Tear of the Clouds

and Jesus wept for he'd given you life
but now here you sit with a pocket knife
carving his name into the bark of a tree
your mother was a beat off from lost
your father was a second-hand-shop
full of dead dreams and violent serenades
and that house by the lake that we watched come up from rafters
it burnt down yesterday
i wish i saw the look on your face
make no mistake
it's a tear of the clouds on my face
and demons left you to sort it all out
now here you sit, empty bottles all around
trying to drown yourself from the inside out
your mother was paralyzed by her dreams
they all failed her so maybe you would be
a spark
turned out just to be a dead-end street

about
may end up being the last song i ever write. might as well share it here seeing as it will never see a proper recording. it's about a house on a dirt road behind where i grew up that my dad and i used to ride past on our bikes. we watched it come up from the foundation through the framing thru the windows. and then one day it was just me there watching them sell it and a family move in and start a life. and for the rest of my life that's what i would be, standing in one place watching the world move on without me.

Nervous Young Man
by Car Seat HeadrestFrom the first moment I heard Will Toledo's washed-out screams on Boxing Day, I knew he'd "make it". Here we are, 2 years later and he's on Matador records. Sometimes, the world rewards talent.
