She speaks of love, I understand it all at last I wandered off into her arms- I laugh Maybe my loves just a mess; Maybe my loves not here Maybe my loves just a mess, I guess it is I wandered off, look at the sky she made for me and wondered if I lost it all eternally Maybe my loves just a mess; Maybe my loves not here Maybe my loves just a mess; I guess I guess Maybe my loves just a mess; Maybe my loves not here Maybe my loves just a mess; I guess it is! Oh no! She's leaving! She's leaving! Right as she's leaving, she speaks of love She speaks so low ...

Bent 02:30
Can't keep up with the times Can’t stare in my own mind's eye Talkin’ to myself again, it's all bent Craving propaganda Wasted my whole mind for it Screamin’ out the window cuz it's all bent Bent! But it's all bent Cuz it's all bent She makes up all her stories She’s got nine lives to tell the truth Still worryin’ about nothin But it’s all bent! Bent! But it’s all bent Cuz it’s all bent Bent!

Pour Me 04:22
You like it there? Well I couldn’t breathe I put her there myself, so I could be free she said, "I cradled you into a black mess, got darker as we sank" I said "‘least you put on a nice dress" It's a waste of time to breathe It's a waste of time to sleep It's a waste of time to be me Do I care anyway? I'll dance with you as 'Love Me Do’ plays sickly in my head Psychotic Spew! We'll make it up; laugh into a croon.. You make me feel so dumb and ugly too It's a waste of time to breathe It's a waste of time to sleep It's a waste of time to be me ..Do I care anyway?

My Own Dead 02:52
But take what you want from me, I'll fake my own death I'll do what you wish, I'll fake my own dead But take what you want from me, I’ll do my own hair I'll still get the mail, I'll fake my own death But don't be so angry; I’ll put it into my tea I'll put it on a shelf and be somebody else If I could find the words to talk to you in hell Keep fading into black I hope you understand I'll fake my own dead I'll do what you wish I’ll fake my own dead, I'll fake my own dead But don't be so angry; I’ll put it into my tea I’ll put it on a shelf and be somebody else

Maybe I’m lonely / Maybe I'm stuck here Maybe I’m useless Don't care about loving, Don't care about feeling Could care about nothing more Everyones watchin’ me fall down But don't get me up / It's on me now Maybe I'm broken / Maybe I'm stuck here I may be some paranoid hero, here You pretend to be happy but I can see through it My hair it pulls, my lips they bleed your blood (I can't stop) In time it comes and what they want gets to your head (I can’t stop) You pretend (I can’t stop) Don't let it end (I can't stop) I can't stop, l cant stop Everyone's tired and stuck in their head Yet no ones exhausted but you Everyone's happy (Oh! So it seems) Everyone's watchin’ (Oh! So it seems) Everyone wants their day You pretend to be happy but I can see through it My hair it pulls, my lips they bleed your blood I can’t stop! In time it comes and what they want gets to your head I can't stop! I can't stop! I can’t stop! Pretend to be happy but l can see through it You pretend (I can't stop!) Don’t let it end (I can’t stop! I can’t stop! I can’t stop!) Against her, against her you pretend to be happy Pretend to Be (x10) Protect me, Protect me, Pretend to be, Protect me, Pretend to be, Protect me, Pretend to be, Pretend to be Protect me, Pretend to be Pretend

I’m in the trenches again No one to call me a friend ‘Til death, I’ll be in my head Your gentle smile fills me with dread Bad timing, they’ll put you up against the wall It’s bad timing, they’ll put you up against the wall Put you up against the wall I’m in the trenches again Oh no! I’m in the- Bad timing, they’ll put you up against the wall It’s bad timing, they’ll put you up against the wall Put you up against the wall

I love you when you’re not around Yeah, wether you’re up or you’re down I love you when you’re not around I love you when you’re not around Oh baby baby, what’s the point? I hate you with all of my joints And I feel it all in my brain I love you with everything But you’re taking my love Taking my love You’re taking my love Taking my love away She’s so uptight I must be a parasite Exhaust me! No bets you’ll make it out alive But you’re taking my love You’re taking my love You’re taking my love Taking my love away

Synthetic handshake with a honest man I’m only dark meat I’m only dark meat Her shadow grips my hand with a honest grin She wants it darker Let’s make it darker Cuz I’m easily tricked And you’re easily fooled And I’ll take all my heart While you eat most my soul When I’m alone When I’m alone When I’m alone When I’m alone Alone in my home Cuz I’m easily tricked And you’re easily fooled And I’ll take all my heart While you eat most my soul But I’m easily tricked And you’re easily fooled And I’ll take all my heart While you eat most my soul When I’m alone When I’m alone When I’m alone When I’m alone

Red Worry 04:44
But he can’t take it! No he can’t take it! No! he can’t take it! I’m honest I’m loyal I’m talk to myself I’m blue in the face ‘til I’m let it all out I wake in your promise And curtsy your stable Red worry Fade away now Red worry Fade it all out Evil is what I’m becoming What quality taste dear Don’t forget that pain is the way to suppressed indignation No friends in the way all you gots is your own desperation Evil is what I’m becoming What quality taste dear I just feel fear I lied, I’m dishonest and weary and stale Lay sweet in the dirt while you rip at my cells Amnesia Dysplasia Got lost in your spit and sores Mmm! Ahh!

Bye-Bye! 03:37
Can’t take it seriously (She sits close so I don’t forget) Gotta say bye bye to the girl Gotta say bye bye to the girl Gotta say bye bye to the girl Gotta say bye bye to the girl Now you say da da da da da Gotta say bye bye to the girl

about

"Psychotic Spew is the debut album by Seattle Gunk Pop trio, Black Ends. An album long awaited by many, it is a dark and brooding achievement that breaks and creates you at every corner. From the highest highs of ‘Bent’ to the lowest lows of ‘Bye-Bye!', there is a song for everyone here. Black Ends does not hold back yet a single feeling as the songwriting is sprinkled with as much catchy and clever humor as it is a mesmerizing and perfect sadness. The album is strewn with astounding instrumentation throughout with stand-out string performances by legendary composer and cellist, Lori Goldston. This is not an album to ignore - in fact, it is an album everyone should try at least once - just to feel like you’ve lived a little." -Nik Swi
