Minor Prophet

Calling me out
Like a minor prophet
Staying encamped
At the edge of town
You doubt my doubt
Wish you'd come right off it
Work of my hand
Well, you burn it down
Thank you for being
Thank you for calling me out
Calling my bluff
You can read my eyes
I stoke my rage
At the heathens' fire
I'm coming in rough
Crusted in my lies
You slake my rage
Bid me come and die
Thank you for being
Thank you for calling me out
On my shit
Calling me out
Like a minor prophet
Staying encamped
At the edge of town
You doubt my doubt
Wish you'd come right off it
Work of my hand
Well, you burn it down
Thank you for being
Thank you for calling me out
On my shit

I wanna be in San Serriffe
Where we can get away
Get away from me
I wanna swim out in that reef
See the fishes pick
Bones of who I used to be
Maria-Jesu Pica sought
To have me sent away
For letting everyone in on the joke
So take a Kodak moment shot
Swimming in the bay
With a smile on for show
I wanna be in San Serriffe
Where we can get away
Get away from me

A better thing I never saw
When I shot off the lion's jaw
I saw a leopard and a lion's face
And then I felt the need of grace
Horses, mules, and hogs
All our cows are in the bogs
There they shall ever stay
'Til the buzzards take them away
Fourth of July is surely come
Blow the fife and beat the drum
Give me silver, either gold
Though they are dang'rous to our soul
I made this jar all of cross
If you don't repent, you will be lost
If you don't listen at the Bible
You will be
You will be lost
If you don't listen at the Bible
You will be
You will be lost

Noonday Demon

Got my spidey senses tingling on this one
Feel it tingling the tips of my bones
Perfect record so I'll die if I miss one
Perfect silence when I wake alone
Noonday demon, come possess my heart
Moonlight monster, consume my mind
Noonday demon, come possess my heart
Moonlight monster, consume my mind
Feeling woozy when I lean in to kiss you
Feeling stupid when I tell you the same
Worried heart, so I'll cry if I miss you
Worried eyes staring into flame
Dreams of angels, come possess my heart
Morning blessings, consume my mind
Dreams of angels, come possess my heart
Morning blessings, consume my mind

Child

There'll be sights you'll wish you could unsee
There'll be facts you'll wish you'd never known
Don't shut your eyes, my child
Just keep them wild
Don't you ever look alone

The Camellias North Charleston, South Carolina
Ragged folk songs for hard modern times.
The Camellias recommends:
Really puts the "hammer" in hammered dulcimer. Meditative, droning, misanthropic black metal with an unusual instrument at the center of it all.
go to album
Direct, confessional, bracing. Listen to Julien.
go to album
Gardner's main project. It's like Trent Reznor discovering chillwave. Blissful and eclectic.
