Look at me I’ve gone and made a scene Just look at me Little feelings got me down A hundred hours Spent looking so I’ll care A hundred hours So my feelings will be there Look at me I’m stuck inside my head A day well spent In shackles by my bed Little feelings Crammed inside my brain Little feelings To lock them down I’ve trained (keyboard solo)

Faint The march goes on Parade and stomp Until the earthly dawn A cage I’m locked inside I will not die Until he’s satisfied Craters have formed beneath my feet What does it all mean? My letters end in T Belay us in our great time of need What does it all mean? (keyboard solo) Craters have formed beneath my feet What does it all mean? My letters end in T Belay us in our great time of need What does it all mean?

Saturday is when we met All day we had tiny tiny adventures On Mother’s Day, we played our chutes and ladders Until I caught a cold And ate some fruit flavored gummies until the pain went away

Step back, take a second to relax. Cousin Eric got a taste for some micro-rap. It’s jazz, I’m gonna go enact pizazz ‘Katraz kablam command a dance another mass like Smack, it’s come around full stop Making references to more pop than aesop. Tick tock, dog’s not the best pet so what’s next A good old Tyrannathesaurus rex You see, I’m a special kinda woman I loving what you got, but I hating what you doing In chains, I move the best when I hold Grenades, a truce caress a tie bolden Cause your fedora goes along the neck like you’re an armoured skeptic got a god infection hah Don’t forget that with the wrong intention Comes a wrongful tension cause in the end small minds think alike Hey Richard (yup?) good, you gonna take a break From music that’s dense for density’s sake Ya' haven't been good since back in 1994 a bore For anyone who stopped at SAW IV Since Tobin went and seized at the end of three, YMS called it a conclusive trilogy So clip clop in time, get a little equine, Collect all of your messages and think to rewind. You see, I’m a special kind of woman I can see through the shit and know what I’m doing With brains, I move the best when I hold Grenades, a truce caress a tie bolden Cause your fedora goes along the neck like you’re an armoured skeptic got a god infection hah Don’t forget that with the wrong intention Comes a wrongful tension cause in the end small minds think alike

When I was young, I said that I’d change the whole world, Well that’s not happened yet, but will tomorrow be the same? I’m skidding on fumes left over from my past life, But I haven’t died yet, it’s these tiny virtues keeping me alive It’s these tiny virtues keeping me alive. When I was young, I told my mother I’m done With learning anything practical or secure with time. I’m jealous of those as passioned as me, But in something that works, it’s these tiny virtues keeping me alive. It’s these tiny virtues keeping me alive. When I’m all done with this material life, I’ll travel the world seeing all that I’ve done. I’m skidding on fumes left over from my past life, But I haven’t died yet, it’s these tiny virtues keeping me alive It’s these tiny virtues keeping me alive.

Small Hopes 03:21
I put on coffee, I hope you like it strong There’s not much milk, I hope you take it black One day I’ll break out of this mold I’ve sewn myself It’s not too late, I can bring some life to you

Small Rivers 03:48
You drove me home and while I slept you played me music I’d never heard before And I dreamt of good things You woke me up I pulled my weight You told me one day that I would be able to dream again And I slept a good sleep

"A collection of pop tunes for dogs and other gentle creatures to jam out to."
- Patricia Taxxon

At the time of releasing this album, Patricia is celebrating her birthday. Not only a new year for her, but a new year that has just dawned and should be refreshing for everyone else. In this, Patricia has come to start, improve, and indent a new chapter into her ever-expanding discography: songwriting. With The Anthill, Patricia creates what she likes to call “micropop”, an album that could almost, if not entirely, be summed up by the cover; cute aesthetics which Patricia tends to derive her work from. Soft, playful keyboard tones, filtered, cleverly tinny vocals, and pop tunes that are kind to the ears as they are kind to the littlest of pets. Happy Birthday to Patricia, and happy listening to everyone else.

Recorded and Produced between November 9th, 2016 to January 2nd, 2017.

All Production, Recording: Patricia Taxxon
