GHOSTING
03:15
|
|||
|
And I feel my heart gone drift away
But I hold my tongue
If I hold my pose for long enough
Would the blood still run?
And I feel my life done slip away
And I come undone
But I'll dream of thunder anyway
Till the lightning comes
And I scream myself to sleep again
Till my throat goes numb
And it seems like only yesterday
It was just a hum
And I dream a river runaway
But I’m under thumbs
If I held my own hand long enough
Would my song be sung
And I feel my heart go drift astray
But I got my lungs
So I’ll keep on singing anyway
Till the morning comes

Heart Attack Summer
03:43
|
|||
|
Heart attacks were made for summer
And I'm hummin' like hell
Fated to remember another
But too faded to tell
Arm yourself
With the rhythm of a runner
When you feel not alone
But a little lonesome
Arm yourself
Like a pigeon in the gutter
When you feel alone
But not a loner
Faded all December
And I’m feeling like hell
You and me are ghosts that don't remember
It’s not ringing a bell
Haunt yourself
With the vision of another
When you feel
All along
A little wholesome
Calm yourself
Like a medicated mother
When you feel
All alone
And a little loathsome
Arm yourself like a rebel and a gunner
When you feel not alone
But a little lonesome
Arm yourself with the symbol of a stunner
When you feel
when you feel alone
But not a loner
Not alone

Shame Song
02:44
|

|
Do you remember when
You said to me
I'm only lonely for the blues
Not the flowers that you choose
It wasn't sympathy
Just an epiphany
For you
And so I take the news
I let it in
I take the deal I make the most
Of visions handed down from family
A forgery
A symphony
For now and then
I know exactly what you said and why you ran away
You said I’d probably stand to love and fight another day
I know exactly the way to unwind
(I'll toe the company line)
Remember Brooklyn and the bones before they broke apart
Remember when the bedroom wasn't such a work of art
Don't you remember
Remember the time
(I guess I'll follow you blind)
I take a life
I compromise
The kind of fear you always had but never thought to recognize
You stole the keys
No guarantees
For me
You take a bath
I do the math
Do I shower you with praise
Like a poet on the page
And get your autograph
Or take a different path
Than you

The Connection
02:14
|
|||
|
What can I do
What can I say?
You're the only one
To make me feel this way
The only one
With a finger and a thumb
That's the connection...

I Saw Light!
03:27
|
|||
|
So I walked into the cemetery
Sermon down the stairs
A place to settle scores among the chairs
Pretending to appreciate
The torrent of the tears behind the prayers
But separating sunshine
And creatures of the night
Were higher diamonds putting up a fight
And visions of the renegade
Fading out of sight
I saw the light!
I saw the train pull into the station
So I walked into the hollow home
Saw sentimental stares
And I never want to see the place again
The lord might be a woman
But the devil is most certainly a man
But state lines and hard times
Make runners in the night
And good crimes may never come to light
Remember last november felt alright
I saw the light!
I saw the train pull into the station
I saw the light!
I saw the train was full and the wolf wore wool
(And the streets were bright
In the dead of night
And I always thought
Things were black and white
And you gave the look
And it left me shook
And insisted that
This was by the book)
I saw the light!
I saw the train pull into the station

Mind Like Mine
02:29
|
|||
|
Blinded by the chances
And all my second glances of you
Never had a lover
And now I’ve blown my cover with you
And a mind like mine needs a second chance
Never had a lover that wasn’t like my mother till you
Baby says she's rubber
But I won't be turned to glue
(Heard it through the grapevine, baby's on the decline too)
And a mind like mine needs a second chance

The Way Back

WAY BACK
Don’t ask for the way back
Don’t ask me to say I love you
Don’t ask me to wave back
Don’t ask me to say I need you
Don’t wait for the feedback
Don’t ask me to please believe you
Don’t ask for the way back
I love you
I wanted the long haul
I wanted to stay believing
I’m hearing the birds call
You’re hearing the vultures feeding
Keep throwing those curveballs
And baby I’ll strike out swinging
I wanted the long haul
I love you
So maybe you’ll be there
And show me the songs youre writing
And act like a rockstar
While keeping your heart in hiding
I know that you still care
I know that you’re still deciding
But baby I still care
I love you

