zack and/or "that other girl" from The Steinways that isn't Michelle Shirelle. Even weirder is that sometimes a fraction of most of some of these people refer to me as the handsome and exotic Chris Johnson (of Turkletons/Strait A's/Punchlines-fame.)*

I write songs sometimes and I ALSO play instruments. Crazy, right?! Since I have a quota of zero songs in my boss Grath Madden's bands (which turns out to be 1 or 2 songs after a bunch of strong-arming and whining), I found myself in a quandary: a bunch of songs and no bands to play them with! My mom suggested I pretend to be a band and go record the songs myself. So, I did that. Thanks, Mom! It was pretty crazy playing everything all at once, you guys! Boy are MY ARMS TIRED!!!




*Only Chris Johnson has ever referred to me as the handsome and exotic Chris Johnson.

I played bass and sang in House Boat. Before that I played guitar and sang in The Steinways. Currently, I sing and play guitar in Weird Skin. These are songs that I wrote and played on my own. Party!*
