lyrics

Yeah there’s something
About the moonlight tonight
Piercing the shades
Scarring my face
Roasting me on my bed
Carnival in my head
Out of my place

Few distractions
Make me stumble by day
Now causing aches
Like peppery flakes
Scattered thoughts keep singeing
A brain that is cringing
And stays wide awake

Morning closing in on me
With its steady heartbeat
I can flee but I can’t rewind
My neck feels its breath’s heat

Sand grains only drip one way
They hammer down my stalling
My feet glued firmly wide apart
To glass they cannot cling

My skull is but a crystal ball
A light bulb lit for insect’s bumps
My self-doubts shopping mall

It’s late way past the closing time
But there’s no switch to turn the lights off
To conceal the grime

Pastures are tranquil no sheep to count
How foolish of me to check their sty
I know all too damn well how, what, and why
For I am the wolf here and not the hound

Vagrants
by Mother Upduff

Great stuff. Love the harsh sound and that we got two slightly different takes. In a world of overly curated and produced music, this level of unopologetic musicianship stands out. Check out the rest! Mayham & Eggs
