Parting words, they've got a sweetness that can linger
Have you heard, East of Eden there's a river
It's on my mind
I'd much rather feel the soil on my dead skin
Lift the veil of a maiden with a sweet kiss
She's on my mind
It's the light that will linger in the evening
But it's the night that does most of the seeing
It's on my mind
I'd much rather feel the soil on my dead skin
Lift the veil of a martyr with a calmness
He's on my mind
Now the calm sets in, I'm sitting by myself, the light is dim
I'll never sit alone without my accomplice
Or romanticize the way I feel without you baby

Deep, dug and spread
where they land
reaching out
out for me
out for you
past your teeth
through your eyes
They're knocking above your door and knocking outside the glass for you, to see
They're knocking outside your window
how can you say that you don't know, or can't see?
It's there, coming up
It's a lot, to keep down
keep it down, with a stone
on dead grass, in the back
I don't know where you're going
walking into the slaughter that's inside you
I know that it seems better, letting it slowly fester
but it kills you
I don't know what to say now
you're always the one who left me
it's always the same with us
validation dressed so pretty
it's always the same with us
underneath a mask of envy
let's just play a simple game
go to work and pay our bills and just be happy

they strung it up a few days ago, it's fine
try not to think about it, we don't know why
talk to me cause I'm afraid to
tell me things that you're afraid to
ignoring them, we've extended both hands
(inaudible garbaly gook, can't remember this line)

On My Way Home

I was on my way home
thinking about what you said
there's an angry old man telling me it turned red
and I wish that he knew
and I'll always regret
and I understand why
and I understand red
I promised you that I'd make it in time
I'll never know if you were mad
you'll never be mine
I have been alive for the last time
and alone for the first time
now there's people waiting in line
and this will all be better in my memory
a dotted line and alchemy to you
when you remind me the last time
the look in your eyes
I saw it between indistinguishable cries
the look on your face
I saw it between the song I can't erase

In the light of the candelabra
it doesn't change the dimmer spots
but I don't want to remember this
the way I've been wired to remember this
We can't see their faces
in the dimmer corners
In the light of the candelabra
made them out of 2x4s
wanted less blue light in our eyes
it doesn't help with bedtime
We're better off this time
not seeing their faces
illuminate our feet
with yellow light

It won't be long
make-up and smiles, turn out as frauds by 12 o'clock
we're "friends" this time
my blood betrays my mind
even at a loss for words
hold me back from this stupid fight
I'm not right
even in my drunken rage
give my ego what it needs tonight
"good vibes"
I take it back
everything I said before
I'm not a credible source
the loss of time, slithers back
still I'm not sure where I've been before
even when the lies start dancing
give me back to this endless night
I won't fight
I'll conjure fake morality
keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times

Crow call
slow fall
frozen ground
tiny sound
I'm finding your heart is just like mine
you're bedroom doors have seen these shells before
I'm looking away from your empty eyes
I'm breaking up with the loneliness I pride, the guilt I hide
sweet dark, calls to me

about
Side Thing Rockford, Illinois
I asked the local witch to throw some twigs and pine cones down my basement stairs and this was the sound it made. I screamed, she screamed, the stairs is still screaming.

One of my favorite groups to have ever existed, dreampop / shoegaze at its best. Best listened to with headphones in a location where no one can bother you.

I just heard "Monica" on the radio. This is the exact vibe/sound I was looking for.
