Converse 04:44
If I compete I’ll be exposed Entrapped inside a story problem Only attempts it measures might fail So enslave me to the blind side Once in my triumph so composed It’s all enigma, it’s their problem When they choke too young They’ll never make martyrs for the downside The one and only sons who faltered at oblivion Just can’t count their birthdays, can’t help but remind The won and orange sons whose converse kingdom comes In blown out birthday candles, smoke and wax enshrines I am not important, service with a smile Offered open handed, no reflexive bile Celebrate their parties, seating chart degrees Let me lay my trophies at the throne and be The champion, the champion The champion, the champion Shamefaced by commandment, airtight pardon me’s Anecdotes of insults, worn biographies I am not important, just like those who’ve won Highest of conversions, conquered champion The champion, the champion The champion, the champion The champion, the champion The champion, the champion The champion, the champion, the champion, the champion

Toyfriend 02:57
Toyfriend, boyfriend You and I near love that overflows Time out, time in Close the door and pray the gay away Boyfriend Toyfriend, boyfriend Would everlasting arms entangle you? Reach out, chime in The father figure fondled in your hand Boy man Boyfriend Boyfriend Struggling upward proves the summit’s near you Comprehend? Boyfriend? Toyfriend, boyfriend The seminar attendance fees were waived Pull out, hold in Let’s keep it light, but pray the gay away Boyfriend For a few more years, anyway

Polygamy 02:27
Let’s all get married soon, let’s turn into brides and grooms As fast as we can Then there’s someone whom you can meet in your bedroom Now that you’re licensed, it must be righteous Now that you’re licensed, it must be righteous As long as there’s remorse, sure, it’s tragic but divorce Is necessary Otherwise you’re stuck, caring for one you once thought Would compliment you but you can’t love in your gut You can’t love in your gut, you can’t love In your gut In your gut And yes, there used to be some sin called polygamy The faithful practiced They didn’t understand matrimony’s perfect plan Let’s be reminded, they were so blinded They were so blinded, they were so blinded

Headphones on, nothing playing, oh my god Major Tom controls Simulcasting to two hemispheres above Left and right below Headphones off, commercials qualify, good grief Wage the loudness wars Find the stillness when he first stepped through the door Press rewind, record Tin cans in pairs we strung apart Spooling weightless counterparts Interstellar far, far, far There, where his constellation starts In the sharp end of our hearts Fuel for the carbon stars, stars, stars Dead, open circuits float apart Halos orbits counterparts Interlocking far, far, far He drew a message on the chart Counting down till sound departs Where I love you sweet, sweetheart Headphones on, nothing playing

Send me from the cloud with the countless streaming down Just missed your thumb, but who hasn’t struck the ground? If we get drowned out, well we never were the loudest Ghosts of bells alert to announce who played the fastest In the lower case, we’re a rounding error dropped with everyone Everyone Everyone Everyone Send me to collect in the rivulets where we’re drained Views that connect from the streets left glistening If it gets glitched up, there’s no substance left to find It’s graphed in dot to dots so we’ll volunteer to fight it Without reds or blacks, we're a rounding error dropping into blue If it gets messed up, there’s a light that never goes out Where the peaks roll off and our timing’s in a dive With all our might, here’s a rounding error dropped like every one Every one Every one Every one Every one With the answers lost, what the hell, we’re all remainders Everyone

about

Bandcamp proceeds from this release will be donated to Brett Siler, a friend of our band and many other working musicians, who lost his studio, home, and cat in a fire during the production of this EP.

Not an answer, but a drop.

about

Cantalouper Columbia, Missouri

Cantalouper started as an idea which became a story which became shoe boxes of cassette tapes of songs that became a band with records and shows and tours of DIYs and clubs across half the US which built friendships and a festival that ran for three years.

Then it trailed off for awhile.
