Limbic 02:12
Limbic by Completely Inadequate [C.I.] Can someone get this ghost out of my machine? It keeps fogging up my dreams and making choices I don't see Dualism; is it me? Or is it discrepancy? It's the concepts of mind that makes us all feel Completely... Inadequate, I’m out of it, I bound to quit, Im average, back to back packs of my silly habit again Stumbling towards the end, its the journey, not the dent Don't think of money spent Or at least try to play pretend? What's keeping me all content? Live freely but won't defend? And I’ll humbly condescend Till I suddenly comprehend That you and I, will never die, until I say we say we can immortalized by family ties and those shaken hands Hell is other people Living life through a Peep - Hole There’s no good inside this evil Will we ever get a sequel? Knowing so can't be peaceful like the souls of the deceitful Every human is my equal So then, why, do I feel, so fucking feeble? I'll never know. I’ll never know, what's in of your frontal lobe, I’ll never show, where the hell am I even suppose to go? When your heart is at your home, But your home was split in two When you’ve traveled all alone, with the lies that they spewed But who are you? And who am I? Am I ever satisfied? Can we go outside without us wearing a disguise? I tend to hide, attentive hive, where's my steady 10 to 5? can’t identify why I’m intrinsically shy Easily upset, change the subject, what’s next? I thought I could forget the past tense a constant absence ​lack of traction Unforgettable fragments Why’d this even have to happen? Someone let me off this stupid contraption, when will I finally step in and take some action? getting sick of asking, whens my go at relaxing? Identity is cracking, limbic system crashing… -[C.I.]

peev·ish 02:40
peev·ish by Completely Inadequate [C.I.] I think about the things I shouldn't think about too often speaking nonsense diminish my accomplishments Never saw it coming seems so fucking obvious temper tantrums need an audience come back and watch this shit I haven’t lived yet, can we rewind? There's birth, death, and then there's LIFE in the meantime How does one unwind? and feel content with only fine when I can hear complaints contained in your sigh So why? Stick round and lie Pick apart the parts that you despise - Interlocking eyes, we’ve tangled with each other yeah - intertwined This is where the future stops, time for our goodbyes... So long ... and perhaps good riddance There’s a right and wrong but what’s the difference? Opinions and positions? Nothing really justifies existence Admitted, I’m just yet another walking talking cynic Poof, hocus pocus, hope you notice Rise out the mud you little lotus How hard can it be to focus? On no one else - hypnosis heart palpitates a little bit, I tend to give it way too quick hyper-hidrosis were told that the ghost lives better hold on to those moments and as i go to close grip they slip, dripping across the floor begging to become yours, I’m searching for something more I just wanted to feel adored, How can love turn so quick to scorn Adulting is boring and filling forms Fake news is everywhere, so what's informed? Thin the herd, you are king, be yourself, why conform? I wanted to be wanted 'Blue Velvet', hidden in a closet what could I do to stop this looking for a savior who’s looking for a profit looking for the answers yet all I hear is nonsense Things to do but I don’t wanna do them Can’t open my eyes without feeling influenced Ads everywhere looking for a shoe in I won’t open up just for you to gain some extra cents can someone start noticing? can someone please notice me? there’s no more focusing, constant stimulation no more potency can someone start remembering? can someone please remember me? there’s no more adventuring, constant dismemberment no more centering There's no reason to be upset. -[C.I.]

