We'll gouge your eye out for burning us in the daylight for we are all one one-ton flying ham so Helios close your mouths now. Flutter under cloudtops in the pondmilk. We'll devour you from inside. We→I Where did my murder go? I...uh...I did not prepare for this They've shown no bravery before, though Soft sand dressed up as stone A caustic stink curdles and croaks inside my throat. No, it won't be easy, but I could die a hero! So [kcuf] all ten hundred of you then! When I kill I'll kill alone. Over Tellurium, like an atom in a pond, something is pressing me down. Well... I guess resistance is to be expected from thatTHATthat... I need to watch my wing. Omnikiller and king, surely you know that I'm here, but I can't die today. The air is far too thin. Somethin' inside my skin moves and then it's better. I feel dizzy. I'm out of oxygen. It's getting hard to think now.

I can't die, for some reason. Is that you? It doesn't seem like you... It's got too many eyes. This little pig went to the sun. This little pig should have stayed home. This little DON'T YOU TELL ME TO STOP. Wait! This is the best part... I am going to die. We are all going to die. Light beam all spit in my eye. We are all going to die.

Citrine field ablaze Illusory gaze Stretching out interminably Tangerine esca Oh, I see the scorch marks Grasping the wood box of flies (and it's mine!) My tongue ached for your eye Bacon atmospheres A fishy ooze pools at my hooves mixing with Your fire spit pulls me slithering down your tongue into your neck Vitreous warmth and sweaty grip I am SLUDGECRIME But a breath keeps churning in my air-mind Though my eyes are burning Scratching out, falling, plants, grows back again Alive I have invented a game called Numbers Game It makes the ages and every second feel the same So drink hellfire, it tastes like wine But it won't put out the Thames Why did I think I would? You are not the creature that I thought you were I am MUDSWINE But a breath keeps churning in my mind Though my eyes are burning Scratching out, falling, plants grow back again And VENUS DIES And the cage and I self-sanguinize Eyes wither, grow, but slower as that hole expands within Ah! ah! ah! A-a-ah! A-a-a-ah! Ah! ah! ah! A-a-ah! A-a-ah! I am SNOTCHYME Knotted capsullaries choke my heart It won't start Wireframe flame lapping the blood that sits at my feet Will we ALL DIES? I would rather not do that again so me ALL LIVES Blank heat sphere's walls collapse in gripping me With OPEN EYES And I steal the red and speed my mind I'm all's left, all right Heaven's teeth spew out in chunks on me And a BLACK EYE winks to me all hammy Eat me, spuming mouth of darkness Supermassive sucker angel hair

Flutter 05:57
Churning back through time. White void open wide. Pulling at the eye, I glance. I'm born again. All the world is an alien bread underneath hoof these. Melted down with no longer a body-mind, only with mind-body. In my mind, in a painting, some butter flies, flitting its wings from me. Blows a kiss and all airs turn to sand on me (fluttering beige-ish leaves). I am the absence, I'm hot chemical, and I'm on fire, but I don't feel a thing at all; it's numb, an empty dull. Let me be butter. Butter is a whole. It swiftly flies. I don't move an inch, a greasy dark singularly wet bone. Flutter hard, but it don't really change a thing; can't even feel these wings. Flutter hard, but the ache doesn't go away; freezing the lefthoof stain. Shifting cracks in a skull I no longer have screws in the inner eyes, and how I think of how graceful butter flies. Butter can flutter high. Shape this sculptured head, but not stone I dread. Stuck to the breadvas. Nothing I can do but sleep in-and-out. (breaEA-aeE!Aeathe) Stuck to the bread, I heal and I want to be butter instead. (breaEA-aeE!Aeathe) Breathe in my kind-of-almost-miracle. Oh, shan't I die? Why don't you put me back in the museum with other flies? Breathe out my spine, almost clerical, and I'm on fire. A caterpillar in the mud gets up. Look! He's all dressed! Catter imagines painted statuettes. They're all of him (the future him who will be beautiful butter in rain.) And all I can ponder in stony cocoon is that I... I truthfully don't like the taste of milk, so take me home. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to push off here. There's no air to breathe in. Strength crawls out between dry ribs, keep my metaphysics in. There's no warmth inside me left. There's no air to breathe in.

