new song from new project (probs finished)
update: i lied i reworked it n you’ll hear it when u hear it

lyrics-
sweet child of the rivers edge
tell me how it ends
oh, i know those wings aren’t for flight
your stuck down here with the rest of us

fuck, the smells lingering
but who cares the earthwatchers long beyond the cattails now
and they’re the only witness to what i’ve done

but i’ve been thinking and if i can take over these radio towers
i’ll broadcast the news for miles and miles around

like a moth to the flame, like man to whatever’s not theirs, like tire marks burnt into the bitumen, like a sweet disposition disguising the horrors that lie beneath

so keep your wits about you
maybe mull it over a little
or you’ll end up just like me
something ugly
something ugly
something

Cattails (Demo)

demo from album

lyrics-
i can smell the summer in your hair,
a halo of sweat christening your head
sometimes i get real lost in it
and lord knows i’ve tried
lord knows i’ve tried

to leave
the house with the wood beneath
the house with the wood beneath
the house with the wood beneath
the house with the wood beneath (but i’m)
the house with the wood beneath (endlessly bound to this place)
the house with the wood beneath (a wooden door’s all it takes)
the house with the wood beneath (to keep me in)

and it’s getting hot in here
i guess this shed full of everything i’ve ever loved
will be a good tomb for it all
and why not bury myself in the rubble?
with my creation
my creation
my creation
my creation
oh baby, take me
oh baby, take me
oh baby, take me
oh baby, take me
oh baby

to leave
the house with the wood beneath
the house with the wood beneath
the house with the wood beneath
the house with the wood beneath (but i’m)
the house with the wood beneath (endlessly bound to this place)
the house with the wood beneath (a wooden door’s all it takes)
the house with the wood beneath (to keep me in)

and now in the end
it’s all so clear to me
the heavens are opening up
and there’s a spot for me there
oh,
i proved myself to the rest of ‘em
i knew they were watching over me
when i stole a million crosses from vintage store across the country
paying tribute to them
and in this burnt down shed
i lie with my bride
who i built myself for you, eternity
and now i’m collecting my reward
a perfect vessel in exchange for your love and eternal life

is anyone there?

the house with the wood beneath (demo)

There's something sharp piercing the side of me.

Lyrics
I’ve been
Watching the world
Through a wall

And I’ve been
Hoping
For change to blow in through the wind

But no matter how long I wait
It won’t change
So why don’t you
Wipe the blood from my chest
When all is said and done

There’s something sharp
Piercing the side of me
And no matter how close I look
I can't see it

I think it’s an omen of what’s to come
And it won’t go away

So why don’t you
Wipe the blood from my chest
When all is said and done

Ceremonial Blade

There's something sharp piercing the side of me.

Lyrics
I look out around
And the moon appears strange
The water below,
Rippling in our wake

And before the fall
The only one I'd believe
Is the little plastic Jesus
Sitting by the windscreen

And I
Lie
Under the glow of the halogen lights
Wondering what lies in the shadows
Just outside of reach

But, you know, there’s a storm bird whaling in the wind
No matter how hard you try to push against it
The front’ll always push you back in, in
Oh, but these streets lined with an orange glow’ll always lead right back home

And I
Lie
Under the glow of the halogen lights
Wondering what lies in the shadows
Just outside of reach

Oh, at least we’ve got a common enemy
I'm sick of fighting, leave behind all your vices
Cause we’ve got a million years
And a million more

And I
Lie
Under the glow of the halogen lights
Wondering what lies in the shadows
Just outside of reach

Halogen

There's something sharp piercing the side of me.

Lyrics
I wish there was a hole in my head
Drainin’ out whatever biles keeping me flooded in
God, I’d do anything for bliss
Oh, I’ll hollow out these walls to fit myself in

Oh, bleed me dry,
Mount my bones ‘round these halls
And take the rest out back
Dump it all in the creek
And I'll lie as you wish

Nothin’ worth fighting for
I'd never trust a man in the dark
But when the sun lights up his face, I’d listen to just ‘bout anything he’d have to say
Not sure what that says ‘bout me

Oh, bleed me dry,
Mount my bones ‘round these halls
And take the rest out back
Dump it all in the creek
And I'll lie as you wish

Go slowly, come back quickly
Take my bones back inside
Go slowly, come back quickly
I need you to hate me
Go slowly, come back quickly

Bleed Me Dry

There's something sharp piercing the side of me.

Lyrics
Look to your left
Look out at the fire you started
And watch how it burns
The way the tongues curl
And everything seems so minuscule in its wake
And the bloodstains on her face
Are lit up in its glow

And I'm blind,
Deer in the headlights
Or at least that's what you think of me, hm

And once a field of flames,
Now a place found barren
Devoid of any life
No hope for return
But with god as my witness,
And mary as my saint,
I'd sooner let the world burn
Then to lose you

And I'm blind,
Deer in the headlights
Or at least that's what you think of me, hm

So i,
Will never find
The solace I seek
Bleeding from the wounds all over my body
Just shoot me
And drag me out
Like a deer
You crashed the lights out of
And totalled your car
And I’ll forgive you til the end 

And I'm blind,
Deer in the headlights
Deer in the headlights
Deer in the headlights, hm

And I'm blind,
Deer in the headlights
Or at least that's what you think of me, hm

And I'm blind,
Deer in the headlights
Or at least that's what you think of me, hm

Deer In The Headlights

There's something sharp piercing the side of me.

Lyrics
With my head bowed
And my body tensed
I’ve got eyes in the back of my head
Staring up at heaven 

I’ve got a want
I’ve got a need
To see those pearly gates,
To fall upon my knees

I wish I, I knew
What I felt

And I lie
In a drunken stupor
You’re like an angel
Come to save me and take me away
Tear stained face,
None of the blame
Talk to anybody else
But don’t mention my name
'Cause if they know me
I probably don’t want ‘em to

Heaven / Drunken Stupor

unfinished demo that i like

lyrics-
these creeks run dry like bone
leading out into the heartlands
and a feather from a crow
lands neat into the palms of my hands
so i guess i’ll take this hint
the worlds out to get me
but i think there’s still time
to run into the desolation

c-c-c-could you tell?
should i run away
to the great planes
and drive myself half insane
buy a new car,
start a new life
just so i don’t have to keep
living with this one
and my god
there’s too much time
to keep on riding this high
i’ll feel better if i get to come down
one day or another

runaway (unfinished)

recorded in early december 2024 when i was sick
