Incubate 1: i don't know​/​i'm tired

by Justice Eats Trees

1.
i don't know.... i'm tired
2.
Is the moon embarrassed when I catch it lazing about at the dawn- Sitting, sulking, swollen over someone's lawn? Or does it think me the asshole 'cuz I care- Belligerent, bored, bent bitter at that beyond my air? Am I late already? Is it Tuesday yet? Am I late already? And what did I forget? I don't know... I'm tired

4.
All my dreams- All my happy nightmares The lake is vast- Hands and eyes Monet into each other... Are stoves no fly- Just because burnt before? There is a fire- I am here and I know- I'm so terrified that I stay inside- Guarding or you'll neuter this in 6 months- When probably I'll kill it in 3- I just... I just... I don't know... I'll just be the lillies for now...? Yeah.
5.
Il se lève avec les cuillères mais il tombe avec tes cerfs glitter l'estomac est un outil mais le coeur est un act vil du cerveau... (I don't know... my death anxiety these days seems to make it impossible for me to drive to work without bursting into tears or pulling into a parking lot shaking for twenty minutes)
6.
Man, I never met you and truth be told, I really don't know you, but what you did made days feel special- and moments bright with a levity and hope I haven't known in years. I don't know... I'm tired, but losing you reminds me of all that I've lost and will keep losing- and it sucks, but that's life...?
7.
And day to day we watch the sparkle fade- our friends fall apart, move far away, and lose their "je ne sais". As we watch their non-chemical dependencies take hold, we cling to each other; and I fear that I'm too old. But.... In spite of everything, I still believe- that even though each day I... I do grieve, that I've still got something, something up my sleeve, and there's something left that we can achieve! (we can still have a great time- together! Right?)

about

this is basically an album made in two days.
I always bail on my solo RPM projects because I build them up in my head and then cannot make my ideas happen in time; with this album, I just made some songs out of my immediate thoughts with a pretty limited palette.
I did not use my usual sequencing ways (making complex drums and instrumentals in FL Studio)- everything you hear was played by my hands or a cheap Casio keyboard.... or Jacob. I don't know if that's relevant to you, but it resulted in a pretty different album then what would have happened otherwise
This should also be called "Leitmotif: The Album". Just a thought.

credits

released March 3, 2015

Justice plays all the instruments (mostly an alpha Juno-2 and a six string ukulele, but also other keyboards) and sings.
Except for clarinet (featured in tracks 3, 4, and 8), which is played by my sweet prince Jacob Moore.
