The Ghost

I can remember when I first imagined blood
The smell stale and brittle
Like puddles pooled at dawn
It sticks with me still
Now I don't even know
If what I smell is the real thing
Or my ghost
From a memory I conjured out of nothing
Babies trying to fuse words into the world
Making inside matching with the outside
What are we other than in our heads?

Messianica
Lyrics by Jason Williams
Cart me off to Heaven now
I'm ready to rid myself of you
I've had my fill of punishments
Afflictions I've always insisted upon
Inciting the end,
And provoking the weapon
Checking the impulse, la dee da
Oh, why don't we just end it all now?
My hate and my guilt
for which there is no cure
Aimed, locked perfectly onto course
Inciting the end,
And provoking the weapon
Checking the impulse, la dee da
Oh, why don't we just end it all now?

Apple Skies

You stood in the shadow
Of a giant horse
Boundedby the contrast
Of the gradients
Your feet stayed within
The dark space it laid
From slow trot to full gallop
You kept perfect pace with the leg
You were born in the tiny entrails
Of a worm
Cradled in quiet Peace by the naive
Lining of a stomach
Planes sear across an Apple Sky
Waking up the children from their
Comas in the night
There is word of a miracle
It spreads just like a lie
Magic and hellfire
You imagined you were me
Far away from our old (?)
You watched yourself swallowed into
The mighty Fold
Oh, entangled in two
A slow and violent
The birds, me, you and the (?)
Of the MONOBLACK
Oh...
You were buried in the empty
Eyes of the birds
I dug you up and carried your sorrows
Off on my shoulder
The steadfast and quiet
Waves of eighteen years
Collided with the air
That had been
Ripened deep inside of your lungs
In the tiny moment
When our faces took a chance
Chasing curious impulses

Being with You Is...
02:47
|
|||
|
Being with you is
Like being underwater
Suffocating with all my
Awareness intact
You are the sound of silverware
Cutting across all of my teeth
Nothing makes it feel
Quite as real as you
Being with you is
Like being led to slaughter
Under the sun's damaging eye
Splitting me open
You are the bright light comin in
Through my window pane
And you're causing me pain
In my sleeping...

Oh, how they dance after a kill
And still the laughter lingers in the air
It's fair, for everything will come around
And everything will come around
Around, I thought I saw someone at the door, it's no one
Someone's at the door
There's someone at my door
Oh, I'm just dumb and bloodied up
I cut my teeth into the stone
I'm cold now, I'm sleeping as I'm swallowed up whole
Into the dirt and the canyon folds

Animal Holograms Chicago, Illinois
Psych-rock sextet sometimes labeled a grungegaze "outfit?" making dream pop music for downtrodden scumbag droves sporting
mothball, over-sized flannel & fashionably expressive shredded, sewer-stained, denim heirlooms called "My fucking jeans, you fascist!". We're admittedly naive to the grunge/90's alt rock revival subculture apparently all the rage suddenly...

Bow and Spear's 'Fossil Record of the Arctic' is one of three records I listen to almost daily.

Songs of Ghastly Menace
by Ghastly Menace
While 'Pitcairn' is a short but sweet masterpiece, Ghastly Menace's first full length somehow manages to outdo it & take modern pop aesthetics to places most bands just can't touch. Phenomenal record.

Heaven On A Branch
by The Van Allen Belt
Love any band capable of successfully subverting the pop genre without demonizing it & in the process end up with a record which ironically may well be inevitably bound for massively popular appeal.
