Cupidity (About an Arrow)

from Pit Sounds, Vol. I [2013 Remaster] by Billy Z Duke

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    I prefer alternate forms of CD packaging, but I had to make this version to be able to submit the album to radio stations, so if clear plastic is your thing, then you're in luck!! Random triggering images will be included in the inner tray and jacket.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Pit Sounds, Vol. I [2013 Remaster] via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The minimal packaging required to keep your soon-to-be-obsolete Compact Disc safe.

    Worth noting that when I burn, I burn ONLY with Taiyo-Yuden CD-R media, which sandwiches the sensitive, reflective silver layer of the disc between two protective layers of clear plastic. Perhaps you've never had the problem I began to notice all too frequently with my commercially bought CD's: if I happened to scrape off any of the label printed on the top of the disc, I could see that "hole" from the bottom! That would cause playback errors when the laser failed to reflect, and enough holes could prevent a disc from playing at all. This would happen because commercial CD's are produced via the cheapest method possible, with the reflective silver layer painted on top of the disc, protected only by whatever artwork was printed on top of that.

    So, just saying, with these, you won't ever have this problem (that you probably just learned existed). These CD's are built to last.

lyrics

Cupidity (About an Arrow)


stop reading the letters and just eat your soup
there's a fuck of a lot of believing to do
and i can't recall how to do it

not a twitch of the lid or an arch of the back
it was only a moan as a matter of fact
an unbroken bone till you threw it

and the arrow sticks straight out
through the heart of me
and to think i feel it now
as a part of me

there's no reason to do it and no reason not to
except for the fact that i really don't want to
but when has that stopped me before

don't have any more time for these you's and these i's
i'm making a world where no pronoun applies
and engraving our names in the ice

and the arrow sticks straight out
through the heart of me
and to think i feel it now
as a part of me
will i pay for all this time
or was the payment made in kind

i could still feel the weight of your eyes on my back
it was only the moment right after the fact
