Atrocities 03:22
It’s late, too late for me to be awake, but my vaca state stays steady And though I hate to related to a convoluted place in this case it’s Californ-i-a ‘Cause they know how to glimmer in the lime light But I’m told they’re all alike Oh oh ohh Garish, golden hot, no molten Sought by those who love atrocious things Namely me Cheapened by religious bigots Twins and triplet bought in quantity A shining star of irresponsibility Ohhh what a lovely plight Such a selfish sight to see, debauchery All packaged up and priced Nice to own the rights you see, speaking monetarily They sell the biggest, bestest, most salacious bloated in a corpse of tasteless scenes And families Hitting every target marketing departments’ got this lock and key And everybody’s tryin’ to Wieden Kennedy It’s a dog and pony tryptic The tease and trite and taunt Repetitious if you missed it Something’s always on so Succumb to incomes, the wisdom of sums Yes what money makes Has no mistake And regulates Our human nature Ohhh what a lovely plight Such a selfish sight to see, debauchery All packaged up and priced Nice to own the rights you see, speaking monetarily Pirate it or press your buttons Piously corrupt Makes the perfect Prerecorded Plaster cast And well exported Old deported- -ly important Press in plague proportion Incapaci- -tated pasts Explained from one presumption But l'm prolly old Just pissin' prose So pardon me I'm sleep De- -praved ‘Cause it’s late Too late For me to be awake

Mind Bells 03:05
I bash my head against the concrete ‘cause it’s as soft as anything that’s held my mind incessantly this week. I wring my hands until they’re flaking. They’re dry. They’re cracked. They’re suffering just like my lips when opening to speak. I gnaw my fingers down to nubs and beg for the infection ‘cause bleeding’s not enough; I need the pus. I consider such disgust a daily affirmation that everything I love will soon corrupt. (Chorus) Mind mind Ego away Id you can stay if you’re kind, fine Mind mind Maybe you’ll break or I’ll change you in time I haven’t medicated lately ‘cause side effects are usually excuses for my faculties to leak, But when I took the drugs they gave me, they made me high and seizury which I can be illegally I think. Now talking’s just a crutch and pills are for addiction, but either way it sucks to give it up, but I’ve already said too much. I’ll stick with my conviction that everything I love was nothing that I wanted to discuss (Chorus)(x2)

I Is O Are 05:09
I come from a family of singers and songers that linger a little bit longer than anyone else My bones, made of choruses, from every orifice flow all the stories, they’re always about myself I’s complicated at best I’s a mess I’s a tragedy all on it’s own I’ve been wheeling and dealing for rest I digress But I never quite leaves me alone I makes me go Van Gogh Go Poe (Chorus) I is superstition, religion, ambition, compulsion, compulsion, compulsion The center of suspension, invention, and questioning I won’t be played or made for a fool My teeth are gnashed smooth. Go on, look for nooks and crannies, betcha you won’t find too many, no And my heart beats ooo too cool. Sure, I’ve had love aplenty, but it’s all so arbitrary ‘cause I’s too marvelous for words, but hideous in turn to me And internally I curse its grasp All hips and tits and casualties But for all we’ve sown well makes me go D’Onofrio Go Poe (Chorus)x2

Sassyfrass 02:40
Perhaps my way of thinking is confused or indirect, I’ve been accused of things I never thought to try They taint my name and cellophane the punctuational remains; their explanation point obtuse and dry It’s hard to understand me when I kick and when I scream, but you’re mistake if you think it leaves me spent After taking all my anger, all my sorrowed suffering, you left my blissful blubbering to pay the rent But it can’t Argue all you want you know it can’t (Chorus) So, I’ll be in ambiguous places Where the tortoise loses the race Where the blankets cover the space heaters Every athlete throws every game Rugged boys have feminine names Pools of salt and buckets of shame to spare If you need me (I’m there) If ever I have fought a fight that failed in my wake, I’ll be the first to claim mistakes and say I’m wrong But lately I’ve been braving fates I rarely undertake to reinstate the hate that keeps me hangin’ on Now, I know that you still love me when I kick and when I scream, but you’re mistaken if you think I love you back After harboring my illness, after spreading my disease, it’s such a pity you can’t reason out the facts And relax Take a pill and chill out and relax (Chorus) So, treat me rough and inhumane ‘Cause what good is love when restrained Call me cold; call me unjust; call me just insane But how could I have warned you That I could not conform to The love that you swore to obtain
5.
Gentlemæn 02:58
Skittish, elusive, it’s a fact They hide their trail so well it makes them hard to track, but Look for signs that I should know For I have hurt at least 3 or so It doesn’t mean they were never here They just have a tendency to disappear The door’s always open, I made it warm for you And I’ve even drawn the curtains despite the beautiful view So tell me I’m pretty, I’m all the things you like Charming and witty and I’ll smile to be polite, but Gentlemen, you know it’s all for show I need in me an animal It doesn’t mean I don’t want you near Your company is trite, but it’s so sincere The door’s always open, I made it warm for you And I’ve even drawn the curtains despite the beautiful view

