Discovery 03:27
lyrics
Took a shot to the head When you said I love your wife and kid Didn’t know what you meant But now I think I know Now I think I know Took a sunny day And poured the rain Over my head Didn’t know what to say But now I think I know Now I think I know These days I am not so blind Confined to being wiser These days I don’t really shine anymore I don’t shine the way I used to… I tell you man these bottles and cans these bottles and cans their killing me I will not lie I can’t deny I kind of like it I kind of like it…Oh hell I love it -CHORUS-

Oblivion 02:02
lyrics
Oceans breaking the shore Breaking my neck Just like before Oceans coming again Bottles and cans I got my bottle in hand She’s got her helmet in line Waiting on time To do it again She never waits for a thing Steady keeping me clean To do it again

Basic 02:56
lyrics
You come out of basements You right all the wrongs you did You regret enough of the things You can’t seem to forget Ah Oh you have the best intentions in mind Life is simple don’t complicate it tonight I understand you now This will all grow basic somehow Black equals night equals I am in the dark again Sun equals light equals I have something more to give I write the basics down So that I might comprehend them somehow And you know Inside my mind still feels tight So we can argue all night I regret enough of the things I can’t seem to get right Ah Oh you have the best intentions in mind Life is simple don’t complicate it tonight Because you see I understand you now This will all grow basic somehow Black equals night equals I am in the dark again Sun equals light equals I have something more to give I write the basics down So that I might comprehend them somehow

The Preacher 03:23
lyrics
I want to paint clean my self-righteous mood My self-righteous mood all the way down I want to paint clean my self-righteous mood My self-righteous mood all the way down down down down down Shoot a hole through your belly is what I’ll do Through your belly is what I’ll do Let your cries and screams pull me through Shoot a hole through your belly is what I’ll do Through your belly is what I’ll do Let your cries and screams pull me through it… It’s getting harder to tell It’s getting harder to tell Shades of grey from the light It’s getting harder to tell It’s getting harder to tell Shades of grey from my brilliant sunshine Blood spills over wishing wells She dreams complacence it’s so disarming I want to fall Baby let the preacher fall Crumble off my soapbox Back against the wall It’s getting harder to tell It’s getting harder to tell Shades of grey from the light It’s getting harder to tell It’s getting harder to tell Shades of grey from my brilliant sunshine

Mistress Lady 03:50
lyrics
Brought it down, you fooled around, and you faced those demons well, but it goes, even heroes lose even angels cross that line, fortune folds and my dear you are not getting any younger by him, and by her, I have learned to sink I have learned to kick ladders in. Said I’m strange, you said I’m strange as you turned, walked away, I am strange, I guess I’m strange in my unswaying personality. I have been more fucked up than you think this crisis that begins, it’s coming from my heart. Don’t relate to me because I’ve been wrong before, Don’t relate to me, God knows I’ve been wrong before, but it aint right, it’s not right, I don’t care what you say, isn’t right, is not right, It’s not right the way that you have done me.

Friends 03:33
lyrics
Then I made some friends Some good friends to redefine me We hung out late So late it was close to empty I read between the lines I turned everything around I read between the lines I turned everything upside down So I made more friends They were not as good but they were there when I needed Them to talk me down Down from the roof from the roof That I happened to be on From the roof from the roof that I happened to Call my home And I don’t want to be ugly anymore Sick of my face and I’m sick of this story Sick people rule the world I don’t want to be ugly anymore Your running around in your newfound glory Hope your happy in your newfound love So ugh… Then I let her down I told her I’d be back but I stayed gone She wouldn’t understand Man it was all I could do just to hold on She met another man Started up again with him They had some good looking kids It was all I could do just to bare it.

Steaming Pile 03:02
lyrics
All my love is overgrown, it’s wasted on the microphones and the strangers that clap their hands, they clap their hands they clap clap their hands, and my ego is a maniac, it’s crushing my bones and it’s taking my heart and soul for a ride. And I tell her this and I tell her that but still she says Kam I don’t know, It’s always “three steps back and a bottle of love will get you nowhere get you nowhere for sure tonight”. Oh and I tried so hard to tell her that my whole life for a while was steaming pile, and I got through it, oh baby I think I made it through but my whole life for a while was nothing more than steaming pile.

Best Of Me 02:30
lyrics
Don’t be surprised that you’re my anchor Would you want something better You give me a loaded gun You give me a loaded gun, insane And you know I’ll give you my best Give you my best Kurt Cobain Got a letter in the mail today T was more or less sympathy It said I see your still hung up on April Tired of showers had your fill of winter ghosts and doubt But I am halfway Halfway through the month of May
9.
God's Will 03:33
lyrics
So I took my time Fear drove me back Out of my mind And I never looked back Just pick up your keys and drive It’s like magic Time pass me by And I am the past Fading faster in my lies She said pick up your keys and drive We all die alone My son this I have known for a long long time As I watch you grow out of my control I see you suffer God’s will
10.
Danger Passion Danger 02:51
lyrics
You’ve got some passion You’ve got some reasons to live besides me You’ve got so much more to give to this world So when she says That I am a black hole Swallowing up everything that I see I think that it’s true I think that I need this control with you And you are willing to give it to me So when she says That I am a black hole Swallowing up everything that I see I think that it’s true I’m in it for the danger I’m in it for the lack of confidence So come here stranger Just call me the fucking evidence And when you see me calling “please don’t go” You know I might not be in love But I don’t want to be alone. I’m in it for the danger.
11.
The Optimist 02:45
lyrics
I will shift all the plants that I planted I will move all the things I take for granted I will learn to love I will learn to love Take this black heart of mine and rise above I will take back the bad things I said I will clean the lies out of my head I will learn to love I will learn to love Take this black heart of mine and rise above Change these pessimistic ways Is it realistic to think infirmity all day I will I will learn to love I will learn to love Take this black heart of mine and rise above I will knock knock knock down your door Let you know that I have changed You don’t need to leave. I will learn to love I will learn to love Take this black heart of mine and rise above Change these pessimistic ways Is it realistic to think infirmity all day It won’t be long it won’t be long
12.
Breaking The Promise 04:20
lyrics
I say no and you say yes You tell me that I’m lying Want to put me to the test But it’s hard to tell the truth and it’s hard to be my best baby Tell me that you thought I was better than the man who Bows his head before you and apologizes again But you know that I am failing and that’s what I’ve always been Baby They say it’s in the genes They say it’s running in the family They say it’s in my blood They say it’s in the genes but as for me As for me I think it’s too much blood on my hands I try to wash it off but it’s pissing in the wind And I’m holding to my story But she’s still coming in baby They say it’s in the genes They say it’s running in the family They say it’s in my blood They say it’s in the genes but as for me As for me I think it’s shake shake shake This whole world around I will build my tower up and I will tear that fucker down And when she calls me a bastard I will come unto my crown Baby They say it’s in the genes They say it’s running in the family They say it’s in my blood They say it’s in the genes but as for me As for me You know I think it’s true I think it’s true No one breaks this promise No one breaks this promise like I do.

about

The Clean LP was recorded at Saba Recording Studios
In Medway, OH. on the 21st of August 2003. It was recorded in the evening over a period of about 5 hours. Old house, dark basement, a great condensor mic, Kam and his acoustic guitar.

This record came together pretty randomly actually. The idea was to try out a new studio and kind of get a feel for the engineer. A sort of "practice run" if you will. Kameko was looking for a place to record a demo for a band he was in at the time called "Cleetis and the DGG". He later ended up leaving that band to explore other options.
