the binding

music and lyrics: joshua sanford

The only piece of sacred land is the forest.
The land that surrounds it is bound to it.
In its binding this forest sinks.

A treaded snake encoils it,
Humming and hushing its song.
The song is of progress;
In one way or another.

The forest has a shortage of paths.
Through these paths I walk,
And I wonder how the snake's song affects me.

Meanwhile, the forest has invited the rain and its song.
Ensemble forms of birds and step,
Each finding awkward play with the other.
The step knows little of these woods
And less of the birds,
But it steps in rhythm with one song or the other.

Much time is spent in the land outside,
And there we must reenter.
Somehow bringing something new?

I do know there is something there, and there is something here.
I guess that what is here is somehow home.
I hope that the forest is pulling.
A romantic thought.

These are the tunes of a life,
Searching for that which binds it.


chevy silverado

music and lyrics: mcdonald/sanford

"went to the gas station, gas was like five dollars what the fuck"

chevy silverado
full size bed and cab
cost me a hundred dollars to fill up my truck with some gas

chevy silverado
mufuckin' big tires and even bigger rims
ain't no goddamn liberal gonna take my gas again

chevy silverado
i drive drunk a lot

"When you buy our truck, YOU WIN!"


the dragonballs will never be found

music: mcdonald/sanford
lyrics: mac mcdonald

welcome back you're tuned into 104.7 The Void
where trust us, if you hate yourself we hate you too


call me maybe

music and lyrics: jepsen/ramsay/crowe

i through a wish in the well
don't ask me i'll never tell
i looked to you as i fell
and now you're in my way

i trade my soul for a wish
pennies and dimes for a kiss
i wasn't looking for this
but now you're in my way

your stare was holding
ripped jeans, skin was showing
hot night. wind was blowing
where you think you're going baby


playground detective drama

music: mcdonald/sanford
lyrics: joshua sanford

in the mornin' i wake up and find
that i'm feeling kinda pretty fucking good
he, she, they, xe
they all love me

"ow my feelings hurt now i'm gonna die"

by the evening i've come to find
that there's 14 brand new reasons i should commit mindless genocide
as long as he, she, they, xe
they all love me


the birds and the bees

music: joshua sanford

[instrumental]


before tomorrow ends

music and lyrics: joshua sanford

before tomorrow ends i'd like to be the one who can
before tomorrow ends i wanna be the one who can
before the fall of man i wanna know who i am

before tomorrow ends i'd like to be the one who can
before tomorrow ends i wanna be the one who can
before the fall of man i wanna know who i am
