Dino Sore 05:57
Dinosaur, skeletons in the closet Dinosaur, bones beneath the skin and Dinosaur, digging them out of the head And oh how they ache when storms are approaching Nervously creaking with dread Dreams are getting stranger in the hibernation chamber again... Dinosaur, natural selection Dinosaur, natural disaster Dinosaur, bone excavations Uncover, discover, disturb history My paleontology Can see the years of compression changing the composition of me Can see the frankenstein statues of stone out of fractured old dreams... Dinosaur, sad sunken sockets Dinosaur, wishing we could forget Dinosaur, eyes in my pocket Fixed, undivided and afraid to blink Pull me from petrified clays And don't you let me go like the dinosaur bones extinct Fossilized and rendered in time obsolete.... Dreams are getting stranger in the hibernation chamber again Dreams are getting stranger, wondering what kind of danger I am in Cold blooded host, for the reptile ghost within Time sure flies in the hungry realm of subterranean...

The best years in a life Dranken up in a night Swallowed with pride now they gone Tasted like rain Coming down from blue skies When there's a will, there's a rainbow And the blink of an eye's The best kind of goodbye And always the kind that I've chose The best years in a life Dranken up in one night Sun's rising now it's time to go And I've chosen to go on alone Chose to live fast and die slow Could it have been different? Now I'll never know When there's a theres a rainbow... Well the last thing she said As she ran from the bed I hope that you die in good shoes Because a man such as you He is sure destined to Be a lone ghost of old walking blues But all a cold severed soul can hope Is if there's a wall there's a window And if a cold wind blows there must be somewhere warm to go When there's a will there's a rainbow...

Like shoes on telephone wires That kind of blues When life is on fire Like leftover food, all soggy with water and a bent plastic spoon in the rain of the gutter You’ve extended you hands they were treated like hand grenades Threw them up in the air and hung there like shoes on telephone wires Sweet wisdom tooth, in the jaws of the pliers Just wasn’t room, back behind, in the the mouth, of a mind of a lover Wishes had bloomed, only for a week, or two Then down the street how you blew, just like yesterdays news, and who were you trying to fool All the maps and the plans they were greeted with razorblades Threw them up in the air and confetti rained blue prints on you So you curse to the empty air, just couldn’t stop it, Breath of a dragon with asthmatic coughing fits, burning and true …and happiness, once again Flickered for the camera lens The negative images Process in loneliest dark room Picture of old discarded Shoes on telephone wires That kind of blues When life is on fire You’ve extended you hands they were treated like hand grenades Gave up your footsteps to one who had ran away, so afraid of you...

I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead I’m walking around and nobody can see me because I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead I would tell you all about it but nobody can hear me Has it been a million years? Has it only been a minute? What’s the difference when your dead, and frozen in the infinite I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m really fucking dead this time Still waiting to unwind, and take a load off All this dead weight that I’ve been waiting to show off But there’s no one to show, not above or below And i know, I know because I’m dead! From Wikipedia: “Cotard delusion is a rare mental illness in which the affected person holds the delusional belief that they are already dead, do not exist, are putrefying, or have lost their blood or internal organs.”

This morning was a whisper Right outside my window My mind told me to wake up My heart told me to go The days are getting shorter And they're going a whole lot slower And some days are made of water And some days are made of fire And they'll burn your fucking house down Sometimes life is like a house... Life is getting shorter And my words are getting slower I'll think through the things I'm saying Because some words are made of fire And they'll burn your fucking house down Sometimes life is like a house... This morning was a whisper Right outside my window My mind told me to wake up My heart told me to go My thoughts are getting bigger And the world is getting smaller But it's still bigger than the beetles Crawling all over my shoulders Life is like a haunted house My life is like a haunted house...

