Bonfires On Thin Ice

take off your make up
and kill me slow
you float up above
I rest below
nature pursues
the trees so tall
I hope one doesn't fall
on me
drive down the highway
into the fog
Bear and Man
sitting on a log
talking about the peril
in the world
about the boys and girls
who play
in the killing fields
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
Brownsville ruins
spirits charade
tears washed away
the plans we made
violent pursuit
of hollow fame
death to those who claim
they did nothing wrong
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
and I will hunt you down
make you wish you never
laid your dirty hands
on the purity of love
on the sanctity of love
I will hunt you down
swallow your pills
and drink your milk
wash off the mud
lay on your silk
chase away the past
and start anew
your future is today
your future is today
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
of an eye

Silverfish Eat Serotonin
00:59

high drunk on your liquid patience
blood red ego silverfish swim
in your mind eat serotonin
hurt your head
futures gone
rusty nails inside
close your eyes
close your eyes
and kiss goodbye
close your eyes
kiss goodbye

Those bedroom eyes
watching the frames
in the sky again
ashes fall
from the cigarette
the cigarette
Lipstick smile
tiny hands hold back
the beast again
baby calls
the silence is all
the silence is all
you drift into the headlights
you shed your skin on the open road
secrets are burned and buried
it's all to close, it's all to close
that shiny car
hides a dirty mind
that spins again
music kills
on the radio
on the radio
you drift into the headlights
you shed your skin on the open road
secrets are burned and buried
it's all to close, it's all to close
I dream electric dreams
electric dreams I dream
of you
you drift into the headlights
you shed your skin on the open road
secrets are burned and buried
it's all to close, it's all to close

Needle Down Equinox

|
you can't find the colors
Christ who mock the flock
in front of you
the bleach on those who matter
the taste of metal behind your eyes
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
now
needle down now
now
needle down now
you can't stand the signal
the mental squeeze from your TV
why can't someone touch you?
where are the words,
it's just emoticons
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
now
needle down now
now
needle down now
deer runs
superfluous fawn
metal killing machines
are on their way
the deer will win
in the end
heaven is full of lost souls
wandering to find their names
wondering where they came from
and where they're supposed to go
and why they are here
maybe they're the deer?
you can't find the colors
find the colors
you can't take the signal
the mental squeeze
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
now
needle down now
now

I found your diary
cascade of sadness
buried beneath the
tree swing
by the lake
you used to
swim in

Donker Los Angeles, California

The once acoustic only songs expanded into full blown rock band tracks collabing with Chris Magallon (drums on "Dying Star" from The Pocket Rockets and former band mate Matt Donaldson (guitars) both in California. ... more
Donker recommends:
Stellar album that coalesces past and present sounds into a dreamy pop album
go to album
Hello Beautiful Nothing
by Wall of Ears
I love albums that transport me elsewhere and C.W. Lott is a space man when it comes to the psychedelic aesthetic. The album is trippy and vast. Feels like you are time traveling.

The Hollow Down by the Flare
by burnt pixels
Burnt Pixels take proggy rock / noise rock to dreamy places. I am inspired by the soundscape they produce and their tendency to take chances to push thing to the front that you normally would not.
