josh bulman I love it because I love Elijah. But even if he didn't make it or if I didn't know him I would stumble across it somehow by fate and seek out to get to know him and hope he wouldn't be too stuck up from being so good at making music. Favorite track: The Sick-Gray Faces.

sun on my back skin of the lime is the ground all around me leaves of the grass pointed upright till the sun rolls over time to lay down we know what it's like to live through a day
2.
All the doors are open a crack and we got light coming in from the stars Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming I can't tell if its light smoke neither or both but we got something coming in from the stars Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming Well my right side is in it And my left side is just something else Well my right side is in it And my left side is just something else And I hate all of you But I'll leave you each breathing And I hate all of you But I'll leave you each breathing Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming Something's coming (x2)

I wander all night on light feet Opening doors and closing 'em behind me Passing through with all kinds of purpose I get swallowed by a swarm of evil I'm gonna plummet from its neck I'm gonna die in my seat I'm gonna die in my seat I'm gonna die in my seat
4.
I’m gonna move tectonic just for fun Cause an earthquake just to watch you all run I’m going west going west to beat the sun My name a warmly sung treaty my myth stolen from the young Bumping up against the walls of heaven I’m Leonard Cohen dragging my rifle across the great divine Me and you we’ll be eaten in time I’m Leonard Cohen dragging my rifles across the great divine The ice caps are melting and the seas opening up the downward spirals behind and up is up is up is up I’m lost evil like a wasp in swarm I’m pumping my breath And I’m dragging on

I'm pumpin' my breath I'm just a little sleeper Weaker than you And I'm pioneering a whole new world on bloody soil And I'm greater now than I was once And have always been I got something here Under these broken trees I planted something here And I can't take it all back with me but I can bring someone who will And I can't build it all back but I can love you still I can love you still Isn't this tragedy the worst Isn't this tragedy the worst And Im just before bed and at the foot of a mountain And I'm right here before bed And I'm at the foot of a mountain
