cancel all the debt watch em all turn red get em out its not an easy task for anyone to ask you any questions pin it to the wall tracking every head let it out the water in the hall the number i cant call aiming tall how?
2.
lony 02:47
lonely such a mocking word only one of you staring down two and watching as they scatter like suddenly it doesnt matter a flurry like a solar flare categorising individual hairs something in the dark and then you're the one thats left behind again living under water is sure to make you taller cuz all the pressure does is spring you up again and maybe in a side view you and I is only you but i am having trouble getting off the train
3.
i am climbing it i havent made it yet dissapointing message i admit but at least im telling it tenner down four to go the faster we run the quicker they slow criminally hypnotic wallpaper it is haunting me the sheer exposure is astounding i'm surprised its not imprinted on me id settle down for a mo if there was a place i could go up there
4.
world weary 02:58
world weary i do roam instead of hurling my phone at the nearest billboard I dont need either anymore cuz its a lonely world out there its cool to admit you're scared and get your handle bars get your oxygen mask get your sea legs get your after party get your throw away battery get your rising sea have your free air have no cares nothing is coming for you no matter what you do your house will be safe all your things will be safe your life will be great you wont even have to wait its a lonely world out there

halogen glow 05:14
if i had stopped to ask you how many miles we've tangled with if ever there was a time to ask it its riding thin then you go bye bye and then miss your fly by and soon you'll give another one in maybe give it a spin if you had stopped to ask me which way to go from here if you had stopped leading you'd know how to give in now you don't know me and true I gave a little too much how long did you stop by? noone knows but I i was the only the eye halogen glow where did you run to? a rapid freeze only two feet above you
6.
flintlocked can't stop im on my way to being in person today hop off this thought vehicle wondering if to you i was even real handled held up running to the field that takes you back coded challenges hiding in the fish plates that broke the track
7.
i could use a whim a midnight ocean swim cuz i can't give it all to boundless open sprawl i'm never gonna win or speedrun every sin where to go from here? to hope or cosmic fear? its better just to stoop your victories are moot cuz in the end for what? you already got got? i beg i beg only you pure absolute drivel this is the first time i have tried anything accapella and i only included it because i think its fucking funny
8.
stop looking 01:52
no wonder everyones so tense here the colour film is so expensive im giving that and taking headway for another pointless foray living it down wearing my frown that's just how I look i guess to you like a shmuck oh no im selling time now understaffed and overbooking if i had another option i'd still be locked in indecision looking spry craning for a look
9.
have you ever thought about? i have rummaging around the back of my head something isnt right if i question it its better off left alone maybe one day i can settle it give in to the slow but infinite drip maybe it if i try i can capture it maybe or maybe not how about measurements? or anything? cuz i'm around anyway? what a fucking mess of wires aren't you also tired?
10.
heres the guy slick little suit and tie then i came around ( I stare) someone else had taken my ground (not fair) watch him say goodbye to every yuppie in the aisle then he sold the lot (good job) hope that it doesnt rot (or not)
11.
i know that i know i should know but I don't I know that I don't i know that i see i should see but I don't they say eyes front i know that i've had my three free bluffs but I need three more cuz I don't know what part i live in
12.

13.
laura 02:03

14.
found a broken o-ring im gonna teach it how to sing sold me a broken air filter this place is covered in litter and i can't see out of my portside window and i can't read any of the signs on the walk home someone shoulda told me how it goes cuz as far as i can tell i still don't know
15.
falling 02:02
you've got a small while after the turnstile to dip in the alley after they catch me follow the roadside all the way inside your clothes in the washer then leap from the top floor
16.
too soon to leave the room the moon reads the room silly me silly assumption we could be human beings at the end of the street silly read silly assumption you would be one of one on a page from a tree
17.
shut down all your factories privacy is real to me! get your hands off of my piece its called rinse your hands of agency leave behind what you believe everything you could ever need at no upfront cost little jabs you throw at me anything but a pandering spree im like you please look at me! or not see how i can breath like you! anything to avoid a suit oh ill dream of peace from you a charm

23.
one extreme to the other in a fray flash between every hour of the day and noone noone is home noone noone is home crash between the break in outward light an open wound also closed too tight and noone noone is home noone noone is home and its night
24.
settle down chicken wing! big old house you live within bathroom gnome hairstyle queen every year the same tree lean all around the hall you dance nobody even stood a chance no chance
25.
folding and happening over and over and fielding for a new try bolder and wrapped up in envy nobody can see me forward we hide step up a warm settled end now a weeping but final bow the end of the road believe me i'm inside the greenhouse and noone can see me noone but hey! a person a whole entire person drifts right across into beyond
26.
i'm supposed to tell you? aren't i supposed to know too? leave it alone i ask you you're swinging my head leave it alone im turning blue and soon i'll be dead i see how it changes gravity explains this leave it alone she said i wanna go to bed leave it alone unsupervised the smartest thing you've said
27.
ode to an aimless moon - the wandering moon always rises too soon all his friends wrap around while he skims the ground and when the light goes behind all of a sudden realise centrifugal we spread out like ants into all of the greener plants
28.
read tough read up on your politics eat up give in to the endless buffet every word lined out in coffee they talk they walk in the toffee

"the puppet is tired of dancing" "urges aide for depressed" "a deadly scoop" "a final silence" "a station first" christine has sent you a message bold straight and clear it's written all over your business in crimson smear and after your shock subsided how you all turned elastic in your spirit just like she said you love it.
31.
lounging in the back seat clicking my tongue every car that passes me has done me wrong in a way in my journal i write frantically how do people feign insight ask a question get a whole study abstract speak fast, speak lots it won't change your height or maybe it might
32.
somethings not right i've noticed it every night birds fly into traffic and nobody cleans it something about im losing it and the guy next to me knows it a statue four hours i'm sorry guy if i freaked you out truth is the whole time i was tight tightly controlled holding back an overload pow! like you have never seen beaming out of the seams
33.
he alien 02:44
bold of you to assume that I'm as fluid as you it'd be funny if it weren't so sad it'd be sad if it weren't so funny you all look i feel like someone just found me one day lying on the side of the road or maybe at the mouth of a bay cuz i feel like i should feel like you but i don't not a condescension I'm just from another boat
34.
happening 01:18

39.
life in boxes is not as toxic as you might think its not a metaphor or a place you find yourself its your modus vivendi and sam says i'm in a box my feet will not allow me to walk hair of the dog and a sinking sailboat lie get out son take your mind off the coast and sam says he's in a box his mouth doesn't move when he talks

auburn light 02:40
strolled though a weeping night roam across the auburn light someone take my head and roll and someones in the back embracing modern while someone next door loses their children they have seen enough they are calling bluffs on every intersection gold or yellow bright proximity or vicious spite while david wrings his hair out angela holds the water spout but in the room they're different, that's right the change is almost instant, like light this switch has far too many positions we should keep our distance

about

this is where the demos come to die and be remembered forever.

when it hits 50 tracks it seals like a flash freezing defense mechanism from predators and will be succeeded by demo dump 2, a much weaker animal that will be totally alone in a cruel ecosystem without the support of its parental figure, the previous demo dump, and it will have to fend for itself for a while, this is unfortunately just the way nature works and demo dumps have evolved to learn to deal with it, i do not feel guilty about it.

update: this demo dump is now locked in, no going back, frozen. i'm okay with it, I am at peace with it, I am, i am fine with it.
