Creation Song 02:16
lyrics
buy track
Chaos yawns like a newborn Then flies off like a bluebird The giant watches over The fawning little new world Ice sheet sheathe off its funny little body The universe hugs it in many different ironies Quilted magenta forms out of the ether And out of clay is built a new race Built just so we can tease I present creation I represent a pinpoint in space and time The people yearn to see me They built a tower just to greet me But only blindness greets them Some may call it evil But that term isn't real I present creation I represent a pinpoint just in your mind I stretch apart a concept I immerse it in a holy and tonic blend I say, "Hello" to Jesus Then I put him back into my drawer again I wrap film around your country God, I want to throw it in the bin I present creation I also present your end Do you understand yet or do you want more?

I Can't Ever Say That You Loved Me 03:06
lyrics

I've seen you crack your hands As you climbed a tree I've seen you bruise and bloody your knees I've seen all of your body But I can't ever say that you loved me I've seen you quite well liked I've barely seen you I've bragged that I've known you You're sad to sit next to me I've been everywhere in this town with you But I can't ever say that you loved me Well, we've said the words Many times for sure We've said them unreturned Like lost letters We imagined so much of this Godforsaken world But I can't ever say that you loved me We've been hand in hand Many distant years I betrayed your heart Of course I'm the one in tears We were once five Now we're twenty-three After so many years So many things left unsaid No, I can't ever say that you loved me If you were to say the words I'd believe you instantly They say looking back is 20/20 But after all these years And so many beds I can't ever say that you loved me

Shaving Your Head 07:35

(It's been years, It's been years, It's been years, Show me where the water is) Putting things in their place Only to mess them up again Encounters before the Earth began Can't count the winters up til then In small seas, small sands, small are the minds of men Wisdom not gifted equally (It's been years, It's been years, It's been years, Show me where the water is) Like a stranger in a strange land I donned the saffron of the sage Forgoing all pleasures of the flesh Forgoing the crystals in my hair Did the old ascetic masters know of all the crystals in my hair? It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head to get rid of the sin Shaving your head just to forget Shaving your head to get rid of the guilt Show me where the water is It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head to get rid of the sin Show me where the water is It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head just to forget Show me where the water is It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head to get rid of the guilt Show me where the water is It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head to get rid of the sin Show me where the water is It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head to get rid of the guilt Show me where the water is It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head to get rid of the sin It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head just to forget Show me where the water is It's been years, It's been years, It's been years Show me where the water is Shaving your head to get rid of the guilt Shaving your head to get rid of the sin Shaving your head just to forget Shaving your head to get rid of the guilt Shaving your head to get rid of the sin Shaving your head just to forget

The Giant 07:16
lyrics

The winter solstice came and went like a winter wind Through your skin And children played on snowy hills Sliding down like winter wind The coldness came and my breath left (The giant came and warmth was cleft) I need him now, The giant knows The children play within the snow I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now Oh, I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now The giant takes my hand La di da, La di day He's the only one that can save me I fear this winter might kill us all And end the story writ so far Humanity came pretty close to heaven But reach and fall short is something so familiar It closes in on leaf, and stone, and mind My heart doesn't let anything in I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now The giant takes my hand Don't reach too high Don't grip too tight Just please keep me alive An apocalypse isn't how I wish to die The giant opens his garden The giant lets the children in A soft sow on a summer patch And the cow licks the first man from the salt Too many winter's ends began However this winter never ends Because the giant takes my hand These wounds of love are selfishness The children slide down the hill like winter wind I take the giant's hand La di da, La di day I'm the only one that can save him The giant lays down his head La di da, La di day His skull bleeds out the oceans The apocalypse was just a new beginning And I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now No, I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now

The Devil's Dead Now 05:42
lyrics

The devil's knocking at your door The devil's walking, staggering across the floor He's got a gun in his hand He's got a spark in his eye He's got a gun in his mouth And he shot himself onto the roof In the end, it was the video cameras that got him The devil's dead now The devil's dead now The devil's dead now And he's not getting up from the floor His lover's now covered Head to toe in his gore His left hand on his heart Her right hand on the sword The video cameras got him But Christ, he got him more The devil's dead now The devil's dead now The devil's dead now And he's not getting up from the floor Together they tied a knot Through the hilt of the sword They hung it in the corner To keep them from harm He shot into the public He missed all four rounds He received a searing uppercut And collapsed to the ground He spent as time as Cain and Abel Briefly before he died He saw mankind in his mouth And he gave them his jaw The devil's dead now The devil's dead now The devil's dead now And he's not getting up from the floor The devil's dead now The devil's dead now The devil's dead now And he's not getting up from the floor

The Feeling 07:40
lyrics

I was different then I felt poetry I was a satellite I was a young James Dean I moved in you You fell into me You asked me my techniques I said, "I only read" I was younger then and I'm now young too Camphene lamps cast their shadows And I can just remember the feeling And I can just remember the feeling Can you catch a feeling? Can I connect you to an atom bomb? Can you move a million miles per hour? Can you get doped up on anything at all? I've felt many men And many knives Twenty-three all around me I said, "Not you too" My lover whispered In my ear, "The feeling" I did the thing you should never do Leave the car running it's fumes And I can just remember the feeling And I can just remember the feeling I found the books for the future I found little walls Or maybe buildings too There's something can't recall Some sort of great wheel with many hands on its giant stem But I can just remember the feeling I can just remember the feeling I keep my wristwatch in a tower I keep my pussy down below Oh, I'm all dressed up in brambles Cut around me if you must I keep a lookout from a tower I see the drowning men below I'm stained glass I'm Marilyn Monroe Love at first sight Time after time Moving through the lover's queue Something seethes completely blind And ethanol drips onto my Books of future legends I felt a touch from behind And then all over And then all over And I can just remember the feeling And I can just remember the feeling Can you catch a feeling? Can I connect you to an atom bomb? Can you move a million miles per hour? Can you get doped up on anything at all? Can you catch a feeling? Can I connect you to an atom bomb? Can you move a million miles per hour? Can you get doped up on anything at all? Can you catch a feeling? Can I connect you to an atom bomb? Can you move a million miles per hour? Can you get doped up on anything at all? Can you catch a feeling? Can I connect you to an atom bomb? Can you move a million miles per hour? Can you get doped up on anything at all? And I can just remember the feeling Oh, I can just remember the feeling Oo, I can just remember What can I remember? What can I catch? What can I do to you?

about

Folk-rock album focused on the eternal
This is the first album that really feels like me
I tried to avoid creating a concept or a joke in order to skip out of actual song-writing
Enjoy
