JustSomeMustard Mustard believes that Pacing is a creative genius. This EP taught Mustard's human employee to be less afraid of snakes. They, just like humans; want to keep to themselves, eat, and procrastinate on filing your taxes. Favorite track: Snakes are really good at squeezing into small spaces, just like the rodents they eat.

I don’t ever wanna ask Anyone for anything I don’t ever wanna know what Anybody thinks about me I’m burnt out On this human thing And I kinda wanna hide But I could never stay offline I could never die And I kinda wanna die But not in a way that you should find concerning Just the normal type Of not wanting to be alive And if you do then you’re a liar Sometimes I don’t ever wanna ask Anyone for anything I don’t ever wanna ask Anyone anything I don’t ever wanna talk to Anyone about anything But other than that... I wanna lay in the sun And shed off my skin And shed off the bad things About me And when I’m done I’ll have a new skin And a feeling…

In my dreams there's a hundred million snakes around me Under feet and chasing And it's hard to breathe There's something there inside Parasites Maybe a baby And I'm so scared and angry As I'm walking down the beach But I’m drowning in the sea And theres water all around me And there's a man with a knife Or a gun But it’s usually a knife And then it's spreadsheets And chess openings And traffic lights In Tallahassee But in real life snakes aren't angry Snakes aren't anything They are basically Like rocks or insects And they gotta eat So they’re very scary If you're a rat I’m real sorry And I forgot my bike on the bus again And I’m having trouble breathing With these traffic lights And alcohol And people and their animals But snakes aren’t angry Snakes aren’t anything They’re basically Did I get lost again Sorry I don’t know where I’m going I try to line them up By venom and toxicity Effectiveness of delivery But nothing’s quite as scary As what’s in my dreams But I'm not angry I am not afraid of anything Not guns or taxes You can use me Maliciously But if you're a rat It’s better you than me I can run real fast I'm real sorry

I'm a little burned out on pretty things I wish I had a better personality But things aren't always what they seem You want something soft and feathery And I'm all teeth I wanna hide under a rock In the dark, lately I don't really care what anybody thinks about me Visually I know I ain't much to look at But can you feel me Slithering In the dark, baby I don’t really care about much of anything But you’re the type to kill me And if you ever get lonely Just remember Snakes are all around you They’re just really good at hiding I would not recommend trying to kiss me But if you just need someone to keep you company You could try a rock Or an insect Or someone with Similar intellect And that would include me But you and I We’re gonna get along just fine Just as long as you promise Not to step on me But you can you feel me Slithering In the dark, baby I don’t really care about much of anything But you’re the type to kill me I know I know You can't even look at me You want to pretend I don't exist I make you want to throw up You want to hit me with a shovel You have to keep your eyes on me at all times Just to verify that I'm not hiding somewhere where I'll surprise you when you least expect it You call your boyfriend to get rid of me With a broom and a pillowcase and a copy of readers digest You can't go back to bed until you're sure I'm actually dead Well I don't want anything I didn’t even want to be here But Adam and Eve or whatever And I'm just trying to eat rats Are you telling me you’d rather have rats in the house than me Mostly I just want to be left alone Crawl around in your attic Just waiting to die

about

"Snake Facts" is a trio of informative songs about snakes that it turns out are actually not that informative, and are more about humanity, death, and taxes.

Grimy Goods described the release as "deceptively sardonic but emotionally gripping music."

www.grimygoods.com/2023/03/28/artists-you-should-know-pacing-snake-facts/

Music Shelf with Mustard wrote that "Pacing does a masterful job of humanizing a creature that some declare a monster."

Pacing San Jose, California

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). Despite her safety net of colorful characters, jokes, and metaphors, the real her always manages to slip in somewhere. ... more
