Enjoy 03:12 video
It’s just a tired meat suit It's a pillow that you don't really like It's the helicopters over your house It's the enamel on your teeth You can't begin to enjoy If all you've ever done is enjoy You can't begin to live If all you've ever done is live You can't begin to escape If all you've ever done is escape It's a Trojan horse When was the last time you ended up unscathed It's a waterfall When was the last time you saw a waterfall Aha, aha, aha Did you ever know And then the violence comes To lift your face and run To elevate the clown Hateful patterns in your thumb Dealing yourself crumbs Always sitting numb Dangerously high and dumb Fine with whatever comes I want to run with you Paralysis for two A temporary hue Annihilation Station Death to red and blue Brains squeezing out Filling me with flavors Parked it and felt it Gripped it and ripped it Gazed it and quit it Pulled in then reversed it Broke into flames I Sealing inside I I have the fault lines

Bodily 03:44
The bedrooms of your dreams Are filled with parasites Rising water and caffeine Waiting to get some blood Either way, I'm coming to you Some disaster or other will get me there Will I be late I'll always be late Will I be the one I'll always be the one Are you gonna go tit for tat Are you gonna miss the bees Did you want freedom from freedom Or anything in between As time sweeps over the parade ground like a breeze With the sky pointed at you Or were you pointed at the sky Becoming whole And unbecoming all the time Scraping at the body Bodily Scraping Scraping at the body Bodily Body is safe At the body Bodily Body is safe Scraping at the body Bodily

Flavors 02:52
Walking the halls of plenty You feel amazing, like a dream The purple velvet caresses you But why do you always have to look back What does it take to not look back for just one second How much more of this Will there really be Are the flavors of tomorrow immortal Do you now Accept anything To trade For the pulsating vein of today Oh it's like a dream Oh it's like a dream That we happened to Oh it's like a dream That we happened That we happened at all That we happened

The Dust 03:26
Having nothing better to do i think about the plagues and the battleships constantly Pissing formaldehyde and running from myself The bright green birds screech and fly in packs and ruin whatever you have going With their toxic flying shit I'm a skewered man and my plans are skewered I have been frying for some time In the merciless sun But this is how the west was won Why would I want any more of this stuff when the BBQ is all I need Take a vacant look at everyone trying their best Not to scratch like dogs in a fever Chewing the fuck out of their umbilical cords I'm a skewered man and my plans are skewered I have been frying for some time In the merciless sun We don't have a choice but to let ourselves burn Don't need no seasons Give me a reason See a noble high Give me a reason Throw me a season Running on fumes I have anxiety Stuck in the trolly problem And the CBD is letting me down The parrots all around me with their toxic mimicry Ripping the skin off the clown The skin of the clown Go for it Drink it Eat it Forever Take it Forever Break in Forever The court The fucking fleas on the court The scum of the earth The drop in his eye The lump in his throat The drink in his can The itch in his palm The whale of his wind The grief of his breath The fog of his brain The tick of his conscience The gush of the rain The fire in the gorge The tickle of tail The rats in the garret The fog of his brain The dust

Loaded 03:37
The dice are loaded and throbbing The money glistens with human sweat And passes like a fire from hand to hand Leaving behind burns and a stench To which the body is chained Sitting in a chair that’s far too small Until the last drop of juice has been squeezed out By the machine I prefer a little gambling and cigarettes when no one’s looking Rather than stuff Yearlong blue sky A moon rock parachuting into Eden Still evil still hungry The exorcism of sound But all the while blessing the hand grenades Because we aren't only sublime But shitty and absurd sailing down the boulevard In a plume of heavy particulates Going nowhere With the sluggish tide of traffic Like a dead bird frozen in the Andes Like a petrified rose A piece of lead with wings on it Meat that is chewed by every mouth Without pleasure or pain Setting fire to whatever is around Feeling the nihilism sneaking in But the water Is sneaking in

Your Minds 03:31
There's nothing sicker than Seeing yourself Falling down the canyon Falling in the road It's hard to know better If I could wake up from this dream I would know The things that surround us Are forced right in Into your head Into your ears It happens so fast You could never consent to this Your minds old bag of tricks And these shoulders are for you For when the sunsets growing We should go down tonight We should go To somewhere Where there's a little bit more elevation We should go somewhere To a cave of warmth inside ourselves And mind you I’ve been reading And reading is the worst kind of poison And mind you I’ve been feeling And mind you I’ve been feeling And feeling is the worst kind of poison Oh the doubt The doubt is living behind these walls Oh the doubt The doubt is completely wet And is pouring out from behind the walls From the place I see the day Throw the plate I heard you say From the place I heard you say

Numerology 03:58
Going downtown to look at some shit tonight No objections were made Everyone was well behaved So we scurried under the floorboards For growing boys I have one piece of advice: Stop looking You'll never find it But while you're here I'll just have another beer And we can learn to enjoy fear But not forever Metaphor at war with the personal That's what you like, isn't it The searchlights spray Our empty faces with life We dug up all the bodies There was poison in each one They kind of liked it then But no one seems to like it now The flesh I have one piece of advice for you: If you’re a growing flesh Then say it Then say it I am now done with thinking I am now done with thinking And while you’re here You always grow from fear And the disappearing faces of those that surround you Then while you're here I'll just have another beer The sculpture of creation But not forever

Seventeen Zero dream Laughing now I have seen The fast car slipping from the trails and crashing down Then the trails come crashing down Twenty-three One off dream River Man I have seen No release The memories When the memories come crashing down Gone all wasty Water rye Waterfall Effusively With pale skin Chamomile and hearth And chamomile Always busy being lost We persisted with no eyes I could not overcome I could not find light Because my sockets were empty And my mind was empty Just today Not a dream Mourning still Instant coffee I’m still here As the bags fill with air Enough Can't remember Can't remember the ride the same time Can't remember the ride the same time It is always so cold the same time It is always so cold the same time Walked back the nausea Fighting back the nausea Didn't have the time Didn't have the time You don’t have to look at it Game of tag you are it And I froze on the moon And I froze on the moon

I can’t run far I can’t run far I can’t run far I will always be found I will always be found Control Control We’re heading down the rails We’re wanting so much control Riding down the clock Control Give me control We’re riding down the clock Control control I’m eating off the knife And chewing the fucking ice If you want me to stay If you want me to stay I'll stay by your side I'll stay by your side And I want you to have me So I'll stay by your side

about

Will Life Reign Supreme Even In Death is Frege’s debut LP, being released digitally on The Flenser (Chat Pile, Have a Nice Life). Will Life is at its core an electronic record constructed with synthesizers, bass guitar, and field recordings of friends, construction sites, and wild animals. The instrumentals are accompanied by Frege’s sardonic lyrics that aim to capture the immediacy of a reality that is nearly solid to the touch. WIth hints of trip-hop and an undercurrent of noise, Will Life is HTRK meets NIN. The album delivers a potent dose of electronica, with PC Music-esque moments, and even pop leaning house, all providing a backdrop for Frege's caustic and darkly hilarious spoken word.

Will Life features additional vocals by Frege’s collaborators Zack Frederick and Nathan Burger (Cave Diver), who join Frege during Hand Model live performances. The track “Your Minds” is co-produced by Frege’s longtime collaborator and house producer Gloved Hands. The album art is by fellow The Flenser artist Kathryn Mohr and features a surreal photograph of a kitchen from yesteryear, laden with the anxiety that usually accompanies nostalgia.
