lyrics

271 miles to Spokane, Washington, from Seattle. Filthy Jerry didn’t mind the distance, seat-springs or the way that the sun curled it’s flaming fingers around his ears and face halfway there and started talking filthy in a huge, encompassing whisper. What he minded was the unsanitary methods of the lone diner he stopped at in Quincy, Washington, whose primary export is despair.
As the sun spread his dirty fire over cement and scrub-brush alike, it wasn’t inside, under draining halogen that eggs were cooked. It was the pavement. No butter, even. Right there, parking spaces 4-7. You could only get the eggs scrambled, and bacon burnt. Grown farmers wept openly at the sight of chicken progeny, charred and crusty on their plate.
Filthy Jerry had known hopelessness-- in janitor closets and hostels wherein he got his nickname—but never had cement felt so much like glue, had the existence of sky seemed to mock everyone. The horizon means nothing with it’s ubuiquity. His love was waiting somewhere inland, at a diner with stoves and fans ane people who wouldn’t dream of shedding tears. She would either propose to him right there, or he’d find her with a man who’d never been to Quincy.

Freeway Park Seattle, Washington

Much like the city park it is named after, Freeway Park the band aimed at being a structured, brutalist space with flashes of grace and beauty, but more often than not ends up dirty, slightly dangerous, and full of drunk people.
