lyrics

Knock, knock on the window pane
Who could it be? Mere trees?
This late… perhaps it’s thieves
Primal fears in me ingrained

I stick my finger through the blinds
I strain my sight to penetrate the night

A scratch upon the window sill
Tosses my slumber away
Two hours since yesterday
I sit up straight and listen, still

I stick my finger through the blinds
I strain my sight to penetrate the night

I get armed and wary
To let the outside creep in
Left fist clenched tight, knuckles white
I’m greeted by his sheepish, shy grin

Vile in thought, but no more when lit
He leaves me at ease but weary
A late night visit of an old friend
A devout scholar of T. Leary

Working tomorrow, now hush
Let me sleep, let me relax
You left but muddy tracks
In need of a place to crash

Bestow upon me more when you’re gone for good
Oh I know you would, if you could

I get armed and wary
To let the outside creep in
Left fist clenched tight, knuckles white
I’m greeted by his sheepish, shy grin

Vile in thought, but no more when lit
He leaves me at ease but weary
A late night visit of an old friend
A devout scholar of T. Leary

Mayham & Eggs Brno, Czechia

Rock band possessed by music with progressive elements and harmonic quirks from the second best city in Czechia. Just barely though.

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
