Shakespeare 04:54
do you ask for advice or just look at the sky do you want to see the light all my old friends are coming to see me now is it okay that I'm not in a hurry all these people rushing around time flies on a pretty kite the more you worry, the less it will fly do you ask for surprise or just look in my eyes do you want to see the light all my old friends are coming to see me now is it okay that I'm not in a hurry all these people rushing around time flies on a pretty kite the more you worry, the less it will fly

I thought I saw everything so clear I drew the line, I kept you near The feeling there was so beautiful It was mutual how could you turn away how could, how how could you get this way how could, how it's a cold shoulder One step forward then two steps back You leave behind what I attract The jig is up now on my sanity That means a lot to me how could you turn away how could, how how could you get this way how could, how it's a cold shoulder the slightest breeze could carry you away I'll be in the trees carried by the day

I fell in love with a ghost She says I love you the most I give my life to her lust Woven in a blanket of trust [though lost to sight she's still to memory dear tired nature's sweet restorer somebody's spherical woman dancing and singing and flirting merrily to your graves] I fed my love to a ghost She soaked it in like a rose I give my life to her lust She is all there ever was

Light Sayer 04:24
I'm trying to paint a picture in your head The ceilings rise from the walls of your mind I should have given up, should I still try There was something in the shadows Out came lightning then I saw heaven The words came out like A warm vibration The moment at hand as I understand Was us in the night On a thread of darkness You threw a stone into the lake Now I'm reeling, caught in your wake I should have given up, should I still try There was something in the shadows Out came lightning then I saw heaven The words came out like A warm vibration The moment at hand as I understand Was us in the light On a thread of darkness

Sludge Soul 03:07
How long feeling Bright and fleeting Love drunk hippie girl Sweetened by the sun Step away from the hurt Sink your nails into earth It should be easy Mother Nature such a flirt How long feeling Dark and decayed He was a sweet man Soured by the gun Step away from the hurt Sink your nails into earth It should be easy Mother Nature such a flirt

you don't listen you can have me all you want you don't see well you can set your eyes on me all you want you don't feel well you can feel me all you want you don't listen you can laugh with me all you want you don't look well You can close your eyes with me all you want you don't feel well you can feel me all you want Let's go slowly off the rails

I can't keep you on board If I'm not even on the ship I've been floating for a long time now I can barely breathe I thought I had my mind made up Is this what I'm made of Indifference has me tied up Wondering Will I get your love anymore? I've been dying just to live Cause this one didn't break the skin Set my body to an endless fire I'm bound to melt again I thought I had my mind made up Is this what I'm made of Indifference has me tied up Wondering Will I get your love anymore? Keep me on your list

about

Faintlife Chicago, Illinois

Faintlife's music fuses together like a spinning top floating between obstacles. The overwhelming feeling of fluid brain synapses and osmosis can be discovered with every breath and pause. The electric feeling you get from watching lightning on the back porch can not compare to damp air drifting through your cheap, creaky apartment. It's a secret laughter shared between grasps at reality. ... more
