1.	the world is a beautiful place but that doesn't change anything about the way that i feel 01:16	lyrics
i’m sorry i wasn’t there with you in the end i have too many things to say now that it’s too late i want you back for heaven’s sake i’m sorry i wasn’t better i’m sorry it felt like forever it’s too much it’s too much it’s too much it’s too much it’s too much the world is a beautiful place but i am still afraid to die the spider webs they get in my eyes it’s too much it’s too much it’s too much it’s too the spider webs spider webs they get in my eyes much it’s too much. no.
2.	no place for a cowgirl like me to call home 01:40	lyrics
standing between two marked destinations lost without a sense of direction there’s no water in the desert there’s no pools for reflection don’t fuck this up stay true to your intentions i miss my friends standing between two marked destinations don’t fuck this up stay true to your intentions
3.	tell me about the longer darker path home after practice (feat. godfuck) 01:37	lyrics
ethanfuck: and we started sharing stories about how we’re so young and why we’re still hereyou became every part of me as we shared a space with emptiness between sharing these stories sharing losing our places sharing these spaces getting so lost between
4.	like a shortstop lost somewhere in the 90 foot stretch between second and third 01:07	lyrics
trying not to fall i wont flinch theres no crying in baseball
5.	aristocratic misnomer remix redux dux goose 01:57	lyrics
ethics forgotten dejected and rotten societal standards no deviation no room for enlightenment or contemplation what makes you holy holier than thou aristocratic owner i’m the ox for your plow aristocratic misnomer you’re truly a sow a myriad of covers hiding the truth under the surface you’re so fucking uncouth what makes you holy holier than thou you have allowed men’s hearts to be corrupted, that their intentions be rotten, that their actions putrefy and stink thy will be donei am sartrei am sartrei am sartrei am sartre

about

this is an art project first and an album second. this is a collection of songs from a period of time during which i was trying to figure out what my art and music means to me, what it can be, and what i want it to be and what i want it to mean. i'm still not sure the answer to any of those things to be quite honest. this album is dedicated to everyone who has supported me along the way.

this release is primarily a catharsis art piece after struggling with the loss of multiple loved ones, including one of my best friends and one of the most talented drummer's i've ever known. i will not be playing shows for this release under the shortstop moniker, however, i'm really excited to show you what else i have in store!
