Bedroom Wall

|

can I witness you
as a fly on the bedroom wall
can I impress you
with the golden needle that I promise to be sterilized
can I interest you
with a lie that you have to believe
can I address you
as the oldest evil that to witness would just paralyze
feeding off the weakest member
old enough to teach a lesson
I lack the subtlety
as a fly on the bedroom wall
|

Below
02:09
|
|
||
|
what would it be
as I complete
none other than below
I gather that I owe
one would at ease
further their reach
untethered to below
I cower in your love

Danger Ahead
01:36
|
|
||
|
danger ahead
recognize
compromise
as effort
at the time
we had time
later on
we were wrong
as ever
forever
recognize
good advice
comes and goes
like your soul
the better
I get you
the lesser
I get you

Good Side
01:41
|
|
||
|
oh don't bother
I can wait another day it
seems to hold
you don't even know
my
good
side
hold the laughter
ever after
I get fatter
eating alone
teething to the bone
from
inside
realize
I don't mind
half the time
I can't find
my own lines
it turns
while
it learns
itself...

Power of Suggestion
02:13
|
|
||
|
by stretch of my reservations
watch while others have to run for cover
what's the matter
by the power of suggestion
recently I had to question luck you find it
does not follow us...

Even Better
01:10
|
|
||
|
oh you make me nauseous
I can not watch as
you get older
you get awful hard to know
even better
you can offer I suppose
what I'll take for granted
oh you may be righteous
I can not seem to posit
to another
what I tried so hard to know
even better
you can offer I suppose
what I'll take for granted

Attention Span
01:17
|
|
||
|
I am here
to get older as you hang around
aware
progressively depleted attention span
and now
you couldn't even have another doubt
|

One to Seven
02:28
|
|
||
|
I pretend to be
careful with others
would you say
on a scale
of one to seven
I selectively
handle my effort
for my gain
I could
fail to mention
what you know
keeps you
further
out of
answers
I see everything
better than before
at the same
I don't
have to listen
|

What You Know
01:26
|
|
||
|
what you know
I can show
holds you there
I can tell
that it's done
I had none
coming from
we could search and hide to
let on that you
put your thoughts in
to a question
what the fuck
I feel fine
could be so
unreposed
out of time
out of mind
out alone
I can find the faulty
I can forsee
as I had to
cut the bullshit out
|

How Low Can You Go
02:08
|
|
||
|
that's enough
I give up
how low can you go
what the fuck
I give up
how much do you know
what when we find out
holding on
to the rung
how low can you go
when the fuck
is enough
how much do you know
good to show
|

Bad Form
01:54
|
|
||
|
I am here
in bad form
through a tear
I can't watch
to a healthy end
apprehend the unknown
out of fear
out alone
do you seek a guide
that the edge
of the known
universe
only goes
so far back in time
|
||||
12. |
Turn
01:11
|
|
||
|
other days that I do worse
disassemble
cut into the end
of
I
don't
know
where
to
turn...
all the waking time is worth
such an effort
in defense of what
comes
I
don't
know
when
to
turn...
|

13. |
Pressure
01:28
|
|
||
|
even under pressure the weakest of bonds you know
old as the creatureless moon
I stay here
in the bluest of months
the truest of moments over
feeding off the weakest the deepest of wrongs you know
sold in a featureless room
my
plain fear
as the ruthlessly violent
toothlessly smile over death
|
||||
14. |
Outside
01:27
|
|
||
|
what's outside
might survive
I guess I
never had the
answer
right on time
what's inside
might subside
I guess I
never had to
answer
for my pride
|
||||
15. |
Half a Doubt
02:41
|
|
||
|
half a doubt
I give out
do you need to be fair
what the least two can share
laugh about
winding down
do you see over there
I could leave unprepared
|
||||
16. |
High Hopes
01:56
|
|
||
|
nothing you've tried
nothing you know
nothing you've had the patience for
I hope I don't
happen to find
somewhere to go
exiting in a panic when
I don't follow
I get on fine
since I had the
time to process
what I fear
indefensibly
what you tire of turning
either you settle for a side
or the safety of...

Transient Life

A compelling call of obedience to all the sorrows of material death and the abyss of waters in which all the ineffability and beatitudes of dragons dwell.

Good music to think about better times and cry to. Love from Canada!

Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics.

Excellent emo with a noise pop twist from a new Cambridge label.

Throughout this album, somehow, Sufjan makes me care about the state of Illinois. From detailed depictions of various landmarks and folklore, to moments of deep personal introspection; Illinois builds an incredibly dense narrative out of it's seemingly simple concept. The variety of sounds on this album is remarkable, compelling me to smile in one moment, then leaving me a sobbing mess in the next. One of the very few albums I'd consider to be 100% perfect.