My Argument 04:32
My age is a factor is folly My fears are retracting once more The numb of a cum is exactly what I’m tasking for So I’ll go for a ride in your cadi Your grubby hands mauling my skull It’s just what we’re left with and sadly it’s intentional You ask why I run this way But not where I’m going And you’re sure that I’m playing safe With no way of knowing You turn for a double take And I seem to be glowing I’ll return after several days Though I’m no longer showing Seduction, a past-time, a hobby That’s been soothing the sores of my soul How can one that’s behaving so badly be so wonderful Well there’s cracks in the sides of my story That’ll burst if you search for the core No, I’ll never be settled or sorry, but I’ll give you more And you ask why I run this way But not where I’m headed And you wish you knew what to say Oh, but it’s all so upsetting While you preach of a better place I bawk ‘neath the bedding Well, who’s asking you anyways I’ll talk when I’m, when I’m ready For my shoulders are colder than normal My back is embracing the fall My argument’s over and over I guess that’s all

Dangaqueous 02:21
On the banks Of the river Lived a young Orphan maid She had swore To her mother They’d rejoin One Day So she let the waves overtake her She let them wash her away Oh the banks Of the river Oh that young Orphan maid Now, there’s a camp On the shoreline It’s a fam- -Ily of five The don’t va- -Cation often But the stars had aligned Oh they want to play in the ocean While ignoring the rip tide warning sign Oh the camp On the shoreline Oh that family of fi-ei-ei-ei-ive There’s a ship in the water It was downed by the rain All the sea-lively creatures Saw to seamen’s decay But the hull holds a secret That remains to this day Oh the ship in the water And the treasures contained
8.
I’m living the life of a lion I’m living the life of a queen When I come on distressed I offer my breast Within hours I’m dying to leave I married the mouth of the mountain And buried it deep in the sea So hunters, come gather Come plunder my blabber Just to find that my mind is a tease (Chorus) For who entertains entertainers And who gets busy pulling the weeds Well, my cup, runneth over I’ve created a monster That’s tragically easy to please I’m hinting at nothing I’m blatantly bluffing I’m skirting the issues around I’m playing with fire Inside your desire And casually burning it down You’re practically begging for Answers in metaphors You couldn’t make on your own So, I’ll keep on pretending That I’ve read the ending So you can feel partially whole (Chorus)
9.
Revel in the evolution sitting at your doorstep Waiting to be opened Addressed from everywhere Life and death in increments emerge from ‘neath the wrapping Releasing and retrapping The beasts behind your stare As a child I learned to file my talents into grouping For challenges and musings Depending on the need But my constructs have been abruptly damaged through the ages And something very strange has surfaced recently That I ain’t the common folk I ain’t a soldier I ain’t that rum and coke that kept you from your sober I ain’t a debutant I ain’t a sucker I ain’t a dime a dozen, a motherfuckers motherfucker I smoke my cigarettes with vigor Make a sinner of a singer Sell my salary for calories to control what I can ‘Cause it’s been overdue and far too long Since flaws have given pause to man It’s the same most everyday you walk upon the water The magma and the lava Insisting that you’re fine Breathing air that’s always there you calculate your value Based on those around you And rules that you’ve contrived But I set to redirect I set to tossel I set to intersect your demons with the gospel I set to disconnect From set corrections I set to interject your sermon of perfection While I gurgitate my innards I would urge you to consider All the logic in the positive, the morose, and the mad ‘Cause it’s been overdue and far too long Since flaws have given pause to man I get sicker While you get safer I set the tone But you’re the echo
10.
Fulcrum 03:55
I don’t get your illicit affair with splitting the hair of the dog ‘til it’s bare And I don’t believe in the meaning of fair, it seems so terribly easy to tear And repair Into your own definition But compared Mine’s pure devastation ‘Cause ‘X’ is the weapon for every herd, but balance That’s the powerful word I don’t know if either is worse, be blessed or be cursed where the chest is concerned But I’ve heard of girls whose surgeries earned them the bruise of the battered, the broken, the burned What a shame She had such potential Now who’s to blame The mother or the Motrin ‘Cause ‘X’ is the cure-all for every herd, but balance Baby, that’s the powerful word I don’t care if you’re fiscally sore, if your clothes have been worn by so many before If the money you hold’s from a high interest loan that you won’t pay in full ‘til your kids are adults Those dimes They shine by the dozen But your smile Is one in a million ‘Cause ‘X’ is the dollar for every herd, but balance Baby, that’s the powerful word Yeah

