My New Skin

You cut your hair and you changed your name
But I still think of you everyday
Not much of you is still the same
But you’re still beautiful in every way
Soon my memories will be gone
Wasting away in front of everyone
I am afraid of what I will become
In my new skin
They stay a while but then they go
It’s a mystery but I think you know
You see the world in black and white
Color is privilege, not a right
Soon my memories will be gone
Wasting away in front of everyone
I am afraid of what I will become
In my new skin
It’s the only thing I have that cannot leave and won’t get mad
And all the rest is lost to me
Things have gone and things have passed they go unanswered always last
But you are all that’s answered come to be

The rust is spreading
This is what i’ve been dreading
The cold is taking over all that I used to call mine
And you’d think that anything that’s bad right now could get better in time
But it won’t, I’ve been here before
This is a path I won’t follow anymore
If I could tell you what I’m feeling you wouldn’t ask me anymore
But if I was that revealing I wouldn’t be sleeping on your floor
Things like these come near in winter but I still cannot bring them close
And if I thought that you could help I’d tell you things that no-one knows
But it won’t, I’ve been here before
This is a path that I won’t follow anymore
I’m no longer sailing through life
I’m sitting lonely on the shore
My impaired state cannot find fun
In what I used to adore
I still long for faith and pleasure
But I might as well close the door

I met you in a field of trees
Where nothing went wrong for you and me
I still remember the sparks
The blinding flash filled up the dark
And in the clouds over the trees
Laid a blanket of angry enemies
But I’m not afraid no I’m not afraid
No I simply wish we could have stayed
Since many days I see your face
And put the pieces into place
So let us shower in the rain
and see your smiling face again
Let the rain fall down
In my dreams we stand still
A comfort nobody could ever kill
Cuz lately I’ve been feeling
A little under the weather
Since many days I see your face
And put the pieces into place
So let us shower in the rain
and see your smiling face again

Uncomfortable

Your mother’s sleeping in the next room
But you’re still awake and you’re full of feeling
The night is perfect for a good swim
But your stomach aches and your head is reeling
It’s justice for you to feel uncomfortable
It’s the only way to feel right with yourself
Step inside and stare at the face on the ceiling
Saying 'what’s there to cry about?'
And he said it’s not alright what you did
And he said it’s not alright what you said
You can try but you’d rather stay home instead
You’re uncomfortable and words are useless
You’re sleepless sitting at the table talking
Bout what happened and what could have been
Bout how things change when you least expect it
Most likely for the worst again
Your mother and your father will be no help
You haven’t connected with them in years
And once you’re positive that no ones watching
You break down into tears
And he said it’s not alright what you did
And he said it’s not alright what you said
You can try but you’d rather stay home instead
You’re uncomfortable and better off dead
And it’s monstrous how it all seemed to fall apart
This life is something you can’t plan from the start
It takes some time and hope from within
To make your life begin again

I Am Not Myself

Rocks are falling all around my head
I cannot find haven to fall to bed
With you so perfect it’s no surprise
That you feel so safe when you close your eyes
But mine is quite a different story
I can’t search for fame and glory
If I cannot find my mind
So stop, I’m tryna get some sleep
I see no sense in trying to keep this left behind
I am not myself that much is true
I cannot keep a face in front of you
My inner demons come pouring through
The paper thin walls that I built for you
So please don’t say that you don’t love me
Cuz the heavens miles above me
will break open at the thought
It’s safe to say that what we thought was good for us
Has been messed up a lot
So please, for all the good that this makes
I’ll try not to make more mistakes
I’ll do well this time I swear
The time has come where I try harder
Or I run the risk of fading
And I start to disappear

