lyrics

-Could you ever love what's left?
-Could I have just felt a draft?

-Those outlines
-cut dusk skies.
-Those outlines
-block sunrise.
-How staggering
-the trash multiplies.
-Stretch and tan
-the cockroach hides.
-When Nothing's
-comfortable at times.
-A clean slate's
-so hard to deny
-In wilderness,
-we'll be fine
-In wilderness,
-we're just fine.

-You're not the rain that makes flowers grow.
-You're not the rain that soaks aquifers.
-You're not the storm that floods desert floors.
-You're not the storm that fills watering holes.
-You're the rain that flashes, burns, and explodes

-Oh how the waves of magenta corrode.
-Oh how the skyscrapers uproot and dissolve.
-What we were is gone
-What was there is now all reduced back to basic carbon.
-Oh how Horizons shimmer and bake.
-Oh how the heat melts my aftertaste.
-An ode to all the ghosts
-that now disintegrate.

-You seem so upset from this
-Is this what you'd call amiss.
-Sure, there's things I might miss
-She'll burn what I can't dismiss.

-Run Run. The Satellites are crumbling.
-Run Run. The ashes keep on piling.
-Run Run. Your constructs, so underwhelming,
-in this firestorm's wake.

-Just a small bit
-of a reassessment;
-of a reset.
-An Edit.
-A respite
-is left.

-Gone Gone the meetings you have set.
-Gone Gone your college Alma matter and mortgage payments.
-Gone Gone all those wine parties.
-Gone Gone the big screen T.V.s and ideologies.
-Gone Gone those one-night stands
-Gone Gone the tarnish collected around your wedding bands.

-The past is cauterized.
-The city's buried now.
-Just you and I
-and the fertile ground.

Some of us are now, Hot Shame: hotshame.bandcamp.com It’s like punk, but with more musicianship. Maybe it’s actually prog, but prog that never went to Berkeley. Then again,maybe it’s metal, but without all the spiky leather. Or perhaps it’s hardcore, but more Greg Ginn and less Jamey Jasta. ... more
