Lightly Glazed

1.
God goes but I stay I close my eyes and Pity the desert It’s the last one In their own small way I found it hurtful Slow-moving flames Leave nothing Tires pack snow at night / Warm plastic wood ----------------------------------- Inside with me Time is always close Buildings leak air I can hear through walls Letting contempt turn Without a thoughtful care I lost myself Tires pack snow at night / Warm plastic wood ----------------------------------- I know the faces I know the names All this familiar to me I feel the same (repeat) ----------------------------------- Waiting for the conversation to end Car doors locked with the engine on Set the disc repeating over the heat A wind stirs the air Tires pack snow at night / Warm plastic wood
2.
Running toward the distant sound Opposition still / Rootless seed Wash the earth from your feet Louder now Every night comes Lasting all day Deep ground / no rest Unbroken waves Lock me in ----------------------------------- Entrails lust all the way home Hopes comfort a stone Wash the pain from your face ----------------------------------- Running toward the distant sound Opposition still / Rootless seed Wash the earth from your feet Louder now Every night comes Lasting all day Deep ground / no rest Unbroken waves Lock me in
3.
It passes over head I can’t see the ground It’s later than it seems ----------------------------------- Engines on the wing ----------------------------------- I can’t see the sky The trees in the dirt Under the rain ----------------------------------- Engines on the wing ----------------------------------- The tarp lays dormant Faint hiss in the distant air Benches sit empty ----------------------------------- Engines on the wing ----------------------------------- The clouds blow again I’m sitting on the edge My shades pulled down ----------------------------------- Engines on the wing ----------------------------------- Open the door/Absolute silence ----------------------------------- Engines on the wing -----------------------------------
4.
Crawled into silence Shadows dry away No intelligence, strength, beauty, or hate ----------------------------------- One Eye / Not Reflecting ----------------------------------- Everybody once Experience Everybody wants ----------------------------------- Every thought the same Every action ----------------------------------- Eyes stare out Reflecting ----------------------------------- One Eye / Not Reflecting (repeat)
5.
The sea waits Outlived the others Shovel in hand Paddle the island Rain won't let up Clouds darker and darker ----------------------------------- Land is mush Feet stink in the mud Sunup soon The wind slows ----------------------------------- Plastic bags go silent Face the sky ----------------------------------- A hushed world doesn’t stop The satellites agree
6.
Let it rot Pale light Flat pillow Fever wake ----------------------------------- Blinking word No movement All stone Back turned ----------------------------------- A door open Faint hall Cathedral ceiling White wall Empty sink Rusted red TV room Thin bed ----------------------------------- Lock the door
7.
A simulated reality hell I’m cold No world has ever been real I’ve lived Where does it begin Birthing inwardly It comes from somewhere Or is that my talking Don’t let me do that Don’t let that happen I gotta go And so do you I’m cold I’ve lived (repeat)
8.
Two Doors 04:16
Beneath the earth There is a hole Feel the eyes turn Hear the mountains move ----------------------------------- The place has every real thing (repeat) ----------------------------------- The hole is safe The hole is denied People fain The moon retracts ----------------------------------- The place has every real thing (repeat) ----------------------------------- I place the hole inside myself The hole is filled with mirrors Two doors open to one room ----------------------------------- The place has every real thing
9.
And Why Not 03:33
Flesh to my flesh Like the beginning - at the end this is the end - this is the beginning I’ve left something everywhere Nothings left of me I can’t believe the morning came I can't imagine anything at all And why not

about

Lightly Glazed is a way of describing the coating of a nice apple pie straight from a little box.

Lightly Glazed is also an acoustic rock-ish album with simple acoustic and electric guitars providing the base instrumentation. Song topics range from loneliness and isolation to regret and dreams; “Warm Plastic Wood” encompasses all of these. Vocal parts are fragmented and splintered – each track has a different voice, but all come from the same internal place.

Some influences: Jandek, The Residents, Slint, and Songs for Drella by Reed/Cale