I left the driveway on a sunny morning putting careful thought to yesterday
Sometimes it seems a little closer to fiction what could I do what did I say
No longer feeling right, something still is missing, a flame but without kindling
My body’s moving through the streets without an expression cuz I’m still standing in a dream
Life is fine please don’t ask me how I feel today this is what I wish I could have forgot
Im climbed and climbed and climbed to over 50,000 feet and then I dropped
If the occasion comes to put to words my feelings I’ll probably choose to stay inside
Walking a familiar path not listening intently, my money’s on the other side
One day I will grow too old to act upon my urges but tomorrow’s better than today
Fear of the past will keep me rooted in my room hopefully nothing new will come my way
Struggling for warmth I thought the only chance for clarity was to change my point of view
But my focus blurred when I was lost in you
I searched my memory for anything that could make me believe that I am doing well
Pace the room, this is not reality, slam my head against the wall
Living in my head while all the blood is rushing to it, feeling light and panicky
I’m closing all the doors and locking all the windows, forsaking all company
You slowly say to me ‘it’s clearer now that I can’t keep up with you and your accidents
I know its hard for you and me but you can see it has to be the end

Call me every chance that you get
Ask me if I’m missing you yet
Tell me what we’re doing is worth it
If not, do it while I’m thick-skinned
You dress up every day you don’t need an excuse
Act without thought of what you may produce
We hug and kiss and give each other gifts and do all those things that couples do
If you could please tell me what I’m thinking is true
That we will be just fine
The suns out on a summery day
Make some animals out of clay
Bask in the sun and soak in the spray
And kiss me in your own special way
We will be just fine
It’s a hard time to think of all the things in my head
Hope my heart skips a beat for a long time ahead
It’s a wonderful thing

It’s really cold and you should probably be sleeping
The roads are bad and the hour is getting late
Its not like you’re unwelcome, I always enjoy your company
But just right now, you’re not thinking straight
It always is the days that seem the brightest
That end up taking all my friends away
I have my food and shelter but without feeling
I highly doubt that I will last the day
I often find myself making excuses
for everything my mind has said and done
too many times I’ve thought of myself useless
but I still cannot bear to cut and run
It doesn’t help today to be too modest
But i’ll be damned if selfish sees you through
The world thinks the worst but lets be honest
I never did expect the same from you

Sleep

You would think I’d be slightly surprised, perhaps even joyful
That somebody somewhere cares slightly for my good and health
I don’t know that much about things that I write about these days but I guess it isn’t that easy to feel anything when you feel like forsaking yourself
This is a dark word for a reason it's alright
And you needn't care about more than your life will allot
If love is a line then life is a segment if I told you i cared I probably meant it
But it's getting too late for me to just sleep this one off
Feeling dreams will never end I wake up screaming drenched in sweat from sleep
This room doesn’t have the same feeling as the day I found it
There are things hidden inside that I am sure I’ve never seen
I’m bigger but not necessarily bolder
And I think 'what have lost in order to keep my conscience clean?'
In my dreams I am often with my friends and my former lovers
But sometimes the fondest ever recall I’m where nobody is
Ive got a mouthful and you’ll never hear it but please don’t lose your sleep over this
I might carry my head to the grave but I won’t kick it in
Dreams and nightmares only difference someone close can hold me in and sleep

Flowerpot Records Ohio
A record label based out of Berea, Ohio, putting out CDs and tapes from artists around the country.
Flowerpot Records recommends:
I Was Drunk At This Show
by Graves
from the same show as the Warning Shot! recordings, and so far as i can tell this was the only time they performed live.
go to album
Eternally a favorite album. A band that knocks it out of the park every time. Wild songwriting that comes across as a combination of In Rainbows-era Radiohead and Freak Out! era Zappa.
go to album
Nothing's Ever Silent (2016 Remaster)
by Reflections Of Stars
acoustic indie instrumental post-rock. warm sounds and cold sounds. lots of different instruments, only two people. a good winter record.
go to albumIf you like Black Sun (2023), you may also like:
The Jordan Lake Sessions: Volumes 1 and 2
by the Mountain Goats
supported by 4 fans who also own “Black Sun (2023)”
This song is an anthem for me. I will survive out of spite to those that don't want me to.

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 4 fans who also own “Black Sun (2023)”
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too.
go to album
Stop apologizing
by Frankie valet
The first full-length release from this St. Louis group is full of simple, sweet dream pop songs with a touch of Paisley Underground fuzz.
