D&D Summer Demos

packed my things
burdens and rings
let me go into the yard
into night yet not too far
rust it sings
from gates and swings
would you wade into my heart
were i weeping from the start
come and sing a little louder star
a little louder star
and i will watch you grow

underneath
blade in sheath
the sentiments i hold so dear
the light you water in my ear
words i speak into the wind
into the wind
and i can see you grow
and i can hear you still

but i will let you go
much sooner stone would cry
into the ground i bore
not aloud
never aloud
not aloud

halted speech
stained with bleach
i fled into the yard with fear
i always kept my cards so near
no wonder you could never hear me

Hopeless-Sage Francis (Prof Oak Instrumental Remix)

Your favorite existential sweethearts are proud to present our first album, In the Heart of the Garden, By the Heat of the Sun, a whirlwind of Turtle Turnip brought to you through wheeling classical guitar, animated bass lines & harmonies. Encouraged & produced by Dan Chambers, our music is centered in a fascination with the small details of life—lying on your back in the grass watching the sky in perfect moments, with the trees above you casting the shade purple, waiting to be buried by the wind dragging sand with a beer in your hand because you’d be willing to stay here as long as the clouds change shape above you. Looping memories like the rain—These are our songs of joy & regret.

What Am I?

i want to be the one who loves you
complicate the life you made
i'll fertilize the rose that feeds you
weed out the worst days you'll imbibe
i've done my part
i've seen failures over and over again
lift up your eyes from the pavement for me
don't make this difficult for me
history is on your side
but imagine when we stop completely
will you regret the best days of your life
i've done my part
worn and stretched thin
lift up your arms from the pavement for me

moor light (demo)

Written by Marsh, Sung by the esteemed York Williams

I'll be yours a little while
Sacrifice the child you made
Let her go on steamboat rivers
And let your teardrops fade

I'll be yours until the sunset
Think her gone you shouldn't be
Follow her to sacred meadows
And what a life you'll see

Yes what a life she leads
What a life to plunder
Full of gems and beads
Fortunes torn asunder

But I'll be yours until the evening
When I have to go
Follow me to worn meadows
Only there you'll know

What it means to me
What you said by telephone
I love you yes indeed
I love you

I'll be yours a little while
Sacrifice the smile you laid
Let her go on steamboat rivers
And let your teardrops fade
And let your teardrops fade

I'll Be Yours

Ridiculously rough demo of an old song...
---
You hold your God so high
With a wraith will show you solace
He will blind you from the void
Yes He will blind you from void
But why do you think you suffer
Why do you think you care
Let me give you peace and comfort
Let me tell you what I hear

When I searched for some answers
Hidden in a page of all those strange words, it said
Relieve us for the simpler days, bittersweet malaise
A clear eye in the fray
And all will be forgiven
And all your guilt will fade

You are but a lonely island
Lost in tides and fog and sea
Where will your science lead you
If not to death or misery
Why do you think it matters
What truth may or may not know
I will settle with a maybe
And beyond that let it go

I searched for some answers
Hidden in a page of all those strange words, it said
Relieve us for the simpler days, bittersweet malaise
A clear eye in the fray
And all will be forgiven
And all your guilt will fade

Simpler Days

Bukowski's on the Side of the Road

From Parallel Lines by The Duke and The Dauphin
http://thedukeandthedauphin.bandcamp.com/

lord do not forgive them
they know what they do

he asks for ants voracious
to burning swell his veins
your mouth to gorge on
sanguinary fruit

taste of metal
moans of pain
in warm life passing
(where else could it go)
through an unhinged flame

lord do not forgive them
they know what they do

he adores plastic oceans
he hates real boats, real rain

taste of metal
moans of pain
smell of ritual
(the ants consume his body beckoned by a soul)
he escapes
(but he'll be back tomorrow aching to be sold)

like a warm life passing
(where else could it go)
through an unhinged flame
