  • CD in Recycled Jewel Case
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Classic hand-mand, home-burned Pacing CD in a recycled jewel case.

    Made from pressed flowers, plastic sushi grass, and misc garbage.

    Features the iconic bead letters spine (a la snake facts) so it kinda doubles as a fidget toy.

    Note that these jewel cases are not perfect!! They might be scratched and wonky but they are real AND genuine and pretty cool people once you get to know them, imo

about

Sometimes it's so hard to do anything. There are all these possibilities of things I could do but I can't seem to get started. And then it feels like it's too late.

Also, the farther I drive from my house the more stressed I get cause I know I’ll have to drive back and I hate driving. It’s like accumulating debt.

lyrics

Let's sit around all day
And get in everybody's way
Sink into the ground and form a new society
I never really liked this one anyway

I wanna go outside
But I’m terrified
It might be cold or too hot or too radioactive
it's fine
But why would you lie?
Again
I want to go to the store
Get in the car
And drive down the hill
But that’s way too far
I feel every mile in my gut like elastic
Pulling me back
Plus we might get in a wreck
And I’d be paralyzed
For the rest of my life
So I’d be stuck inside
Well, I guess that'd be alright

I wanna go for a walk
But I don’t but I don’t have a dog
So everyone will know that I’m lying about
Going for a walk
About picking my foot up
And putting it back down
And picking my foot up
And putting it down on the sidewalk

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

I wanna get out of bed
But I can't touch the ground
You'd think all this concrete would be dry by now
I'd get stuck in place
Making this same stupid face
On my government-issued ID
(They say "smile for the camera"
But you're always too late)
And I look like a statue inside a museum
or a painting in some rich person's living room
There's something off
About the eyes

I wanna go outside
But not tonight

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
