When we were meat and bones
I was happy in my home
But now I have a hearty shit-brain
and it’s been so long
When we were but one kid
Oh, home…
I, mind
I don’t mind
We meat and were when bones
in home I happy my was
home now but I
shit a hearty brain
so long and it’s been
but were when one we kid
Oh, home
When I saw you for the 9,000th time
I was happy that I was still alive
holding
holding
When I saw you for the very first time
Quite honestly your meat and bones were fine
I never knew I’d make it to this night
I never knew I’d wake up alive
I mind
I don’t mind

I believe that the process of creating “Lucid Dream, Dulcet Scream” began as I walked home from the grocery store one late-afternoon in February of 2011, six-pack recently purchased, and had the idea to ask a friend of mine, who lived in the same apartment building as I, if he wanted to collaborate on a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Bille Jean” that night. He texted me back, saying he liked the idea a lot, but he had plans. Feeling excited about making music, and perhaps saving “Billie Jean” for another time (it never happened), I began work when I got home on a new album. It began, like other albums, as a series of songs, but I couldn’t quite get them the way I wanted. I had the idea to create a simple process, based on lucid dreaming, that would result in a series of sounds—amongst these sounds I then placed the songs I’d recorded. I had used process-driven approaches a lot in the past to create poetry, and had then done so just a bit with music as well. This was the last album I made while drinking alcohol.
Though recorded in 2011, the album wasn’t released until November 12, 2013, on Bandcamp shortly after I joined it. I re-released all of my previous albums on Bandcamp that day as well.
