City of Hearts
I felt that I was half alive
I counted 24, 25
I wanted,
I wanted not to be lonely but still alone
Walking slowly but nearing home
I wanted
I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes
 
You’d say that it was true to form
I was wishing hard for a storm
I wanted,
I wanted to see storm clouds rushing by
In a dark, brooding, stormy sky
I wanted, I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes

Bear In Heaven - Autumn

Don't Fall in Love /Wish 7"

Don't Fall In Love

not a girl, just a voidness of emptiness.
i'm crying now but i don't really give a shit.
my body knows when it's crawling through a battleground but they can't see me now.
i'm the ash on the end of a cigarette.
i'm a drunk tattoo but with no regrets.
i could put my high heels on but i won't be out long.
cause i've been dead since i was nineteen,
if you wanted me here, should have treated me nicely.
come on baby, come to me.
come on closer and what do you see

intro: what do u see

Psychic Twin - Hopeless

From Porcelain Raft's album 'Strange Weekend'

Unless You Speak From Your Heart

"Black Lagoon is the lead single from Still Corners 4th album Slow Air.  With clean toned electric guitar, a driving beat, and the smoky crooning of Tessa Murray, Black Lagoon contains the shimmering atmospherics Still Corners are well known for.  The cinematic video that accompanies the track finds the band on a journey from the desert to the ocean in search of a lost Eden. Filmed over a month in California, Arizona and Texas and shot on a small handheld cinema camera, the band travels across America in a white mustang convertible searching and reaching into the unknown."
