I've got a chronic condition A melancholy affliction It's a strange low position But it's by my own volition Cause I choose to pay attention And so now Well I'm feeling down, down, down I'm feeling Well I'm feeling down Well I'm feeling down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down I've got a chronic condition A melancholy affliction It's a strange low position But it's by my own volition Cause I choose to pay attention Oh, oh, oh, and so now Well I'm feeling down, down, down I'm feeling down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down

He's a tragic character because he's so determined But he always fails, but still doesn't give up Though he does almost always fail That's why he's very determined Oh, Alister, you very determined dwarf hamster you Hamster rhymes with Amster Damn this hamster smokes some dank bud He's not a cow, so he doesn't chew cud He lives in a palace known only as Hamsterdam Climbing those walls, those bars, chewing on seeds Endlessly, endlessly Oh, Alister, you very determined dwarf hamster you Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round and round Alister, the very determined dwarf hamster Alister, the very determined dwarf hamster He falls and it looks painful But he's determined and he doesn't care He's also really light So his body doesn't have enough mass to hurt him with inertia But regardless, he's still really determined He likes to roll around in a giant ball You know, like the singer of the Flaming Lips He also likes broccoli a lot I don't know if the Flaming Lips like broccoli Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round and round He's so angsty that sometimes he bites But if you give him some kettle corn, he will be nice He tries and tries and tries and fails most of the time But still tries and sometimes succeeds Yes, sometimes But if you stay in school You can get some kettle corn and success (He's one of us) Do you hear that? That popping sound is the sound of success (Pop, pop, pop goes success) Yes, success Pop, pop, pop That's your name they're calling Remember the lesson of Alister the very determined dwarf hamster Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round and round Climbing those walls, those bars, chewing on seeds Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly Oh, Alister, you very determined dwarf hamster you Round and round and round Spinning round and round and round and round and round and round Climbing those walls, those bars, chewing on seeds Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly

You sold your soul for a car, bus, train, plane The pain of which you have yet to see plainly You squeezed yourselves inside the dreams You saw displayed on silver screens Though you have no idea what they mean Open up your eyes You're being taken for a ride You traded in your youth In an effort to seem oh so couth To appease the corporate sleaze And you just ended up old, but not wise Open up your eyes You're being taken for a ride They're transporting you They're transporting you Do you even care where you are headed? You're being taken for a ride Open up your eyes and take a look around You're being taken for a ride Would you just open up your eyes?

about

Kinjac Asheville, North Carolina

Southern gothic anti-pop for sad citizens of the dystopia.

Kinjac is the solo project of music producer MG O'Shea.

Bandcamp Daily’s editorial director wrote “O’Shea is comfortable in the darkness. The music he makes as Kinjac exists in shadow, using the structures of industrial and dark ambient music as a backdrop for investigating life’s tragedies and big, unanswerable questions."
