1.
experiment, hold your breath. call for reinforcement smoke soaked body weight forces inside plastic binds, pincushion arm. find your answer pulsating blood, closet full of hospital gowns shut my eyes. i’ll feel better when it’s over slipping under, take my hand when i wake lab test gone wrong
2.
slept in today, searched for ways to feel alive anxious lists, knees to chest. left out, alone tunnel underground. venture into the unknown seek out signs of life. break locks, walk down train tracks take back what’s ours. freeway shoulders, creek beds decrepit burn, pine, perish for a moment of euphoria
3.
it comes like a wave. throat tightens, begin to sweat an overwhelming feeling of dread. shame spiral rears its head my deepest fears affirmed by another. self doubt that keeps me down talk myself off the ledge but my mind wanders talk myself off the ledge but my mind holds on to words of failure can’t drown out the voices
4.
how do you live with yourself fall asleep at night, look in the mirror know the lies you’ve told, damage you’ve done for your own greed, power, approval ship of fools in tow against our will i wish i believed in god. relinquish control, submit to fate let chips fall where they may i’ll never have faith that anything will be ok nothing will be ok
5.
waving goodbye one dose and you’re gone hope for the best yet brace for the worst they gaze up from their nest, taunting ominous cocktail encased in color blocked shells medicated and numb regimented, overwhelmed wait for the drop heat washes over sweat prevails constant strain of sickness on the verge i’ll survive, but in what form sore joints and muscle aches always walking on the edge of sickness infected remember when i didn’t need 50 pills to function remember when my body turned against me
6.
7.
wails carry through the white cold radioactive veins, legs compressed fade to black. wide open cut me wide, hollow me out fight for air. stay awake to breathe
8.
toxic voices enter lifeless spirit. trampled daydreams, stability obey, turn into what you hate. greed dictates. empathy a rarity cherish kindness. slowly dragging, sleep alone pull leg, gnaw neck. if only you could see, reserve your judgement doubts wage war. guilt settles in

Apyrexy 01:55
i wont trust not for lack of want i stay at arm's length keep your distance long for connection patterns emerge If I smile you’ll fuck me wear all black, avoid eye contact. its for the best leave me buried in shame alone. hazy mistakes sit in ambivalence is it for the best unapproachable is it for the worse
12.
calm and serene. tower looms in peaceful isolation scan the dial, watch the horizon through the trees silent, disembodied. delirious screams cut through the dark write letters with no return. suffer alone in an empty room howls go unanswered, static hums. will the inferno take me down bandage my wounds, bring me comfort until i’m gone

about

We're very excited to finally share our 2nd LP, 'As We Suffer From Memory & Imagination' in its entirety, with help from our great friends at Zegema Beach Records and Dog Knights Productions. Given the context of the date of this album's release, as well as recent events, we'd like to take this opportunity to echo the many voices decrying the prolonged history of discrimination and violence towards Black people, as well as calling for the abolition of police all across the world. We'd like to express our solidarity with all victims of racialized violence throughout history at the hands of the police, state, and white supremacy, as well as with those out in the streets demonstrating in pursuit of a world that is anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and without police.

We feel that it is the duty of all artists, especially within our community of DIY musicians, social centers, and venues to utilize their platform, big or small, to bring awareness and accumulate resources towards this fight to the best of their ability. Therefore, we will be gathering all profits made from our portion of this pressing's physical sales, all digital sales and royalties, and any sales of shirts to be donated to TBD fund(s) assisting demonstrators with legal fees / supplies, as well as to organizations rendering mutual aid and community outreach.

From May 15th, 2020 – December 4th, 2020, all the profits made from selling our records and merch was collected and donated to the following organizations:

Reclaiming Our Homes
Reclaim and Rebuild Our Community Fund
Augies Union Workers Fund
LA Tenants Union / Food Not Rent Solidarity Fund
Koreatown Popular Assembly
AWARE LA, The Bail Project
People’s Freedom Fund
Louisville Community Bail Fund
Minnesota Freedom Fund
Chicago Community Bond Fund
Brooklyn Community Bail Fund
Richmond Community Bail Fund
and dozens of other bail funds across the US through The Bail Project and other bail fund donation aggregators.

Over those 7 months, we were fortunate enough to be able to collect and send over $5100 in donations. We may restart our donation program as necessary in the future, but for now, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank each and every one of you that supported us in this endeavor. If you haven't already, we encourage you to check out and support the previously mentioned funds and organizations, thank you!
