Mouth over April
04:25
|

|
Starving echos
of twilight horizons
run rampant through
sullen minds
like cracks in city sidewalks
Sparkling irises
of urban, dream girls.
Lost whispers for
the lonely shadows
of these naked avenues.

Zipper (Alien)

As weathered eyes
see you
A timid gut
starts to sweat.
Rivers of words
flow from
your tongues.
A Zipper
lives on my lips.
An Alien
lives in my heart
one I embrace.
To melt into
the pulse of the norm;
An internal battle
An eternal battle

Compare yourself all over
to the pictures and pixels
than we'll be down
in the face of it all
feeling numb in our arteries
we all go up and down
but heavy days just stick around
like wallflowers in the corners
yearning for a friend
I'll wake up at 6am
and break my back for someone else
and so we toil away
for a dollar dead in a day
and as dayjob hours
become the whole goddamn film
precious seconds fade away
as we forget that they exist

and you hide out in your room
and watch the world pass you by
and yes she broke your heart
and they will never know you
and you walk alone with sad eyes
glued to the broken ground
and everyone is out there
blooming and thriving
and these words inside
will scream to be born
and i'm down in my dreams
and they find breathing easy
oh, what an abyss
(and) so you think your alone
(well) you have no fucking clue

I Think I'm Alive
03:17
|
|||
|
A stagnant flow
a view in grey.
The heartbeat of
effervescent cities;
brings a healing glow
I'm alive.
But the rain and forest
sing to my heart
the calling card
a sense of belonging
I'm torn in two
oh, well
I think I'm alive.

Sad Sack

and i'm slammed on the ugly ground
crying creeks of blue, golden light
the traffic keeps swimming
lost in dreams gone with the air
a portrait stands in cold hands
salivating hearts will shatter
thank you
for everything.

A beautiful, contemplative album. His voice is unique and full of character.
go to album
An interesting, Lo-Fi album chock full of melancholy but with unbelievably catchy pop-hooks
go to album
Probably the most definitive sound of the pacfic northwest ever put to tape and to audio for that matter. Everything Mount Eerie and The Microphones is pure genius.
