Crimson Static #4

by Julian Calendar

1.
The night of shattered glass I still hear your laugh Twenty years now past Dark houses on the lake Rows of windows to break I played along to keep you safe Now you’re gone You paid the cost Lost, lost, lost The edge of the map You stepped straight off Never mind the gap The street was your home Your hours on loan The things you loved left you all alone That’s your bet The dice are tossed Lost, lost, lost It’s fine, fine, fine walking the dotted yellow line drunken steps, no regrets this is the wrong fret An empty field Nothing revealed A patch of mud That never healed All your life An early frost Lost

I’m talking to whoever’s listening It’s dark but I’m not just whistling They don’t like the way we sound When our ears are pressed to the ground When the signals begin to make sense When we’re sprinting to jump the fence When the devils in pursuit are real Wearing the faces of the ones we feel When the data has all been tapped And we’ve had our very last laugh This is the last transmission When they’re locked in and they’re getting near And its our families we’re starting to fear When the white vans keep circling the block Leaving outlines marked in chalk When the country is reciting the pledge While we’re perched on the window ledge Staring down into the alley below And we can feel the vertigo Say it with a whisper, not a shout We need to find a way out This is the last transmission All our friends have fallen asleep They go unconscious at the count of three 1 -2 -3, 3-2-1 There’s nothing more to be said The language all in the red The words are all spinning apart Wheels flying off the Safeway cart The end doesn’t make a sound Babylon is coming down The termination of the mission This is the last transmission Check the message on your phone I don’t want to die alone

This is the soundtrack of my life: Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing! This is the soundtrack of your life Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing! This is the soundtrack of our lives Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing! This is the soundtrack Somehow a somehow a somehow might escape This is the soundtrack This is the soundtrack Nothing!

Cut a Hole 02:31
I can’t see, I can’t see, I can’t see (Cut a hole, cut a hole, cut a hole) I can’t hear, I can’t hear, I can’t hear (Cut a hole, cut a hole, cut a hole) I can’t breath, I can’t breath, I can’t breath (Cut a hole, cut a hole, cut a hole) Is that the sharpest knife you have? I’m going to have to take that back Are those the dreams you dream at night? The beliefs that you recite? The way you spend your days? The winding paths in your maze? Cut a hole, cut a hole, cut a hole Is this the sharpest knife I have? Take it back, take it back, take it back. I can’t see, I can’t see, I can’t see (Cut a hole, cut a hole, cut a hole) I can’t hear, I can’t hear, I can’t hear (Cut a hole, cut a hole, cut a hole) I can’t breath, I can’t breath, I can’t breath

"Heady yet visceral."
- Vol. 1 Brooklyn

"Charlotte's coolest art-punk collective."
- Queen City Nerve

"An art-rock band, fond of tonal shifts, off-beat, and, at times, orchestral music, all laid carefully and expertly down over an indie rock basis. Both dark and mysterious... haunting... sometimes flat-out eerie... I have to admit, I’m saddened to see the end of this series of four EPs."
- The Typescript

Jeff Jackson - Lyrics, vocals and chanting
