i sing (demo)

i sing for a reason
my reason’s the same
as the nurses buying rentals
and rides to broadway
who fill up big bars on buses
and fall off shitfaced
and the trained men who clock in
coming back from smoke breaks
who zoom in from satellites
to bomb palisades
and the ancients swinging hammers
alive for only decades
building the outer walls of temples
they’d never see complete
and the college kids wasting time
driving vans between states
spending parents’ inheritance
to be heard from a stage
i sing ‘cos i wake up
again and again
it never stops coming
it doesn’t make sense

how (demo)

so deep and dark the dip
so high the high behind
you might be convinced
that this has been your whole life
and this is how
how it’s gonna be now
no it’s not
i’ve been here before
i know where i am
i know where’s the door
each time further down
this hall in my mind
‘til i dead end, convinced
this has been my whole life
and this is how
how it’s gonna be now

challenger (demo)

loved snow til you realized it’s
rain that sticks to the ground
the weight prix fixe of consciousness
does not fuck around
and i’m overeating constantly
like it’s the only joy in life
course by course, it comes along
til the bill that ends the night
i see why you keep your
habits all unchanged
if trying you start, then
trying you’ll have to stay
i can’t say that i blame you much
though i’m a challenger myself
sometimes it can be rewarding
most nights it gives me hell
can’t afford your imagination
but i can make my rent
pay down my expectations
and have a fund for accidents
can’t decide if we can work it out
or it’s a crucial difference
when there’s extra, you think possibility
i think, “what can we prevent?”
you see why i keep my
habits all unchanged
if trying i start, then
trying i’ll have to stay
i’m tired, can you blame me?
you look a little tired yourself
most days we both just laugh it off
some nights it gives you hell

birthday (demo)

birthday, 2014
bus from georgia to tennessee
a plan on which we’d both agreed
catch a little sleep
on michael’s couch
in the morning she calls me out
a half day’s leave
from the summer job
where she’d teach
have breakfast out
in some cafe
where the conversation strained
here and so soon gone away --
not much to say.
she drops me off
south of town
two miles from where i live now
i turned 21 waiting around
when just then a kid
on his bike
rolls up to my side
and asks if i can spare a five
i say “alright”
and give him ten
i turn to walk away and then
he says “thanks,
it’s my birthday"

best witness (demo)
02:49

is it harder to find a friend now?
or is it harder just to find
friends like i have known them
thus far in my life
‘cos out here
i care for me best
out here
i’m my best witness
when you’ve known how good it can be
when you’ve seen how good it gets
what isn’t and what cannot be
won’t let me forget
out here
i have lived with less
out here
i’m my best witness
sweet brother, can i call you?
i’m not doing well
can you state the obvious?
will you say you love me still?
‘cos out here
i’m my only friend
out here
i’m my best witness

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 11 fans who also own “LP4 DEMOS”
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too.
