I always wake up It's fucked, I always do my best To destroy myself with alcohol, and sex and drugs and all the rest Well everyone around me, they just shake their heads And no one has a fucking clue how hard I'm tryin' just to be dead! Your mom warned you 'bout guys like me Should be obvious to see All I want is to be dead All I want is to be dead In the back of a truck I wake fucked, don't know where I am From the heat and sweat that's on me, it could be Viet Nam LSD and speed and beer, tequila bottle started to pour So I survived another night, and man I'm really starting to bore Your mom warned you 'bout guys like me Should be obvious to see All I want is to be dead All I want is to be Your mom warned you 'bout guys like me Should be obvious to see All I want is to be dead All I want is to be dead

When things seem too tough it's because they usually are I'd rather just stay in and drink and play guitar in the dark Everytime something seems worth the while It dry heaves all over me, I'm covered in bile I just give up, I just give up Once upon a time I wore my heart on my sleeve Smashed to bits and superglued but it still worked I did believe The one inside beats like a fucked clock She don't wanna marry me she just wants to sit on my cock I just give up, I just give up One thing that I've learned by now, you shouldn't even try Failure is impending, so crushing you could die So when somebody tells you "dude, give her a shot!" You can have the satisfaction that you did not you just sat and drank a lot... I just give up, I just give up

I lost all my friends so then I drank alone I lost my job and then I had no home I lost my girlfriend so I went out on the road I lost direction didn't know where to go I'm lost I lost ambition to get up and go piss I lost my manhood stickin' needles in it I lost my values, everything that was me So fuckin' lost now, I'm finally free I'm lost

I Don't Care 00:46
I don't care about the fuckin' rent I don't care about my car full of dents I don't care about your cheap excuse I don't give a fuckin' shit about you I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care I don't care about the CBC I don't care if you're hittin' on me I don't care if I've paid my tab I don't care if I end up on the slab I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

You and me are like the Salton Sea Ocean and dessert never meant to be When we're together everything seems great Then we see the destruction of the salt that ate The cars The Bars The People around us, everything but the start and we know This was never meant to be You and me were like the Salton Sea Doomed from the start, for all eternity When it first occurred it was a miracle But then the people abandoned, screams hysterical Like the fights All those nights The silence between us like mountainous heights and we knew This was never meant to be You and me are like the Salton Sea Brought together by mistake and serendipity While the dessert embrassed it and just stood its ground The ocean receded, poison all around...

about

I had a brainstorm of ideas after accidentally glancing at my microwave while making a cup of tea; the brand name of the microwave being Salton. This reminded me of the Salton Sea, and then the ideas poured in. I wrote all 5 songs, music and lyrics, on Sunday, February 15, 2015. This album is released on February 20 - 5 days later.

Thanks enormously to Gavin Downes who graciously donated some of his time and talent to help me make this a reality, and to lay some sick solos!

about

Church Purposes Saint John, New Brunswick

Church Purposes is the current moniker for the solo musical output of Sean Boyer - the stuff that doesn't fit with any of his other bands (yet, anyway...)

Janky, short, catchy songs are the name of the game.
