You don’t mind 17, 17 is Gold. He says he’ll do anything, anything for you. Looks like you’ve got one up on me one up on me for you know. Looks like you’ve got one up on me one up on me for sure. You don’t mind back and forth , back and forth is good. You don’t mind playing games, playing games is good. Looks like you’ve got one up on me one up on me you know. Looks like you’ve got one up on me, one up on me for sure.

B.A.C. 03:28
Behind a curtain, lies my wrong and I face some evils alone. I wake up, I realize that I was wrong and I try in vain to make it right. But she sits, but she sighs, but then she looks into my eyes and a truth appears that I could not bare. It’s Understood, It’s so understood, what your trying to say. It’s understood it’s so understood what your trying to say to me with no words. Down in a basement I came to grips with fear, reality…it was not right. I chalk it up to false pretense, nervousness, it was my downfall. And I try.

Charlie Hanks was a good man, kidnapped by the bank of the river. Said he was married but that would not last for too much longer, the only thing holding me back is this God forsaken tumor, Charlie Hanks was a good man. They lied to him to get him here they lied to him to get him here. I got someone working on these felonies against me baby you can’t keep me here against my will I’m going home I know that she is in it with you and you are collaberating against me their all against me baby they are all against me.

Call You 04:53
– He packed his bags in the morning, he said I am going nowhere, I’m not sure how that I got here but I’ll call you when I get there. And he knows she’s been a little unfaithfull, but he sees that she still loves him, so he makes room in the car for her picture, leaves a note on the table. And it says…”I know this might sound strange my dear, but let me tell you about all my feelings, I’m not sure how that I got here but I’ll call you when I get there. Cause you know I take a little love and a little pain, I take a little love love love with my pain. I take a little Pain, I take a little love I take a little love love love with my pain. She packed her bags in the evening, she said I am going nowhere, I’m not sure where here is but I’ll call you when I get there. And she knows shes been a little unfaithfull, but she knows that she still loves him, so she makes room in the car for his picture and she soon will see him. And she reads it..”I know it sounds strange my dear, but let me tell you about my feelings”… Oh God how I still love that man and I’ll see him when I get there. We all take a little love, and a little pain, I take a little love love love with my pain. I take a little Pain and a little love, I take a little love love love with my pain.

– She rolls up her sleeves, she puts on her chains and heads for the door. She don’t want the pain, just a good time, nothing more. Monkeydrivenme you have your flame this I have seen and it does not include anything to do with me. She holds up her hand, she kiss it goodbye, leaves in the day. And when he gets home all he will find is a not on the table.
6.
– Guess I’m foolish, guess I’m stupid, guess I’m something more than your used too, I guess I’m open oh yes I’m gorgeous but maybe little acne infested. Oh yes I’m worthless oh yes I’m useless, yes I’m gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous I’m gone I am home, I am gone I am home, I’m back home. I’ll fire all my guns with my shoes off it won’t make it complicated if it doesn’t infect your mind. I’ll end up somewhere pure in a church with men…men who throw the first stone baby knocking down my door. They say I’m cynical, they say I’m empty, they say my whiskey bottles will come back to haunt me. But I’m a little bit older now I’m a little bit colder still, I’m a little bit over it over it over it. You stupid bastard can’t you see, if it’s not you and it’s not him, if its not you and its not him then it must be me, it must be me, it must be me so I will leave now. I’ll throw the first stone. I’ll throw the first stone baby will that make it easy baby, I’ll throw the first stone will not complicate it, I’ll throw the first stone will that make it easy for you?

Half Taken 04:47
– How many more times will you drive home half take? And how big must my balls be before I am faking it? And how many more times will I dance with a girl who I think is the Devil come back to my world. How many more times will I lose my calm Annie, and how many more times will you run out half naked, and how long before you can’t take anymore and you leave me alone where you found me before. Hey, I want to tell you again I want to tell you again where I lye, next to your heart where the roses don’t grow, where the roses don’t grow you will find me, And I take my advise from a bulletin board, it’s painted in brown by the freeway, Hey you look good being normal you look good situated beside me.

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.

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.

– Mr. Kauffmen can you help me find, a way to honor your dead name, cause I was in New Orleans just last night, and man I tell you it just wasn’t the same. I got a job related too almost nothing I do, and it stayed that way for about a year, I took my woman to the edge of everything I fear, and don’t you know she spit it back in my face. But I built this to be brave, 10 times my spine, I built it cunning cunning unafraid radiant devine, I built it in a likness of a clever friend in mind, I built it so cold-hearted you wouldn’t know, I built it to be evil when evil was the key, I built it good good good when good need be, and oh how I cried when my soldiers skin died Mr. Kauffmen can’t you hear me cry. So I spent some time in cranston swallowing my pride, spent some time with my face to the door. I led the life of grandsons and unemployment lines, still I’m not sure what this world has in store for me. I will meet you on the Florida Alabama line where the ocean meets the white sand. We could die happier knowing things aren’t right, we could die happier saying.CHORUS

This is the song that I cannot feel This is the song that I cannot feel It is a wound that I could not heal it is a wound that I could not heal. This is the song that I could not grow it is the song that I just don’t know It was a time that I could not show all my feelings that I know. This is the song that I cannot feel This is the song that I cannot feel It is a wound that I could not heal it is a wound that I could not heal. But I keep it light for the crowd, I don’t mean to get mean and loud I never meant to be a big asshole I just seem to wear it well like a favorite shirt. I’m writing letters back to my home I let them know that things have gone all wrong and now she’s dancing all over my toes and now she’s dancing all over my toes I talk back and she break my nose she says her daddy taught her how to box. Well I think this went over my head, I think that I lost control.

Hey I’m a child of love, I wouldn’t try to fade it and though I have seen a great deal, I think it might be overated, seems I have gone out of control with these self-polluting angels, seems I have blown up these days, I wonder how long I can take it. Hey I envision myself in a field alone and unchallenged, and although I know that this place isn’t real, it still kinda feels like heaven. And although our friendship it means a great deal to me that doesn’t give you the right too bathe in my blood after every meal, you have been gone a long time. And I’m alone for the first time in my life they have all given up on anything I might consider my own point of view. This is Lean Easy Entertainment coming through, I am justified, justified whatever I do.

about

This album was recorded at a small house on County Line Rd. in the country outside of Urbana Ohio. It was recorded with a Shure SM58 plugged directly into the sound board of a PC. The quality is pretty lo-fi. This marks the first time Kameko Jennings experimented with lo-fi production, home recording, and drum loops as a viable way to make Suicide Seven recordings.

The idea behind this record was to make something that sounded like a guy recording some music in his basement. It was meant to be experimental and demo- like. It is the third Suicide Seven release.
