Oh Okay 02:06
Everybody works and everybody do work work work do do do I see you fucked up a way I done before And the things you say they sound familiar Waking up on mountain sides and running through hot sand Get away don’t die today Get yourself back to the lake I seen ya gasping thats from me to you Everybody says that these sharks act uncool Get away don’t die today Just get yourself back to the lake I see you shakE and it bends me outta shape Everything you done was an Eiffel Tower wait Get it uptown if I could see it unleashed Evidence you caught done good gasped and teeth Anyways just get away bait was set to seal you fate Theres a better way than blood to get these fish back to that lake I see your flowers your flowers waiting I see you fucked up a way I did before And the things you say they sound familiar Get away don’t die today Get yourself back to that lake

It's Late 02:59
Mother was orphan father was a dumpster I feel psychotic maybe I’m the dumbest I’m in love with chaos baby it’s a problems I believe in nothing, living is a shuffle. If you need a little help ask for some help Brother was a leper, blisters on the surface Smoking with the doctors, blew away the nurses Can’t seem to stop it guess is have a problem Losing while I’m waiting take a silent exit If you need a little help ask for some help

All the shit you tried don’t make you a bad guy And the stuff you hide won’t show through to the outside And the things you lied about will catch up with you eventually And the wool you’re dyed in don’t make you some bad guy I’m just a bad guy with a lot of shit to hide, painted on the outside but mostly cold inside Like an uncooked piece of meat I’m nothing with out some fire on me I’ll cook up drama so that we can live a little longer Like an uncooked piece of meat I’m nothing with out some fire on me I’ll cook up drama so that we can live a little longer I’m just some bad guy with a lot of shit to hide, painted on the outside but mostly cold inside c’ mon (Solo) All the shit you tried don’t make you a bad guy And the stuff you hide won’t show through to the outside And the things you lied about will catch up with you eventually And the wool you’re dyed in don’t make you some bad guy

will not due they will not due No follow through will not due they will not due No threat to you All those small things you can not remember thanks to you and your residue Call me crazy this time till I tremble Let me know baby It’ll all be gravy what not to do I seen that too what not to do I seen that too And later on you’re dead and gone Your ghost ives on inside a song All those small things you can not remember thanks to you and your residue Call me crazy this time till I tremble Let me know baby It’ll all be gravy what not to do I seen that too what not to do I seen that too Then time goes bye and they move on Might hear your song and wonder when what not to do I seen that too what not to do I seen that too your ghost done did some stuff But I still don’t give a fuck All the things that you love aren’t true Fill the hole with what you use

“This ain’t my moment” he just sighed Came from a mountain top in Tennessee Lived in a trailer down in New Orleans “This ain’t my moment” open wide open wide This ain’t the ocean you can’t hide Terrible pain running up his spine Seeming like you hardly tried Running so fast you can’t hide There is a moment that we die We all die This ain’t my moment he just sighed Sitting forever in a house of glass Laughed so loud you’re splitting logs Warning from the doctor said this bodies shot Cousin John said to worry not Greater than but the city’s hot We all die This ain’t my moment he just signed Yeah I’m working the night shifts right now moving I’m moving shit And I don’t own a thing I can barely sing

You say you need a friend, well I do too You can rent me baby and ill rent you Ride me like the triumph in the cold rain Burn up every no no smoke will fit he space Just another song about maggots in the bong So now that we are friends, I just might let you in You can ride me hard, into this rainy sky Its all filled with hope and it’s hot as hell up here I’m waiting for the smoke to clear Just another song about maggots in the bong You say you need a friend, well I do too You can rent me baby and ill rent you Ride me like a GMC in the cold rain Burn up every no no smoke will fit he space Just another song about maggots in the bong So now that we are friends, I just might let you in You can ride me hard, into I’ll take you in Into this rainy sky all filled with hope It’s hot as hell up here waiting for the smoke to clear It’s just the same old song about maggots in the bong

Gnome Where 02:01
Alternate elegance Bestow some power Create an issue with Detached imagery Everything’s not my fault Forgot to say that part Get on the bus this time Help yourself unwind Interested in very little Just outside the middle Keep shuffling toward whatever Let me know when you get in Monumental change awaits you Not the kind that resonates through Other plans to build new things Please let them engines sing Quickly illuminated Relax your mind in state Step away from what you’ve known Tell all of those ghosts to go Tell all of those ghosts to go Under all this elegance Variables beyond the fence Winter is our only hope Exiled on side streets Yelling for attention Zebras to lioness Lately baby this ain’t gnome where Lately baby this ain’t gnome where

Above Clouds 02:26
Alright I guess they show you mean this the way they think you need it I guess they think you need it the way they think you believe it Do you think you’re free, are you and me? If we were free we wouldn’t need the ATM Are young another slave to the capital bank trade God damn this capital bank trade It’s got us all by the balls Ain’t nothing we can do except try and see it through Ain’t nothing we can do wait a second there is too We’ll make our own, we’ll make a home

Spring Rolls 03:02
I guess a guests left all that shit behind, now it’s mine Flop around in the sun for fun, now it’s one and done Try a trial for a while sell your smile for the extra mile Spring Rolls in and you’re ready the time flies bye just barely And baby ducks and the low rider trucks The corn in the cups I guess they give no fox

Newport News 02:57
Anger In the streets Yer Bleeding through ya sheets And sleeping on a beach Even if they teach it Chances are it won’t reach us don’t mean a hell of lot to you Maybe it wasn’t that Kool Frowned upon in your school Peacefully marching To get attention You burn your point in we wouldn’t listen now it’s all burning

about

This is Howardian's 10th full length album and is released along with a commemorative custom drum key. Howardian is an American pop collective fronted by Ian Vanek (x-Japanther.) The group uses loose poly rhythms, sticky synth melodies and dynamic vocal hooks to make strange songs for weird people. The resulting infectious art-rock is authentic and catchy. Howardian's tracks feature fuzzy, distorted walls of sound and plenty of samples, all with a scuzzy garage-rock vibe. The art for the album and for the Drum Key package was created by Lily Garcia.
