Outer shell's not doing well no more, But look at what's inside... All the circuits fried, and everything I know is closing out the windows with you... And I, well I need to reboot. Puttin' down like numbers on a screen. What do they all mean? Where do they all go? Why are they all 1s and 0s to me? They're green... They're scrolling down the the screen... SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. Does not compute. Pressing down ctrl, alt and delete. To get me on my feet... To get me out the door... To get me OFF THE FLOOR... And back to the work station would be, For you to use my numerous tools. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute.

I’m leaving if you are, There’s blood on your hands, You can hit me with your car. You can teach me to dance. There’s only pain in this world, baby, You got me running around like I’m insane, The only game in this world, baby, I’ve already lost, You really know how to play. Everybody has a deck of cards... Everyone has a queen of hearts... Everybody has a poker face... Believing, believing I’ve won, When you’ve gotta straight. You’ve got it straight enough! You’ve got it straight! You’ve gotta straighten up! You’ve got a straight! I’m happy if you are. There’s no time to waste. We can go somewhere near or far but, It depends on your taste. There’s only pain in this world, baby, You got me running around like I’m insane, The only game in this world, baby, I’ve already lost, You really know how to play. Everybody has a deck of cards... Everyone has a queen of hearts... Everybody has a poker face... Believing, believing I’ve won, When you’ve gotta straight. You’ve got it straight enough! You’ve got it straight! You’ve gotta straighten up! You’ve got a straight! Everything I thought I knew, I don’t know it. Hope I don’t go, Fuck it up and blow it. I’m leaving if you are, There’s blood on your hands, You can hit me with your car. You can teach me to dance. There’s only pain in this world, baby, You got me running around like I’m insane, The only game in this world, baby, I’ve already lost, You really know how to play. Everybody has a deck of cards... Everyone has a queen of hearts... Everybody has a poker face... Believing, believing I’ve won, When you’ve gotta straight. You’ve got it straight enough! You’ve got it straight! You’ve gotta straighten up! You’ve got a straight!

Don’t bother me at 3am, When I am sinking in the sand, I’m fast asleep while wide awake, It’s an illusion, always fake. It’s too steep, not enough rope, Handful of pills I swallow, It cuts deep, it’s hollow, Busts at the seams, I’ve come home. Sorry I don’t have what it takes to save you, The monster you’ve become, is the one that ate you. Sorry I don’t have, what they said or gave you, The only one you love, is the one that hates you. Everything you say, I always see through. I can’t wait to bury you, Pour the dirt all over you, Maybe I’m delusional, I put the fun in funeral. I got away, I’m not ashamed, Dodged all excuses and your blame, I’ll dig a hole inside myself, So long I’ll see you all in hell. Sorry I don’t have what it takes to save you, The monster you’ve become, is the one that ate you. Sorry I don’t have, what they said or gave you, The only one you love, is the one that hates you. Everything you say, I always see through. I can’t wait to bury you, Pour the dirt all over you, Maybe I’m delusional, I put the fun in funeral. Sorry I don’t have what it takes to save you, The monster you’ve become, is the one that ate you. Sorry I don’t have, what they said or gave you, The only one you love, is the one that hates you. Everything you say, I always see through. I can’t wait to bury you, Pour the dirt all over you, Maybe I’m delusional, I put the fun in funeral.

Get outta of my head! (x69) She’s coming coming for you, There’s nothing to lose, An eye for an eye, A tooth for a tooth. Get outta of my head! (x6942069) Get outta my bed! (x420) She coming for me, There’s nowhere leave, There's nowhere to go, There’s nowhere to sleep. It’s about to rain, So you wear me, (Get outta of my head!) Like a trenchcoat, Hold me underwater everyday, (Get outta of my bed!) And somehow I float, Targets in my brain, (Get outta of my head!) I never hit em like, A high note. Wanna get away somewhere, Only you and I know. Got a new set of eyes, (I’m not blind.) Got a new pair of shoes, (To walk on through.) my fragile mind, (The stars align.) My crooked spine, (Your crooked smile.) It’s about to rain, So you wear me, (Get outta of my head!) Like a trenchcoat, Hold me underwater everyday, (Get outta of my bed!) And somehow I float, Targets in my brain, (Get outta of my head!) I never hit em like, A high note. Wanna get away somewhere, Only you and I know. It’s about to rain, So you wear me, Like a trenchcoat, Hold me underwater everyday, And somehow I float, Targets in my brain, I never hit em like, A high note.

Be it tonight or not forsaken, I was taken, I was shaken through. Shootin' the breeze was not worth fakin', But I'm mistaken, Stayin' next to you. Let's take a chance to be mistaken while we were shaken through. We we're both just by ourselves with nothing else to do, Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do. Let's take a chance to be mistaken while we were shaken through. We we're both just by ourselves with nothing else to do... Be it tonight or not forsaken, I was taken, I was shaken through. Maybe a chance is not worth takin', but I'm here stayin', Standin' next to you. Let's take a chance to be mistaken while we were shaken through. We we're both just by ourselves with nothing else to do, Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do. Nothing else to do Nothing else to do

about

meme (noun, /mēm/) - an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by non-genetic means, especially imitation.

This EP is part one of a two part epic inspired by the paintings of former President George W. Bush and L Ron Hubbard's Dianetics or whatever. Top Text is the beginning.

Big, if True Nashville, Tennessee

Formerly known as Paul McCartney and Buffalo Wings, our band starting playing and making music together in 2018.

Abandoning the meme format, we released our first full length album at the end of 2021. We continue to perform and make new music near Nashville, sorry we're not better. ... more
