You can throw away your past, but the devil gently finds ways to bring it back...  Devil's Timepiece is a guitar-based alternative folk tune with southern gothic echoes. The fourth tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville

Devil's Timepiece
:
Traces of smoke
Lingering soft hope
Words spit like flames
under the up-town train
Together alone
through the heat summer storm

Yes it is…
faded away
No it ain't…
the way it should stay

Church bells of peace
The devil's timepiece
Once in a while
love speaks, to the right one
'Til then I pray at the station
Penn the hymn to the speeding train

Yes it is…
No place to stay.

I saw the city lights
turn dusty moon 

I saw the blue gas-light
split the summer sky

(Yes it is…)
Last place I'll stay
No it ain't…
the only doorway

Oh, gentle violence
Time will rewind it

Oh, blame the summer wind
Sound the sirens

Who will write this down?

HeartBreak - Interlude

Melancholic Mood
Verse 1:
Dark clouds passing by,
Grey days as time goes by.
A drop falls, a deep sigh,
In my soul, spinning high.
Chorus:
Melancholy in the rain,
Tears blending with the dew.
In this moment of silence,
I find myself right here and true.
Verse 2:
Thoughts flying far and wide,
Lost in my own world's tide.
A smile faint, yet heavy as lead,
In this rain, so cold it's spread.
Chorus:
Melancholy in the rain,
Tears blending with the dew.
In this moment of silence,
I find myself right here and true.
Bridge:
The wind tells tales,
Of times gone by,
The melody of life,
We can't always guide.
Verse 3:
Yet, at the core, a spark of light,
A glimmer of hope in the night.
Melancholy breaks its might,
And a new day comes to light.
Chorus:
Melancholy in the rain,
Tears blending with the dew.
In this moment of silence,
I find myself right here and true.
Outro:
The clouds move away,
Making room for new rays.
Melancholy in the rain,
A moment, a silent ballet.

Hey.

Sometimes ya just *gotta* take a wave to the face.

 
 
*************************************************************
Brute-force-cheeseballing the chill vibe of the old beach music of days long gone -- the fun, lighthearted stuff that my parents and in-laws still can't get enough of from their own hey-day when beach-bumming was not just a once-in-a-blue-moon-weekend grind-getaway, but a lifestyle.

I am extremely fortunate in that, for 7 times now in my adulting-in-progress life, I have been able to escape south to Siesta Key, FL with Meaghan's family for a week or two (just like I am right now), and if there is one thing that they have taught me, it's how to beach-bum just right:
 
Step 1. Wake up, pack a lunch and go to beach. 
Step 2: Take a wave to the face. 
Step 3: Go to sleep, and dream about following the very same steps the next day.

LYRICS
Take a wave, take a wave, take a wave
To the Face
(etc.)

Let it slap some sense in ya


Don't matter if you're rich or poor
Wave to the face 
and your sense of entitlement's out the door

Can crest real high or sink down low
Jump Over Dive through, what do you do, 
here comes another wave slappin' straight for you

Won't matter the pigment that you sport
Wave to the face 
is an impartial, sea-slap-giving sort

No difference, your culture or your creed
Wave to the face 
has got the common-sense slapping 
that we humans need
