lyrics

sometimes i forget which text i’m in | like i forget where i put the key or my guitar or what's your name | and i open one door after another | while in my back | the house is on fire | it smells like cinnamon | it smells like i am tired | with a chain of pain around my neck | i’m trying to win | against the smoke that i breathe in | when i sing. || a black hole for a heart | a white star for a mind | i am exploding quietly | into the ruins of a life | that once was dear to me. || and the mess words leave me with | is nothing i could ever grasp | i fill my pillow with broken glass | so i don’t have to dream | like gravity’s rainbow | in every color shines the halo of sparks | from the short circuit | made by the liquid | that is dropping | from my face | "every death is an end in the race | it’s a stopping and starting" | but it is not it is not | it’s a stopping a stopping a stopping! || my heart became a bone | my mind left me alone | everything is at its place except for you | from the broken lines in space | i can tell that it's not just the sun | but your face that curves the room as well || mobile phones | mobile homes | with the doorknob in the hand | that is burning hot | my life is turning | into a literary hold up | signs under fire | and a pilgrimage caught in a feedback knot | and this answers the question | whether or not | there is a god

The resulting catalog reflects the patina of many rounds of revision and accumulation. 200 Lurkers blends two distinct musical aesthetics into songs that feature glimmering moments and makeshift voices. ... more
