More about 'Twelve Months':
On the first of each month in 2018 we are assigned 3 randomly selected restraints and have to write a song, record it, film it and release it before the end of that month. At the end of month 12, all of the songs will be remastered for a full-length with some B-Sides. We drew extra restrictions for May and let people vote on which 3 to go with, we'll be doing that a few more times!

LYRICS:
Stretchers and
Nurses and
You just sit there waitin
Coin in and
Food out and
Pattern goes on repeatin'
You'll eat whatever
You can find here
The hours
Tick by and
Still you are left here guessin'
If they are even
Still alive
Pace in a circle waitin'
And curse these fluorescent lights
No News Is Good News they say
you'll break that door with your eyes
The doctor said she'd be a while
But you need those questions answered so you hold on
The sun and moon have come and gone
But on the bright side
The cafeteria opens soon
It's been sixteen hours
When's someone gonna tell me something
Anything
I don't even need details
Sixteen hours
When's someone gonna tell me something
Anything
I don't even need details
Sixteen hours
When's someone gonna tell me something
Anything
I don't even need details
Sixteen hours
It's been sixteen hours
It's been sixteen
Hours
Pace in a circle waitin'
And curse these fluorescent lights
No News Is Good News they say
you'll break this door with your eyes
