I can see it written on your face: Nothing stops you from quitting The Race And I can think But never really contemplate And I can Form But never really deteriorate Have you finally found your place? Have you finally found your place? Sleep tight (sometime) Sleep tight (sometime) Sleep tight (sometime) Sleep tight (sometime)

When the sky is all membrane and it's clear i'm sincerely insane Your eyes are wallflowers in my brain they can't feel any pain... Every time you come around i just get frightened by the thought that you think i'm just enlightened But it's not so easy to be brightened Right then... Every time you come around I just get haunted at the thought of thinking that you're wanted But if you would just let me in-- I'm Guilty Every time you come around I just get frightened by the thought that you think I'm just enlightened But it's not so easy to be brightened Right then... Every time you come around I just get bored Every time you come around I just get haunted Every time you come around I just get bored Every time you come around I just get haunted Haunted Haunted Haunted haunted

If there's a sun, I'm in the shade If you've a question, I'll be the Blade that cuts your Answers from the tree It wasn't me instilling this need Me, i've got to be Free To feed this Curiosity that won't quit scratching my knees I tried to give myself more sunlight But the outside world just didn't feel right. But I'll never be ashamed When I remember our jungle games-- How our talking could ventilate in the cold, cold shimmering shade And the watery lemonade-- Both our futures had taken the blade. Don't you wish that you would've stayed? Things will never be the same...

It's Blood 03:07
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Do you fight for the Kobra-Kai? Yeah Yeah YeahYeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah, You wonder why-- It's so easy to forget All the secrets that you kept All the alibis you spun Pretend it's all a game sympathize with no one The world is so tame Don't let the Fascists think you're a no-one Come on! Violent concierto! Umberto! Somnambulos! silence. your highness lay covered in diamonds of blood it's blood...

Turn the Page, Disengage! I'll waste away all your Life. Turn the Page, Disengage! What you know about Yourself, What you've discovered about Yourself. It's not a Tendered Situation It's such a Tender situation it's a chemical reaction it's a Miracle from Satan those miracles keep floating on by gravitating in ways they've dare not tried that'll be my final goodbye that'll be my final goodbye. that'll be my final goodbye that'll be my final goodbye...

Jasho & Heinrich smiling, inspiring Silence floating in silence Mary-Ann in her wedding dress Stuck inside a picture frame You cannot hide You cannot hide You cannot hide from what you can't explain From what your tongue cannot explain From what your tongue cannot explain

If you could only see What you're trying not to see If you could only see What your body won't let you see It's so insane to be playing hopscotch with you In a garden full of roses and John Lennon too Dean Moriarty it's a party I wanna dance with you I'm just a greener You're just a dreamer We'll just wait and see But where did tomorrow go? What will tomorrow know? Where did tomorrow go? What will tomorrow know that's different from today? What's different from today? What's different from today? What's different from today? Someone's yet to tell me give me an answer...

Providentsia 01:35
When everything comes in, I lose control Was there something I misunderstood About stooping so low You think you can take it in You might as well But If only I'm itching again Then ring my bells Did you sleep so well If you drink so well Only time will tell You've got all the time in the world You've got all the time in the world You've got all the time in the world You've got all the time in the world You've got all the time in the world It's an illusion It's an illusion It's an illusion It's a conclusion It's your contusion

Don't Belong 02:09
A sing-a-long for those that don't belong

You take a lot of my mind You use a lot of my time I slit you I'll sniff you away Cause you know how I feel about the News And i'll die one more time if one more person don't agree I kiss you I snort you you feel so good so good in my mien, i'm not the one laughing i'm the one who had the plan you see it here whiter than the moon you see it comes in a good sized bag

I don't see how you couldn't find a better way out I don't know what I think I'm not sure that I know what it's all about You've got insects in your brain Harmonizing John Coltrane modern physics cannot even explain the trouble that your body brings to think it's all a game to know it's all a game tell me that you wanna have fun tell me that you wanna shoot guns tell me that you're on the run and just ready, aim, fire-- nab the cops right off our tires

Blind Spots 02:30
i can see why you might think that i'm so strange --it's a game i don't see how you prefer living in this cage --such a shame... what's your strategy what's your social security what's your scariest dream what's your fantasy? pussy cat is bound to catch the wounded fly --watch her try when will we realize that she's ashamed just to survive --besides being shy it's a station it's a system it's a worldwide revelation with no conclusion...

about

recorded at 1537 Chestnut st. in bowling green, KY August-December 2013
mixed in Louisville December 2013

The name "Blind Spots of the Mind" is borrowed from Siegfried Kracauer's essay "The Establishment of Physical Existence" (1960)

"...things normally unseen consist of
phenomena which figure among the blind spots of the mind; habit and
prejudice prevent us from noticing them."
