Derick Penrod The combination of chiptune with the almost grungy vibe gives me chills every time! Favorite track: Try Hard.

Try Hard 03:56
Lonely opposition Like a cautious melody I feel Livid, tempered, seasoned Nothing beats a felony I have a Crazy, simple delusion Like I never wanted anything At all ends, it all ends, it's all ended You want fire? You'll never get lighter Tied to the sun like a star shaped liar Coping with losses and teenage bosses Until the teet drops Faster than you tossed it I'm not a dreamer I'm an unbeliever So put me on your list of people who can scream her I'm a fighter a cryer a liar and a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard New wave people need it Like a mother fucking lolipop and I know I'm not the best one For the understated dodgy rock but Hear me out it's a poison and you need it too You need it too You want fire? You'll never get lighter Tied to the sun like a star shaped liar Coping with losses and teenage bosses Until the teet drops Faster than you tossed it I'm not a dreamer I'm an unbeliever So put me on your list of people who can scream her I'm a fighter a cryer a liar and a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard Keep it up Oh, oh, oh, oh Keep it up You want fire? You'll never get lighter Tied to the sun like a star shaped liar Coping with losses and teenage bosses Until the teet drops Faster than you tossed it I'm not a dreamer I'm an unbeliever So put me on your list of people who can scream her I'm a fighter a cryer a liar and a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard Yeah I'm a try-hard

Introducing capitalism To the unsuspecting man with the children out of reach so you can turn off the engine fan And when the water - isn't finished You get a Communism Hoe-Down with some cole slaw spinnach I'm a dancer A lancer An old-timey prancer But I won't take no for an answer If you think you can ever count on me Count your blessings 'cause the moon is coming down and it's bringing second-guessings Tylenol on my brain Tylenol in my heart My lungs are filled with cocaine But my intestines are filled with shame Defining what is cold and what is hot isn't all that hard to do You take the good and the bad and mix it in a stew Give or take, all the things that you've seen Make a microwave fridge look like a macrowade spleen I'm a liar A tryer and a washer disher dryer But I don't give a shit about your crying When the world goes under You can drive to Australia You asshole (I'm outta here) Tylenol on my brain Tylenol in my heart My lungs are filled with cocaine But my intestines are filled with shame Tylenol on my brain Tylenol in my heart My lungs are filled with cocaine But my intestines are filled with shame

Rodeo 03:08
Whiplash, turns to dust Magic gypsy calenders running to bust Barking at a dog is harder than it looks Rodeo damnation is in town tonight Feel good animation leaves us (keep it up) Yard sales, bargin deals Counter-culture losers don't get how it feels Writing up a resume to learn how to squeal Rodeo damnation is in town tonight Feel good animation leaves us Whiplash, turn to dust Calenders, running bust Barking dog, harder looks Reservations, gravy books Gunsmoke, train wheels Yard sales, bargin deals Counter-culture, how it feels Resumes, learn to squeal

I fear the world's gone dark I look along the mountain range, I see the land's mark Tonight, I'll see the world end brightly Along the angels move so lightly and I will end my life Tonight I feel them open right For me to end it all I know the answer This world is too much for me to handle I hold an empty fusion candle For love - its weakness, the land of the free is held back by lies and locks on the leisure and I have something to say This world will never pray For a demon - with no name I know it's the truth I fear the world's gone dark I look along the mountain range, I see the land's mark Tonight, I'll see the world end brightly Along the angels move so so lightly and I will end my life Tonight, I'll make them lie To end the world is my right

Give it up, giving out The speedy man always slows down I have a Hibachi in the colour red Give me money, or complaints Either one will be worthless I don't need no interpolation I don't have to see the future to tell you It's a damn shame we're so disconnected Because if we weren't then I could tell you I don't need no interpolation Have a glass of wine, then define what it says I don't have any patience for no newborn newly-weds If there was a hole where my face was I'd probably name it Sam Unfortunately there's no way to detect If the price was ever right to begin with, in fact I've got a secret, it involves killing goats Nothing to boast, nothing to coast OKAY GO I don't need no interpolation I don't have to see the future to tell you It's a damn shame we're so disconnected Because if we weren't then I could tell you I don't need no interpolation You're no Sega Saturn but it'll have to do I guess I'll just have to destroy things to make room Death is near, apparent and inherit Brothers and sisters don't make very good parents Give me complaints, or give me money (GIVE ME MONEY) Probably the former, I could really use a buddy I don't need no interpolation I don't have to see the future to tell you It's a damn shame we're so disconnected Because if we weren't then I could tell you I don't need no interpolation I don't need no interpolation I don't have to see the future to tell you It's a damn shame we're so disconnected Because if we weren't then I could tell you I don't need no interpolation I don't have to see the future to tell you It's a damn shame we're so disconnected Because if we weren't then I could tell you I don't need no interpolation I don't have to see the future to tell you It's a damn shame we're so disconnected Because if we weren't then I could tell you I don't need no interpolation I don't have to see the future to tell you It's a damn shame we're so disconnected Because if we weren't then I could tell you

