about
Eyenine is a great performer/rapper/person/legend from New Hampshire that you should check out asap.
He was nice enough to put me on a few different times
and this is yet another one of those.
There are details about this verse that I'm not sure he would want me to divulge but there are a few reasons this verse came out so solid,
ask me if you see me in person. hahahaha
I heard of him when I was 19
and was blown away by his freestyle abilities and his unique voice.
His acapellas inspired the acapella on this album and I could literally just keep going on and on about how great he is
but all you need to know is
he is a genuine, real, and powerful artist/performer.
THANKS AGAIN MIKE!
This one's about how being a musician isn't ever going to become the most sustainable existence you could choose.
It's a heartbreaking experience for the most part
and I wouldn't recommend it but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
You can either ruin your life with music or save it but it's all a matter of perspective, and everything's ephemeral so enjoy it while it lasts.
Also the second Bum Theory verse to open up the track!

lyrics
(Bum Theory)
Guess I gotta turn this shit down.
Turn the motherfuckin drum machine off now.
But it's only for a minute cause I gotta win it.
This time I gotta flip it upside down.
Listen how it gets when a misfit
with some quick quips
starts to hang around.
Illicit, no resistance.
In this instance
we're dogs
homeward bound.
A bit timid as if timidity
permitted infinity that's sticking
in the nitty gritty
K. Finnerty.
Is we safe in purgatory?
These days steal leways.
Switch a briefcase
to earn the glory.
Now that's the perfect story.
Go back to sleep it's early morning.
Surely warning,
murder for me,
that person lording.
Then please send me recordings.
So I can edit the beats
like medicine betters the weak
and letters envelop your teeth.
And vets will develop
green horns into mean form.
You don't need me for a chance
to advance some fans to
a trance.
You know I'm a friend
who don't want you dead,
I can't necromance.
(Chorus)
Music can't fix your problems.
Music won't pay the rent.
Music just gets forgotten.
Music won't save your friends.
Music can't fix your problems.
Music won't make amends.
Music's not the safest option.
But all music's made to end.
(Happy Tooth)
Keep all my belongings
in a plastic bag.
The life of a drifter
you can't practice that.
In outer space nowadays.
I'm Jack's silent rage.
Don't wanna go
anywhere that doesn't
look like a stage.
I'm afraid life's
a phase that we're
all going through.
Expressing myself was
the part that was overdue.
Loathe the view
or hold the gloom.
It still gets created.
Know the tune,
compose a few
some would kill
to be famous.
I just wanna try and raise the dead
until my face is red.
Write songs until I die
despite how many days are left.
Tumultuous,
all of follow love.
Borrowed cuts,
impulses, lust,
altruist, always was,
saw the bum insulting
some exalted ones.
Falling son,
balled fist ups,
walls were struck,
volume jump,
arts a bluff.
All he wants is for
these sorry fucks to listen
to his stuff and
call him dumb
but no one cared
whose fault it was.
(Chorus)
(...every record's made to end.)
(Eyenine)
I've remained the same in laymens terms.
I used to hang on every word.
But lately they've been makin
vacant statements,
painfully absurd.
Hateful at first.
Able to curse my way
through makin the worst impression.
Learning a lesson
nursed the obsession.
Pressed against a perfect verse.
Heard the best a person gets
is only measured in the stress.
Left instead of what was meant to
be the greatest message sent.
Lick your wounds
between the battle scars.
What used to be a shattered heart
can act as such a massive part in
mastering the art
of how to cope,
on how to overdose
on how to lose your focus,
hope the latter doesn't factor
into how you hold the rope.
Tie the noose and
boost your self up to the room and
yell, "Who can help me now?"
Before you fall right into Hell well,
at least the music can be used again
as evidence.
Some view it as a cry for help
To others it's just medicine.
Let that sink into your head.
Who would like to make amends?
I know this life was made to end.
Let's try again.
(Chorus)
Music might fix your problems.
Music should pay the rent.
Music might be forgotten.
Music could save your friends.
Music might fix your problems.
Music might make amends.
Music ain't the safest option.
We just wanna make music that you'll play again.

"Both Happy Tooth and BDotJeff spoke to the idea that music can be therapeutic, and writing and recording is now less about
reaching a larger audience than steadying the turmoil within. “You do start to question your own motivations, like, why am I doing this?” Happy Tooth said. “And I’ve realized that I love the art, and I have to make it because deep down it makes me feel better.” - MatterNews...more

Anyone else notice the lyrics of Brainless are slightly different than the track? It's funny actually. I wonder if it's like a Easter egg or something. Deaf-3ye-@nt
