lyrics

=================================================
I watched as my skin turned to leather as another decade passed
I fought like tooth and nail, in trying to get my ass stamped
And as I pile these discarded skins neatly together
I light them in the dark damp of this place as a makeshift lamp
The air is acrid and cramped and the milk is sour
and I can no longer see, can someone please inform me of the hour

And I see the faces of those I loved in the shadows here
Melt in color, and wreak in symphony as they disappear, and learn their scars.
I remember them using their lips and teeth, uttering noises as they learnt to speak,
And how they later forgot to talk.

The air is putrid and peppered with sulfurous flower
and I cannot bear to smell it because I am a coward.

And I see the faces of those I loved in the shadows here
Felt in valor, and leak in sympathy as they reappear, and burn their scars.
I remember them using their hips beneath, stuttering noises as they fucked to speak,
And how they later refused to talk.
And I see the faces of those I loved in the shadows there
Dance with fire, and stream a synergy in thick air, and leave their mark.
I remember them building back their broken legs and teeth as they forgot their names.
This is how we didn't die in a parked car


A hammer and a nail
A hole in a sail
A dying fire and loss of blood
Fate cut off our tail
Pack your wounds with mud
This rising water must be the flood
==========================

about

Nothingful San Diego, California

Spangles of opportunity in which to dimension
into the angles of music and rhythms written in the air.
Sings, plays acoustic bass guitar, dobro, sax..
The songs are uncoventional in as so many
ways as he is musically untrained.
To play the bass in the way that Nothingful
makes it would be to so as in a tuning other than standard.
I am inspired by Laziness and randomness.

I LOVE LAST SECOND SHOWS.
