lyrics

we were waking up as the sun went down
pockets empty, paid the federales off
who what where when and why
I didn’t know
doing everything I can
so that I don't

I was the first to see the driver lose control
we bake our bodies in the sand as a ritual
thread through a needle’s eye
tailored to fit
to want for nothing and ask
is this all there is?

sky is guard and sun is prisoner

paint me in the corner and lock the key
just promise from time to time you’ll think of me
and every day that passes
priced high or free
consider they’re all signed, best wishes
a gift from me
they’re all gifts from me

sky is guard and sun is prisoner

I don’t know why I go anywhere
I don’t know why I deserve anything

Under The Sun
by Mark Pritchard

I love the space in between everything he's doing, and how every sound is manicured to be as pure as possible. "Infrared" and "Beautiful People" are big highlights for me. Jaws of Love.

Double Negative

BJ Burton's production work on this was like a compass for Danny Reisch (co-producer) and I. The brutality and crushing of everything is so breathtaking. "Dancing and Blood" blows my mind every time. Jaws of Love.
