Cycling around and I’m gonna lose it It’s never too late to know What I’m not supposed to show I’ve got the right to an answer Just like a wavelength you cannot hear And it won’t disappear The kind of stuff you just learn on the go I’ve got the right to an answer I couldn’t read it in a book (After this day’s over) I wanna hang out with my boys (We hope something happens) I wanna hang out with my boys (Come back, see us often) I wanna hang out with my boys (We hope to see you again) I wanna hang out with my I’m so lonely So lonely You couldn’t be better now Without what you were before It’s a matter of thoughts And they change you like drugs I’ve got the right to an answer I couldn't find a better hook (After this day’s over) I wanna hang out with my boys (We hope something happens) I wanna hang out with my boys (Come back, see us often) I gotta get out while I still have a choice (We hope to see you again) I wanna hang out with my (After this year’s over) I’m so lonely (We hope something happens) So lonely Boys.rtf (Wrinkling in time often) Germany to USA To the Psymon Spine spaceship (We hope to see you again) Can you hear us, Captain?

I’m sedimentary rock Absorbing me while I’m sedentary They said to stay home but I’m falling And I think my house is haunted There’s nobody to see If my imagination Has got the better of me I’m sinking I’m sentimentally wrought It’s crushing me My cemetery They said to stay home but I’m falling And I think my house is haunted (Ce qui est à toi Ce qui est à moi est à toi) There’s nobody to see If my imagination (Ce qui est à toi Ce qui est à moi est à toi) Has got the better of me I’m sinking deeper every minute Into my upholstery And I don’t know if I’ll ever Be able to leave Oh no My mind slows My bones grow old Calcification Anchored to the floor I’ve got to get out before I’m a decor Or it turns me into a piece of furniture A trophy Place me on the shelf We’re sedimentary rock They said to hang on but I’m falling

Be the Worm 02:56
Feels the same As it was Just a puddle on the floor Seeping under the door Be the worm Soak it up Eat the dead things and some living that have begun to rot So lie in it Take it in Mop it up Throw it out Be the worm Eat all the dead things that have begun to rot Yeah, break it down Break it down, break it down, break it down, break it down Eat all the dead things return underground (Eat it up) So flee the rain Or come undone (It’s time to return to the sun) You’ve gotta let a little light in or you’ll drown in the mud Be the worm (Have some fun) Stretch it out, you (You deserve) Some R n’ R You’re a star We love what you’ve done so far So lie in it Take it in Mop it up Throw it out Be the worm Eat all the dead things that have begun to rot Yeah break it down Break it down, break it down, break it down, break it down Eat all the dead things Return underground Be The Worm.rtf (We’ll throw it out) And if the trash keeps piling up We built our home on a pyre We reached to heaven and the stars but left our forests on fire We’ll go to war when it dries up and we’ve run out of water So I don’t know but like I think maybe it’s time we start over Be the worm! So eat it up Break it down So eat it up Turn it around The future is in your hands We already had our chance

Are you for real? Did you think I wouldn’t find my meal? Well, blessings to you I won’t give an ounce more than I have to do Growing up I was the Antimatter Kid If you think that I hadn’t thought of that perspective Rest assured that I notice everything Why does it feel Like everything keeps falling back to me? There was once a time When I would’ve done whatever you asked of me In your eyes I’m still the Antimatter Kid There’s still icing if you lick that platter, cut that chatter If you think that I don’t know what comes next You’re right But of course You’ve missed The point Streetwear droppings Flat back Wanna fly right Now there’s no chance It’s a known, it’s a known, it’s a known fact It’s a known, it’s a known, it’s a known, it’s a known Open toe shoes No tag Wanna get close Now there’s no chance It’s a known, it’s a known, it’s a known fact And in the end The fault is mine But there is no more The well is dry

I’m bored of guitar Full circle I’m bored of guitar Full circle Everywhere I look People just seem confused Waiting for an article to tell them what we do I’m bored of guitar The asymmetry We look like the yankees Everybody’s pointing the same way Dressed to depress Fuck’s sake do we know anyone left-handed I’m bored of guitar So cool it I’m bored of guitar So sue me I’m sick of it Did you just feel the switch Now we’re in the cloud Can’t get in the door So I strut my way around Future isn’t clear So I push those dreams back down Boredom is the symptom, the sickness is doubt If I tell the truth Might’ve lost the plot on the way I’m less in touch with my own heart than I ever have been (Could this be the end?) When I was a boy (I could not sit still) I dreamt my days all away and Now the dream is near And it might be here But it feels weird (Is this really it?)

