about

The Names of Things Remain

lyrics

So much older, and still so much the same,
The size of things get different, but the names of things remain.
My head is full of stories too simple to sing,
Or even to be spoken,
Devoid of anything.

Curled up like a spider, grippin' the pillow.
Trembling in my jocks like Sweeney in the snow.
Then to thinkin', thoughts on fire,
Lit by reticence.

Love, imagine
Getting past the guards.
The garden wet with rain,
In the height of a heatwave.

My head is full of notions, too buoyant to drown,
Let me in easy,
And I will love you if you let me.

Curled up like a spider, grippin' the pillow,
Trembling in my jocks like Sweeney in the snow.

Someone rob the clock-hands, no one will ever know,
The morning will not come then, and night will never go.

Now to sleeping, thoughts on fire,
Lit by reticent desire.

So much pity, seeing the back of town,
Like a living cliché, away is where I'm bound.
The road is full of potholes, hidden and plain as day,
Some of them will trip you,
But the others lead the way.

Why do I love this record? it has a haunting sound with a destination. The vocals are very sweet and the riffs hook you in . The songs have a great momentem they begin at once place then end some other place and don't go in a circle . if that makes sense? jimmyfuc
