Black Hole Bait

by Freddy Fudd Pucker

1.
Worm 03:03
Pray for rain, Swim in the bath water 
Paint your veins now To flesh out your self portrait (looking’ good bud!) 
Some kinda handsome have-not renaissance man
 But you are a mess, son A cannibal admiring it’s reflection 

 We’re gonna find a dead horse To let our larvae live in
 They’re gonna drill their own mines Within the veins we rode upon 

The cancer comes of age Shock and awe holy wars The wait for change Is something we’ve grown quite fond of (I guess?) Was I supposed to laugh?
 At this despondency wash Within the pixels of these photographs? 

That we can’t even burn to stay warm When the oil floats upon a bluer black 
Swimming in a longest night paradigm
 That never gives a grain of salt back 
Wind, wade, work, wash, worm
2.
In a dark, hard, hastily built heart Lies the long time lost light of A town where the sea meets open mouths And low tides yawn like a blood dawn choir It flows, and it ebbs, and it flows At the bottom of, its rotten, rusty harbour Lies a beast, just east of where we found her A colossal, flesh coloured rusted fossil Of the fear our families fed us full It flows, and ebbs, and it flows And it flows, and ebbs, and it flows And it tastes like it looks And looks like it feels It smells like its sounds like The things it steals Dissolve
 A King tide A land slide Pillars of apartheid 
 Crumble and cry all night

 Dissolve

Feast 02:14
If it’s the end of the fuel, it’s end of the light
 The finite shadow of the feast The tiny teeth that move within the parasite Eating the bowels of the beast A crack in the river fills spring full of silt Which spills into the neighbours bed 
Grows a garden of poorly veiled guilt To feed the bees inside the head
 And if the hive is hollow
 There’s nowhere to go When the divers swallowed The sea will eat the boat If it’s the end of the wick, it’s the end of the light The shade shaves another slice And that’s why I don’t eat it Cos I don’t need it That’s why the hunger is the curse

 That's why the hunger is the burden of the living That's why your tongue won’t touch the feast
 That’s why the garden grows gifts worth giving
 To catch and kill the time it eats

Lonely Us 03:16
Lonely Us
 Black mould A universe To crease and fold 
Lonely Us
 Dead weight
 Gathering dust
 Like black hole bait 

 Lonely us Bad blood In the toothbrush
 Sharks in the flood
 Lonely us
 Our dead weather
 If you must Go swim in the terror Lonely Us
 A common cold
 A loneliness
 To have and to hold Lonely us
 A low tide
 A seabed rust A way to decide

about

Hey there,
This new Freddy EP was written within the depths of a locked-down European winter. I spent quite a few hours playing a nylon string guitar and whispering to myself, as to not disturb the neighbours. This collection of songs is the result of all these aforementioned factors. Fuckin' Europe, fuckin' winter, fuckin' lockdown. I'm not whining. It's just the truth of the situation.

Creatively, I feel a constant need to rid myself of things. I don't want to sit on these songs for a "better time" to "release" them or whatever. Fuck it. Writing and recording these was cathartic for me personally. I simply felt like making these songs public now for anyone that cares or anyone that accidentally stumbles across them, before I move onto a much more important personal project.

I hope you get something out of them. I hope you're doing well.
Love,
Fred
