Popcorn 04:46
it wasn't like that it wasn't no I make an echo surrounding a sound easing a bind, ceasing a mind I'm like a distant disco astounding just a little bit of light noise and center the void shapes are deployed breathing a joy found a new way to love all around freeing the bound secrets of sound found a new way to slow it down it wasn't like that it wasn't no
2.
if i ever had to get away and got away it's hard to say if I'd stay away I already know (it'll save ya) There's a painting on the wall it shows a lady she's fine telling me it's eating grits I already know (it'll save ya) A flower dress is on her hips and there's a carpet flag I would only wear that in my room too many sounds too many ground to cover so I mix a couple in a min and let this worm get stuck in mud and dangle down my face I already know (it'll save ya)
3.
rounding bases at night sending faces to the sky torrent of paces ask the why a million places I reside do you know where you've been? I remember now rounding bases it's like I knew the sun would rise yet the moon is still surprise it's like to you your 26 time you wear your pace all in your eyes

Easy Things 03:45
the edges never ended there at the space where we trade our notes such characters we need to find our faults at the place in the air of our throats a lavender coat holding on to cold it was so easy easy things I sauntered in to the bathroom with Alchy, my Archie she fixed the tab between my teeth and lips all in one motion my salt flavors the ocean my piney bones we use for homes my eyes project an ancient soul call to arms to give embrace to know a being without a face my history is a blank book so I'm leading with my left hook.
5.
I understand now that it goes the way (you go) teach new(rou)tine cleaning my house i lay awake cause I came to stay there's a star creeping my eye searches my iris in the night I watch it go away darkness trades in to grey I understand now that it goes the way (you go) such is seen making me feel fires of light that I might open a door speaking "hello" allow me in so you may not let go I watch it go away darkness trades in to grey I understand now that it goes the way (you go)
6.
folded in the pages of the books that you collect written in the inserts of your discs and your cassettes there goes your history, there goes your name drifting in the dust you circulate and settle in you elude yourself upon the surface a violet stillness trembling throughout your tangled breath growing and glowing a certain version one step away from your caress you elude yourself
7.
House Tea 04:09
I see, then I know I wake up and see dreams wasted (summiting peaks) truth from wet birth (pink dream plastic covering things) come dance if it's wicked, no love, and wild, where's this guilt from? get away, get away, get away do you mean to slight me? don't turn back, oh you can keep all of it i don't want nothing to do with it run away all of it I can't know why there's a door between all ears and a way (I'm taken by the house tea) a wait on hold, an air, of experience just like blood sugar, casualty (I'm taken by the house tea) I wait, looking, but first I do notice not to my eyes that go around the room (I'm taken by the house tea) I looked around, no I, not I noticed but I'm just eager and curiously taken by the house tea
8.
Funny Paper 03:46
what's the scene? tantamount to mountains dreams if I'm keeping it, I'm staying am I finally asleep? no do you care to invite those closest to you to look inside with two eyes as doors, with two eyes as doors

about

Tjing is the product of the music I've been working on and obsessing over for about three years. I've taken inspiration from relative personal struggle, those around me whom I love, and casual interactions from strangers.

I want to thank everyone, especially friends, who have supported this endeavor through their presence, enthusiasm, and positive way of looking at the world, and to all of those who come to shows and buy tapes. This is for you all!