Circumspect 03:13
Circumspect by Completely Inadequate [C.I.] Who is this? Just a glitch. Who is is? Can’t admit. Who is this? Felt a switch. Who is this? Co-exist. Who is this? I don’t know who this is I don’t know who… Who’s the second voice? thinking he has a choice? I’m annoyed Searching through the void Thought I heard a noise I'll avoid- All appointments Fingers pointed At disappointment Time to own it more… Than the human I wish I wasn't, freak out in public, fragile grump - touchy subject Constant liar Balancing wire Pants on fire Cry baby, need a pacifier? Belly's full yet I still want more Spoonfed till I’m spoiled and I’m sore throw me out I’m rotting, OR just peel my skin and eat the core... aura , karma torea-part your Silly idols you imposters not my Father - seems I’m goner Sun won’t arise as I begin to falter Holy Poltergeist I have been altered Bugs embedded, Time for pesticide Don’t dream of angel wings, even roaches fly... Devil on both sides… Instructing me - how to live Give my heart - they take a rib Torn apart - & the one who bit That’s Debatable Ego inflatable Just a couple days ago Wasn’t feeling terrible Faith is just a miracle Not a joke, hysterical Out of order, unrepairable Who is this? This is me Is it true, Can it be? This is me Who are you, Who are we? This is me, Problems come, time to flee This is me Eyes wide shut, can’t you see? I don’t know who this is Who is this? Who is this? Just a glitch Who is this? Can’t admit Who is this? Felt a switch Who is this? Co-exist Who is this? I don’t know who this is I don’t know who… who’s this stupid little splendor Barley a contender Mr. forgetter please oh no Don’t let her so fake, you pretender forgot to remember attack the defender steal joy you demenTORE I adore, the souls you reap and mourn, I am torn, should I run away or warn? I was born, to die, so rip the thorn sound the horn, I broke a promise I have sworn Circumspect, I tend to always second guess, pay attention to neglect, till overdose on stress Pack it up and shoot it in Nails dug deep go ahead and cure the itch He is me but I’m not him no complaints, you must commit One of these are counterfeits they’ll persist till I’m convinced That him and I and thoughts inside will set aside our pity fights And realize that both these sides are solely mine, they have been combined. -[C.I.]

Rancor 02:15
Rancor by Completely Inadequate [C.I.] voice of reason turned to demon quite deceiving that I think I’m even leaving so what is this? Who I was and who I am are not the same? there’s cause and effect - am I the one to blame? Seems so - it seems so ________ The seems sow - hands around ya throat and I suppose - I should let it go shoulders froze and it goes tends to loop around ya lobes and now I’m reaching for the bar you set on tippy toes vaudeville cane before the curtains closed heavy hearted pain till the love implodes It’s not that I can’t, this is the just stupid choice I chose and so it folds, fear of friction keeps me closed if you would listen I wouldn’t have to impose and so it shows - misanthrope - throw the rope - time to choke - this is what I get for having hope? Tried to let go- yet we cling to the past Fled from the cold, burn the bridge — needa match Stuck getting old, there is no turning back Yet we left this on hold in case we relapse Time moves in stop motion Lips lie - mouths wide open Seldom and not focused, When will I not notice? Love is just hypnosis, I need a god damn health potion You see— I’m running outta hearts — is it my turn to play? — cuz I’m itching the marks Are you running away?— Are we drifting apart? Yeah, you trained for this race — you had your head start Lil' Coward can’t face face-to-face, eyes shifting away, feeling oh so misplaced, oh so this my fate, can I do something — change?, or just sit back and wait, man I’m impatient. And still I wouldn’t mind the back and forth forever, it’s better than never, may be worth the endeavor or wasted effort, regardless I recall every memory 'till you called to say “sever me please". -[C.I.]

Scarabs 02:17
Scarabs by Completely Inadequate [C.I.] I feel the scarabs... commitment what is your opinion what if its different conflicted can someone sit in I've reached the limit too much consistent we are right next to each other but oh so distant Broke, but won’t fix it Awoke, to something different The rope, is burning blisters Suppose, it was my jitters head in clouds and my hearts in a twister mister mister? please, man this beard is simply whiskers No I'm not lion, only kitten Stuck in submission Stop comparing to another there's no competition Working fine? then I’ll try to fix it Catch this stupid little fox in his search for a vixen lips are always moving | that's why you never listen the proof is in the soothing | that's why I never missed it The truth is less confusing | that's why I’m here admitting Subdued my bad decisions | that's why I’m here submitting Am I the same person when I’m by myself or do I act a little different ‘round someone else? It’s hard to tell, chasing tail, no wind in sails as she inhales, the promise fails, my choice is insignificant and veiled looking pale, the sun impales, 23 and still I’m frail this cloud I call heaven keeps on throwing ALL it's hail, Tall tale spins - I’ll begin To realize the scarabs crawling underneath my skin A walking talking sin, mostly made of oxygen, yet I smoke too much to quit, better pack that bowl again, holy smokes Inadequate, Completely out of it, better leave me out of it, junky just about to binge - on life, let me go - let me live. I feel the scarabs... -[C.I.]

