Run away, she left that journal entry blank today
She couldn’t write the words or think to say
That her mama didn’t love her, didn’t want her
Couldn’t stand to see her face, it brings back memories, drags up feelings that she’s got her father’s eyes and that’s all anyone sees anyway.
It’s that sound, the thump of children's bodies on the ground
Distinctive but enough to turn around
She hides her shame, spits in anger, invites them over strokes her baby, screams its name
Shaken children, stare at mommy ask forgiveness for their crimes
But it’s the last time that she’ll hear them whine
We didn't listen, we didn't listen
When the beats dropped out we didn’t listen, we didn’t listen
When you hear those beats you know what’s on its way
When you hear those screams you know that it’s too late
A surprise, the fact that there’s a brightness in her eyes
And though her friends are few she seems to try
She speaks out louder, crying softer hold her head up to the light
The anger softens, life is better, or at least it is tonight
When she goes back home to pick a fight.
I Make the call, hiding in my room it’s all around
The crashes of her rage will never calm,
she doesn’t like me, I don’t like her but her daughter needs me now
She doesn’t know me, doesn’t want this but the anger’s overflowed
And it’s the last time that she’ll have to cry
Thermal Features has some of the most soothing (and jarring) music I've ever heard on a solo bass. Each piece is like a little portrait, deep in sound, but satisfying in its brevity. Dead Kings of Norway
Crystals in the Deep is the other band that I make music with. It's darker and more laid back than Dead Kings of Norway. So far it's just the one album but we'll be writing another soon. Dead Kings of Norway
