I was looking for something under the stairs.

Found something else.

A worn cardboard box under the stairs labeled Marty, Music / Tapes / Misc

An open cardboard box containing a Drain Blamage cassette, band photograph, show flyer, and old music belongings

Holy shit.

Drain Blamage.

I haven’t thought about these guys in years.

Drain Blamage group photograph

I'm trapped in a haze,

my mind is a blur,

The smoke fills my eyes,

can't stop thinking of her,

The weight of the world,

is crushing my soul,

But with my mind,

I regain control.

I am the master, master of my fate,

Why can't i feel, feel the crushing weight,

What Can I do, when the terror fills my heart

Take Me to a place, where my troubles fall apart.

I'm lost in the sound,

my brain is just mush,

The terror consumes me,

I'm lost in the rush,

I can't escape,

on a slippery slope,

This doom that confronts me,

I've lost all my hope,

I am the master, master of my fate,

Why can't i feel, feel the crushing weight,

What Can I do, when the terror fills my heart

Take Me to a place, where my troubles fall apart.

The world, try to bring me down

Nothing will stop me, I wear the crown

I'll keep on pushing, until the bitter end

In time you will know, my friend.

I am the master, master of my fate,

Why can't i feel, feel the crushing weight,

What Can I do, when the terror fills my heart

Take Me to a place, where my troubles fall apart.

I found this notebook years ago.

I never really read it.

But looking at it now...

I think there's a song in here.

Drain Blamage band photograph

That’s them.

Brian Damage.
Danny Mercer.
Ricky Bell.
Jesse Lane.

Jesus, look at that.

I remember that picture being taken.

I don’t remember who took it.

Lost & Found show flyer from Yakima

The Lost & Found.

Yakima.

I remember that place.

Tiny place. Loud as hell.

Drain Blamage Mandela Effect cassette and package

Mandela Effect.

Five songs.

I haven’t heard this thing in thirty-six years.
