From the recording Black Silence
Black Silence — about being introspective about your own dark corners and telling everyone to leave you alone. Sung in a deep register, in the territory of late-era Johnny Cash. Recorded with multiple takes, no overdubs, no pitch correction, no click track.
Lyrics
I see a twisted, gnarled old dying tree staring back at me
I reach for lilies, and grab some shit instead
Soft is loud and hard is quiet, all I get is black silence
Soft is loud and hard is quiet, all I get is black silence
I throw a punch at nothing and get a wink back
I swing and miss at the wall, but the wall is not there yet
All I know is hard is quiet
All I get is black silence
All I know is hard is quiet
All I get is black silence
I've been living without gravity,
for a couple years now it gets the best of me
Soft is loud and hard is quiet
All I get back is black silence
Soft is loud and hard is quiet
All I get back is black silence
I scream the words and get echoes back,
echoes of some dying rats
And all I want is black silence
And all I need is black silence
And all I want is black silence
And all I need is black silence
