NEW SKIN - Scott Matthews

i can’t stand another day in the pleasure slums
this half-life is decaying with the medicine 
there’s no here and there’s no there
just empty rooms or deadly air
so i recline
i bide my time
i unwind and turn off my mind 
because i can’t stand another day in the pleasure slums

taking time and claiming days
charts and stats and brain decay
busy hands and idle minds 
keep a song to sing to pass the time 
if work is freeing you from the toil 
punch season’s clocks until spring uncoils
i'm starved for oxygen 
need more breath and this masquerade will be my death
because i can’t stand another day in the pleasure slums
this half-life is decaying with the medicine 

quiet rolling through the house
loaded wires hum as the dark comes down
to bless the light with it's blackened grace 
only temporarily trading places
raised online in the binary days
scroll back your chat log to read history
push within me and pull without
we race toward checkered flags of doubt
because i can’t stand another day in the pleasure slums

sleep and dreams used to come easily 
now i close my eyes chemically
electric sheep on acid driving royal christened semen riders
while you call on me like an endless prepaid telephone your mother gave you 
imitating life stealing art 
with no audition i got the part in
streams of stories on some four chan
get your front row truman show pass while you still can 
because I can’t stand another day in the pleasure slums
this half-life is decaying with the medicine

“5th Generation Warfare” is a southern gothic protest anthem that blends Appalachian soul, swamp-rock grit, and gospel fire. Written and produced by Donald E. Pickett, the track exposes the invisible war fought through information, control, and psychological manipulation — a conflict without soldiers or borders, but with every soul caught in its crossfire.

Set against a backdrop of thunder, drones, and bayou echoes, the song carries the raw honesty of the mountains into a new battlefield — one where faith and freedom stand as the last unbroken front. The soundscape rises from slide guitar and Hammond organ into a gospel-infused outcry, a warning and a witness to a generation tested not by bullets, but by belief.

Both haunting and defiant, “5th Generation Warfare” is a hymn for those who refuse to surrender their spirit to the system — a song of resistance carved from the southern mud and sung through the static.

5th Generation Warfare

Good Good Blood - I'm So Ugly

All My Friends Have Gone To War

and he said i know

i really dont care anymore... this time.

as the end approaches
and i lie here in wait
as they watch with disappointment 
at the mess that i've made
i'm just another mistake
with all this hate i create
and if there is a god above me
there's a lot  on his plate

breathe
no im damned on this earth
breathe
to hurt and to hurt
and if there is a god above me that's been watching since birth
then give me one good reason, tell me what it's worth.
if there's just one good reason, tell me what it's worth

bed-ridden, tears dripping, locked in my room
downswing, aching flowers dont bloom
there's not much i can take if i take it at all
leave me alone now im crying in blue

i used to be a dancer yeah i used to swing
i used to comfort people yeah i used to sing
but now my voice is the devil
my music his horns
and my friends are dead
from this world we are torn

wont you take me away 
----------------------------------------
im writing disease till the day im deceased 
begging you please wont you listen at least
love in decrease heeding the priest's decrees
with ease is the only way to feel peace

but nothing makes sense no more,
my eyes, heart and brain are sore.
love's a bitch love's a whore
cant take this anymore

oh lord take me in, 
wash away all my sins
and deliver me from evil
and let me begin

the end

Song originally by The Tallest Man on Earth 
Cover version performed, recorded by Andrew Gavin Williams 

Kids on the Run

how far you went

breathe

There's something here for everyone.
Thank you for making me who I am. 

i really dont care anymore... this time.