Hugbutter 04:17
Embracing Sends my heart a-flutter Racing Into scenes I’ve never been before, that’s for sure Engaging In your arms is quite disgracing Too the boys who had to come before, that’s for sure With your pursed lips beggin’ for a kiss kiss makes me feel a swoon comin’ on Better catch me ‘cause I’m feelin’ lightly headed and the room’s spinnin’ ’round (Chorus) I never knew x3 That I could be so girly You really threw x3 Me for a loop I thought I’d do just what i do, but then you sent me whirlin’ I thought you were too good to be really true You should have told me told me baby honey Now baby I’ve been needin’ you to Save me From the men who barrel down my door, that’s for sure See ‘cause safety Dwells within your arms And lately I’ve been feelin’ like I need su’more, that’s for sure With your smooth touch givin’ me a head rush and leavin’ me in a weightless state Boy you’re much too much, a sick and cruel injustice and it’s more than I can take (Chorus) Should I pretend that it doesn’t matter that you love me better than another lover would? Could I pretend that my head’s in the game? (Chorus)x2

Free Bird 03:37
Someone wrote a quote I heard of a quiet bird in remote parts of the world His song is the longest song for it never starts, he just strings you right along Men travel overseas They topple ancient trees They risk unknown disease Just to render what they’ll never see It’s said that with plumage spread it looks brown and red and it’s legs are aubrigine But then others say it’s skinny with hints of tinny around its beak and feet I’ve heard outrageous tales Of monsters, spooks and whales Of love and happiness Without a shred of evidence Hold on what’s that sound Pooled pasts, run afoul But it takes one to know one well And I can tell that you’ve been apprehensive Acting out your own defenses How absurd To catch a bird Half-hardened and mostly bartered away, your heart is decaying rapidly Here’s hopin’ your eyes take focus, you finally notice you’re in good company I don’t know if you need To push or just recede To understand the breed Of vibrant, silent, free aves

Her Death 04:04
I went to the movies A multi-feature show A reincarnate fest She was every options’ plot She The cunt I can’t forgot She The cast, the caustic banshee I sat alone distracted i brought my knitting, ‘cause I knew I’d have the time She was man and woman crime and column Sage and Bedlam She was easy to predict Though I stayed for ages Lightly glancing at the stage The part I always watched was The part I always watched was her death I went to a movie A gaian fantasy A bit too close to home She was raised on death and pus She Much luckier in love She And pondering a family I sat and stared beside me I squinted harder just to grip the fading scenes She planned games to play Things to make And names ‘Til the doctor entered left Though I begged; though I pleaded But she finally found the one The only part I watched was The only part I watched was her death

about

Grey for Days Portland, Oregon

Grey for Days lyrically gurgitates emotion while flirting with the rules of music and performance. Composed of 6 members, Grey have a sound that has been compared to everything from Adele to Dresden Dolls. With layers foggy brass, voluptuous keys, alchemic rhythms, smoove bass, and smoky vocals, their music refracts thoughtful chaos. Their captivated audiences can’t help, but to be seduced. ... more
