Changes 02:36
Some twenty years old And tired sick As painful as it is I've watched The gears move You are not alone in this we are not alone in this It changes Please, don't break me out I don't make sense anymore We don't make sense anymore You are not alone in this We are not alone in this I am not alone in this We are not alone in this

Isolation 02:49
Still alive But I can't tell what they're saying We can't trust in no one anymore This city looks like smiling teeth Waking up doesn't matter If you don't know how to live Wasting my body This is so easy We all live here We deserve this In all In all the time that I've been given I've seen nothing stand On its own I think I should help but I can't feel a thing down here I think I should help but I can't feel a thing down here Behind these walls (We can't trust in no one anymore) Behind these walls (This city looks like smiling teeth) Behind these walls (Waking up doesn't matter If you don't know how to live) Behind these walls (I think I should help but I can't feel a thing down here) Behind these walls (I think I should help but I can't feel a thing down here) Behind these walls Behind these walls

Summer Song 03:32
Sun's been after me these days In Texas summer losing my breath Harsh and punishing, for 1000 days I Always wanna scream Death comes at my door and asks For the kid with nothing left Ancient and in debt, for 1000 years I Get what I deserve Sun's been after me these days In Texas summer losing my breath Harsh and punishing, for 1000 days I Always wanna scream

As close as I can As close as I can Without your power, your light, your fears There isn't anything here Go on and change our minds There is no plan We have broken from the hive Simple, young and happy Just like my mother would want Standing still under the same sun As close as I can As close as I can Without your power, your light, your fears There isn't anything here

I may be lying when I say I do not miss you when you're gone But I still love you Yeah I still need you and your words and all your clothes And all the things that are beneath you I listened to our record on our way back from a state I do Not know too much about I thought that I was ready for the sounds but really I just wanted to you to laugh out loud I really believed I had made my way back home But really, who knows if that's ever gonna come We were just visiting then We were just visiting then Most days I just sit around and dream of something that I think may be worth working for I spend my hours on a screen that may be where we are all headed Or are moving towards And without silence or a sound, I am left wading in the middle Of a great unseen Monument that shakes the dust and forgets anyone of us was ever clean I really thought I was so close to something else But really, who knows if there's anything in there We were just visiting then We were just visiting then

All I See 03:27
Then my mind checks out Dead without a doubt Overwhelmed by all the little sounds Letting time pass by Is mostly what I do It's mostly who I am All I see Just static on a screen Empty of anything I'm so far off the track It's been so long since I last tried I don't think that I could realign It turns to boredom It turns to anger I am its captive A native after all All I see Just static on a screen empty of anything All I need Some kind of company I'll never believe in

Sucker 04:33
On my knees At the temple doors I weep Sold my soul so long ago To a demon I don't know And what do I have to show for it? A fiber connection and emptiness Impossible to know if it was worth it If I don't get to try again Oh, the years all keep piling on But these days I just stay at home Every day is a new one And I stay the old one I have friends in spades My heart melts all day Don't know what to say I'm a sucker for what you have got If you sell to me, I'm your man Little moments come I forget the worst I'm at peace at last It's the little things Wish they were bigger things I think it would hurt less On my bed I stare at the ceiling fan For at least twenty minutes a day Or the wall instead Just something steady there to keep me sane Called you up just the other day to hear your voice Glad you're doing fine in these strange times, glad you have a choice It's unfair and it's ugly and it hurts You are there, I am here It's the worst

Superficial 02:34
Invited nowhere I am So superficial I am So fucking scared I am Always scared I am Not my proudest work I am Not my proudest work I am Not my proudest work I am not I am not I am not I am not I'm never gonna leave the house I don't wanna live, don't wanna die I'm a trash bag blowing in the wind I am beautiful I'm beautiful I'm beautiful I'm beautiful Like a hermit I am Never moving I am So superficial I am Always tired I am A work in progress I am A work in progress I am A work in progress I am not I am not I am not I am not I'm never gonna leave the house I don't wanna live, don't wanna die I'm a trash bag blowing in the wind I am beautiful I'm beautiful I'm beautiful I'm beautiful

Consume 02:10
I wanna tear out all the corporations from my skin And live a forest life away from all this obvious sin I think you're evil I think you're all so fucking evil Let go of the currency that you put value in And carry all my doubts behind some great god awful grin I'm clocking in And taking it with me where ever I go I'm never leaving it at home Cuz home is just a construct That I'm taking back And love's just an economy And it's getting away from me I wanna fight it, fight it, fight it With all the energy I don't have With all the weight that I carry on my back I'm only human I think And I bet that's not the only lie they sold me Filling out scraps of paper Alone, waiting in lines The beast says, "Take a number" While it's taking over Meanwhile, I'm so excited for the sun to leave Cuz I get so sad in the heat Consume Consume Consume Consume
10.
I guess we're pretty lucky If I really stop to think about it Please stop with the questions It's nothing Really nothing Empty handed words Carry me away to someone I once thought I might wanna be But it's gotten so far away from me Getting kicked again In my glass shins I'm nothing in this path That I picked myself Taking steps so slow It's turning me to sand And I can't stand On my own no more Once turned to dust It takes its hold Oh no It shows And weighs on me like diamonds And now I know There's nothing I can say to Slow it down

about

I recorded this near the beginning of quarantine, well before we knew how long it would last. It's named Inti Raymi after the Inca celebration of Inti, the sun god. I chose this title for two reasons that kind of circle each other. First, the album (to me) is about accepting who you are and what you are. Celebrating the sun as a god is an interesting idea to me because it cements me as a human on earth. What more logical god than the literal celestial body we spin around? It felt right and grounding to me. Second, I wanted to celebrate the idea. I liked limiting myself to my humanity and seeking out answers not from mystic places or faith, but from what was given to me and what was at hand. I wanted to learn to celebrate myself in my current state without the distraction of what I would like to become. So, that's kind of what the album is about. It's about a lot of other things too, but that's what I think about when I listen to it now. I hope you like it.

-Gianni
