lyrics

I'm the sinking feeling in your ship of lies
I give you sweaty palms and your shifty eyes
I'm the truth, whoa-ho-ho-ho, I'm the truth

You gave him $50 to forget your face
But you cannot erase what's inside your head
I'm the truth, &c.

The bum on the corner said he'd give you a taste
The man in the alley said he'd kill the man dead
I'm the truth, &c.

It's winter in your heart while it's summer on the coast
No warmth for the weary when your hands are red
I'm the truth, &c.

So drink your little drink and boast your little boast
Leave your car for the cops and take the train instead
I'm the truth, &c.

I lie on your chest when you lie down at night
I give you no rest; you can't turn out this light
I'm the truth, &c.

The bum on the corner gave the cops what they asked
The man in the alley tasted blood and spoke
I'm the truth, &c.

If history's a river, then you dammed your past
But it damned you instead when the story broke
I'm the truth, &c.

(Bowers)

VI: Flora
by Botanist

Really puts the "hammer" in hammered dulcimer. Meditative, droning, misanthropic black metal with an unusual instrument at the center of it all. The Camellias

Sprained Ankle
by Julien Baker

Direct, confessional, bracing. Listen to Julien. The Camellias

W - Part One
by GARDNSOUND

Gardner's main project. It's like Trent Reznor discovering chillwave. Blissful and eclectic. The Camellias
