ChunkStyle Demo (2001)
ChunkStyle
ChunkStyle was formed after Chad Hildebran's departure from This Dizzy Height. Drummer Adam Clark was brought in to rock it harder. Two of the three songs on this demo were recorded earlier on the Stereo Luxuriances CD, the third, Made of Days, was new (and by far the best recording we ever made.)
These demo CDs were burned, sticker labels printed, and then wrapped in a printed and folded sheet of paper, and given away at all of our shows.
There are a lot of copies of this floating around out there somewhere.
Track listing
1. Made of Days

it's a long way to have to go
to complete a thought
we'll mull it over until the edges are round
but it seems our only hope
it's beautiful but it will gouge your eyes out
before the morning haze burns away
there are some things at a price so high
you can never get as much as you pay
time
were throwing it away
it's a little secret
that the years are made of days
it's never what it seems to be
you only see what you want to see
coffee shops and record stores
sidewalk cafes and herbal healing
superficial is the only word that comes into my mind
it's never what it seems to be
just take a step back and you will see
this sudden clarity
brings hope of things that will someday be
this town is made of two-sided tape
well it is a stretch i know
running away won't change anything
this town is a two-edged blade |
2. Altima Bud-Get

i can't seem to recall
how things were two weeks ago
and now i know
that time can never move too slow
dream of me in flight
we'll be strangers for a second time tonight
i bet you thought you'd not
see me again well
here i am
let's take a walk tonight
and talk of kicking sand in the face of the man
talk of letting go and taking control
then our lives would be our own
speak for me tonight
in a week i'll die with a tear in my eye
i bet you thought you'd not see me again
well here i am
when utah takes a breath
the sky turns burning red
purple mountains up ahead
rear view sunset
goes away
say goodbye
to californ-i-a |
3. Days Like Rusty Nails

i met medusa's ugly sister
she walks the world on long and crooked legs
populace pruning like a twister
she's so possessive of my every cell
call the cdc
we're up to level four
call the cdc
four hundred fifty monkeys at the door
call the cdc
this one's a level four
call the cdc
and down the hill
there's kids on swings
so fire at will
cough up my heart
there's no vaccine
she says i'm smart
slow motion skid
that will not end
look what you did
building me up like a piƱata
waiting to pop me like a daughter
(four hundred fifty monkeys)
she's digging right down to the naked rocks
to pull it all out fresh |
