In Disrepair 04:56
lyrics

It’s the past It has a way of holding onto you Nothing lasts Tomorrow drinks the life out of today It’s the past It’s in the ways of trading up to you Nothing lasts It’s how the poets feel your pain And my shoes are pleading to let it go And my hands are never tired And my head negotiates While my mind is in a state Take your chance No one here would take a chance for you It’s what we have A flame to dance away the afternoon And my hands are pleading to let it go And my hands are never tired And my head negotiates While my mind is in a state It’s the past Tomorrow drains the life out of today Nothing lasts It’s how the poets feel your pain

The wildfires are coming Please god let them hurt my enemies The wildfires are coming Please god let them hurt my enemies You’ve got a lot of nerve Walking like you have a choice Talking like you have a voice You got a lotta brass You must have lost your way Thinking we might let you in Don’t you know that you were born from sin? The floods and famines are coming Please god let them hurt my enemies The floods and famines are coming Please god let them hurt my enemies The wildflowers are coming Please god hurt my enemies The wildflowers are coming Please god hurt my enemies

The Island Fell Into the Sea 03:12
lyrics
buy track
They lived on dreams and prayers But the prayers never came through Well, who knew? Looking at the surface It seemed at the time like all was well ’Til the ground fell Is it me? Is it people who look and talk like me? Was it trying to be Intersection free? The island fell into the sea It’s in the cost of a life Hot and cold at the same time Pay it no mind The picture’s too big to see With imagination stashed in a box In a dusty room with broken locks Is it me? Is is people who dress and act like me? Was it trying to be Compassion free? The island fell into the sea Never to be seen Never to be seen Will the future even believe That we were ever here?

about

The bin holds probably somewhere around two hundred cassettes, not a single one them for an artist you've ever heard of. A buck each, or five for three.

You judge them by their covers, with little else to go by, and pick a set that you think might end up being to your liking. Who are these people? What happened to them?

It's entirely possible that the only thing we'll ever know about them is the content of their art, and the best we could do is listen and, hoping they were being honest, infer what we can about them through the notes and words they've put into the world.
