when I hear it scrape on the sidewalk
when I feel it hammer on the work clock
what does it matter when your best you're muddled
trying to survive another bad night
outside dancing girls are important
they carry loving around
I see them pollinating the sidewalk
slowing me down
run home, take off your disguise
alone, what a happy surprise
I hope there's nothing left to find
It's selfish
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I swear I try not to be
selfish
I'm not sure if I belong, but no one's asking me to leave
dash us against the stones and send the pictures to Job
I grip my pilot light, cough medicine minus the fuss
this ocean swallows the low-life and it swallows the best of us
leave me awake with the rest of us
wide awake with headphones on
lovesick around the fantastic---
can I say I wanna see you again
and still hate that it's not true?
can I pull my shadow away from you?
I don't care if it's selfish
I don't care anymore
we're getting hit so hard we only see stars

which way to the beach

which way to the beach?
she's crying in the backseat
listening to Morrissey
I wish I didn't think
we'll be together, forever
the unimpressed locals go inside
because the overcast sky
I stare where it meets the sea
there's something bigger there
I could've been anywhere
going to eternity in this frequency
do you know where you are
in relation to the nearest star
thinking like that gets hard over time
drink all the white wine, obscure the horizon line
so what did I learn
it's hard to coexist with the creatures that burn
it's tiring to be alone
but not bad to be away
going to eternity in this frequency

sometimes I get so close I start thinking
I'm gonna win
I'd pay you the handful of money I made
to listen to the trouble we're in
we almost broke
I hope somebody can float us
there's something written on my face
I sure hope nobody will notice
I wish you'd wake me up on the bus
tell me that there's only room for us
I'm in the thick of it
day after hardworn day
you're getting sick of it
complaining to have something to say
talons pick up
the frozen bone
the clay on top
holds it's own
when you die, where do you blow?
down in the weeds where the girls won't go
got no time for
fuck your world war
4F and falling asleep
I am wide
I'm a runaway kite
and the big sky is mine to keep
took me awhile and a pound of blue
to get all of it all the way through
my love was difficult to find
and tries not to ruin your good time
it's getting scary out there, but this story's been written before
and all the main characters end up fine
I want you to choke on the casual blood you spilled on the floor
how could you think that we have any more time?
somebody wake me up on the bus
hold me closer cause I'm starting to fuss

the difference is
I can trace those sunbeams back
the problem is
it can still feel real
what the hell am I doing?
hanging my hope of the wind again
amateur Taoist, ready with the "maybe so"
then the wind blows
the carapace cracked
scuttle to the warm bone
another fish in the sea
another tarot dream
another twilight zone
should've been more careful but you were curious
of carrion surrounded by a chorus of crows
then the wind blows again
walking down to the bus stop is a bad sign
are you doing alright?
where the tired eyes desperately avoid her light
I get burnt
it turns into a sun kiss
I don't have any spare change
but I'll add you to the wishlist
maybe I need medication like the commercial says
maybe I'm on vacation in my bed
if I could remember the words, would I be more permanent?
hearts and flowers sent from the echoes of a life

Jesse Davis recommends:
One of my favorite albums ever, it continues to get me through shit that I'm dealing with. It's hard to have a favorite with J Mascis but this one is mine.

SHARON STONE EP out 10/23/12
by TONY CASTLES
Tony Castles I can't find much on, but from what I have found he is vastly underrated. This album speaks for itself, it's flawless and beautiful and very valuable to me.

oove is rare
by harmony tividad
"oove is rare" is a special album. I keep going back to it over and over again--- the lyrics are effortless yet profound and honest. Comforting and yet piercing. I really like this one.
