The Call

(you want to see it, want to tick it,
you want to lick it, want to kiss it
want to whisper in my ear bitch?
but I don’t give a fuck girl,
because you gave me a thousand bucks)
Ask can one un-ring a bell
A mutiny of you from me
Plink upon a clavinet
The exotic sounds of BLAHhHh
Always feeling like I knew
Who you were you but, never what
CH
Just from once come to me
When looking for what means the most
(clap bitches)
Denounce yourself and walk the street
A private and boring dream
Don’t ask yourself if it isn’t true
And wet your everything with cream
Kill the hippies, kill yourself
How you would but, never why
CH-
I call out your name in the night
And with certainty you are worthless
(clap bitches, why why why bitch, why why cunt why, clap bitches)

Barely wear enough to pad a crutch
(klip clop, no one)
your face is made up for taking a punch
I want to eat it and I will not wait
(CHOP CHOP)
CH-
Everyone loves you
Pain has just begun
Everyone hates you
Pain has just begun
Rough and ready to be never awake
(chugalug, no one)
how do you feel? I say pretty ok
Queen of the Losers!
Take it take it away
(CHOP CHOP)
CH -
What’s your name?
Fuckin nothing

Tonite is anything
Goodbye to anything
Outside of anything
Collide with everything
Ring a dong ding ding
Down on your knees
Ring a ding ding ding
Swallow defeat
Relief again
Ding ding dong ding
CH-
Wondering, maybe?
There’s not a chance, there’s never been
Destroyed by color on the wind
It is so clear it is so clean
And unforgivably obscene
Alive is anything
Alight to anything
Denied of anything
Surprised with everything
Oh love was stronger then
Life went on without end
Now to feel the sun
Burn our rights and wrongs
The shock of ash upon hope and peace
There’s not a dance that’s never been
Jealous of envy on the wind
It is plain it is so pure
And unforgivably obscure

A piano fell on my face
You told me to get up
When I could not control myself
You said to get up
Consciousness demolished
When I tried the pain inside
You said to hold it in
Love me forever
Don’t forget me
It’s late in the game to ask
But I’m still asking
A harmonica fell on my face
It did not hurt that much
If you leave no one will find my corpse
You said RISE FROM THE DEAD!
Sometimes a person cannot help what they do
You mumble to get up
Operating now without belief
You say sh sh sh
And to get up
Do you hate me because
I seem so stupid?
Or do you just very quickly
Hate me right back?
During the rape of everything decent
The flickering flames impressed me
A saxophone fell on my face
How is a mystery
When I am shocked by my own foolishness
You say you are not as shocked
Why I repeat that I am shocked by own foolishness
You get up and leave the room
Love me forever
Don’t forget me
It’s late in the game to ask
But I’m still asking you
You are the only reason I was born
You are the only reason I was born

The plague
That is your eyes
A joke to break ones heart
A joke to break your heart
CH
The dream of love to come
When you leave all life will end
The dream of love to come
When you leave all light will end
To bash
Through paradise
The skull that is your heart
The skull eats ones heart
CH
To want what you don’t want
To want what you don’t want
You called me a mattress

Too dumb to be this dumb
Too young to be this young
Don’t do too much
GoGo
Too glum to be a chum
Too brute to so cute
What have I done?
GoGo
Too ding to be bat
Too fat to so bad
Take me instead
GoGo
Too tight to be so tight
Too wrong to be this wrong
Don’t say hello
GoGo
Maybe a bunny
A hubby inside me
Dummy baby
Jenny Jenny! WHOA!
Too dead this dumb
Too dead to be this young
Sing me to sleep
GoGo
Too dig to be a dug
Too bear to be rug
What have I done?
GoGo
Crazy, crummy
A funny inside me
Fussy baby
Jenny Jenny! WHOA!

