Eviction 01:30

when your eyes look inside it makes you tired to look at that sleep it off you still think when you sleep to top it off the dreams are there to keep get past 1095 four more days just another day it will pass talk to fires alone stars in the grass hold matters at home can you back it as it changes stone the bear in different phases to be judged in mold fold it up keep it cold way it down but don't let it sink one more month to have time to think to be judged in the mold fold it up keep it cold 1095 four more days just another day

i'm waiting for something to happen and i'm waiting for something to start and i didn't want it here and i didn't want the miles break my heart and i'm watching the cattle walk backwards and i'm seeing them drown one by one and i didn't ask for your voice to get louder when i thought i strayed for the better and we won't be that lucky no we won't be that lucky and i wish i had my own secret to keep but i wont be that lucky what's there to fall back on what's there to fail me now and the hills don't seem to call me when my eyes are set on level ground and we won't be that lucky no we won't be that lucky and i wish i had my own secret to keep but i won't be that lucky and i wish i had my secret to keep but i won't be that lucky

there's not one action you can back there's not one time i said i was here for you but the mirrors that surround your body talk so you can't hear what others have to say what others want today and how can you point your finger when you can't even raise it for yourself keep those crutches all your life hold them close and hold on tight as you swing from one hand to the next to keep a float in what you thought was your own mind and nothing seems to change and nothing seems to change and nothing will ever change when your enabled by the opposite with a free ride and nothing seems to change (x11) and nothing will ever change

Tempera 04:38
i never understood the mean of backing down but now i know to always listen to myself educate me twice fragilely and segregate me from the burning trees and dying lands drive and drive for hours to find an empty heart when you knew there's nothing to even make a start it's not pretty anymore it's not pretty anymore kick the speakers that keep making that ugly sound from the one who always sticks around educate me twice fragilely and segregate me from the burning trees and dying lands everything is full circle when you are near with butterflies and all night drives and everything i want to hear it's not pretty anymore it's not pretty anymore
6.
well you count me in to shut me out of the lives we seem to build and we'll turn the bend to turn our backs and fade myself respect and i need to learn to think in numbers and graphs and you count me out to shut me in of this home we tried to make we tried to build we tried to dream now i see my friends look more like me when i never leave my head and we can break it down anyway you want to but the cloud it sleeps in me and i need to learn to think in numbers and graphs and you can count me out to shut me in of this home we tried to make we tried to build we tried to dream

Federated 04:05
send the message and i'll let it be keep you eyes attached on seventeen maybe you will make your way out of it take the pill to drown your every need wash it down so the haze will feed on things you never really wanted we'll watch it work the master plan as it's thinning you are growing into the flies that lost directions that gained infections it's your own affliction the silent crowd will see through your skin the only threat is where you've been the only person that you scare is yourself hold it back the building has collapsed refurbish your only weak attack you'll never hurt me with all your hurting we''ll watch it work the master plan as it's thinning your are growing into the flies that lost directions that gained infections it's your own affliction

909 Garden 06:49
the shelters wrong we'll keep it awake we'll keep it moving and the floors are strong to keep it hating the way of working we'll never change the scenery it shines when it's green and i live be underneath what is pretty and redeemed the shelter failed to hold the mistake to breath and repeat and the floors are shot to hold up nothing to keep it bleeding we'll never change the scenery it shines when it's green and i live to be underneath what is pretty and redeemed reverse no one it stays inside me reverse no one it grows within me Moving foward will only work in circles and working circles will only push you backwards as you tried and tried and tried again you see you can't do this on your own
9.
stretch the roads through days and night catch the raven locked in flight we cannot stop so we fill the tank as flies still move from the riverbank and try to dream to be seen no more as bloody feet still skip the floor and mouths react in liquid form to cardboard cutouts that are yours and drinks that make the eyes react with spikes and pains all down your back in a home where all the walls have cracked we'll watch this town roll over us today the seed is there under the sleeve with carvings to remember and feed a mind that runs on forgotten fumes to leave you only in empty rooms and drinks that make the eyes react with spikes and pains all down your back in a home where all the walls have cracked we'll watch this town roll over us today and offspring can't seem to help your tunneled sight you might dream in color but you live in black and white now no more chances because four wrongs don't ever make it right i won't let this town roll over us tonight
10.
it all seems so quiet when the night calls your name out (x3) it all seems so quiet when the night kills that sound it all looks so easy when your standing at the roadside (x3) it all looks so easy when the day seems to die it all seems so simple to leave the gun lying around (x3) it all seems so simple to leave it so it can't be found it all looks so clear from the bottom of the salt mine (x3) it all looks so clear the road is long it might seem right when it's wrong with complicated aggravated songs it wont be around for long
11.
comfort will come in the movies and seasons will bleed on their knees and i know we will watch from the streets cameras have held all the soilders whos souls turn black while they sleep and i know we will watch from the streets can you take what you've earned and give to burn all your dreams which you need to sleep days will grow for the better and shields will rise to their feet and i know we will watch from the streets can you take what you've earned and give to burn all your dreams which you need to sleep all your dreams which will have no defeat
12.
Shadowbox 04:25
buy the rights with pedals pressed and never showing the turtles mask and playing safely with swards to the chest and hazel vision to do the rest sell the night when wheels are square for the one who covers your air and never know what to expect from the one who has broken your neck looking out of the shadowbox with stunted growths and frozen clocks and painted faliures that never stop and breaking rhythms and cutting knots i'm alright i've learned to die without the arm that was in my side and more than once to keep track of sticking the knife in my (our) back
13.
if we win it will be tomorrow if we lose it will be today can you keep it in only for a minute can you keep it out, out of my head and you'll fabricate all the lives your living and you'll emulate what keeps the future red cause we took it in as it grows bigger and i'm sick to death i'm sick to death (x11) what does it all mean keep you mind clean of made up dreams that seem to find me and what does it all mean keep your mind clean of made up dreams that seem to find me when i'm sick to death i'm sick to death i'm sick to death i'm sick to death

about

"Kid Mud was Sean Duncan, an indie rock vet formerly of Fiver, but with the release of full length debut Now They Shut Us Down Kid Mud has seemingly morphed beyond 'one man band' status into something larger than the sum of its parts. Early Kid Mud recordings were solo efforts, with Duncan playing each and every instrument like some sort of YouTube rockstar. This latest effort, however, was also partly recorded at Mountain Ghost, allowing Duncan the ability to not only incorporate a richer, lusher sound with more varied instrumentation (both electronic and live), but a diverse range of artists including his own sister Shannon, who sings backup on several tracks." -Online Rock
