BEARDFEST 2013 PROMO (by BEARDSPACE)
I used to let that get to me
Now I look for the good in it
You will too
I wish this wasn’t happening
But all I can do is look away
You will too
Behind every day lit corner of you
A shadow is growing in me
One too many holes I’ve had to avoid
That could not be deeper in the earth
So many ideas I’ve tried to ignore
That follow me into my bed
One too many thoughts I’ve had to avoid
That could not be deeper in my head
I used to let that get to me
Now I look for the good in it
Behind every day lit corner of you
A shadow is growing in me
One too many thoughts I’ve had to avoid
That could not be deeper in my head
With your eerie eyes, better luck next time
If you can’t see me, then I can’t see you
With your eerie eyes, better luck next time
Listen/purchase The Night I Killed Steve Shelley by The Tea Club
Please forgive my friend
He reads all those stories
Of strange lights and weather balloons
Said he saw one last year
Drop behind the mountains
I told him he was an atheist
We stayed outside an hour
To meet the Queen and her friends
They had been making honey
But we were there for some pictures…
It was late when we started seeing lights
They were used to seeing lights
The White Rhino asked me for the safest way home
My intent was pure but misguided
Now I keep my mouth shut when asked for advice
If he ever found his way, I don’t know…
There’s a little shadow box of porcelain dolls and they sparkle
Only when you look at them
There’s a little shadow box of aging dolls and they sparkle
Only when you look at them

Give some more,
That’s what you’re here for
Come, now go,
Through me
It won’t be long,
Well, maybe later…
Don’t stop ‘til
I say
Give some more,
That’s what you’re here for
Come, now go,
Through me
Don’t stop now,
Give ‘til the last drop
Pierce its film,
So I may taste the yolk…
(Don’t forget, on a sunny afternoon
All the time that was accounted for
Goes through me
Maybe you can
Pry it out
Of my mouth
All the time that was accounted for
All the time that was accounted for…)
As I go forward thinking rubbing holes in every page,
Ships will be leaving in the night
Growing uncertain I can see, now you wanna know why,
He’s human, after all
As I eat every diamond word, ripped to shreds between my teeth
I’m not worried by the scabs
Off the clock, off the record, stop the tape, take me in my sleep
I knew you were gonna pull this
More give me more give me more give me more give me
No one wants to long for this
Mr. Punch comes to life, rips every word to shreds between his teeth
Give me more of the same
Give me more of the same
Give me more of the same
I shall consume everything
Moon, thy gentle glow doth wither among them
Thy gentle glow doth wither
Thy gentle glow doth move
We ran too far and further along still
We ran too far and further
We ran too far and knew
Only some will live forever like us
Only some will live forever
Only some will live forever…

Make a little box with a little bow
Hide it in the dark in a secret place
You might get by And never know What the damage was
Do you know who told you everything you’re telling me?
Don’t think about it It’ll go away
You’ll forget about it In a sacred home
Have faith in what you don’t believe
You’re the lucky ones
Do you know who told you everything you’re telling me?
And catch a bug (Out of the oceans)
Pull out his wings (Into the history books)
Give him to your kids (We were the first and are the last)
Show them how we live (Created as tormentors for the rest)
Made to torment the rest
Do you really think That you really know
What you really want?
Do you know who told you everything?
Saw a life changing scene, shrugged my shoulders and left
Now I’m one of you leading remarkable lives
He used to look out the window
And his mind would move in patterns
With the light that never warmed him
And he saw how easy it would be
To go there someday
And it’s wrong
That I don’t understand you
But in our place
There was shown new love
And mercy
(via venusinfurrrsss)
Someone left the door unlocked
Now all the wolves are getting in, getting in
Someone left the window open
All the vultures are circling, circling
Better to wake the dead
Than to stir the living
A new day
I will see all this pass into a new day
We recommend never more than once
Thank You Scientist & The Tea Club!

This is another drawing I made for the Quickly Quickly Quickly album booklet
Drawing I made for Quickly Quickly Quickly album art
From now on this place will have no power
It disappeared from the room, like it was just a dream
And all that was will be as still as sleep
It disappears as the doors close without a whisperYou can see smoke through the cracks under the door
It’s not safe here, All worlds are cruel
You can see smoke, and if you don’t get out soon
You’ll fall asleep And never wake up
And this is what happens when you wait for a miracle To pull you out
Just when I thought someone else Was gonna take care of it
It turned out that I had to Do it all along
Keep away from that room with The Carnation Laurel Leaf Mirror Image
Keep away from that room with The Carnation Laurel Leaf Mirror Image
Just when the concrete had dried, When the foundation was set
When we though we had all night, See the Sun come up…From now on this place will have no power
It disappeared from the room, like it was just a dream
And all that was will be as still as sleep
It disappears as the doors close without a whisper
And on that day, you were saved You were shown another way
And I was there to see the devil let you go with a whisper
From now on this place has lost all it’s power
Have no care, He said it would be so
All the words had meaning All The people screaming
And I looked up to the sky and saw you were goneBefore I go, sing to me of the Lion and the Lamb
And I will seem as of one returning to the womb
And tell me stories of heroes worthy of imitation
And of a God presiding over a world full of meaning
Who steals the years When you’re running from the day?
Come back and sing to me
The only good that could have come of this
Is if I learned from my mistakes
But still I’m pulled in by an iron tide
That knocks me down, right back in the sand
They made me wait outside ’til I fell asleep
There was so much snow, I couldn’t move
And when I woke up, I was in love with bad ideas
And cold weather moods
When I came back after the storm had passed
And realized how long I’d been gone
I set out looking for the people that
I used to know, before I fell asleep
But they left me in the pool ’til I learned to swim
There was so much rain, I couldn’t breathe
And when I closed my eyes, the things I used to see had changed…But then, I hear a siren and a voice say
“The love that you were seeking was worth waiting for”
Heart in hand, The Iron Woodsman clears a path
I’m on my roof, as everything turns white
Someone is carrying me
And taking me to the Stars, Sun, and Moon
And when I woke up, the things I used to feel were gone
