theoriginalAlliecat Love this. Absolutely awesome. The music takes you on a journey and even when I can't understand or hear the lyrics it seems I can feel the emotion behind it all. It has passion and direction.

But I don't know dick about music. It sounds good, makes me ears happy. Thats all that matters. Favorite track: Wisconsin.

Distance keeps to himself And I know, because I'm a friend of his We spoke in familiar tones And it grew with just the shaking of guitar strings I keep moving bones around Line them up and take some photographs You know, demons never leave They just become doors and locks And rooms of stuff and all I know As long as I breath, I will sing To save a boy I used to know Closets never speak and bones they never bleed We sold our souls for telecasters And all those glassy stares All the miles and miles ate me alive There's something to be said About static and white noise At least it's constant We built a road out of our skin And we came to know what breathing meant Closets never speak, and bones they never bleed Coming home for now

We'll sleep as they hang from the lights And they'll drink, until everyone dies My friend Nick said, “Get your head straight” I see the backs of their eyes We go from point to point Just drawing lines across the page Every time I waste these words The title still implies the plot This bold-faced limp, written in letterheads Where I learned to write, to walk, to sing How we with both hands So we with both hands If I get a little bit of this each day Writing letters to the dead In a vain attempt to tip the scales Singing songs inside my head As you sit across from me And every time I waste these words The title still implies the plot How we with both hands So we with both hands

The muse is mute when public men applaud a modern throne It sees in shades of gray Like any other man, I keep my lovers waiting Drown out all the soothing sounds before it gets too late And I hate today already, I hate today so much right now We get older every day, and we don’t have time to breathe If I am seeming pessimistic, it’s nothing quite as, it’s nothing quite as The muse is mute but I still listen for the colors that I've lost The things that have gone missing, the lovers that have gone And I hate today already, I hate today so much right now I'll slow down the time until our paths become the righteous ones And I'll slow down the time to open up the satellite skulls that I’ve set And we're swimming, and we're shaking, and we're drowning You know that I have seen the score of the last five years or so I'll slow down the time to open up the scab I'll slow down the time until our paths become the righteous ones I'll slow down the time to open up the satellite skulls that I’ve set

I'll come down to ground when I want to When I need a breath I'll come down when I want to There's a hole in the sky that I can’t seem to mend All the trade winds betray me and navigate us south And I've lost countless love and friends To the things I've put myself through All the trade winds betray me and all the gates face south I'd give you gold for the rest of your life If you would take it from me But I'm not so good with doors So you'll have to invite me in Well I'm not so good with heights So you'll have to lead me up And I'm not so good with dark So you'll have to excuse my fear

Space Jockey 04:49
I will never ever speak Because you're not anything to me at all Aside from all the open books Discrepancies and coffee cups I don't know All the boys are drinking whiskey All the girls are singing songs I don't know We hide in the obvious places Just to find we were lost We hide in the obvious places Just to find we were right there I will never ever

Wisconsin 04:31
Down the road, at the edge of the lake Where I go when I'm sleeping and I float face down For days just to drown out the absence of meaning And the crushing weight of gravity Down the road at the edge of the garden Where I go when I'm lucid And I lie in the dirt growing roots from my fingers I don't know a thing about the time it takes to grow or get better After months of conversation between the roots and minerals We don't know a thing about the time that it takes to grow or get better What's the difference in two plus two and knowing
8.
Briskly and sideways, words that taste like rain A the melancholy falls away from me I stop to breathe, knowing the calm may never come again I'm darkening the page, hoping to scrawl across the negative space Shiver through anxiety again If I could only find a pen It's better to suffer in silence Stabilize the molecules by your own hand And when the weather wakes up there beside you Just tighten your coat to the cold If I became the king I'd breathe up all the air Swiftly she turns away from me Slips into the shadows like the closing of a scene I stop to breathe, let myself become the negative space Writing through this terrible descent If I could only find a pen

The Reeve 03:57
Today I felt the lines becoming something tangible for speech We hope to become better men while we sleep It's not from lack of trying, just how our fathers teach And I lost it at the mourning, gained some sanity yeah We slept in the ashes of these men And we spoke of their transgressions “Goddamn” she said, “You've got a head that's full of hate” I shook lit another cigarette, forgot the words as quickly as they came I came down the stairs, covered my face Up the wall, gave me some grace Unprepared, I was falling over you again It was the cause of it, let it engulf you
10.
For all of the awful things I force through my skull just to stay awake And all the clichés that we drown in the sea, just to spite your own face I would forgive you if you weren't so full of shit all of the time It was a chorus of withdraw and a summer filled with broken bones And I was crawling around, she was opening doors on the floor You don't notice seven years is seven years too long I'm always crawling around, she was opening doors on the floor