Static 05:40
cast myself a new trace... an unfamiliar face... you are me... Try not to remember. Just try to become her. Set fire to the statue. Pretend that it's not you. I don't want to go to bed... I want to stay in my head... my daydream... Pig dreams of a sailor. She dreams of a failure. Try not to remember. Just try to see past the cave where shadows sway. Why don't they please just go away? Fuck off away. Century spanning is improbable, so flutter away. Flying pigs are plain impossible. Sleep wandering shadow cries, "it's too much every night." Caffeine lick my veins. I don't want to sleep again. wick flame rises brand new sizes does it even matter anymore? I will dive in deep in the cave and finally block out the sun. Fuel nightmares deep into the dark flooding sea where I will die (self-sacrifice). Block out the cave where all dreams are made. Let me win. Pull me in. Hermit crab is staring at me with fantasy danced in its eyes I never knew. They’re all greenish blue. Eyes go thin. Crabby spin! Hermit crab is smiling at me, villainous grin, cackling yak, approaches he, brandishing his claws. Evil grin. Happy to sin. Hermit crab is dancing on me. As I give in, lungs out of air, he smiles at me brandishing a knife. Hermit crab is looking at me, and I don't mind it. Hermit crab is smiling at me, and I return it. Hermit crab is dancing on me. I think he's shining. Hermit crab is stabbing my chest. I breathe a final sigh of relief, but then it dies in. Wake up with a start where's the bed, but I can't find it Static is the hole in my head, and I'm reminded the shadows cast the world from inside it, not the opposite. I see you. I swear I do. Have I seen you before? I swear it's you.

Rotting log Disintegrating bog Headless mare Tempestuous northern air Violent swinging Chokes on the wire Eyes shutter Says no more And dies Arms hang long, insensible Oh, make me Holy; I’m defective, I’m told Like a sneeze that peters and dies, hate-fueled love splinters Hypoventilation Know it doesn’t really- “Talking doll, I’m growing far too old. Please let me hear you again. The skull that does contain you is shrinking, and the sinew is snapping. You can break the stones away. Carve a door from dreams and wake.” Silent stare Disintegrating prayer Heedful mare The mind has disappeared I would scream if I had the air, but I don’t think I care... (fair) Oxygen's so tricky to find Hate left hope lonely Leave your soul lying dead (voiceless) Like a sneeze that peters alive I’m dying If only that were true Anyway Know, it doesn’t really matter It doesn’t really matter Oxygentle shatter me bones Oh, kiss me sorely sobbing And tear through my eye (Voiceless) Peel the dry blood caking my lungs Oh god unholy (OH GOD UNHOLY) HyperventElation Bled memory You swallow me Inside a healing case Irrevery You follow me It was worth Heaven Ephemery Still betters me Knocked in a new wind in my sail-of-sea Unhollow me with renewed levin The mind, emotion born in the mind Delight, uprising fast and filled Golden the cup, I drink it up And breathe my spirit in Heaven is near to mind, Delight of the mind Look on the light and make me clear To purge a soul and cleanse it of the dust inside a hole Heaven

Still Life 06:19
Twin sun familiar Did I die inside her? Blue sphere of clay, of dirt A big-time designer It's not that far and it's pulling me in Might be better than where I are if it's Earth in its infantile form A bluish crab, inside out bovidae A man with three eyes, six limbs, hollow hole for his head Material's visible from the ditch in the clay And all of these things they are, they're more statue than dead The planet is covered in your tracks It's just another day when I will find you Stop slacking off Sketchbook divinity, eighty eyes per paper Ink skin with scribbles in, but sand makes bad creatures The brabby things infest every page Redolent without blink with no hermits in head I know what more you have undone It's just another day when I will find you Stop slacking off You haven't discovered what we need So it's just another day when I will find you Stop slacking off Just another day 'til one dies And it will be me, so good bye Say "good bye!"

The March 03:03
I've been here ten thousand years and haven't found a door. The typewriter's run out of ink but clicks just like before. Hands pressed down, the keys are saws, and soon the moon will wane. I fear that I may never die, and only I'm to blame. Father pendulum could point to any book or brab, and when it does he'll point to me, and maybe we'll confab. Thence from throat, out of my reach, he'll choke up butter knives, and I will smile as he attacks and let go of my life.

Who are you, the shadow that has locked me here? Eyes so blue, reflecting sky that isn't clear. I'm perpetual machine that watches every corner gleam to see if something moves at all. Can't discern the dreams from life. They're set the same and nothing changes in all the horses I've recalled. Who are you? I thought that you would soon be here. Nothing moves. I can no longer track the years. Who are you, and can't we get this over with? Omni eyes stop staring and come out to fight. Here comes the man with eyes. Each time, I see him melt, and he's closer to the ground. This time, he quakes and falls. He falls. There goes the man with eyes. Light shine ahead. Light glow in. Light go dead. Seemly real. Seemly not. As above, so inside her. Screecht, like a pin as it falls to the floor, like an itch that the dirt scratches at violently. Falling up gravityless. Lack of wet. Lack of air. Lack of whet. Lack of air. NOW FREEZE, FEARFUL FREAK. DON'T TRY TO RUN AWAY. HOW DO YOU MOVE AUTONOMOUSLY? UGLY RESEMBLANCE TO MY CLAY, I CAN PERCEIVE YOU. SO DON'T TRY TO HIDE IN THE PAINTINGS OR BETWEEN THE STATUES. I'D NEVER DECEIVE YOU. JUST TELL ME YOUR SECRETS. COOPERATE. JUST TRUST THE LORD OF STARDUST. STAY. STAY. GOOD. WAIT. AW, NOW YOU'RE STUCK IN A HOLE. REALLY I LIED. I DECEIVED YOU. I JUST WANNA GET A LOOK AT YOUR SOUL BECAUSE I DON'T RECOGNIZE IT. AND I CAN'T GET HOW YOU WORK. TELL ME NOW WHERE YOU CAME FROM. OVERCOMPLICATED TANGLE OF WIRES. I THINK I NEED TO LOOK CLOSER. STOP YOUR SHAKING AND YOUR MICTURITION. I ONLY CARE ABOUT YOUR COMPOSITION. ODD TINY BOXES ALIGN INSIDE, WRIGGLE AROUND, CONTROL AND FORM A WHOLE. THEY'RE SEMI INDEPENDENT BEINGS WITHOUT A SOUL, ONLY MECHANICAL. EYES CONNECT TO MACHINE WET, POOR FUNCTION AND POOR FORM, AN INEFFICIENTLY WASTEFUL DESIGN CRAVING EXCESS. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE. YOU ARE A MOCKERY. SO I WANNA MAKE A SWIFT DECISION: YOU WON'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE EXHIBITION, SO GET READY FOR A DEMOLITION. HAPHAZARD BASTARD DON'T SING. DON'T TRY TO HIDE YOUR THOUGHTS. I HEAR THEM BURBLING. YOU'VE COME TO KILL ME, I KNOW. HOW CUTE, AND HOW'D THAT GO? HOW WAS THE CONQUERING? YOU'RE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE KING. NO KING COULD BE THIS LOW PATHETIC MOCKERY. I SEE THE JESTER AND JAPE YOU ARE. THE GUILLOTINE IS WAITING TO RELEASE. AND NO I WASN'T THE SOURCE OF YOUR PERDITION. BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU MY POSITION. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE WORTHY OF COGNITION, SO YOU'LL BE SUBJECT TO A REPETITION. Light shine in head. Lack of where. Lack of when. Seemly real. Seemly not. Scratches at violently. HOLD IN YOUR PLACE, YOU NONSTAR, YOU DEFACEMENT OF ALL THAT I'VE MADE, OH OF ALL THAT IS HOLY. YOUR EYE AND HEART ARE IMPURE. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE MADE MORE, BUT YOUR DEATH WOULD JUST BE A WASTE. INSTEAD, I KNOW HOW TO USE YOU. PAWN DIVINE, TRUE PURPOSE NEARS. YOU ARE MINE TO SHAKE HER FEARS. SHE WILL DROWN A THOUSAND TIMES. PUT HER DOWN. IMPOSSIBLE CRIMES SQUEEZE HER HEART AND DRAIN IT DRY. PULL APART HER SOUL. SHE CRIES, "PAWN DIVINE."

