Life 04:04
Life in implausible decline I hold no false hope I'm just biding time Life is an unbecoming mess Reams of dead prose Line after slanting line Rest now, my child Life has lost equilibrium A dead weight bears down On my cranium Life in improbable decline An ailment unknown Sigh after mournful sigh
2.
I Know 03:29
There is nothing to see There is nobody here Left to my own devices and desires Falling faster than ever Falling beyond horizons No direction applies I've got the fire At war with everything - I know I am one with the skies I am one with the winds I have become invisible and opaque Driving faster than ever Fall asleep at the engine No confusion or malice Just plain fear At war with everything - I know
3.
You III 04:39
I miss your scent I miss your touch I miss your light I miss your voice You are all there is I miss your lips I miss your tongue I miss your skin I miss your everything You are all there is
4.
No one should sleep this late You ought to be awake You should be fully engaged Infinitesimally enraged No matter what I say Or hold my rage at bay You never disengage or let go Sunday afternoon - I wish you well Sunday afternoon - I wish you'd go to hell Would that I had your trust Intolerant and unjust I can't condone your behaviour All I can do is resist No matter what I say Or hold my rage at bay You never disengage or let go Sunday afternoon - I wish you well Sunday afternoon - I wish you'd go to hell

about

In 2021 we planned to release a new EP as a companion piece to Mind, our 2020 release. It was to be called Life and feature, along with the title track, various other unreleased Black Distortion songs. That plan was put on hold and some of the tracks ended up being added to the Mind EP.

In September 2023 Jeff and Joe decided to revive the idea to release Life as originally planned and this is the result. Along with the title track it features two songs that were originally ear marked for the EP: I Know and You III and as a special bonus a 2022 remix of Sunday Afternoon.

Life moves in mysterious ways, pardon the double pun, and sometimes a good idea lies dormant for years until something happens and the wheels start grinding again.

We are here.
