Capable 04:31
Well I could leave I'd just walk and walk and never come back Got to believe nobody's working on these heart attack so hard It's got to be something in our lifestyle the cholesterol and sodium I bypass my heart completely cuz I know what I'm capable of Try to be sweet Sugar baby got to give me some such a relief when you let it slip into your blood a new form of medication we all felt so deprived of hear em crying crying for mercy baby cuz i know what I'm capable of Get tired you get upset know you just going to say one time cuz I know that lonely feeling you know I've got mine Break things we make a mess we're acting smart we're asinine cuz I'd know that lonely feeling baby when you were mine cuz I could be the little filament in your darkest room you follow me your hands conduct resist the shocks the nerves always consume rubbing all along your gum line the pins and needles slightly numb I might close my eyes completely cuz I can't be afraid of your love I can't be afraid of your love

Now In every heart there's a tiny filament maybe it's something that you haven't quite discovered yet it's just an incandescent arc that warms our blood through summer days but wires can burn and wires can snap and winter's always on its way So now our angels thought to find a way to make our supernovas not so strained they say "build a light bulb for every star up in the galaxy so all our heavens can look down upon everything you used to mean to me" so no one hunts in neon lights these days you never know when you'll become the pray I been trying to find the ways to skin a wolf most delicately the incisions aren't my finest baby but I'm trying so hard you know I mean it's not a simple surgery. Maybe it only works if you believe... It's just a call to prayer the lights and sirens they'll ostentatiously let us bow our heads together baby to everything you used to mean to me said don't believe they say don't believe We bought the stores all out of christmas lights so somewhere that nebula it's still shining bright the copper strands will stretch along from star to star so easily that maybe you can just look up there and see now everything you used to mean to me.

Dougnut Shop 03:29
She used to always be my favorite at the doughnut shop, all those pink little cups of coffee. So who cares if you can't keep a job we're making it alright someday okay Cuz sometimes I just didn't know what to say maybe we just need a little vacation baby a little spray tan with that fairness cream been living on diet pills and doughnut dreams So cut the brakes now we're running you know it's only a smile and we'll be hypnotized Cuz we used to drive together everywhere we sip a little Andre from the bottle now she used to always love the extra dry I get a little nervous if the cops roll by unless we're lost in all those anthropomorphic daydreams I'm in our den of foxes baby I'm like the little bird who couldn't fly anywhere just drive one more time cross town Soldier boy seemed so cunning but now his last bate cry ends up so civilized keep smiling keep smiling cuz I'm always trying to stay between the lines still I been known to bend up a few fenders baby never think the wheels are coming off when you feel so good so good so good inside And we're running you know it's only a smile baby and we're so hypnotized

Waiting 04:57
It was a secret kind of kiss but I'd assumed that everybody would know Though we were cut from the same cloth now she's always walking rounding other people's clothes with a new tattoo on her lower back it says "I can't see you cuz I don't look back" My three-piece suit in my single bed I know I'm still just her invisible fool Somehow I'd think that things might change Somehow I thought I'd think I'd know But I've been waiting such a long long time Now don't it seem like years we been chasing the electricity of the night I'd always need everything going wrong just so that anything can feel alright So I suppose I should know it's true that she's looking just the same way at you We're all giving compliments between the sheets just so no one has to turn on the lights And if you think that things might change Cuz no one ever wants to know and I've been waiting such a long long time Felt it taking hold tonight and she's keeping her lips sealed tight she might be taking hold tonight oh no Our worthless hearts pretend they might shine through the curtain of visible light my worthless heart pretends it might oh no

about

The Gomorrans Oakland, California

Catharsis is a religious experience. Sin is universal. The Gomorrans seek to blend the two into a transcendent soul happening. Seeing the them is like smoking a $50 cigar that's sealed with the sweat from a Cuban woman's inner thigh, or freebasing powdered absinthe: you'll never be quite the same person. You'll know something the others don't. The Gomorrans tarnish your soul, but in a good way. ... more
