The Safest Place

I want to dip my skin into the pool.
Because my face is getting warm again.
In your arms, is where I want to be,
It's where I'm safe, where I'm ok.
Where I'm ok.

Stress Dreams

I don't want to be alone,
Wake up in the morning with me.
Wake up in the morning.
And in the morning I see
The sun rising over me.
Look up at the sky,
Watch the clouds drifting by.
Every morning I wake up
Wishing you were by my side.
If I could help it,
You'd be with me every night.
I haven't been sleeping soundly.
Stress dreams haunting me.
Being lonely.
Being too crowded.

You kissed me,
And I felt free.
You left your sweater
In the back seat of my car.
And I kept it,
And I smelled it.
Your scent filled my lungs
And I forgot how to breathe.
Constantly digesting
The butterflies you give me.
You're gone and I miss you,
But I know that I'll see you soon.
I'll see you very soon.

Happy Things

I'm much happier with a cigarette between my lips,
Or your hands on my hips,
Or my hands on your wrist,
Or your lips on my lips.
But life isn't as fair as this.
Take me back to being with you,
Just laughing us two.
Back to when things were simple,
When life wasn't miserable.
When life wasn't miserable,
When life wasn't miserable
I'd be happy just sharing some coffee with you.
The weather is changing,
It's getting colder and colder.
And I want to rest my head on your shoulder,
Again and again.
Hold me by my hand.
Take me to where you go when you are comfortable.

Don't Look at Me
02:58
|
|
||
|
When I watch you sleep
I want to slip into your dreams
To see if you're dreaming of me.
When you turn to look at me,
I feel myself retreat.
When you say to me
You don't want to see me.

Summer

You said come inside,
Hold on tight,
It's not your time to die son,
And it's raining outside.
I don't want to fight,
But every drag I take seems to pull me closer
Into the night.
My idleness was never my friend.
These idle hands threaten to put me to an end.
Play your records,
I'll lay on my back.
We can stare at the sky
And pretend it's the summer again.
Break all of my bones.
I would be blessed
For you to walk all over me again.
You can step on my toes,
You can break my back,
Because in the end I know you love me.

Ryley Kendric Alred recommends:
Awesome dudes in a noisy, crazy, heavy hardcore band from Oklahoma City. Sick lyrics and heavy riffs, very phat.

Killer noise rock group from Oklahoma. Great great great lyrics with some deep tunes. If you like B&C, you'll like them.
go to album
Probably my favorite album recently. A very noisy/shoegaze sound. He has a large discography, and I would recommend listening to most of his albums.

Split Screen EP

This split EP from two France-based musicians is a gem, both artists recalling the glory days of slowcore in their heart-tugging melodies.
