He was the best damn scout in all the land Had a metal spoon shaped like a hand He’d come to the shore and sip a beer Inscribed on a rock “walter beaver wuz here” OH NO! He was the best damn scout in all the land Had two left feet made out of sand Didn’t know where he was but here I am I’m walter beaver JR and I’ll be damned Walter Jr. was his only son He knew he was the only one Had five seashells and one shotgun Shot himself in the head then he was done OH NO!

Dead is God 03:38
No one knows how life begun There’s a couple rocks between you and the sun Thank god your sitting on the right one WELL time and space oh what a waste The same ideas in a different place I feel like I should change the pace But my clock is stuck at the same rate God is dead ain’t that a shame You’ll never learn to love again Split your mind open and eat your brain ‘Cause life is nothing but endless pain

Walkin at a glacial pace gotta throw yourself into the lake Got no one there to justify the reasons we live the reasons we die I was floatin idly by a hand reached down from the sky Picked me up and then it put me down Said, “how do you like life here on the ground?” I said I think but I ain’t sure life is good for what it’s worth But it ain’t worth shit no more Walkin at a glacial pace someday soon I’ll melt into the lake And one day you’ll go for a swim My body will wash over your skin And you’ll know It’s me.

Right foot left foot left foot right keep on walking through the night Right foot left foot left foot right keep on walking towards the light Grey suit white suit grey suit black keep on walking don’t look back Grey suit white suit grey suit black pick the perfect tie to match One foot first, the other next Until you take your final steps You go right and I’ll go left The light will shine on our last breath

You grow Into your skin You learn You begin You grow Stuck inside of my own mind I mind myself I mind the time True love I search I never find Sometimes I think I’m wasting time You stab me and I stab back Vicious cycle heart attack I felt your heart and it was black Not enough to turn me back

Rain? 03:54
Running through the thoughts in my mind I’ve got no one to keep me alive Cause when you make it to the other side They aren’t gonna ask you how you died That is that this is this I’ve got no one left that I will miss I never knew if I should behave I dig myself a shallow grave and dive right in Runnin in circles and talking in squares Your life’s a joke you’re not self aware I know

about

Inspired by an abandoned pier on a forgotten lake, Memorial Pier is an ode to the loner, the wanderer, and the wonderer. It’s the happy medium between pain and growth and joy and suffering. It’s the will to keep on keeping on despite life’s curious predicaments.
