i can't shake my beliefs
burn em down to the ground
watch it spread like disease
i don't know who i am
falling apart altogether was never in my plans
we were dead before we ever even showed up
we were gone before the needle ever hit our skin
i can hardly even focus
cause the good days are gone and they're never coming back again
i can leave when i want to
i can live in the moment
or watch it pass me by
i can change if i have to
i know that things will get better in time
we were dead before we ever even showed up
we were gone before the needle ever hit our skin
i can hardly even focus
cause the good days are gone and they're never coming back again

theres a place inside my head
filled with things i never think
it aint the past that holds me back
its a culmination of everything
theres a place inside my heart
where no one wants to go
theres a place and theres a time
honey but you gotta let me know
theres a chain around my leg
to make sure i never leave
theres an ocean in my bed
that makes it hard to breath
theres a place inside my heart
where no one wants to go
so if your heart is black like mine
all you gotta do is paint it gold

its a cold feeling
man I'm feeling cold
its that old familiar feeling
the feeling of getting old
its that train rollin
coming down the line
if that train keeps to rollin
ill be gone by the morning time
its a strange feeling
man I'm feeling strange
its them drugs that your dealing
making me want to stay
its that train rollin
coming down the line
if that train keeps to rollin
ill be gone by the morning time
its gettin old (x4)

Plagued with the truth.

i can be coy or i can be patient
i can sit back but I'm already waiting
i can't get back all the moments i wasted
i can get drunk but I'm already faded
all that i am is plagued with the truth
and all that i am is plagued with the truth
i can be friendly or i can be faceless
i could make love to eyes that are vacant
if i could go back you know that id change this
everything i did to make you feel weightless
all that i am is plagued with the truth
and all that i am is plagued with the truth

i sit alone
and try to forget
i know that it gets hard
but something gotta give
its gonna take a little time
time to move along
i know that it gets hard
but you gotta carry on
run towards the sun
and i will be right there holding your hand
run towards the sun
and i will be right there holding your hand
i sit alone
and try to forget
all the shit I've done
but something gotta give
its gonna take a little time
time to move along
i know that it gets hard
but you gotta carry on
run towards the sun
and i will be right there holding your hand
run towards the sun
and i will be right there holding your hand

Pretty bad car crash.

you rolled with the tide
then you got smart and changed your mind
i dont wanna be the one to break your stride
but i found myself
in every petal that fell from the flowers you held
and i said love, aint that enough
love aint that enough
did you ever really love somebody
the way that i do
er the way that i did
when i only had eyes for you
i lose my mind
in every picture of you that i find
i dont wanna be a bastard in your eyes
but i found my plans
at the bottom of the bottle I've been holding in my hands
and i said love aint that enough
love aint i enough
did you ever really love somebody
the way that i do
er the way that i did
when i only had eyes for you

if the breaks give out
and the forrest eats your car
if the ambulance you take
leads you somewhere near my heart
let it all catch fire
while we all fall apart
if the lake dries out
with the hopes for a new start
if the ambulance you take
leads you somewhere near my heart
let it all catch fire
while we all fall apart

Coke Rush.

caught up in the coke rush
all bent out of shape and lonesome
fed up with all the small talk
how time stops when I'm alone
maybe things will change when I'm gone
ore maybe I'm wrong
maybe I'm wrong
maybe I'm wrong
sleep tight by my bedside
i think we all just need some sleep
26 to 28
is just a means to get by
maybe things will change when I'm gone
ore maybe I'm wrong
maybe I'm wrong
maybe I'm wrong

one foot on the front porch
and one foot in the door
im gonna run till i can't run no more
my hands in my pockets
and my head hanging low
ill use the tracks as a map to guide me home
my tongues all tied up
but in the back of my head
i know in the end you'll all make cents
my tongues all tied up
i know in the end you'll all make cents

time is but a grain of sand
sitting in an hourglass
sitting in the devils hands
so god damn hail satan
were just trying to sell our souls to make us famous
but i just wanna make you smile
i just wanna make you laugh
i just wanna take you out
i wanna make you proud
all my life I've been laying on a bed of knives and rusty nails
now I'm sadder than I've ever been
but I'm glad yer doin well
life is just a crooked grin
sitting on the face of a broken man
and thats all it ever was
so god damn hail satan
were just trying to sell our souls to make us famous
but i just wanna hold your hand
i just wanna make you mine
i just wanna take you out
i wanna make you proud
all my life I've been laying on a bed of knives and rusty nails
now I'm sadder than I've ever been
but I'm glad yer doin well

melanchole (remaster)
by salvia palth
supported by 8 fans who also own “sixteen”
This album is far from being in my top 20 albums in life, however, I listened to two songs a lot a couple of years ago: girl and i was all over her. The title of the songs and the circumstance that the song addresses are evident. It is a good album that in 2023 I gave it a spin again that I quite liked 4/5. It is a steal to buy this album at the price I did $1, but it more easily promotes the content and the desire to have a copy in WAV.

Stirring psych folk from this Portland artist that centers warm baritone vocals in a cradle of acoustic guitar.
