1.	The Psychology Of Quarantine 00:45	lyrics	buy track
Will and weakness overtake. Their power, fueled by depression, granted access first to the mind and then to its declining vessel. During crisis there is insatiable hunger and an endless food source. Against these odds, we will not survive.
2.	Everything Is A Void 00:56	lyrics	buy track
“Our brain knows what sickness tastes like.” Living in a bed, sweat soaked, with the taste of iron in our mouth. The world outside is dead and we’re finally joining them. We held on this long for nothing.
3.	Only Human 02:22	lyrics	buy track
Hey you! Yer you! You're the only human, everyone's an alien save you. We're malevolent malignant tumors sucking on your body, preying on your mind. Never mind. Dissecting your soul, spirit being, fuck whatever. Put your brain on the shelf. Close your eyes. Nothing left. We've your whole life videoed… your womb, sub-life, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age.

about

IRON LUNG - Mental Distancing 7" flexi (LUNGS-220)

IRON LUNG played Robert and Karoline's 20th wedding anniversary party with HIDE in San Francisco about a thousand years ago. A truly great evening with much love and laughter and togetherness. We made plans for future collaborations and shows and everything else. The Covid-19 pandemic completely destroyed that type of thing for few years and sent a lot of us into a hellish vortex of anxiety and depression while we isolated ourselves and the society we once knew fell deeper into chaos. Frankly, it was too much to handle. All work stopped. We managed to record about 40 minutes worth of material shortly before the pandemic and these songs are from that. It serves as something to tide you over until we finish recording the new album. Hopefully, by the end of this year. Thank you. -Jensen