For Orbison

No sleep
No teeth
Heart beats hard like an animal
Uptight
Alright
Lonely back alley radical
Heaven all the time
In the arms of america
Heaven’s on my side
In the arms of america
Cold nights
Old fights
Streets are scarred with the cynical
No claws
Slow pause
Sun beats down it’s unbearable
Never gonna bite
The arms of america
Never gonna fight
In the arms of America
Where did you go and run
My love?
Warm feet
Concrete
Wide eyes shining hysterical
Streetcar
Rockstar
You’re the sound
Of a miracle
Heaven knows I’ve tried
To belong in america
Never be denied
In the arms of America
Where did you go and run
My love?
After no reaction
Will you love me tomorrow?
After satisfaction
Will you love me tomorrow?
Spreading all the ashes
Will you love me tomorrow?
What makes love so Impossible
Will you love me tomorrow?
I’ll still love you tomorrow
I’ll still love you tomorrow

Cigarette
03:12

Wasting away
I know what you know
I know
Hatin' my life
Waiting for the show
But you need me now
You need me, need me now
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
But I don't mean to invite you home
Breakin away
But colors they don’t glow
They moan
But it's all fantasy
Waitin' for epiphanies
To show
So comfort me
I'm harvesting the bitter seeds I've sown
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
You’re the hope left in my fight
To atone
Well fuck me the gravity
Of everything I’ve blown
The diamond's they shined bright on me
Now everything is stone
I’ve catered to the crater
But the crater’s only grown
But I know all the bravest pigeons walk alone
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
Cigarette
You're the backstreet of my life
You're the hope left in my fight
Alone

What Isn't, Ain't
03:45

Should have stayed
Should have stayed in the water
Should have made
The way to write a new song
But when I shake a knife
And shine a light
That's the kinda shit that's keepin me up alone at night
And when I recognize
A compromise
You're always mad at me
What's my life about oh I don't wanna know
Tell me lies cause I don't think that I wanna know
Hanging lights throwing shadows against the wall
So I'm trying to discover
I take a long look
At the universe again
And a strummer
Made me dumber
I tore the whole thing apart
Trying to make it right
And my mother
Under covers
Who the hell could she tell I was trying to survive
I'm changin hearts
I'm changing minds
I'm lettin strangers
Sleep tonight
And friends
They don't apologize
For playing their parts
In alibis
Everyone gotta
Face the chemical heart
Weighs a ton I don't think
I could tear it apart
Yeah, who wants a woman
That wants you?
Anyone want to take a stranger apart
Everyone want a piece of my delicate heart
Well we'll call it a loan

Who Do You Love?
03:20

Who do you love
Do you love her?
Do you love her?
Who do you love
Like your mother?
Like your mother?
Who do you love?
Like a brother
Like a brother
Who? Who do you love?
Praying like it’s rain
But you’re draining your face of it’s color
I’m taking the place
Of your favorite mistakes
Where the hole in your heart
Meets the hole in your faith
Haunted by chances you just didn’t take
Sharing a feeling you just couldn’t shake
Remember the festival we were alive
Now it aches in the place
That we never survived
Who do you love?

Losing My Head
03:26
|

|
I feel the beat
Stalk the streets
I lost the light
But feel the heat
Was once admired
Now taste defeat
I feel so tired
But at least I feel
Across the street I say goodbye
At least I tried
Pretending that
I heard the choir
I brother up
To cover up
The way I lie
It’s strange
What you said to me
Fate
Is a broken key
It's fake
Opportunity
I know what you wanna say
But I'm losing my head
Feel so tired but I can't sleep
Grind my teeth
I'm getting off
To no relief
Shedding all
Those old beliefs
Sit and stare
Denying the grief
Paper plates
And microwaves
I shave and shower
Just in case
Another hour
You show your face
With broken flowers
Broken vase
When I strum the strings
Shame when I fuck the flings
Pangs for the company
I ache for the simple things
I know what you wanna say
But I'm losing my head

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry
At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything →
