Crimson Static #1

There’s a rattle in your throat when you say my name There’s a tremor in this land and it feels the same There’s a curl to your lips whenever we kiss There’s a battle brewing and it’s hard to miss There’s a poison rain that has soaked the ground There’s a look in your eyes and it makes a sound I need a word for – the things I hurt for – the feelings I can’t cure – The signs we ignore – the world we're headed for: Murder, murder, murder The way we pray at night It sounds like – it sounds like – it sounds like murder The way we pledge allegiance It sounds like – it sounds like – it sounds like murder The way we name our fears It sounds like – it sounds like – it sounds like murder The way you call my name It sounds like – it sounds like – it sounds like murder The way you whisper good night It sounds like – it sounds like – it sounds like murder The way you say I love you It sounds like – it sounds like – it sounds like murder It sounds like, it sounds like, it sounds like Like murder

This is a code It’s a building on fire This is a road For a car without tires This is a message Every syllable banned This is an antidote For a poisoned land These orders are written On our fingernails This is low tide Black dawn, red sails Don’t join the cause Unless you’ll cross the line Don’t say the name For the sake of a rhyme These streets belong to whoever can burn them Burn them down to the ground White - Rose This is a broadcast From a scrambled station Unplug the pogrom Cancellation! This is a mission It’s a buried landmine This is a detonation To stop a firing line These streets belong to whoever can burn them Burn them down to the ground White - Rose

Blue Boys 03:51
I’m hearing the boys in blue again I’m hearing the boys in blue again They’re circling the block Their sirens are locked Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir I’m watching the boys in blue again I’m watching the boys in blue again Their holsters are loose It’s the end of the truce Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir A man’s in the hospital A man’s in intensive care A man’s collecting a pension I don't know where I’m tracking the boys in blue again I’m tracking the boys in blue again They’re getting an eyeful from the end of my rifle It’s long overdue And it’s all for you Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir

Who could replace my laughing child? Who could replace my sleeping child? Who will replace my buried child? Come again, come again, come again Let your spirit sink into me Come again

"Sounds like what would’ve happened if REM and the B-52s collided in an Athens, GA studio in 1982... Percussive noises that make it sound like they kidnapped Tom Waits... I just can't get enough of this."
