about

(tears for scary monster fears, I've gotta get out of here)

lyrics

whisky and saltines will dry you up inside
I spent last night propped up on an elbow
thinking about how you’ve never cried
we’re all on your downtime
but I’ve never seen you up at all
been giving you deadlines
that I’d never dreamed you could make

take evasive action baby
someone got too close to you
you never know when some better wish comes true

dense symbolic dreams will wake you up at night
but you don’t need me whispering in your ear
to know you’ve failed to fight them off
my comfort is anodyne
as long as you've worked out your exit plan
attachment is asinine
as long as you've lined up some other man

I’m off to your house
not knowing which one I’ll get
the one with the heart
or the one in her head
the one who survives
or the one who just bled
appraised from a chair
or entwined in a bed
a nuclear scare
or just neurotic dread
a gaze or a glare
or a glance I misread
sometimes I go hungry
sometimes I get fed

underhanded schemes sometimes work out all right
now someone else is calling you
and you don’t seem to want me around at all

Cause I'm on it! Seriously though, Ed writes a great country song that does not insist upon itself as a country song. The Redactors

Tracks
by Ancient History

A former bandmate of mine released this record under a new name. It's really good. Quiet, textured, and sometimes a little haunting. And he lives in a practice space in Brooklyn: show him some love. The Redactors