I've botched everything. I've botched everything. I'm not fine, but I'm returning now. I'm returning now. It's all I have wanted for years, for years I have. It's all I've wanted. Held on by the neckline on by the neck. He is here, and it can't be good. No, it can't be good. It appears that he has a vile plan, and I can't disobey. And when I try to warn them, they will say, "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU." and "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU." and "I DON'T BELIEVE." With an iron left glance, he is entering orbit phase one. Doesn't give me a chance. He is entering orbit phase one. I'm so close, I can... I'm so close, I can just reach out, and I'll touch again. I will feel again anything. Oh, please let me feel again. Please let me feel something again. And when I try to warn them, they will say, "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU." and "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU." and "I DON'T BELIEVE." With a withered left-hand-man, he is entering orbit phase one. None can know what he plans. He is entering orbit phase one. PAY ATTENTION AND SHUT UP, AND THEN MAYBE YOU'D KNOW WHAT WE PLANNED. Steels an iron left glance, he is entering orbit phase one. IT'S NOT HARD. UNDERSTAND IT. JUST SHUT UP. Does he know how to dance? He is entering orbit phase one. He is entering orbit phase

about

The Adventures of Space Pig is about a ghost-possessed pig with pigeon wings flying into space to get Sweet Violent Revenge against a god. It features nine THRILLING progressive rock/pop songs that are sure to make you feel like you just listened to some music.

Space Pig's words all come out tangled and twisted and upside down, so don't bother yourself too much with the lyrics.

The people below are to blame for this thing's existence.

FEATURING:

Thank you to Jill Baldassari for voicing Space Pig (all tracks), Gina Freshcoln for voicing The L'onge Del'onfer (track 6), Alex Hamilton for voicing The God of Space (tracks 8, 9, 1), and Patience Wagner for playing a violin (track 2, sampled in tracks 5 and 8).

On this album, APRIL 1830 IS:

PHIL BALDASSARI is April 1830's bassist. He has no skills or personality traits. He is kept in this band against his will. Please do not attempt to help him. Or communicate with him. Don't even look at him, actually. Thank you.

CLOVER LANAHAN is April 1830's guitarist and main composer. She talks to robots in her dreams. She was once a perfectly tolerable individual, but has since undergone "a long and horrible transformation." She won't say what she's become, but I think she's a Devil.

GERTRUDE LAVUE is April 1830's keyboardist. She is very nice. A freak accident has rendered her literally invisible. Some speculate that this is a fabricated excuse to play to a pre-recorded backing track, but Gertrude is 100% real, and it is rather hurtful to insinuate otherwise. You are being rude. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

LUKE WEBER was April 1830's drummer until he fell down a well and no one cared enough to get him out. Luke does not know how to play the drums. He rhythmically falls down over the kit, and hopes that he hits the correct things. He also tells intolerable jokes. These jokes are not appreciated by any normal person. Luke finds them hilarious though.

AND ALSO:

Art by Robert Walls. Background/typography by Clover Lanahan.

Still Life mastering by Ryan Fitzpatrick. All other mastering by Counsil Machine Sentient Masterer.

Toy piano samples on track 2 by Scarlet Hall.

Kick drum sample on track 4 by Black Lotus Audio.

Huge huge huge huge thank you to Aidan Reeves for all of your help.
