The water of rural Arkansas
It's slick and it's sticky
The reeking smell of sulfur
Clings to you clothes and to your body
It becomes part of your personality
It's supplied from a man made reservoir
Called Lago Purgatorio
Made by damming the River Styx
In an undisclosed location
Where the dead of Arkansas congregate
The soldiers from Pea Ridge
In formation in the water
Remnants of the Elaine Massacre
Finally somewhere they'll be remembered
And I'm barely breaching the surface of the waves
So hold onto my Achilles
Allow it to serve it's grand purpose
And I'll see what I can recover
From Arkansas' grand pool of water
When we get back home we'll have a drink

Torpor Me a Drink

I got so drunk
I couldn't hear my ears ring
I felt I'd lost a portion of my personality
Tinnitus gone
Along with everything else in my head
Utterly useless
But I said it wouldn't happen again
In the morning
Wanna start the day out right
My best foot forward
Ignore the pain from last night
Go to my bedroom
Spend all day staring at the wall
My ears are ringing
That's a problem I've learned how to solve
I want to improve
But I'm not in the right mood

All Roads Lead to Clifty

On the interstate I followed a yellow moon
But it turned out to be a fast food marquee
But I continued on the path it had laid out
And found myself in Clifty
With some friends out at Beaver Lake
Taking turns jumping Lover's Leap
Then a misstep someone hits the ground
For help I ran all the way to Clifty
All roads lead to Clifty

And I hope you accept my invitation
To take my hand in marriage in spring
I promise it will be much more fulfilling
Than just getting some big new shining ring
And I'm gonna love you tender
'Cause your mama never did
And I don't have all that much money
I can't afford big trips on out of town
But the love that I'm going to shower you in
Baby, all of your bad times are going to drown

Lo-fi, scratchy, and somewhat vulgar punk rock straight out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Don't overthink it—they didn't.
