antigone would shake her head at me
defiler, ritual obscene
a body in a sea of red and green
body on display for all to see
so why don't we take it all the way?
you could just have me cast in stone
a statue for the courtyard, i can sit alone
unmoving, with skin like ice
just sit there, watching my own life
and looking down, powerless, at the blood in your eyes
;;;
i was lying in the field with the dogs and the birds
i was looking up at the sky and wondering what I'd learned
and i was wishing that i could think of something good to say
but when you put your blanket over me my troubles washed away

there's something new growing on The Vine these days
and everybody loves it, they can't get enough
there's something old sitting in the yard these days
but i don't think much of it, i just let it rust
yeah i don't know, i just don't know all day
yeah i don't know, i just don't know all day

Rain Leaves

~~~
rain is falling on the leaves
bugs are crawling in the eaves
and i don't know why i can't shake this unease
so i guess i'll take another hit of weed
balanced on the edge of a knife
swinging through the air into a nosedive
crash into the waves and drift away, into another day
ill get away one of these days
ill get away one of these days
ill get away to a new place
where things move at a slower pace

Night Beach Atlanta, Georgia
"[Night Beach's] melodies operate like private detectives—you'll find that after even a single listen they'll unconsciously soundtrack your every mundane moment. They're songs with soft noses and dark shorts; their deftly arranged layers remind me especially of Koopas from the Mario Bros. universe, smug punksters fitting snugly in their daring shells"--facebook post by Paolo Y. ... more
