From THE SHREDDING TEARS (Black & Greene, 2007)

The Blood Club

tally hall- the whole world and you cover

My cover of the song "Out in the Twilight" by Tally Hall.

Out In The Twilight

Jukebox The Ghost - Mistletoe

This is the most recent song on the EP, and I felt inspired to write it after getting lost in the jungle for three hours with some friends. Hopefully the lyrics make more sense now with this information, and that you can enjoy the song with its full meaning in mind :U



lyrics:

When both sides are pressing in and there isn’t room to breathe 
With the burden on your shoulders telling you you’re weak 
When the verdict’s rolling in and everyone agrees 
We’re adrift in a sea of endless browns and greens 

It happened hopelessly 
Nothing short of reality 
We’d had everything that we needed 
Not to die for the next day or three 
The hot anxiety 
hung thick in the air but it was easily 
Almost not there cause between our stares 
the mood was somber and we weren’t prepared 

So bring us back 
If we don’t return 
Headed on the right path 
A lesson learnt 
Mistakes within grasp 
Shouldn’t have to hurt this bad 

Backwards down a road somebody else had paved 
Breaking into biscuits whenever we lost our way 
Broken strings of conflict under shelter from the rain 
But then silent realization when worry turned to pain 

So bring us back 
If we don’t return 
Headed on the right path 
A lesson learnt 
Mistakes within grasp 
Shouldn’t have to hurt this bad 

Tell us that we’re sensible 
When we’re clearly nonsensical 
Don’t know if it’s where you’ll find us 
Hope we won’t get left behind 
Tell us that we’re sensible 
When we’re clearly nonsensical 
Don’t know if it’s where you’ll find us 
Hope we won’t get left behind

Where to find us // checkpoint 1

Not to be biased but this might be my favourite song off the EP, I just think it has a really raw quality to it that I can’t achieve with my regular signing voice. If it weren’t for my sore throat at the time I recorded this, I would’ve remade the chorus without swearing, but at the same time, I value that the emotional authenticity has been preserved. Lengthy descriptions aside, I hope u enjoy this track and also pardon my French


lyrics:

I have a really sore throat 
But I feel the need to take this opportunity 
To sing my voice out vigorously 
‘Cause I feel a thousand emotions at once 
And I can’t care enough to pick out all the good ones 

So I’ll take this to my grave 
Till I learn how to fake being okay 
Cause my brain is fucked up in so many goddamn ways 

Here’s my mortality, let’s talk about that 
Cause I cannot tell if I’d rather rot in heaven or in hell 
Either way some dumb day I’m gonna die 
And the world’ll keep on spinning like it did when I was still alive 

So I’ll take this to my grave 
Till I learn how to fake being okay 
Cause my brain is fucked up in so many goddamn ways

Grey matter // checkpoint 1

Here’s a very literal song about that one time we messed our curtains up. We still haven’t switched them back.


lyrics:

Not too long ago, 
We took our curtains down cause they were dirty
So we took them to the laundry
Now that they’re cleaner
We’ve hung them back up again
But decided to arrange them differently (wooaah)
Now the curtains are in all the wrong rooms and everything (wooaah)
Looks incredibly confusing to me

My windows used to be covered 
In white and stripy cloth
Well, now they’re not.
These guest room curtains now belong to me
They’re cool grey with silver leaves 
And now that I take notice there’s some spots (wooaah)
The laundry guys didn’t do the best job (wooaah)
But I cant complain cause idk how to wash them myself

Never once did I think
That the pattern of a fabric
Could change so much about a room 
Interior designers 
Would be infuriated at the sight of
These obstructions to our window views
I suppose, for a good laugh
You could try it
Too

The curtain song // checkpoint 1

here's a song about stuff, 
(sorry bbb, hope u don't mind that i wrote this about u)

lyrics:

What do you want from me?
Don’t even know why you get mad so easy
If you’re feeling angry
Just breathe and let it be

I’m not talking to myself
Unless we go back to before 2012
If you could just listen, we’re tryna help
But have it your way, suit yourself

You’ll be alright
You’ve just gotta learn how to forgive
Things will be fine
Someday you’ll get that’s how we live
So next time stay calm,
And try to be nice

So next time stay calm and be nice

B nice // checkpoint 1

This one’s the oldest song on the ep, I wrote it a little over a year ago and thought I would include it because it makes for a nice closing song. My older songs all have this really specific vibe to them, and if I ever post a collection of them I’m sure you’ll get what I mean, but who knows

lyrics:

Wake me up when I care enough 
I’m not getting up just yet nuh-uh
I’ve not given up, I’m just a little stuck
I guess it means that I’m not working hard enough
Why don’t I do what I’m meant to 
Even though it never should’ve gotten this tough
I’m wishing my future self
Good luck, good luck