I'm living on arts and crafts I'm soaking in an ice age bath There's a wholly mammoth in my living room And extinction always comes so soon Due time for me to have some fun Might have to burn a little bit of house down Due time for me to get my bread Flavorless feeding, sick in the head Flavorless feeding, sick in the head Emptiness, bottomless, leave me for dead Before I grow up to be a monger of flesh Flavorless feeding, sick in the headache Due time for me to have some fun Might have to burn a little bit of house down Due time for me to get my bread Set me free I'm stuck in the head Chainsaw-brain-jawbone, I clench Step right up and loose your hands Feed me, feed me, feed me again Or feed me a bullet to clear the head Due time for me to have some fun Might have to burn a little bit of house down Due time for me to get my bread Flavorless feeding, sick in the head So... maybe I don't care Sow shut my eyes Lay me to bead I'm living on arts and crafts I'm soaking in an ice age bath There's a wholly mammoth in my living room And extinction always comes so soon

Stranger in the night, afraid of the sunlight Get out of my head, crawl out of my eyes Stranger in my mind, you made it this far Overdoses, burnt down houses, and crashed cars Stranger in my head, get out of my head I'll be your replacement, and I'm leaving you for dead You never believed a word I said You don't want to see, me living You only see me as you see yourself Blind and broke and you only wanted to help Why can't you be more like me? What are you keeping from me? Stranger in the night, afraid of the sunlight Get out of my head, crawl out of my eyes Stranger inside, chained up to a tongue-tied Insane from a lifetime, afraid of the outside You'll never be relieved until I die You only believe in your lies You only see me as you see yourself Blind and broke and you only wanted to help Why can't you be more like me? What are you keeping from me? Stranger in the night, afraid of the sunlight Get out of my head, crawl out of my eyes...

Beauty is a creature... Exotic, alien... To these carnivorous gardens... Don't disturb the beast while he dreams of metamorphosis... Why do they torture him so... ... Scavengers are circling shadows over hiding, seeking, predators blending into their surroundings. Don't disturb the beast while he sleeps the cruel winters away. Insectile hopes and dreams, from a cocoon inside a cave. Release the past life memories into the breeze, even the trees need something to breathe, and when the beast wakes up to an empty cup, a whole lot of belly to feed, and when the crops outside have withered and died, all that survives are the roaches and the flies. They'll wish him better luck next time... And I'll say "Thanks, your all so kind..."

Open up a toolbox, medicinal chest Got a drill, got a hammer, got a shovel got a pick Got my temples in a vice, lets to the twist Twist and turn, press, press press I do no want this any longer Medicine chest, getting stronger My tower keeps on getting taller How did I get so high? How'd I get so small? Open up a toolbox medicinal chest Don't get sidetracked, leave the future in a mess Got the moment so sick that I'm dying to fix it. Pick, pick, pick, and dig dog dig I know I said I could not carry on this way But I just couldn't resist it Too young to die, too old to live like this And I'm dying to fix it I do no want this any longer Medicine chest, getting stronger I know I said I could not carry on this way How did I get so high? How'd I get so small?

I see a funnel, a big black hole, at the bottom of the pyramid scheme Them fiends got the hunger to feed on the other but they ain't gonna feed on me I may be sick of myself, and hence, why I think of myself in the past tense, Them fiends got the hunger to feed on the other but I'm not very appetizing Life like rain from the cradle down to the grave With just enough time to paint my name of the walls of the cave Remember me, won't you please, remember me this way Them fiends had the hunger to feed on the other but they never did feed on me I may be sick of myself, and hence, why I think of myself in the past tense Just me and myself and the has-beens, buried deep in a machine's memory Just do your best "ain't no tomorrow" dance Move your mechanical carcass Them fiends got the hunger to feed on the other but I ain't nobody's harvest Life like rain, from the cradle down to the grave With just enough time to paint my story on the walls of the cave...

about

Kamikaze Funtime is a Northern California-based musical project by songwriter and musician Benjamin Owens. The music spans a broad spectrum of genres, and is generally characterized by Benjamin’s surrealist lyrical content, as well as his unusual production choices. While the majority of KF songs are driven by electric and acoustic guitars, an eclectic variety of instruments are also employed, many of which are diy inventions constructed from salvaged materials and scrap metal parts. Much of the music also makes use of orchestrated noise and sampled sound effects, usually with a lo-fi characteristic. All in all, Kamikaze Funtime is an excellent choice for any music fan with an appreciation for interesting lyrics and unique indie music.

Everything is written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Benjamin Owens at his remote cabin-studio in the mountains of Mendocino County.
