1.	test #2 00:31	lyrics
It's hard to believe That there are people who don't want your disease And you've got to sneeze On a TV Once or three, yeah
2.	my left hand 03:03	lyrics
Went to the stars, found a nice one Reminded me of the way you look at me If there's a joke in this sentence, it isn't apparent yet But i know that my hand is clearly invisible You always said that there would be one hand left to choose I don't know what you meant, but I know it's up to me to believe I have two hands, that isn't that clear though I can see one clearly, the other one, not so much It is hidden by the microphone that I put there moments ago You won't know, you won't know, because you're not here Where did you go, so far away from me Why did you go so far away, you see You see you can't see my hand from where I stand Cause I'm sitting on a bench that reminds me of the stars
3.	i feel like i can hear everything 01:33	lyrics
I feel like I can hear everything And it's way too much I feel like I can hear everything And I'm late for lunch I feel like I can hear everything And it's way too much I feel like I can hear everything And now I'm late for lunch You can tell me all your problems And they will fade away But I'm late for lunch, you see, I've got to stray I feel like I ate everything And I have nothing left I feel like I ate everything And now I'm going to the left On my bench that makes a lot of sounds Under the microphone Now I'm late and I must go home
4.	ghosts 02:18	lyrics
Black and white paper salads in the amusement park Under the shadow of a new day dawning bright and dark Embalems of freedom can't sustain yourself forever Water pumps in the ceiling Ghostmen in the pipes If everyone's afraid of me, I'm afraid of them twice I'm moving to Ghosts are living among us They're in the grass, the earth, the rocks, the trees, the floor, the bees Water pipes under my bed Make whooshing sounds in the middle of the night For no reason except water Cardboard box in the rain Never again Cardboard box in the rain Never whole again
5.	here we go 02:25	lyrics
Cartiello Construction crews are here At the neighboring yard Across the street, full of plywood Everything there is just oblique It's empting to see How it affects my life these days But it does, so don't ask It's just the way it goes Two chords at once, I guess Gonna play the three chords that I play Most of the time Because they feel good I see a traffic cone That's the way it goes I guess I can't remember when I felt more #blessed Water Why is it so clear? Clear as you, my dear You're in a truck, you cost a buck You're late and out of luck Here we go, down the road Just another time or two It's not me, it's you Here we go, down the road again, I guess Why did you turn there?
6.	song about breathing 01:36	lyrics
[breathing sounds]
7.	a small amount of delay 00:19	lyrics
A small amount of delay goes a long way A small amount of delay goes a long way A small amount of delay goes a long way
8.	let's get CRAFTY 04:01	lyrics
(Let's use the sampler Let's get CRAFTY) 17 Bells ringing Oranges Books and filing cabinets Getting dressed Burger King
9.	chair 01:37	lyrics
As I was walking through the park And I saw a log (actually a tree) It was tempted by a dog A Jeep on its hind wheels A log on its tender shoots A piece of copper wire in the middle of a bush Play-alongs Blue vans Spherical orbs Gas meters, handles Parking spaces and cups Chair Chair I don't care
10.	Standard Bitter Love Song #8 (the Mountain Goats) 01:56	lyrics
Went down to the supermarket To look what's on sale But a shopping cart of various items Was already there I don't know what to eat today God will show me one of the ways Saw a pair of penguins In the frozen food aisle Couldn't make heads or tails of this event But after a while I became bored and tired on my feet Maybe God will tell me what t̶o̶ ̶e̶a̶t̶ 's to come, success or defeat Hey hey hey

about

you may have been wondering: is it still on fire? and now we have an answer: yes, and you can smell it from here.

this is the first music to be released from APTIAOF in nearly 4 years (the same amount of time between 5th grade and 9th grade - WOW). if you read the picture up there, you will also know that these live recordings come from an improv session back in April. (that means the music and the lyrics are improvised - WOW. except for the music of tracks 10 & 11 - OH.) the music is also not as cleanly produced and in tune as many musical sounds you may be used to. i hope you will appreciate this RAW quality, listener. raw things are better. nuts, açaí bowls, wrestling tournaments. probably not meat though? i think you can get diseases and stuff. i dunno. but anyway. thank you for using your hearing to hear these sound files.

special thanks to crAIyon for helping with the album art and to my sign-head friend for sound engineering the sounds. throw me a dollar if you want to own them!

keep on burnin',
