KOOL BREEZE

shinning up there with your borrowed clothes hoping no one notices, but everybody knows. i knew you when you were young,when you were yourself. but now all I see are the xeroxed copies of the records that are on your shelf.
there is nothing psychedelic about being a wolf in sheep's clothes.
cause when the kool breeze fades, guess where your image goes!

hey its me hiding behind the glass
can you hear my mild requests?
in a crowded room of secret masks,
constructing sentences of disappointment are vast
look at me shine!
friend of mine
in the glass box all of us are waiting in line
am i witty enough for your needs?
can i get you stuck remembering
with one polished photo stuck with me.
press go, to and fro awkwardly
see me in this light
a filter of hiding age just right

Walking crooked on 30th street
dirty path, stickers, lit trees
felt warm conversation swirling me
Blair (blare) the jukebox, this sound parts the seas.
no windows,
no mirror,
I cannot see me.
in this corner, it's always the nineties.
sticky feet, double vision, tripping out.
always saying something profound no doubt.
wolves always on my stool leaning against the pillar.
handles the ceiling, who sucked out the feeling?
no windows,
no mirror,
i cannot see me
in this corner it's always the nineties.
one am we flood the streets with laughter.
lets get it together and hangout after.
finding love in the darkness of that room,
heartbreak city, hiding the smiles to keep the gloom.

I cannot think of anything to think about
I search the folds of my brain
I stretch myself towards my destination
We ate roots and sat
I traced pitter-patterns in the grass
See where the wind blows me
See where the earth throws me
See where the fire draws me
See where the water calls me
We ate roots and sat
I traced pitter-patterns in the grass
We ate roots and sat
Beneath the tree-twists and the gas
You watched me go insane
(They chased me down, they ate my insides out)
And you loved me just the same
And only I can tame
(They are burying me now, there is dirt in/on/about/around my dead mouth)
The growing beasts in my brain
Is this normal?
Where does this animal begin?
Is this normal?
What's this running through my skin?
We ate roots and sat
I traced pitter-patterns in the grass
We ate roots and sat
Beneath the tree-twists and the gas
I melted and
Watched your mouth moving

Play it loud
Play it fast
Play me something that will always last
Play it tough
Play it quiet
Play me something that might save my life
[Chorus]
We're not lost, we are dying in style
We're not fucked, we are fucking alive
[Post-Chorus]
I hope I never die
[Verse 2]
Stick your heart on your sleeve
If it breaks, stitch it onto me
Bash it back into shape
You might be cracked, but I won't let you break
[Chorus]
We're not lost, we are dying in style
We're not fucked, we are fucking alive
[Post-Chorus]
I hope you never die

SLEEPING GHOST recommends:
i saw the singer Gabe jump up during a show, land directly on his back on the floor and not miss a lyric. this band is like a hyper and cranky younger brother to band Dead and Gone.
