Mr. Lif - Brothaz Remix (feat. Cannibal Ox)

Dead Wallets (Sinthesis ft. Ecid & EYEDEA) ECID REMIX

We've had requests for a recording of this version for years at shows, and finally got one worthy of the live energy it creates.  This "Hunter / Paid Dues / Organ Grinder" mashup began as a Buddy Peace & Dan Le Sac live arrangement, got reworked by the new live band and fitted w/ a hellfire outtro, and finally resulted in this recording, performed in front of Boston hardcoah crowd, no less!

Audio is from B. DOLAN's sold out show at the Middle East last November with CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE.  The musicians featured here are ADAM SCHNEIDER on guitar, DAN THE GERMAN on backing tracks & Voyager, and BRAD CAETANO on drums.  

B. DOLAN will be touring throughout 2014 in support of HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 3 (due out this summer) and an official LP slated for release in the fall.  All of this begins TOMORROW NIGHT in DENVER, followed by shows in ALBUQUERQUE, DENTON TX and a March 14th Showcase at SXSW alongside Sage Francis, Wheelchair Sports Camp and more.

Dessa "Palace"

Da war ein Glanz im Glas, ein Wort, das leicht zerbrach,
Die Zeit verann, ein leises Ticken nur.
Sitz’ wartend am Rand von diesem leeren Tag,
Fühl mich verloren und von Dir ist keine Spur.
Das iPhone in meiner kalten Hand,
Darauf Dein Selfie stumm und unbewegt.
Ein viel versprechendes neues Land,
Das sich nicht auftut – es bleibt unerlebt.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Die Welt geht weiter, achtlos und geschwind,
Ein Drama, dem ich nicht mehr folgen will.
Ein Kind sieht mich, so fremd wie ich ihm bin,
Bewundert meine Ruhe, schaut ganz still,
Die Neugier in den Blicken, die mich streifen,
Sie sehen nicht den Abgrund, der in mir klafft.
Sie können das Unheil nicht begreifen
Und nicht erfassen, was Gelassenheit erschafft.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Vielleicht ist dies die Prüfung, tief und rein,
Nicht Dich zu finden, sondern Ich zu sein.
Die Stille wächst, wo eine weitere Stimme fehlt,
Die Ruhe ist nicht schön – sie quält.
Die Leere wird zum unendlichen Raum,
Und aus der Ruhe wächst kein neuer Traum.
Die Stille wächst, wo eine weitere Stimme fehlt,
Die Ruhe ist nicht schön – sie quält.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Der Screen wird dunkel. 
Akku leer. 
Kein Widerschein.
Ich atme aus. 
Und atme mich. 

Und bin allein.

LYRICS:
Fifteen years from tonight 
You have to make a decision 
The greatest love of your life
Is gonna call during dinner…
From the home of the girl 
That he’s living with now. 
The guilt he’ll say is killing him
He’s wilted in the middle and 
He knows how bad he acted
Knows he can’t have you back
But the fact is he can’t be happy 
When you’re angry and you’re so angry 
He says you stayed so mad. 
He heard it on the street that 
You moved back in with your dad
You were drinking something awful 
And that makes him sad.
Then he says it’s good 
To hear your voice again
And that it’s hard to ask it, 
But he’s calling with a question. 
He’s been working real hard
Tryna make a new start
An honest-to-god fresh beginning 
So maybe you could try to 
Finally find in your heart
To forgive him. 

(Chorus)
You’ve already been here before 
You already know where it goes
You chose this, you know 
It’s supposed to be over. 
Refrain. 

He hung up the phone
You listened to the dial tone 
And you stared at the stove 
Until the beeping started 
You read some love letters some threats 
And some you couldn’t tell apart
That you keep under the bed 
At the apartment, and then you did 
What he asked you to do
You opened your heart up 
Right there on a napkin on the carpet
And part of it was frostbit
But you’ve always been a smart kid 
Could still distinguish
The blood black as pitch
Valves had gone stiff
Veins and scar tissue 
Four chambers just a standard issue 
But none had room. Forgiveness is huge
And you had two full of ice water
One fulla salt, one packed with coal 
Eager and ready and willing to find fault. 

Chorus

Then, with your heart in your lap
And your head in your hands
Suddenly you had a plan.
Wrap the mess in newspaper
Headed west on Hennepin,
Heavy with a huge favor  
For a kid that just turned ten.
A flat-chested gap-toothed girl
Was the best that I’ve been so far 
And now I’m too big to forgive him
I need just a moment with me,
A moment when I was still little.
I used to sing on the roof 
Outside my windowsill and
I came hoping some ghost of me 
Would be here still 
And here you are 
Stick figure and a busted grin
Still ignorant of the all trouble 
I’ma get us in.
Hoping we could trade, just for tonight.
Like I could borrow your heart and I could leave you mine
It’s not much for collateral,
Tattered and battle-scarred,
But I can promise you solemn
That I will be back for it tomorrow.
I only need yours this evening,
So I can call an old friend.
And I can tell him 
That we’re finally even.
That we’re finally even. 

Chorus
