Ballad of an Evil Twin 02:55
lyrics
buy track
I found your gold locket on my window sill And when I opened it up there was no way to tell If it was my twin looking back or my evil self Who’s in your heart is it me or him? Do you want a golden boy or an evil twin? Tell me tell me is it my fault when being born is my only sin? Tell me now, tell me now, is it him? Is it him? Is it him? When we were born I was put in a cage Never again to see the light of day I couldn’t change I couldn’t change I couldn’t change I couldn’t― He is Jekyll and I am Hyde like a coin with only one side You could have been my lovely bride But who is it that lays beside you tonight Tell me now, tell me now, is it him? Is it him? Is it him?

Heavy Heart 05:52
lyrics
buy track
She had a broken right hand and a pair of red sunglasses Getty said he’d make her queen of the trailer park When she came over that night and they started to kiss You could say that he didn't mind the scars up and down her wrists And they walked around from June ‘til the end of summer And they forget all their pain or at least their hunger But sometimes she'd stay awake at night staring at his veins Contemplating all the blood that they contain You've got a heavy heart You should have known from the start You've got heavy heart They're gonna tear you apart Sharlena was half black but she was all ass Getty didn't know that things could go this fast But he put on the brakes when she showed up late You know he was scared of what queenie'd say Joe next door, with the pompadour Kind of guy who could get anything you're looking for Said he knew a guy who could solve any problem If they could just deliver the volume You've got a heavy heart You should have known from the start You've got heavy heart They're gonna tear you apart So these two motherfuckers walk into a bar And they ask the barback how they can score He was tall and thin looked a little stoned Grabbed a baseball bat and said run home So they hit the walgreens on the corner of Derry For Sudafed and all the cash that they could carry Junkie john had no shirt on When they picked him up to help cook You've got a heavy heart You should have known from the start You've got heavy heart They're gonna tear you apart They sat around while the radio played Choking down queenie's bartles and jaymes Getty lit a spliff and let it smolder Commiserating the regret of getting older How many wine coolers does it take to make a junkie cry? They never found out because that was the night they died Getty and joe burned up with the batch While queenie and Lena made off with the stash You've got a heavy heart You should have known from the start You've got heavy heart They're gonna tear you apart

Last Night 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Last night I dreamed that I broke my back. Last night I dreamed that I broke my back. Lately I just can’t relax. Lately I’ve been losing track. I wanna rip it up and give it back. I wanna rip it up and give it back. Last night I dreamed that I found myself. I found it hard to get along with myself. And when I tried to sing a song with myself, I found I sounded just like everyone else. That is how I learned to hate myself. That is how I learned to hate myself. Last night I dreamed that I was a guitar With six strings and a whammy bar. But when they plugged me in I only sparked. The crowd booed and the house went dark. But in the dark I always scream. Yeah in the dark I always scream. I wanna rip it up and give it back. I wanna rip it up and give it back.

The Hourglass 06:29
lyrics
buy track
All that you can ask for is all that you can want So don’t come begging for pleasure unless you know what you’ve got And it’s all that you’ve ever wanted The sand falls through the hourglass, slowly bit by bit And the only thing that I would ask is how it came to this

about

Pseudonym is the sound of me being 24, disillusioned with a dead end job, gaining weight, trying to go back to college and battling the worst depression I ever had. It’s also the sound of me discovering the electric guitar. The wild vicious joy of ripping into a solo on a Les Paul played through a Big Muff. Fuzz, my almighty savior, the medium which made these tracks possible. The music I hear in my head. Anxious, bitter, paranoid. The victories are seldom won, and never without sacrifice.
