13 Days

13 days and I'm far gone
with familiar strangers on the lawn
watch the moon set over trees
run my hands through late summer breeze
take me under your wing
it's not the same
it's not the same
but don't take me back
this is my new home
my bedsheets laid out next to the wall
the leaves start changing into fall
finally get to meet you all

Pretend You're Here

a name only placed to fill the void of your shadow
a charm never dropped but slowly faded away
a love never harnessed but quickly poked out to start bleeding
a friendship too fiction to find something different to say
soon reality will let the truth unfold
the suspense ive built up for myself is getting old
t minus 40 seconds until
we're holding hands with the end of the world
at least when i pretend you're here
if i keep making up this shit i may as well be gone
too many details i don't know to keep me playing along
inventing feelings i don't have to write another verse
pull my head out from my ass and push it into hers

Cloudiest Of Days
02:49
|
|
||
|
wide awake I wonder if she really gets me
if I lose my way will she forget me
wide awake I hesitate to blink
choosing instead to think too hard
about how I could go in scarred
on the cloudiest of days
just the way I like it
I sacrifice myself to the jinx
imagined drama on the brink
wasting time wondering "what"
but maybe try "how"
could I pick myself up
if indeed it all goes down
skies erupt with blue flares
landing shocks through open cracks
taking everyone that won't give back
if she's still there when I leave hiding
can you tell her I'm on my way?
if we're ever really that close
I won't want her to wait a day

Purity
02:46
|
|
||
|
the dry luck I've rubbed myself up against
plucking out sores in my chest
leaving the dirt for the road back home
and putting my face on for the impressed
the purity ring's not working
the bare-boned millennium they threw me in
scraping and scrounging for every cent
hoping the market won't throw us out
as the killings continue to be well spent

Married In Mourning
03:51
|
|
||
|
the sun will arise now
to shower the men with gold
the wind will be blowing
to keep the women from getting old
the mood of the ceremony
was empty and too quiet
faces caving, no girls blushing
after last night's riot
the air was chilled but it was brighter than day
the priest whispered his lines and the couple had nothing to say
a dress once white was now a faded red
a suit once black was now gray of dead

where do you go when the ship has sailed
when it finally hits you that it failed
over the horizon, the moon lands over the rusting rails
overlooking the luxuries where your mark failed
seventh time's the charm they say
they don't but think it anyway
usually they hit the sea
or recognize the cause is lost
but you're a special case
and think the cost is just
capsized and lost and the mirages come
lifeboats arrive but nowhere from
the sea turns to dry land and you're free
blink and the truth hits you back into the sea

Burning Victim
02:16
|
|
||
|
burn through every article on
light your way through dead forests
tie it back and lay the blueprint down
lead the charge against those closest
victim of the tides
victim of the fires
victim of the eyes
zero hearts for liars
reprising her role as the naked martyr
in flames she emerges, fueled by passionate rage
carefully stepping through the lava trail
and gently caressing every center stage
that's a lot to handle
for a dead pyro

Hero Ward
02:36
|
|
||
|
dont write every moment as your own
dont point out every sky that youve flown
cheap rites to the candle where its blown
cape rustling out from the secret room in your last home
save the last word
for the nightmare warden
keep them stored in
the hero ward
the chance is gone to reclaim the throne
friends once recognized start heading home
the deal is off, the prize was never really yours
left to walk the street alone, closing all the doors

Spin The Moon
02:55
|
|
||
|
visceral, emotionless
connected to the street
melting down to hunting grounds
locked into his beat
throwing flowers into dust
flowing rivers into rust
growing pains into your trust
your dreams will keep you awake
hunker down and try to spin the moon

Song For Nat Peterson

well on our way
the center called us out and we couldn't sit away
our time to bring the game
he'd always been there
watching us, talking to us
knew his face
today we learned his name
all is all the same
glanced back up to hope the light
would shine on
for hope of being here too long
he waited for
the being to emerge from the floor
and soak me in
a sick stunt to collapse the face into itself

This is a great album. Kinda like if Guided By Voices used GarageBand instead of a 4-track.

The enigmatic Frank Ene's solo record lives in a magical world where Serge Gainsbourg fronts Yellow Magic Orchestra.