Chum Bucket 02:43
Chum Bucket by Completely Inadequate [C.I.] run and hide shed my hyde Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde mystified missed our time I was never good at byes I don’t want to say goodbye I just want to be alright Elephant, you’re the mice plead the fifth, time to lie so who am I, (yeah) who am I? taking it all personal in a skull i think is mine? Just a - tiny dot, in a world filled with speckles Of course I forgot, I’m so fucking forgetful Remind me - Who I really am and who you get to see What mask am I wearing, who will people get to meet? “Thought you were an asshole" became such a common theme overthinking every moment, when will I get to be? Is this person really me in the reflection that I see or should I peak inside a lucid dream catch me as I fall asleep hopefully hope will bring peace I’m hoping for a sweet release hope fools, its fear it seems Gaslight - where'd you sleep last night? never left, I passed right, just leave it in the past right? What's real? All these people look like mannequins I'm leaning towards the dark side, you can call me Anakin You call on me, I'm panicking Love is just a gambling outta be, abandoning cuz honesty's a man made thing We'll never work out - together we’re obesity Searching all around - for your suppos-ed deity Let's play: I'm the cloud You're parade I rain down Constantly What about? Simple thangs Simpleton sifting through his tender skin Let em in, settle down to settle in, this is not settling, mending turned to meddling the world doesn’t stop just because you’re not peddling love’s more than wedding ring when you get mad over anything digging my own grave, can you help with burying? death after life is just life after death yet this voice in my head, says to "do this instead" I'm rooted and stretched and these bruised reach depths while confusion infuses as soon as you left, I’ve lost count of your steps so now where did you end? but wait Why does it matter, I'll never admit, no I'll never forget, yet I'll always submit, yeah I'll forfeit myself just to please you again... help me, with this.. decompression… sunken feeling … disconnected… no more link to… recollection.. start confessing … polygraph testing.. help me… help me with this decompression sunken feeling, am I really disconnected? No more link to that recollection You better start confessing, I'm polygraph testing help me with this decompression sunken feeling, nerve endings disconnected No more link to that stupid recollection you better start confessing, I’m polygraph testing. -[C.I.]

Mangy 03:13
Mangy by Completely Inadequate [C.I.] Protective. Selective. & I take it all for granted till I feel neglected. Suspension. Ascension... Up and up until I feel a connection. Recycle, Rehash, never learned to Relax, criticize feedback, microphone throne - no seat-backs Wait who’s that? mr. backtrack? cracking backs just to force an acid flashback? Looking for links to the past, wheres the ocarina? Gazing through the looking glass, but I haven't seen ya After birth, before death, we’re just in-betweeners, human breeders scared of being seniors... on our last breath, shall we take a breather? wait.. Do I live to work or do I work to live? Do I live to work or do I work to live? Do I live to work? No rest for the weary Protest - oh so leery Confess cuz I'm clearly Depressed it's not a theory Mangey Mutt preparing blunts, too scared to jump, Debbie downer looking around for the right side up I'm Upside DOWN, wait, where's the upside NOW? Roadside CLOWN, okay, last act watch me DROWN so tell me…am I, man enough now? Mismanage my doubt, Inorganic clouds, keep on following around It's been a Short week, but a, long day I just Can't speak, i don't, know what to say.. So Judge me, Since I'm, yours to take but Lately, it all comes in waves Little bit of good, little bit of bad Little bit of mom, little bit of dad, Now look at that, a combination of thoughts, I'm stagnant, passive, how could anyone let this happen? It's madness, that everything we do becomes past tense.. we're fractions - of who we wanna be we're ashes - in a phoenix style of belief we’re matches - let desire be gasoline We're addicts - hooked on drugs like sex and caffeine 24/7 grump, the curtains closed and times up serpents exposed with knives right behind us... so why trust? In god I trust - If that god is us // If not I must say something’s up// (yup.) I can not accept something just because// Man doesn't know a thing. He just thinks he does// just a busy bee, searching for a buzz just a little boy, searching for a FUCKING hug just a human being, searching for some love just a little decoy awaiting to self-destruct Toe to toe with never letting go Hold it close but never let it show (x4) just a busy bee, searching for a buzz just a little boy, searching for a FUCKING hug just a human being, searching for some love just a little decoy awaiting to self-destruct. -[C.I.]

This album is a personal blackhole. A screenshot to a place and time that I use to inhabit. This album was written mainly in 2017, mixed and mastered mostly in 2018, and finally released in 2019. This album is a part of me, or better put, who I was. If you can relate to anything said on this album or find yourself bobbing your head to a song for some strange reason just do me the favor of sharing this around, showing a friend, checking out one of my other releases, or just clicking play again, either one of those things would mean a lot to me. I appreciate your time, I know life gets busy so a huge thank you for even taking the time out to read this paragraph let alone clicking the link that got you here in the first place. Thanks for listening. This is The Absence of Light.