Granger 04:01
The psychopath in the curly dress is making lots of destruction with his swirly hands and Kory The Man versus Lakyn The Loser The cards come together and they're never too loose, err I make this land turn on its head and South Park runs in an infinite land and there's an Egg Man on a Gameboy Color and I understated, I underplated this No, Fence "Haha", says Super Kay Tiny and ready to play When they're never going back Turning their clocks to the ones that laugh and when the monitor points to the file cabinet The man in the crown will load up his Work In Progress The car isn't out of fuel, it's just wooden and on the wall The tiger and Lady Liberty know themselves to a brawl

Saturn 02:55
I've been alone for so long That I forgot what it's like to be awake I believed in a fairy land in my dreams Where I was the air, and the air was fake The lights are on and on and dreams are made of war But fantasy is far from over Her eyes are a quirky lore I wish I wasn't alive to see this happen to what I call my home I wanted to be dead forever But then I'd have to be my own The nights are on and on and dreams are meant to die But reality is never real and sleeping dogs still lie

Micro-sonic ashtrays Explosive decay Give a lover to your mother Free weekend getaways Put out the chainsaw Let a hobo use it Show the world what it's like to be a train set Marking up prices and holding guarantees I don't sell out, I sell in I don't mellitus, insulin Capital choke-hold, we know Party of three I got a load Nothing beats the best When you're expecting morse code I'm fresh Like a pirate in a courtroom Keeping up appearances but never let you through I'm fresh I'm a remote dancer Find a new girlfriend Give her a chance, sir Open road clinics for superior cynics Take a shot for the road Shoot the load while you're low Talking up storms and whispering sunsets Putting up a barrier to shield the brain cleft Deafening the old and cleaning up the new Forfetting the gold and spilling what you spew Michael has a wish his wish is to be a fish So give him what he dished (YO, JOHNNY) I'm fresh Like a chef in an oven Grilling off to the sounds of refridgerators running I'm fresh I'm a remote dancer Fine a homeless man Give him a foreclosure

Halothane 02:48
Defying the laws of nature is an easy task First you varnish life to nothing, then you finish last Creating what you destroy? There's a simple solution Make nothing at all, that's my professional conclusion Halothane Halothane Halothane (Halothane, Halothane, Halothane) WARNING: HALOTHANE LEVELS CRITICAL Devaluing your home owner's property? I wish I were you That way I could just weasel my way out like a goody four shoes Turn around the market, make yourself some change Hoping for the best, won't get you any range Halothane Halothane Halothane (Halothane, Halothane, Halothane) (Halothane, Halothane, Halothane) Halothane Halothane Halothane (Halothane...)

Breaking stones with your long john bones Giving up prostitutes on the microwave loans Taking shimmy jimmies in on a Saturday night Coasting on good luck with the facts on a Lite-Brite Hold the phone Someone's calling in from Rome Gotta take out the flash Before the camera moans In a minute with a priest Turned sideways Approaching high altitudes on the Cali bays I see The lights on me I give 'em what I want and they take it away from me Wishing I wasn't here anymore Wishing I wasn't here anymore Keeping up with the nearest intersection Timing all of your food to your kitchen's ovulation Beating a dead horse's ass Until it's bleeding new jokes Making Monty Python choke I'm an unusual man with unusual taste If you cook up something good I'll make sure it goes to waste Now about that loan It'll cost you three pints of wine Interjected with some full blooded crime Wishing I wasn't here anymore Wishing I wasn't here anymore Breaking stones with your long john bones Giving up prostitutes on the microwave loans Taking shimmy jimmies in on a Saturday night Coasting on good luck with the facts on a Lite-Brite Living on the edge Living on the edge Living on the edge Living on the edge

Grandfather 06:06
I turned to them in the sky and I asked "where you going?" They looked at me and smiled and said, "where I belong" Go with the flow Where did they leave me all to the world? In its many places... A flow isn't there unless something is flying and a river can't remain without a rise Turn to where they stand, and I will make it all together But now I have no guiding hands to call me on the lies to never, I shall fry Grandfather, why did you leave me to myself and the world? Grandfather, why did you leave us all in hell? I turned to them and said that I knew he was But I really didn't know I just wanted to pretend like I did Feeling so ready Turn the gates open sideways and see where they want to go I know that they hear me scream for his name To let me know where to go Tired of these other false prophets leading me to shame and if I had a say in the matter I would never have let him dig his own grave, no Grandfather, why did you leave this world alone the way? Grandfather, why did you leave me with everything?

Big thanks to everything and everyone I sampled from. It's mostly just incidental sounds, but sometimes I implemented them more musically...! It's by no means a crutch, I just wanted to try something different.