At Last, At Last

Go away, go far away
Don’t ever talk to me
Oh run away
Heaven’s call will never be for thee
CH-
Oh sorry you had to see it
Born dead
It has to be this way
Born dead
night is coming
Sorry it could be this way
At last at last
It’s come undone
Oh angel afraid to feel it (to want it)
Fear not
The day is done
To look at her
You are ashamed
Now look up to the sky
Oh to be free
to be alone
To be alone
all the time
CH-

Hack off for you
You felt for you
What name for thee
Other than thee?
Reduced to bone
Reduced to dust
Cross our the dawn
Could not enough
Un-beautiful, pale of the sun
Undignified, but it goes on
CH –
Forget!
Oh forget who you are
Don’t admit who you are
Oh to take and touch
And for once feel good
Was it wrong?
But said and done
With great relief
Rip out the dawn
To drink the drink
Hung from a chord
Un-beautiful
Hung from a chord
Forget!
Planet rock
Planet blush
Planet pure filth
Planet gigolette
Planet David Horvitz
You are to be named The Cigar
You are to called Candy Barr
You are to be named Hanky John
Undignified, as it goes one
Planet Rock
Planet No
Planet Rock

Petite
Purposeful like a pillbox
Nothing is wrong
For nothing does matter
Spelling trouble in the clouds
And making trouble in the clouds
This isn’t something your heart needs to know
A world of trouble falling down as snow
You feel worry and you should
You forced because you are
Where did your love for living go?
Recited off of your head stone
It was not my wish to be slave
What God wants She does
Empress of Blood and
Murderess of Fools
What God wants She does
Sweet Petite
Resolute as a rainbow
What is was and why it wont be
Spelling trouble in the clouds
And making trouble in the clouds
This isn’t something your heart needs to know
A world of trouble coming down as snow
You feel senseless and you should
You feel pointless for you are
Where did your of this life go?
Rubbed it off of your head stone
It was not my wish to be slave
What God wants She does
Duchess of Blood and
Murderess of Fools
What God wants She does

Faith, Torn Apart
07:55
|

The young offender at prayer
You look good in despair
Artemis of the job
I won’t when you stop
Faith, torn apart
No, no one
Yes, no one
(Batti Batti Batti Battitore
Inala Inala Inala oro
Elevati ora elevati orora)
Oh brother sleep
Oh sister finality
Your simple curtain
Opening ever opening
Mournfully appealing
What do you want me to do?
I want you to kill me
Crushed to death
Crushed to death
Fate, turn it out
Like a hole, turn it out
No, no one
Yes, no one
(Batti Batti Batti Battitore
Inala Inala Inala oro
Elevati ora elevati orora)
My room is a mess, my hair is black and blue
My new phone is pink, my dress is a fishnet dress
My face looks soft, my eye shadow is like Cleopatra
My contacts are bright green, my braces are real
My pose is for you, my freckles are for you
My shirt has no buttons, my finger is my mouth
My hijab is polka dot, my head is resting on my wrist
My gaze is never going to settle, my beauty mark is from a pen
My wig fell onto the pillow, my smirk is a shadow
My glasses have purple frames, my village is 6600 miles away
My arms are chubby, my nose smells horrible smells
My kiss comes from a scream, my heart is going to crack in half
My gold tooth is knocked out, my baseball hat hides the truth
My name is romantic, my thoughts are pretenders
My bra strap is a new feeling, my jaw is uneven and unsure
My posture is by demand, my skirt is thrown up over my head
My curls are fading fast, my ambition is still, it is still to be a star
My pajamas don’t fit very well, my knees hurt
My little shirt matches my little shorts, my skin feels like a breaking vase
My appearance will stress you out, my bikini looks dumb
My shower is the least refreshing thing about it
My only recourse is there is not recourse
My bindi has been rubbed to the side, my frown is for always
My family will never see me again, my goofy jokes hide my goofy damnation
My giggles excuse what just happened, my tears and my drool are all the same
My fear is for one and all, my dead end childhood is just beginning
My make up is like a rose, my motto is sham pain for my real friends
My age is on a card and cannot be disputed
My nails will be broken, my pelvis will be broken
My feather boa feels like the butcher shop, my favorite band is I don’t know
My complexion is flawless for hours, my awareness is the same as fainting
My party is private,
My day has been endless
My night cannot possibly go on
It doesn’t matter what you think
Do anything you like
Because I was born dead
And I was born to die

Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations.

A Crow Looked At Me
by Mount Eerie
supported by 86 fans who also own “FORGET”
Direct and Daunting. Simple and Strong. Raw and Rare. An album so personal and painful in subject matter, that even a casual listen feels almost unbearably voyeuristic. Truthfully, I can't bring myself to listen to this album more than once every year or so. Rest In Peace to Geneviève Castrée and to every person who you think about when you listen to A Crow Looked At Me. This is an incredible album, but rating it feels wildly inappropriate.
