Shellfish Ambition

See Dub You Right out of the gate the clever and complex songwriting is very appealing. As the record expands from track to track you get a sense of being on a journey with the entire album. Not in a concept album sense. But more of connection to the raw emotion of each song. I think it's a great listen.

I've got a dick in my head telling me what I should do I shouldn't listen to it but I tend to A little dick in my head keeps saying I am no good And I'm starting to believe that it's true I used to watch all my favorite shows To relax and forget problems But now I can't seem to remember what the last episode Was about bcuz I'm preoccupied With this dick in my head eating away at my brain It makes it harder for me to enjoy things Twisting around what I said and rearranging my words So later on they will come back to destroy me I used to be moved and inspired by song As if music could solve all my problems But lately I don't feel like singing along I'm distracted and preoccupied With this fucking dick in my head petty and selfish and rude Always dwelling on the negative aspects Can't be ignored so instead I'll let it dictate my mood I might as well just be another dickhead

It's my fault, I completely dropped the ball, I really meant to keep in touch, But I think I think too much, And you wouldn't understand It's not right, I stay awake all night, Reminiscing about fond old friends, That I'll never see again, Because I suck at making plans How long has it been? Used to be my friend Reaching out, Isn't what this is about, And this isn't an apology, It's a reverse eulogy, In no memory of myself Its not like, I don't see you all the time, Though it's only a computer screen, I can see how you're doing, And we never have to talk Blame myself, Might as well blame time as well, It won't allow us to go back, And it's why I'm losing track, Of people that I love Out of sight and mind, Happens every time

Sore Subject 04:32
Not so friendly anymore Not go-lucky like I was before I guess I'm sore Thought this day would never come Or if it did it would be more fun I guess I'm done You can say it with a smile or with a frown Doesn't matter when you're letting people down Getting gobbled by the madness all around Everybody will surely die But we still act surprised every time Sun is always in my eyes Often I wish that it would not shine Or I was blind Though I've clearly lost my mind I still know if I have crossed the line I did this time

I have spent most of my life wasting time on things that don't matter, At the time it sure seems like what I'm doing Is so important, I will roam aisles of stores looking for a decent shower curtain, And I'll keep putting my socks and shoes on until I'm certain, I can't leave my house until I find my keys but where did I put them? Fuck I do this every time because I never pay attention, I've been told I'm not the butt of some joke but I think I might be, I would spend time with my friends if wasn't for social anxiety
6.
Apologize, For everything a million times, It doesn't make anything better, A compromise, Is not ideal for either side, So promises aren't forever, It's no surprise, I didn't see it happening, I didn't know it could happen, But now I'm wise, I see that human beings are just Filthy creatures of habit, Though it's hard to realize, You will understand in time, Cross my heart hope to die, Stick a needle in my eye, A sudden change, In nature and philosophy, Will bring a brand new dynamic, It's often strange, It's often unpredictable, It's awful hard not to panic, An awkward end, Without a resolution, And I'll always be second-guessing, We won't be friends, We won't be bitter enemies, And neither of us learned a lesson, Though it's hard to realize, You will understand in time, Cross my heart hope to die, Stick a needle in my eye.

Pseudo Lucid 05:04
Like it's a dream But it seems Like it's really happening When I'm not there I don't care I am always everywhere I can't tell time Or I might Just not be seeing clocks right Can't see my hands So I can't Tell if I am still human

Algorhythms 04:05
You got nothing to say You say it anyway Several times everyday Notifications exploding On account of it I don't know what to say I can't articulate How it sounds in my brain Maybe I better delete it Or change privacy Everybody complains About everything Slowly going insane Algorithms are taking All my friends away Do you actually care About the shit you share Are you even aware Everyone already saw that Stupid video You claim everyone's fake But you won't take a break Until after you make Sure everyone knows you still can Check your Instagram Everybody complains About everything Slowly going insane Algorithms are taking All my friends away

We are not Short on time It's the start Of our future Got at least One thing right We're meant to Be together When things weren't Very good We knew they Would get better Because we Understood We're meant to Be together Oh, I love you so I know you know But in case you don't Yes, I promise (I love you) We will live Every day Until it's Been forever There's not much More to say We're meant to Be together Somehow, I love you now More than I did Last time I said Yes, I promise

It happens all the time so noticing the differences is harder every time I try to remember The pain grows slow in my head branching off into my body filling me With analytical nonsense Today's intrusive thoughts create the unforgiving loss of everything I thought of to begin with It tends to pull me down but flashes of me being better make it worth Continuing to be myself It takes some effort to enjoy myself in social situations when my Mind is louder than anything else that I hear I make an effort to keep smiling and acting like I am not thinking About something horrible You probably think I make it up or I exaggerate but maybe Something's wrong with my brain

Yo .. (What?) .. We doin this .. (Doin what?) .. Two thousand eighteen .. (That's the year what's the significance?) My name is SLEEPYSEAHORSE .. But I don't live in the sea and I'm not a horse .. I'm not endorsed by aquatics or equestrians .. I don't swim yo I'm a pedestrian .. By the name of SLEEPYSEAHORSE .. More than a clever name bcuz it isn't clever .. It's a musical endeavor that never got me any fame .. What the fuck y'all thought it was lame? .. I'm done playing the game .. Getting little to no response .. Look I know that I'm no Beyonce .. But I'm still a diva and a dream believa .. But my dreams be dying y'all .. I ain't be lying y'all .. Feel like I'm out of time past my prime and I never made a dime .. But still I'm SLEEPYSEAHORSE Call me sleepy but I'm W O K E .. Tired of being treated like a joke .. (Tired of being broke) .. Tired of being shit on .. Kept a lid on while you got the credit .. You thought it got to me but I didn't let it .. A challenge and I met it but I didn't win .. It doesn't matter if you say it no one's listenin .. And anymore it's the equivalent of a participant award for SLEEPYSEAHORSE .. Lotta reasons to complain .. Like going totally insane .. Inside my brain buncha gremlins multiplyin .. Gizmo in my heart's gonna try and fight em .. But the lights be bright and all .. The mogwais be frightened y'all .. Stories for another day bcuz there's still so much I have to say about SLEEPYSEAHORSE Haha yeah I'm fucking with this shit again .. See the latest trend and I won't do it .. Hitched your wagon to my star and then I blew it .. Or I threw it away to stay the same ..Bcuz that's how I roll .. So I best be paid in full .. So how bout you and all your friends chippin in on a kickstarter for SLEEPYSEAHORSE Haha yeah .. I told y'all I wrote a rap song .. Hell I might even write another .. All I gotta do is think of some more shit that rhymes with SLEEPY .. SEAHORSE

about

Sleepy Seahorse's inspirational concept album 'Shellfish Ambition' marks the culmination of an historic and epically shitty emotional journey that asshole life forced on Joey Corsentino in the calendar year 2018, taking him from cheerful and supportive small-time musician, to pathetic and bitter chump musician, then finally to delusional and innovative performance artist music creator .... (Basically I had a rough year and I sat in a closet-sized home recording studio by myself a lot and recorded an album, big whoop I know - JC)
