Masochist 04:42
I'm just a man who needs a field to sew seeds in You'd think the pain would make it worse but I need it Drag you down to where I am, no more healing If you feign surprise, you'll never break through the ceiling Chorus: Smack my ass and call me trash, I swear it gets me off Don't treat me with dignity, that's how it all goes soft I'm sick and screwed and in the mood, for racy Nabokov I love for you to push and shove, and whisper turn and cough Masochist In a suit still wet with lube, no peeking Not for me, not publicly, so I sheathe it Ring my balls, run down the halls, Pavlovian Salivate, inseminate, ooh the taste Chorus: Smack my ass and call me trash, I swear it gets me off Don't treat me with dignity, that's how it all goes soft I'm sick and screwed and in the mood, for racy Nabokov I love for you to push and shove, and whisper turn and cough Masochist Don't look now, and don't ask how, I hate it Look at me, I'm on TV, debating The stage is free, and all for me, believe it American dreams, and families, Vote for me! Chorus: Smack my ass and call me trash, I swear it gets me off Don't treat me with dignity, that's how it all goes soft I'm sick and screwed and in the mood, for racy Nabokov I love for you to push and shove, and whisper turn and cough Masochist Masochist Masochist

Don't Budge 03:05
Gaslight fist fight never ends All their actions turn pretend Twist and shout, intentions blend Never after will they bend Don't budge Give no quarter, spend no gold Villains crave their stranglehold Stand your ground and become bold Cowards run until they're cold Don't Budge After all this you will know Liars need just one in tow Stop their hands but watch your toes Never done til their way goes

The Vent 04:05
Roaches crawl across the wall The flies answer their call The vent’s alive in the stall Mad as hell, in for a ball Doesn’t matter, midnight or noon Just assume, right to the moon The vent calls its mating tune Hear it all, in my bedroom. Fight or flight, it’s hard to tell Little Tammy’s stuck in the well The vent mocks me with alarm bells Hard enough to deal with this shell Slamming doors, cries for entry All the words, speeches obscene The vents wheeze, gasping to breathe Make the call, it’s squeaky clean Hear the sigh, after they’re sent Question why again and again The vent cries malicious intent Someone lied innocence Caught in traps, man-made or mind But it’s far from one-of-a-kind Return home, the vent will unwind Whiskey glass, need to go blind Endless pain, heard through the vent Silence rings, more than the rent The vent screams it’s gone hellbent Feel it all, it has a scent Pounding down, into the floor Time again, cue the slammed door The vent invents, its own little war Drown it out, shakes to the core Stomach churns, making me sick Noises scare, buzz or a click The vent laughs, adds in a kick Candle’s burned, down the whole wick No more noise, it will just stare Try to hear, just from upstairs The vent waits, holding in air Am I alone? Does anyone care?

Unwind 02:33
Steal a tall boy and make some fucking noise what liquor do we got lets take a fuckin shot Tequila ginger ale Lets make a whiskey tale And head to the show and snort some sneaky blow Yeah the roommate owes us money he's a fuckin prick While the tunes this year have been so damn sick So we'll take the good and bad with a bag of cheap wine Cause its been a shit week and holy fuck do we need to unwind Stay in home alone Just scrolling on my phone Yeah the screen's so bright When you're on shrooms at night Take a walk to the bank And throw up when I tank We got dressed up to go Nowhere we know Back to the house and crank the tunes so loud Light up a bowl we'll make a mushroom cloud Toss me over a beer I'll pay you back in kind Let's get fucked up cause all I wanna do is unwind I'm gonna swig a can of beer and throw it in the bin Yeah I can't stand the taste but pour me up some gin And I think I blacked out after gumming too much But we both found a girl, cocaine's a super crutch Well the end times are near thank fucking god So who gives a shit if we're so fucking odd It all works out maybe half the time Drink to forget and do drugs to un-fucking wind

Rough and racist that's how they wanna live A public shaming's the least we're gonna give You wanna know if we'll lay down and die? All I know is Yes. We. Kill All Nazis (x4) KKK and the alt-right fucks Nowhere to run when we spill your guts Cut the rope and sharpen your knives Last words before they die Yes. We. Kill All Nazis (x a shitload)

Shazam! 04:55
SHAZAM! Young Billy Batson was just a street rat, looking for a place he could call his own ...then he met a stranger The stranger looked just like his dad He chased him down, and in a flash The subway rail took him to, the Rock of Eternity The Seven Deadly Sins of man A wizard spoke, and judged him there "Captain Marvel, you will be, the God's Champion!" Chorus: Wisdom of Solomon, and the strength of Hercules Endurance of Atlas, and the Power of Zeus, Courage of Achielles, and the speed of Mercury Speak the magic word, Billy Batson! SHAZAM! Doctor Sivana and Mr. Mind, most dastardly duo that you can find Stirring up trouble in Fawcett City Monster Society pulling heists, Captain Marvel SHAZAMs and fights Curses! Their plans foiled again! The day is won, but not for long Cause from Khandaq, an evil's song An ancient Champion, Black Adam! Chorus: Wisdom of Solomon, and the strength of Hercules Endurance of Atlas, and the Power of Zeus, Courage of Achielles, and the speed of Mercury Speak the magic word, Billy Batson! SHAZAM! SHAZAM motherfucker, you've reached the end, Black Adam fights hard and he plays to win, he vows that there will never be a ruler. So just when its grim for the Big Red Cheese, when all seems lost at the villain's glee... Mary Mvel and Captain Marvel Jr. AW SHIT Chorus: Wisdom of Solomon, and the strength of Hercules Endurance of Atlas, and the Power of Zeus, Courage of Achielles, and the speed of Mercury Speak the magic word, Billy Batson! SHAZAM!

Streetlights 04:34
Take me to my mind, in these dark streets of mine I'll learn I can't deny, there ain't enough to dine And I'll just lay there waiting, for a thought to come to me And while I lay there bleeding, no Streetlight shines on me I got out and alive, I actually arrived Out of that town and I, got what I have eyed And yet my heart keeps sinking, no one has found a shore I'm here and all alone, guilt-ridden to the core And all I think, is here I am Alone but never free In the next room, she'll want me soon But never when I want to I hate my fucking life, I think too many times I'm too young for a wife, I think while trapped inside At least the streets will calm me, if only for a while Streetlights go out above me, while I just force a smile Exiting my mind, return where I reside Though it may take some time, I'll wake up soon inside Before I turn the key, I get hopeful behind I turn and as I sigh, no Streetlight thinks to shine And all I think, is here I am, alone but never free In the next room, she'll want me soon But never when I want to And all I think, is here I am, alone but never free In the next room, she'll want me soon But never when I want to Its never when I want to No, its never when I need to.

about

The Tar Sands Kingston, Ontario

Hey I'm The Tar Sands, Scott. Everything you see here is DIY..

The Tar Sands used to be a band but they said I wrote too complicated songs. Weird right? Not like this shit's Meshuggah, anyway, I'm not bitter I can't play these things live. (Oh I am so fucking bitter)

It would help me out if you bought anything you see here. But I get why you wouldn't want to.
