It's a game, the kind that little kids play
Breathless and happy again
Back in time, in stadiums of new lime
Fighting for what's left of men
A cavalcade, i should have stayed
My forces falter, and I kiss the blade
These feelings we cannot control will lead us faithfully
Fae failures fumble up a play that we will never see
It's not just me, there is no mystery
Reflected back upon the page
It's not just me, there is no mystery
We're making good on how we age
It's not just me, there is no mystery
No over-arcing sense of worth
It's not just me, there is no mystery
No use in putting others first

you hunger for truth
but, the scent decieves you
your senses errupt and the world believes you when you say you've never felt like this before
take your clothes off, shut the door and
open up wide, let me take a bite
consuming and consuming and consuming and consuming till I'm raw
you'll find the real me, your back against the wall
you'll find no pride in the fall
I'll soak in all your pain
and radiate the sun
you'll never see the chance to know I've won
so open up wide, unhinge my jaw in the night
just waiting
for the right time
yes just waiting
for our chance to take a bite

Warm Blood, Cold Water

It floods my mind to brim, straight from the bottom, fills the pool again
Block up the cavern to keep the overflow at bay
Your withdrawn shoulders freeze my intentions, lack kind discretion
Your unwavering smile, smolders blockages at play
I hope you know it's all your fault
It's in my skin again i lost it all i found a friend
I try to hold on drifting farther from the wreck
The cold water stings my ears I've given in to all my fears
The warm blood inside my hide is pooling 'round my neck
I hope you know it's all your fault
I found my body in the woods last night
I guess i couldn't escape that terrible lie
This vessel is frozen and i am condemned
To feel my warm blood drip out over and over and over again
I hope you know it's all your fault

Willow:
down the wooden steps
that creak beneath the weight
we drag our leadened feelings back to
the empty settlement
chop them up in meters, tie them up in bushels
set the tower ablaze
see the colony razed
and you hear it ...
a growing roar of whispers
and you hear it,
the deafening abyss
and you ask it
what it wants to hear
and he takes it
he takes his time
filling the pages
burying the bones
in an unmarked grave
he is at home
stuffing in my brain
filling the holes
hiding in your secret cave
while he is at home
i'm
separating
the coffee brews
grounds of dreams
you move through
hands unseen
and he's filling his cup
with nothing but apathy
for the souls we lost
worshipping the death of me
while he's filling his cup
well i'm
separated
Wes:
separated from the things that we love
in spite of everything we've done i guess it isn't enough
take a step out under the shade
i'm separated off from the decisions we've made

You always asked for the things that couldn't be seen
So you became the invisible source pushing at our seams
Flowers sprout upward from the fissures below
He stands in the corner waiting, we already know
We're crying out for you the feeling burns us alive
He stands in the corner, his eyes on the paper
He stands in the corner waiting, and you just lie there
A body without movement

I thought I couldn't still belong
But I was wrong
Because this is how it ends
Surrounded by friends

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.

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.

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 6 fans who also own “Companion”
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.

Stuck In My Room: Songs for a trying time
by Blank Slate Elyria
As the name implies, there’s something wonderfully spooky about this Philly band—shoegaze with a haunting undercurrent.
