Water drops off the coat as my frame comes into view. I watch as it drops further to the ground. I can see puddles forming over by 15 feet, as I stared up at the storm in the sky, right underneath the eye, it seems. The calm before the rain.
A full on cloudy day makes it feel like I'm on a different planet. It only makes me think of the clouds on Jupiter as the storm goes across its form. And the eye looks suspiciously like the red dot. It's coming up now.
I stayed out in the rain for an hour, listening to Black Country, New Road, as the rain soaked my coat to my skin and I still stayed out there watching the lightning strike across the sky. My dark blue Plaid shirt sticking to my skin as I stare up at the sky. I watch as a lightning strike decides to climb right through a cloud. Thunder is booming in my ears. And I tell myself, just a little longer, you'll make it through this. I was out there before the rain hit and I don't know why I decided to listen to two albums, but I did. I could have gone to the live album that was a pond too far. I would have been more sick than I already am.
Few times when the lightning strikes, it was so close in my mind. I look up and I swear it has to be there. There has to be some charred ground on the driveway, but it never appears. Looking at the ground, when I see the flash, it encompasses my entire vision. It rocks my senses and completely gets my attention. Every time it happens, my heart beats a little faster, then calms down when I realize “I'm safe… But, why do I keep forcing myself to stay out here?”
Through the entire day, I've just been trying to stay awake. Find some way to keep my mind occupied. Being sick for a few days does not help at all. Everybody can see me crashing now.
It's been a tough time today. Mice scatter across the floor only to get trapped in bags. You're so close to the end, but depression wants to win. I'm not letting it win at all this time.
Now the driveway is Lake Miller, or what I like to call it, mini Lake Superior, and everywhere you go is going to be wet ground, and water puddles up just to show you that you have no control of the weather. It goes all the way from the front of the driveway to the garage, and I watched as it grew.
I think about Lake Michigan. It must have grown a few inches today. How is it raining today when a few days ago it was snowing? The winter feels like it never ends here until you hit summer. Then it’s back right around to winter again.
Even now I can see the lightning striking outside. It's bouncing light off of the garage. And thunder is ringing through everything. It just had to happen on a day like this. I just want to stay awake. It's harder when it's darker now than it usually is. It's harder when it's darker earlier than it should be. But I've made my goal. I've stayed up longer than I have the past few days. I'm making progress again. Certainly enough, I will wreck it all over again.

Nonagon Infinity
by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
I adore King Gizzard. They are one of my biggest influences. The band is a big reason I delved deeper into writing (more) lore for IR06. And this album is important to the Gizzverse. -Rafe LaNore

Daughter of Darkness
by Natural Snow Buildings
I don’t even know what to say about this album. It’s one of the best pieces that exist. This is a seven hour drone album that I’m very influenced by. You must listen if you have the time. -W. Bullara

An emotional and existential masterpiece. This album means a lot to us. SWANS is our biggest influence as a duo. They mean a lot to us, and this album is an important to both of us -IR06
