The Doldrums

Here lies the stump of that evil tree
For many moons it cast shadow over sea
One of its limbs hung off the cliff
It called to men, the working stiffs
One by one
They come
Stuck in the doldrums
One by one
The fallen sons
Stuck in the doldrums
See the times were hard for the working man
He saw no way out no way to win
So he’d scale the trunk no need for noose round neck
Hang from that limb let go into the abyss
One by one
They come
Stuck in the doldrums
One by one
The fallen sons
Stuck in the doldrums
One by one
They come
One by one
Stuck in the doldrums
No way out
No way back in
Over the edge to bring the end
And who still remembers?
There are some
I can’t be the only one
And who still remembers

Sun-Washed Memory

I was a kid
Walking with mom
Hand in hand
We counted the squeezes
We counted he cracks on the sidewalk
We counted he cracks on the sidewalk
Sun-washed memory
Its fadin in and out of me
Sun-washed memory
Its fadin out
Around the hydrant
And back home
There the image fades
On the return
A photograph in the fire
And a million days in between
A photograph in the fire
And a million days in between
Sun-washed memory
Its fadin in and out of me
Sun-washed memory
Its fadin out
Sun washed memory
Sun washed memory
I don’t know when it’ll hit
But it’ll hit me like a brick
Stop me in my tracks
Cause I know, there’s no way to go back
loose fragments in my head
Bouncing around clinging to live
loose fragments in my head
Bouncing around clinging to live
Sun washed memory
Sun washed memory
On the other side
mom’s last days
I said all I have is you
and dad and D
And she held me as I cried
The next day she died
And she held me as I cried
The next day she died

Pigs Blood
04:07

A night to remember, or run away
Peer out the window pacing
A night to remember, or run and hide
If its a trick, I’ll flip the switch
Flex the mind
Pigs blood
Covered in red
Pigs blood
They will be dead
Pigs blood
block the way
Pigs blood
Destruction today
Life was misery up until now
It felt so surreal when they placed the crown
Walking on air, smiles everywhere
then it all flipped when the blood rained down
Flex the power
Lock the doors
they run to the leave
control the hoard
An electric spark
will seal their fate
Watch them burn
Hear the scream
Walk the streets of this town
Flex my might
Burn it down
No longer will I be the freak to push around
For my gift has been unleashed
Mama
Mama
I’m coming for you
Mama
Mama
I’m coming for you
Theres nothing you can do

A Little Buzz

Just a lil buzz to take the edge
Everyday to wake up and out of bed
A little buzz in my head will get me by
Don’t want a frown on my face if I die
Little buzz in my head you grip me tight
Squeeze me all day and all night
Don’t need no check ins from my friends
By your side
All I need is that warm embrace and I abide
I abide
And I don’t want your help
And I don’t need anything else
And I don’t want your help
I don’t need anything else
little buzz
take the edge
I need the fuzz
Muffling the thoughts in my head
I don’t need your help
I don’t trust anyone else
Little buzz
please be true
I need you with me
to get me through
I don’t need help
I don’t need anything else

A Phantom in the Chaos

Many years ago, I shared this story in class
I was a just kid in grade school then
I said, “my brothers friend was killed by a drunk driver this weekend
He was walking home from the mall with a friend”
I remember what happened then
The kids pitied me
I read it on their faces
Let me cut the line
The attention made me cry cause I was shy
The attention made me cry cause I was shy
The ghost of a dead kid rides again
In my head
A phantom in the chaos
Now I’m a middle aged man and recently
I was introduced to a new client
He had the same name as the kid, pretty common actually
It didn’t register at first and then it hit me like a brick to the cranium
That picture in the year book, last page, in memoriam
And how it scared me, fucked me up, full stop, full dread
My brothers friend was dead
The ghost of a dead kid rides again
In my head
A phantom in the chaos
The ghost of a dead kid rides again
In my head
A phantom in the chaos

Until Delete
04:03
|

|
I search the sky and horizon
Under water and cool side of the stone
Somewhere there’s no armor
High definition turns into flesh and bone
Inspect my skin magnifier
Minute arrangements randomized
I know this thing that I’m looking for
Forever just beyond my blackened eyes
Years go by and I’m still tryin
To find these cracks underlying
If I do will there be meaning
I’ll just keep on if I’m still disbelieving

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...

Wyrd Syster is a groovy fuzzy trip. Excellent psychedelic rock and those riffs are insane.

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia. Here's my full review - https://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=12710

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.”

Barren Dominion is a tad slower than there previous album but way groovier and it essentially ROCKS! The bass lines are earth shattering and the vocals just soar on every track. Praise the Void King
