"There was this time when, you could, you could sit there... under the starlight, and The Witch would pass potions back and fourth and we would have a jolly time laughing... Seeing, strange miracles..." *spirits whirling* "I don't think anyone quite understands the loss of everyone I used to know, Why would they? They weren't there, they didn't do none of it, they didn't see half of it." *demons snarl* *Trashton's boots thud off*

"And you see the real reason why we needed to just exfiltrate from working with that devil all together was the goddamned train accident... We wasn't even fuly on the same understanding yet when we all waltzed in together and you're telling me... Mmhmm Yes, He blew up a whole goddamned train just for the fact of it, not even taking into account our plans - he just did it - that was, that should have been it Oh ho, but we was in for the ride, for we hadn't even saddled up."

There's no solace in the sun, there's no solace in any part of my life. I see my reflection in the water, in scattered mirrors - I see failure My scorn reminds me of the failure I brought upon my gang and my friends You find yourself in my valley? Do you understand the breadth of your consequences? Because I do. I repent, I remember the day I remember the sunrise when my friend walked away. We was building our town, and he dropped his hammer, cast his nails to the sand. "After everything we've done, after everything that's gone down," he said "Is the dream really still alive? Because to me it died." And beggin' I should have realized the error of my ways, the day Mr. Ramsey walked away... Ellison! ELLISON! Ellison you goddamned deserter. We stumbled onto this valley on a quest, to dismantle oppressions, on a quest to defy greed. Ellison you goddamned witch! Ellison you goddamned deserter. He introduced me to a whole new realm, to me here proved that there is... more than the world before my eyes. That the world between notes, between songs, the world between lives - exists. That witch killed me and brought me back to life! We brought a demon to the real world - and he chooses to run away. I promise retribution upon your soul. I seek retribution on you Ellison for you brought Andy Rocko to this valley. You killed me, and you brought us, L Guapo and I back to the mortal realm. We put our trust in the devil and look at where it brought us! I placed my trust in demon, that will not happen again. I placed my trust in a witch, a witch and that won't happen again. Huh, no. I looked into Andy's chaos, I looked that fiery demon in the eyes like the barrel of a shotgun - your threat looms - and to you I promise a new eternal death - Andy Rocko I will burn you asunder. This Is My dream. We came unto this valley on a quest, to destroy oppression, to defy greed. This is my dream! A dream free of America. A dream free of all imperialists. For ours' is a scared land. And the leaders of so called free society choose to side with the industrialists, the leaders of free society choose greed over freedom. I choose to hunt that down till the end of the Earth. Thunder rips across the horizon the terrible scorch of a devil unleashed but no longer will it stand in the way of my will - Let Bonner Valley be a testament to my will - begone with your evil America. For This Is My Dream. There are madmen. Madmen I declare in charge of the future. And to them I say no! For This Is My Dream - This is my future and my friends might have walked away but that's not gonna stop me, For This Is My Dream I'm gonna dismantle the arms of oppression I'm gonna undermine greed. This is what freedom - is meant to be. I see my reflection and though I may hate myself for the sins I've committed against my friends, America is knocking on my door. And until I die or until I find eternal life I will fight IT to the END. For This Is My Dream

"I've still not fully espoused quite why, ya see even after that Witch left, we still ran around.. with The Devil... Mr. Ramsey and I... I guess he just figured out a little sooner than I, I think we both want that Devil dead now, But... Knowing I let him slide a little longer, I wouldn't be surprised... If my old friend... Found me at the end of the barrel of his revolver... And the only reason I didn't end up that way is because he ran away."

"And so of course, don't let me get it twisted - Andy Rocko - I want to burn that memory more than the rest, for the simple fact... that I should have died and never met him. I'm willing to accept the world I live in, but that Witch, those spirits showed me this devil."

about

Raught unto the day - times change as do the ideas that which drive each individual living breathing soul - As known the Trashton gang is dead, "CAST TO BE KINDLING," serves as Trashton's living monument to the fact that without it the world we know simply wouldn't be.

The Days Before were filled with great self implored ignorance - perhaps a brighter or wizened spirit may have foretold and avoided such entropy - yet this is a tale of terror and growth, self love against the odds of the troubled mind. It defies age, by means it is something of a coming of age.

The Trashton gang is dead - yet Trashton lives more free and excited than ever, electrified by their will, a never ending necessity to succeed the architects of industry, government. Bonner Valley, by choice is under their leadership in the wake of the gang's dispersal.

Indeed yes for a moment The Trashton gang may have ceased to exist; but the deserters know more than Trashton themselves; the will to strike against oppression will never die - Trashton seeks an end to it, they are the vector.

Beware to all the conduits of evil.

"I will fight it until the end."


** This album was recorded during different sessions, mostly alone at The Apohadion Theater between 12/16/22 and 2/2/23. Some tracks were recorded directly to a Maxwell UR Type I Tape on the Tascam Portastudio 2 - extracted through my interface whilst others were recorded onto the computer through said interface - Minimal editing was applied to achieve a desirable affect across all tracks **
