about

recorded early 1984 by Scott Godwin at The Island, N. Royalton, OH

lyrics

seconds - to, until, complete entropy
my eye hovers in the corner of the room
my breath is poison... I’m asphyxiated

said the cockroach to the cow,
“everything seems so much different now
life is yesterday’s dream (that’s what people say)
life is tomorrow’s nightmare”

I’m a cancer cell, here to disrupt - hear here, my friends
aren’t we all diseased? aren’t we all just seconds?
