Abandon Me

Yesterday I fell down the stairs, and
didn't know how to get back up.
I can't be the same again.
I felt like my body had crumbled into dust.
And I know you're off doing better things, leaving me alone.
And I know I'll become forgotten in a year or two;
living by you like a person half dead.
So I'll be waiting, as you
move on.
And I know
in the morning I'll be a ghost, so
abandon me.
In the daytime I'll be seen but
won't be felt as I flicker out.
Now warmth is a stranger.
And I wish that we
never even crossed paths.
You're saying dust motes in sunbeams look ethereal.
(but) You're waving them away cause I'm hurting you.
And I think I am drowning in your regrets;
living by you like a person half-dead.
So I'll be waiting, as you
move on.
And I know
in the morning I'll be a ghost, so
abandon me.
Can you see me fading away?
Still I know in the morning I'll be a ghost.
So, abandon me.

Spring Song

I feel the wind
upon my face.
It blows through me.
The world is a beautiful place.
I don't feel this way too often.
I rarely love the silence.
The distant bees are buzzing.
Can you hear them?
And sure the sidewalks are cracked.
And all the leaves are brown.
And sure my shoulders are weighed down to the ground.
But brown will turn to green,
with invisible things becoming seen.
Oh, the birds are coming back.
Can you see it?
The scent of flowers fills the air.
I don’t touch them, I wouldn’t dare.
Everything around me
finally belongs here
And at long last
there’s victory over the snow.
And there’s no where I’d rather go.
I don't care if days turn into years.
I' m happy sitting here
for the first time in a long time,
for the first time in a long time.

They must think
that you’re pretty screwed up in the head,
cause you lose your mind;
leave your friends behind;
when the leaves turn red.
But they can’t see
all the beauty that this world can bring.
They’d rather burn it down;
build a pretty city town;
then hear the birds sing.
You’re not crazy when you say
that it freaks you out just a little bit too much.
Oh chlorophyll, can I break down with you?
Chlorophyll, can I break down with you?
Oh, chlorophyll, don’t wither, cause we don’t wanna be alone again this winter.
You’ll survive without me like you always have
Cause there’s something inside
An unrelenting pride
That makes you different from the rest
Sure things change
For reasons we might not understand
And when nothing makes sense
Know that it’s beautiful mess
It’s something fine and strange
You’re not crazy when you say:
“I deserve to be happy.”

Harvest Moon

Harvest moon,
how will I ever look for you?
Harvest moon,
how will I ever find you?
What do I have to do?
How far in the sky are you?
For if I would start to look tonight
Would I find you in a million years
I’m not in the place
where I wanted to be last year.
Four wheels and corn fields;
I thought they’d bring about a change but everything is still the same.
You’ve arrived after endless miserable days,
yet there’s no answer in your unknowing gaze
You’ve arrived after endless miserable days
Yet there’s no answer in your unknowing gaze.
Harvest moon,
how will I say goodbye to you?
We’ve all waited for so long.
How will I say goodbye to you?
Goodbye, goodbye.

Sunrise shining in the grass.
Cross-eyed, they're all going too fast.
And you're sleeping somewhere cold.
And you're sleeping somewhere cold.
Moonlight, shining in the night.
Clouds arise
And gather in the sky
It's raining
Yeah, the moon is waning
And all she does it cry
Stars come alive
In this pathetic night
They twinkle there
But no one stops to stare at them
And you're sleeping somewhere cold
You're sleeping somewhere cold
Oh...
No, you're not alone
Sleeping somewhere cold

An Eventual Resolution

In a couple of years I'll move away and I'll forget I ever knew you at all,
and I don't know where I'm going, but I know I'm going far.
All of the lovely memories I thought I’ve had once are gone from me.
You’ve swiped the joy from under our feet.
You were springtime; you were warmness;
now you’re sleet.
In a couple of years I’ll fly away and I won’t have to prove myself at all, ah.
I’ll be living happily; I’ll be on the ball
And if you can’t see me, well here I am, oh.
And if you don’t need me, well say goodbye, oh.
I won’t waste my time on everything you want anymore.
How surreal is everything
we hold onto?
Take a look beyond the shadows,
you will see the truth.
Next time you are scared and lonely,
take a look up at the stars.
For no one really knows
how strong you are.
So show the world
your light, tonight.

Joey Farrell recommends:
The Finks, originating from Australia, are deceptively simple. Upon the first listen, you think that it takes 20 minutes to record a song. However, you soon realize the genius and talent it takes.

Guest Policy's true sound is one of my all time favorite records. They are a band near me, so I had the pleasure to see live. They are the nicest ever, not to mention their sound is super original.
go to album
Atlas is one of those artist who always changes his up. This EP really has such a melancholic, yet hopeful sound. It was this that was one of my biggest instrumental and lyrical influences.
