Solo Show

The light in you is a dusty bulb
Hardly shining, all alone
Flickering, it’s no surprise
No one needed you anyway
The chemicals you’ve been prescribed
Are making you less alive
Showing how you feel inside
Everybody runs away and hides
You’re a
Last minute add-on, solo show
Behind the beat, buzzing notes.
Four songs, 15 minutes
Solo show.
On the stage you’re indisposed
Suddenly the panic grows
Flee the scene and no one knows
No ones wondering “where’d he go?”
All your friends missed the set
You thought it was the worst one yet
You messed up twice and skipped a song
“You wrote it, how could you get it wrong?”
Last minute add-on, solo show
Behind the beat, buzzing notes.
7 people faking interest after
Four songs,
At your 15 minute
Solo show

Revenge Addict
04:26
|

I’m addicted to revenge.
To get my fix I use my fists.
I don’t often use my words
But when I do they’re gonna hurt
I see red and then you’ll be seeing stars
Best be ready for the harm that is to come
I’ll be plotting out the ways in which you’ll burn
You tried to wrong me and now you are gonna learn..
I’m addicted to revenge
It smells like blood and tastes so sweet
I get off on getting back.
You had your fun, now I’ll have mine.
I see red and then you’ll be seeing stars
Best be ready for the harm that is to come
I’ll be plotting out the ways in which you’ll burn
You tried to wrong me and now you are gonna learn..
Now that it’s done, things feel kind of wrong
The thrill is the hunt and chase
The road to bad intentions
Is paved with your bones
Cracked and caved in skulls.
Everyone has their day
And soon it will be mine.

Miss The World
01:58

|
Hand out to feed the night
Reach for a veiled prize
Let some light stumble in.
Let somebody hold you.
Strange illuminations
Lend infatuation
Let some light stumble in
Let somebody hold you.
Taking forever
Say that it’s yours
Let the light float away
It’s far too dark tonight
To ache for the starlight
Let the night float away
Let somebody keep you here.
You fell in love with the part
But enough is enough is enough
Clotting a bleeding heart
You’re gonna miss the world
You fell in love with the part
But enough is enough is enough
See me before you depart
You’re gonna miss the world.

I Am a Dream
01:31
|
|||
|
You treat me as if I am a dream
You dig in deep and then you leave
Leaving me stuck in-between
the crumble and sheen
You treat me as if I am a dream
We’re both unsure of what I mean
Leaving me stuck in-between
The crumble and sheen.
The sky and the sheets
A yawn and a scream
Piercing me.

Ten Minute Window
03:08
|
|||
|
There’s a couple in the kitchen
Making a mess of what’s missing
One of them is screaming
“Babe, you know that I don’t mean it”
8:03 in light, opened wide
It’s the same time every night
they depart but appear the same
Picking up where they left off for me.
A ten minute window
to see pain through the pane.
A ten minute window
And me, i’m sitting
Using my eyes to listen
I fill in what i’m missing
The curtains close, they go on living.
A ten minute window
to see pain through the pane.
A ten minute window.

True Blue
02:28
|
|||
|
Gotta find out the secret
What’s in the top hat, where’s the rabbit?
I try to accept the mystery
But all I think is “how could this be?”
It’s true blue, holding you
Closer to me
True blue, magic you
Vanishing
Now I’m part of the secret
I’ll be your eager volunteer
Pull something from behind my ear
You cut me in half and the audience laughs
It’s true blue, holding you
Closer to me
True blue, magic you
Vanishing.
Its true blue, cloaking you
Secretly
It’s true blue, loving your
mystery.

You and The Moon
03:45
|
|||
|
A pilot is burning
At fifty thousand feet
On a solo expedition.
Hurling toward infinity
Beneath him, you’re a lover
Hoping he makes it home
Up above him, clouds parting
As if to welcome him in
He’s forced to choose
Between you and the moon
No radar can catch him
Controls read error message
Engines stall, in free fall
Hurling toward infinity
On your lonesome, at the window
Looking out, achingly
Hardly stars out, one is burning
You wonder if he sees it
And if he’ll name it
After you
But it’s only
You and the moon

Awful Sentimental
04:08
|
|||
|
Looking at you in a picture, something forever remembered.
It has me
Taking stock of memories, the real you and the reveries.
I admire your trajectory on your way to me.
I liken you to a fever, sending heat into my head.
You’re A somersault of energy, a blooming bliss that’s warming me,
filling me with certainty of serene belief
I’m awful sentimental
Memories on a mantle
Every day I touch it
I find new ways to love it
A perfect composition
admiring your position
Inside of my heart
And now you’re living inside me, claiming the space as your own.
I feel you bouncing off the walls at night,
dancing in the morning light, taking care of everything,
doing all of this so lovingly
I’m awful sentimental
Memories on a mantle
Every day I touch it
I find new ways to love it
A perfect composition
admiring your position
Inside my heart

Never Let You Drift Away
by Supercrush
supported by 6 fans who also own “Classic Traffic”
I love everything Supercrush has put out, but the last 2 tracks might be their best yet. They sound like they could almost be Devotion songs, which is also cool. Everything that Mark Palm's ever done has been solid. Great record.

I know it's an obscure reference, but the singer reminds me of Anneke van Giersbergen from the Gathering. The singer of Romero is a highlight of the band's sound, and the power-pop tunes are driven by her. Looking forward to future releases of this band.
