    Normal-bias master cassette, recorded and packaged by The Count themself. Apparently can’t count though, because the last few instrumental seconds of the track “Storms” are cut out due to ordering a bit too short of a wind. Everything else sounds great though. Only 45 available! (next batch without the flaw coming soon)

lyrics

i could feel it stir again but
guess i wouldn’t know
i’ll shut up and crawl back in
try to live from here
hoarding love and loathing like they’re one

can’t speak if i don’t peel my skin
you swat my hand away
you’ve really don’t it now
are you proud
are you helping me

well here i am your foolish friend
a subject you can save
pull my arm as strangers come
my body’s in the way

blood and thunder scenes keep playing over in my head
eyes are fragile in your skull but
the teeth are tough as hell
though not if you keep grinding them down

don’t sleep cuz i still
hear the sighs
i didn’t do it right
i won’t go outside
are you proud
am i better now

here i am your precious kid
i’ll suck it up cuz my
symptoms are just cowardice
i’m completely fine

i’ll just be the foolish friend
a subject to be saved
and you can count on me to be
forever in the way
