God made a mistake He forgot to put a soul In this trash bag that He calls a body I'm the bottom of a lake Leaking through a hole A shadow underneath the glitterati Fumbling down Stumbling down Tumbling down to Earth's basement Hollow Just air in disguise Hollow A doppelgänger's demise I'm a has-been who never was Mimicking anyone just because I want to see anything else in the mirror I'm destitute A prostitute A clone squeezing into a business suit To sell a soul I never had To be more than just a line in the plaid Let me break off and take Your face for sickness sake My purpose in life was to steal yours Fumbling down Stumbling down Tumbling down to Earth's basement Hollow Just air in disguise Hollow A doppelgänger's demise

Cigarettes and sticky seats Fake ID's Body odor, sweaty meat In their palms With porn in their psalms Lonely, ugly men with spare change Come pay at the door Old skin Chagrin Two inch reel to reels Try to cop a feel Grope at the screen Groan, they just groan All together Stuck together Crust, cologne musk Oversize coats Tickets to see Deepthroat Cigarettes and sticky seats Fake ID's Body odor, sweaty meat In their palms With porn in their psalms Rejects from prom, they got porn in their psalms

God spoke to me He says I'm cancer in flesh I was put on this sorry earth to spread my filth To test your faith, keep it fresh My cologne's an expensive stench My voice makes your asshole clench Pesky pestilence, pesticide I'm your savior of suicide Self loathing In the name of God Corroding As you ooh'd and aw'd At the world crashing around your feet I'm here to help you make it worse, make it worse, yeah Go pack your bags Move to Rock Bottom Town Self sadist? Let me crack the whip Worship through giving up I'm here for you Because no one else is I'll help you sink Down on your aching knees Pray for the end of days God wanted it this way I'll drain your soul until the end Because I'm your only fucking friend Pesky pestilence, pesticide I'm your savior of suicide

Since the day I was born I made sure to take my time I didn't take my first steps until the age of nine I drank my bottle of milk I learned to savor the taste Took me a month to never let a Drop to waste, drop to waste When I was boy My friends said, "catch us if you can" That game started so long ago now they've turned into sand Everyone I know moves on And they're moving way too fast They've walked into the future and I'm still Stuck in the past, stuck in the past Where's everyone going? And why are they in such a damn hurry? I'm comfortable right here Taking my sweet damn time Walk in slow motion Talking low Tell me, what's the rush? Tell me, what's the rush? Ooh You got no devotion Talking low Walk in slow motion Every girl I meet Never sticks around Their excuse is old age or being six feet underground All of my friends tell me That I ought to chase some tail I find it hard enough to keep Up with a snail, up with a snail My children grew up fast Too fast, if I recall They never slowed down so I outlived them all Like I said Everyone I know moves on And they're moving way too fast They've walked into the future and I'm still Stuck in the past, stuck in the past What are you running around for? Nothing's gonna go nowhere Why settle for a sprint when I can outlast a marathon? Walk in slow motion Talking low Tell me, what's the rush? Tell me, what's the rush? Ooh You got no devotion Talking low Walk in slow motion They say Rome was built in a day What a crime they didn't take their time Walk in slow motion Talking low Tell me, what's the rush? Tell me, what's the rush? Ooh You got no devotion Talking low Walk in slow motion

about

When deciding what songs to flesh out, write lyrics to, and include on the album 'Junk City', these were the leftovers that didn't make the cut.

They're not "bad", per se - they just couldn't find a place to fit on the album without making it bloated or overstaying its welcome.

The instrumentals to these songs were also met with a polite "no" when submitted to a music library for productions (TV, adverts, etc). 'Walk In Slow Motion' was originally intended for a rapper back in 2014 but that got passed over as well.

With all this rejection, it's only fitting that these demos find a home somewhere on the outskirts of the Internet - free of charge.
