EXISTENTIAL HEAVEN p.waves

THAT FEELING WHEN THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE ARRIVE AT YOUR DENNY'S AM I RIGHT?

Before our time they boarded up the windows of the factories
In the towns and cities
Yeah the towns and cities
Had to choose a different form of industry
Culture or
Penitentiary

Dip the buildings in alabaster
Express yourself in fine, sponsored spray paint
Or invest in orange jumpsuits and razor wiring
You beg for the discount
An effortless let down
You beg for the discount
Effortless let down

In the spirit of debate let's hear out the dudes who lie to our faces
Just for arguments sake
In the spirit of debate let's hear out the dudes who lie to our faces
Just for arguments sake

They spit in our coffee and told us it's sugar
Fooled us around again and again on television
They physically ate the contents of a southern ballot box
And whittled a cross for his pet rats in pointed hats to burn in your bedroom

Oh yeah all sides are legitimate
Yes the trickster needs a place
And the table's got space
Just in case
And here we are in a parking lot
And the trickster needs a place
Yeah the table's got space
Just in case we deserve the pain

It's 3 in the goddamn a m
And there's a flaming hole in the pavement
I know it's a Denny's parking lot
But there are four riders outside
And I know no one rides horses anymore

It's 3 in the goddamn a m
And there's a flaming hole in the pavement
I know it's a Denny's parking lot
But there are four riders outside
And I know no one rides horses anymore

WEIRD LITTLE HILL

We were looking at the lights of a sleepy little town
From the top of a hill with a chain-link crown.
Oh, the hill was dark but I didn’t really care.
There was light in her eyes, and oh, oh, oh weeds in her hair.

Every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all, and it’s done no ill.
Oh every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all and I always will

The moon never moved and the dogs didn’t fuss
And a transmitter tower kept watch over us.
We never did sleep, and we never saw dawn,
Till I said I gotta go, and she said with a yawn:

“Every little town has a weird little hill
But this one’s mine, it’ll be here till
You come back to my town, you come back to my hill.
Come and rest by me. Come and get your fill.”

I used to hitch a ride but now I got a car.
I drive a lotta miles but I never get far.
I fill her up myself, there’s nothing else inside,
Nobody waiting, no one wants a ride.
There’s always a hill I think I could be for real
I get to the top, it’s another bad feeling,
Another horizon, another shitty deal,
Another little town with another weird hill.

Every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all, not against my will.
Don’t remember that town, can’t remember her hill,
So I’m climbing them all and I always will,

Till I find that tower and I find her there:
With light in her eyes,
Arms outstretched,
Holding out my life,
And weeds, weeds in her hair.

Cause every little town has a weird little hill
And I’ve climbed them all and I’m climbing,
I’m climbing,
I’m climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still,
Climbing still.

Weird Little Hill (Soundcloud Single)

TV Family

The blinding headlights in the rearview
The rhythmic sweep of the streetlights
The yellow glow of panic
My fence has rotted through

I slap
My face
To stay alert
The tarmac tributaries deliver all to dirt

Begging please no more media
Currency for true believers
Blood for these suckers
Unburdened by proof

Tall dark and
Frozen to the spot
Where the gun went off
My truth is your loss

A few were onboard
How would we know
If you were onboard how would we know?
