Now I'll save my own life again
Scrub dishes one at a time
Salt the water, walk away
Watched pot proverbs in mind
Break the brittle angel hair
Over the foaming silver pot
Turquoise strainer on the counter
Jar of premade pasta sauce
Eat while watching television
Rebinge sitcoms from NBC
we are all protagonists
Fall asleep during alien 3
Wake up just to go to bed
Rub my eyes rinse out the pot
Netflix asks "are you still watching?"
Three AM turn the lights off
Getting pretty good at making
weekdays go by
Keep my head down, smoke a
few, and watch time fly
Might as well be watching the paint dry
Might as well be watching the paint dry
Before I know it, spring
turns into fall
Just Killing time between
visits and calls
All in all it's just another stall
All in all it's just another stall
Green tea on the greyest days
Can't tell you what I did this week
Golden bruised sunset healing
Color palette mysteries
Sunlight fills an empty room
And hangs out there all day
It's energy is more productive
Than when I do the same
Except for sticky bass line hooks
At twelve I couldn't relate
To all consuming apathy
Living Longview by Green Day
But this daily drone
Still falls into meter
A baseline grounded hum
To fill out the rhythm
cat flicks its tail
Streetlights turn off
The thumb presses The rubber button
& the tv screen wakes up
Invisible rhythms all around us,
We snap to and quantize
Like looking at a map of a city
You’ve never been inside
Imagining grids in north and south
As horizontal 4/4 time
The bus's route - a sampled loop
Rush hour's tempo climbs
the electric bill falls on the floor
and doesn’t make a sound
a cloud crawls across the sky
But we stick around
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2022
In songs that swing from giant and anthemic to distortion-caked and widescreen, Lightning Cult conjure galaxies of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2022