Going for a dip in Ketamine Tot Tub Checking in line for the Ketamine Tot Tub Going up to bat for the Ketamine Tot Tub Ketamine Tot Tub I’m gonna take a nap in the Ketamine Tot Tub By the time I woke My legs were made of stone Everything felt funny My hair down to the bone Thought I heard a laugh Coming from the cold No way to escape the hot tub Going for a ride in Sertraline Hot Tub Biding my time in the Sertraline Hot Tub Everything’s fine in the Sertraline Hot Tub But I’m losing my mind in the Sertraline I know it’s time to leave But the wind pushed me back down It’s easy slipping into it It’s harder getting out My lungs went into shock I could not make a sound How can I escape the hot tub? When I pop you in my mouth I feel a twinge of regret And though I’m grateful for the peace you once brought me And the pain you helped me escape Someone’s getting rich off of my dependence So let me just clear the air While my stance may one day change I want you gone this time next year

So Far Away 02:51
There was a song about feeling good And another day at home The ocean didn’t want me today And I learned something valuable Unrested, we were tested And hit in the head Until we couldn’t think Even with no reasons left to be I just needed one to speak I’m so far away From anywhere possible So far away From anyone logical The system’s gonna eat your kids Blood in the hands of all the pigs The system is gonna make you a pet Rob you and tell you’re in debt Every single act of kindness counts Brief or intangible

Dance in the center Dance on the grid, oh Dance in the halo Dance on your head Parts of my libido can’t function without that need Flying back east where the story leaked Where I am dodging my commitments Cooking my beef Anywhere that we go Block the whole weekend off Don’t say we don’t try Say we don’t try A day’s a long time A long time What’s it gonna be, am I on your list? Am I stooping on down just to feel that kiss? Looking for the outs but they don’t exist No it’s gone and out They don’t exist Boiling it down to where it’s barely sex But I’m tense in the pelvis Tense in the head Suddenly I knew how the shoe really fit When you hit me and it felt nothing like a kiss And you’re the last one But still it begs the question Where would I have been without you in my life And there’s still no answer ’Til now there was no question Ah, a day’s a long time Do you want it back? Well we can’t go back And you’re the last one I’ve got a thousand questions But maybe it’d be better if we didn’t try And as the sun came up over smoke and rubble We looked around at the mess we’d made And thought ah, a day’s a long time A Day is a Long Time.rtf And we thought we’d found it Three things we’d always wanted Sex, balance, rest We laughed and cried And no we can’t go back now (Time flies by) The years fly by But a day’s a long time

Just dumped the monk Out of me foot bath Chip just came in for a drink But got confused and now he’s snoozing With the worms and losing body mass In the grass outside the tomb Which we used to call Which we used to call The neighbors’ yard Oh no Now we call it Nothing but forgotten Overgrown, broken And rotting from the inside out So it’s repurposed for the lifeless As a gateway for the righteous To ascend at last To ascend at last The dust and ash Will carry on So rest your head my friend And you’ll return As leaves and grass and ferns So reach towards the sun And burn To ascend at last

about

Head Body Connector is the third offering from Noah Prebish, Peter Spears, and Brother Michael Rudinski’s Psymon Spine project. It is a record that relishes in the heady, the psychedelic, the abstraction of temporality as we know it. Head Body Connector is a studio record from a band obsessed with production. It’s also a record that more so than any other Psymon release is interested in explicitly sounding live. It’s a guitar-forward album. Something that is ready-made to be performed. It features Liquid Liquid’s Dennis Young’s percussion and Angel Deradoorian (Dirty Projectors, FLYLO, The Roots) on backing vocals as well as long time collaborator Sabine Holler. Head Body Connector also saw the induction of two longtime friends of the band, drummer Zeb Stern and singer/guitarist Sarah Aument, both on tour and in the studio.

about

PSYMON SPINE New York

Fuzing psych pop and post-punk atop a bed of left-field dance grooves, Brooklyn experimental pop outfit Psymon Spine’s music is oozing with approachable melodic hugeness on first contact—but the places they take their songs is truly out there, exploring complicated feelings and catharsis through a singular approach to left-of-center electronic and dance sounds. ... more
