lyrics

Winds sweep clean the plains of a resting place.
Now the myth will be portrayed in a time-lapse filmed masquerade.
Winds sweep clean the plains of our resting place…
…and the fact that you can’t fake your way through this wake.

I didn’t want out, I wanted in & every time I try and shout, it’s in silence.

I’ve followed you here to be led in circles, confused.
The whites of our lies & now of your eyes…
…will leave you and ivory cut out with torrid knives…
…afloat, in debris, in the mean of the white hot desert sea.

I didn’t want out, I wanted in & every time I try and shout, it’s in silence.
Seasons of droughts will be taking in towers of clouded doubt to be buried thin, within.

I’m apathetic of rapport & these unsevered dreams,
…not unlike before, are far and few between & all that remains serene will lie awake in silence.

I didn’t want out, I wanted in & every time I try and shout, it’s in silence.
Seasons of droughts will be taking in towers of clouded doubt buried thin.

Automaticity

supported by 4 fans who also own “Elephant Graveyard”

Honestly, i typically recoil at electronic beats, but good lord is "Dead-Eyed God" a haunting, beautiful track! It's just delightful to see one of your favorite musicians expanding their palette with such confidence & taste. And of course there's still plenty of J's masterful & tasty guitar on this EP for those of us who can't get enough. ggoston
