By Night.
Crept slowly by night
Where the subway grew long
Cloaked in golden Light
I was drifting through the fog
Black dogs got a clear view
Bloods dripping from its jaws
Lord, I couldn’t hear you
I was drifting through the fog
I’ve been living, drifting in a fog
All my given gifts were gone
Heard people made bets I wouldn’t make it back
(Mmmm) I made peace with that
Sometimes things don’t feel real
Heard it in the way that I talk
For years I didn’t feel well
I was drifting through the fog
Headphones crackled low
Like leaves finding calm
Lord, I learned to go slow
When I was drifting through the fog
I’ve been living, drifting in a fog
All my given gifts were gone
Heard people made bets I wouldn’t make it back
(Mmmm) I made peace with that
I was living, drifting in a fog
All my given gifts were gone
(Mmmm) I made peace with that

Button Factory.
The body keeps score
Deep down through the corridors
Of your life
No one will find you
Don’t open thee door
All you’ll sees war just
Runaway all your life
No one will find you
If its any consolation
Humiliation
Cuts like a train through the street
Made a slingshot,
From a cut bottle
And a balloon
No one will find you
Still smile locked
Inside hostile
Violent rooms
No one will find you
If its any consolation
To make it
Just know when to retreat
If its any consolation
It takes patience
When learning to be sweet

Fried Apples.
In the kitchen at dawn
Thought to myself and yawned
You’ve slept in many beds
Just passing through a vagabond
And its a funny thing the right mind
Left with nothing to do
Believes everything ever said was true
Like— “They never loved you”
Fried apples and buttered toast
The roads filled with turncoats
Preaching bloods thicker than water
Well I’ve almost drowned in both
And its a funny thing the right mind
Left with nothing to do
Believes everything ever said was true
Like— “They never loved you”
And its a funny thing the right mind
Left with nothing to do
Believes everything ever said was true
Like— “They never loved you”
Oil from the pan burnt my hand
And the stove began to smoke
The sun rose
Ohhhh The sun rose

indoor Cat.
Shadow in the window
Knows each car by heart
But in the dark,
Every thing is the same in the dark
Shoulders slumped like a sinkhole
Only rising to breathe
Came in from the street
Never going back to the street
Got lost in the city
The shame of it all
Just a ghost in the hall
With an ear to the wall
Breeze of the subway
On the tip of your tongue
Halfwit in the humdrum
Purring like a gun

Dracula.
Fist balled tight
Whether prayer or precaution
Some people need to be shown
Why they should be cautious
No illusions
Nothing on earth fulfills you
Got nothing new to address
A new home would of killed you
A good fail safe is to never feel safe (x2 )
Loneliness
Will consume and shape you
But getting close is high stakes
High stakes could slay you

…Is Sleeping
They caught you sleeping
Dwelling on dreams
Magical thinking
Melting steel beams
Tired of feeling so day to day
Can I trust you?
Not today
No not today
Tired of feeling so day to day
Twenty cups of water
Around this bed
Depression altar
Tomorrow Ill mend
Tired of feeling so day to day
Can I trust you?
Not today
No not today
Tired of feeling so day to day

Weight Of Pain.
Tried to hold a 9-5
Daylight came, I was paralyzed
Lost faith in things that shine
I was tired I was so tired
Chained to a weight of pain
Chained to a weight of pain
Love is not a strength
To lift a weight of pain
Walked backwards out the place
I was raised and ruined
Tried to be human, be brave
But I blew it
Chained to a weight of pain
Chained to a weight of pain
Love is not a strength
To lift a weight of pain

Small Winner said
I’ve put myself in your shoes
Probably die swinging a hammer
Or singing the blues
Spoonful of sugar or two
Spoonful of sugar or two
Help you get right down to
Swallowing the truth
Small winner said
They won’t offer you a truce
Took a bullet before
Doesn’t mean you’re bullet proof
Spoonful of sugar or two
Spoonful of sugar or two
Help you get right down to
Swallowing the truth
Spoonful of sugar or two
Spoonful of sugar or two
Help you get right down to
Swallowing the truth

Electric Tape.
I am a lucky one
Lucky me
I don’t trust anyone
Its so lonely
Don’t you think that I know?
Nothings free
Even advice will run
A small fee
Never jump before you look
Only eat food you yourself cooked
If you’re gonna swing your shame around like a blade
First wrap the handle with electric tape
Rabbits foot on
The night stand
By hook or by crook
No night stands
Never jump before you look
Only eat food you yourself cooked
If you’re gonna swing your shame around like a blade
First wrap the handle with electric tape
I am a lucky one
Lucky me
I don’t trust anyone
Lucky me

Whodunit.
What is the truth?
Well What is the truth?
Rumors swoop like guests in groups
Welcomed in and given a room
Now, suppose its true
Everybody knows its true
I know people can be cruel
Don’t dig too deep, you super sleuth
There I go again, meddling in my head (x2)
No plan is fool proof
No, no plan is fool proof
Candle turned or a book removed
Won’t reveal an escape route
Just follow the wealth of clues
Oh, follow the wealth of clues
I know people have their views
Don’t dig too deep, you super sleuth
There I go again, meddling in my head (x2)
Ain’t a thing you can dispute
No, Ain’t a thing you can dispute
I know people believe what they choose
Don’t dig too deep, you super sleuth

It would have been nice to get this Flexi and the cassette I paid for in January and never received. At this point it would be nice to get one of my many messages about my order answered.

Springtime and Blind
by Fiddlehead
supported by 10 fans who also own “Doldrums Heavy Shadows”
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them!

Plinky shoegaze-inflected guitar rock confronts the world with both nihilism and hope on the sophomore release Philadelphia band Knifeplay.
go to album
The first new music from Philly group Knifeplay, “Hurt Someone” is a dark-hued dreampop song with rippling guitars and ample shadows.

Access To The Lonely
