Bersain With the release of 2015's Ekzodia, it was evident Pink Pots was full of potential that was just waiting to fully manifest itself and The Life and Times Forthcoming sees that promise come to life. One of my favorite albums of 2016

Hearse 04:27
Eroded rock falls and falls Incertitude comes and goes I can't go back and change mistakes I can't go back when we're moving forward I acknowledge patterns with human beings Social circles fracture and expire After individuals end up in hearses Funerals in churches Not a mortal will remember in a century or so

There's no more pretending, goodbye childhood And now I have to kiss myself asleep, goodbye childhood Goodbye childhood The transition was never clear, but goodbye childhood There was never a good time to start, goodbye childhood Goodbye childhood If all the world's a stage, then where's my creative control? When I was younger, I thought it was supposed to be fun to forwards to It never turned out to be (x4) It's time to get a job, goodbye childhood We're coming out to get you and your creativity, goodbye childhood Goodbye childhood

I wanna sleep I wanna breathe open air in an open community I wanna stay away from everything But you keep these people coming I'm gonna sleep And you're gonna build all of these things And I'm gonna go away I'm too young for change I've only lived here for four years And already you're ruining it I wanna sleep I wanna slumber (x4)

Life Reap 03:35
Nothing is working Everything is falling apart You never took your chances You've neglected a brand new, fresh start Nothing is happening Everything is falling apart You never took your chances You've neglected a brand new, fresh start You never took your chances You never took anything granted That's because everything you do is caused from Change in opporotunity Advancements in fortune Studying new ideas Memorizing pictures Mailing out the resumes Probing out the good things You don't even understand Everything will come back to you When you forget chances You're gonna remember where everything starts That's because everything you do is Falling apart and you don't care You gotta arrest yourself Put yourself into your place You skipped your first trimester And look where you are now

Condomhead 05:23
The towel smells like cigarettes And I'm a hunch for self-imposed house arrest I like to have conversations with myself in the shower to remind me of who I still am There's hair that's falling off my scalp And I'm drowning in legions of hair Forget the times, forget the family Move into a suburb of New York City Don't waste your time wandering and trying to get people to subscribe to your zine Like my body is a condom That is blocking the things I put inside my head To do for creative purposes And in the event that I actually do something It'll screw with my life Just like a bastard child who isn't a bastard child Who's really just a bastard The sirens are going off, my dog is howling because she is scared But I forget that she is dead and it's just another case of exploding head Ubiquitous ubiquity found in the hallway of a stereotypical high school And it's the same when I remember that I the stereotypes are stuff I didn't blend in with And I type words and phrases and learn that what I type isn't what that I meant to say The monotony of tribulations go day by day My narcolepsy is like another symptom of the fact that I don't care But looking at the vagabonds who shout that the world's gonna end makes me happy And my body is a condom And my mind is a sperm And the head is an artist Who's just waiting to squirm Into the ocean, down in depths and you're drunk Mr. Condomhead, is this who you were? And is this who you are? I'm gonna paint a picture And sing in Esperanto And then do a backflip And steal the show But then I wake up And it's just my time And my head is still a condom And I am still microscopic And the world is just a body

The Same As 03:53
There's a new church being built behind my house Yet there's already 4 churches that are within a five mile radius So what's really even the point of doing that Who knows? There's a new shopping center being built 2 miles down the road It's huge and it's got apartments that rise higher than the stores I'm never gonna get to see though, cause by then I'll Be gone. When I look out into the window I see a beauty that really never fails to compliment myself But I'm only miles away from the construction I just hope that in 10 years this'll be the same as it's always been When I take my car out of the neighborhood I'm surrounded by water towers and large fields that I still wanna run through But I'm only miles away from the construction I just hope that in 20 years it'll stay the same as it always was Dead people are staring back at me They're wondering what's happened to their oh so vibrant community And I tell them that the area was cleared away For stores They tell me "why must everything change?" I asked them the same thing but the thing is that the place that I've gotten so used was built as a replacement For theirs When I look out into the window I see a beauty that really never fails to compliment myself But I'm only miles away from the construction I just hope that in 10 years this'll be the same as it's always been When I take my car out of the neighborhood I'm surrounded by water towers and large fields that I still wanna run through But I'm only miles away from the construction I just hope that in 20 years it'll stay the same as it always was

Self 03:10
You're a hopeless romantic, you were acting too frantic It's never too late now, it is never too late now But everyone's doing and I am not wooing Whatever ambition I'd want later Everyone has decided and I've still subsided Whatever quest that I'd wanted, if it still seemed worthy Everyone's found their pleasure, and yet my treasure Will not wait for me. You have been blind this entire time now You don't have to choose yet It's just a pattern of existing You should feel alive, not dead I just gotta reap myself (x4)

Lapse 02:23
We'll wake up tomorrow, and do the same things we did yesterday An all time low, my brain emits waves for adventures And when everyone dies we'll repeat these different ways And when in a hundred years, they'll be new people to repeat our abusive nomenclatures. Coincided with unwanted hate, there's the people who want to destroy everything And you only meaning in life to survive, so the Sherman's path they make you must avoid. I am only a homosapien, you must respect that too But the grey matter you think you have is starting to turn into goo Perception is a very important part in our lives And when we have a negative voice directing us we tend to not stay alive And then we will never learn to suffice And we then will we all lapse and die Cause we're living.

Scared 05:24
It's the summer again and we seem to be near the end. Clouds of industrial miasma cover the world as relationships rend. We have little burning holes in our pockets that let us stay away. But in tension, they bring us close together in offensive anonymity and risque. And they say there's a message in all acoustic songs And they say we have nothing to fear before long And they say that the weather will be a new clear day But everyone seems to mishear what they always say Get into the bunker, prepare for obsolescence Of the human race and every earthly quintessence I just wanna keep to myself but the law disagrees And I'm slowly becoming a number for nonsensical fees It's summer and I'm starting to hate all of my friends Anger is covering the messages that we all send And the fun of going outside and playing is starting to fade Because I'm starting to lose my childhood innocence 1 PM should be midday, but for me it's the morning And I'm pissing everyone off because I can't do jack shit This decade's coming to a close and I can somewhat sense it Because the days of social media are starting to flit For every type of younger Millennial that's out there Who faces isolation and stress from the future I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I still know That I'm gonna suffocate in the weight of my student loans But that's the future, and I'm in the present living semi-happily

about

Everything by me. Credits provided in the tracks.

Special thanks to my family, the Weddington High 2015-2016 year, various music peoples, and the Charlotte music scene for kind of getting me in it and for letting me play and get into venues right before they were being torn down. Thanks to others in the state for hosting shows and being cool people. Thanks to all of the people that decided to show up to our shows and put up with our bullshit. Thanks to three friends for playing what I write with me. Thanks to the forum and those I got to be friends with from it.

This summer was crazy. I hope it's only the beginning, though.
