about

Early recording of No Hope For Tall Folk. Taking this one into the studio for when we record our demo. Looking forward to getting that project done.

lyrics

Papa said “now don’t fall into the well”
Papa said “now you’ll just grow up swell”
Papa said “now don’t go into the well”
I fell, I fell, I fell, I

Fascinating as one comes aware
Rattling with insipid air
Stretching out and through
Broken physical form for you

Free floating, free loathing
Writhing in atramentous spray
Contorting, controlling
In starvation we will all decay

Abrasion scarring eager eyes
The young grow old and cut their ties
Old men weep for aging desert tales
Fill blood streams with their drink and the dirt on their nails

Poisoning lungs and deepening debts
The longer we live the harder it gets
Right becomes wrong and naiveties left
And breaking my good word will hang on my breathe

No place for loyalty when we’re coming of age
History dropped by those with hungered ways
The brighter my vision the darker my sight
I don’t like this new place it’s too black and white

It’s never so simple, to think is cockeyed
It can’t be thrown to each end of a divide
The tall ones are all blind
It’s the middle ground they can’t find
like we can, we can
like we can, we can

We can see when they all pick a side
With blindfolds on they all walk in a line
The sheep will be lambs to the slaughter
Heads bitten off by their sons and their daughters

In or out or any other way
There may be a time when we betray
Monoliths and looming tradition
Give them a run, fuel their superstition

There’s no hope for them
Abandon your elders boy
And still theres no hope for us
Got to count on the younger boys

Oh but we we just turn our cheeks and stay inside
I sit and dream dreams of times where we’ll thrive
But I every time I just come to realize
They’ll never float, they’re destined to capsize

In my life I don’t think that I’ll witness
My brothers and sons help cure this illness
When a vision is so hard to uphold
Is it better to just leave on the blindfold

There’s no hope for them
Abandon your elders boy
And still theres no hope for us
Can we count on the younger boys?

What would we see if we opened our eyes?
