lyrics

Stark white silent room,
Glass dark-red shades of doom,
Lining up to be looked into.
Poured out, offered up,
All too eager to cut,
Slicing up to be looked into.

And you wonder why I’m never home,
Now you’re calling up an ambulance to go.

I can’t blame you, I spend all my time spinning test tubes in my mind,
If I told you, I’m only trying to find the culprit of these crimes,
And I really hope the bloodstain isn’t mine.

Sort through, pick and choose,
Each drop a part of you,
Digging deep to be looked into.
Spread thin, weakening,
Revealing secret things,
Pouring out to be looked into.

And you wonder why you’re on your own,
Now an ambulance is here to take you home.

You gotta let it out, all the bad, all the good.
Lose the tourniquet and spray it round the room,
Paint the scene, all those nightmare things,
Step back to see what the full picture means.

Locked in, examining,
What each new vial will bring,
Been years and still I’m looking into.
Obsessed, maybe so,
Still so much left to know,
So stick a needle looking in you.

And you wonder why I’m on my own,
Leave the keys there in the hearse before you go.

How Long
by The Tower And The Fool

Passionate and honest acoustic indie rock, this album is like an emotional gutpunch to me - in the best way possible. Down In Autumn

Jar
by Superheaven

I listened to few albums more in 2013 than this gem. A throwback to that great 90s grunge-rock sound, I never get tired of listening to these songs. Down In Autumn

Mare Vitalis
by The Appleseed Cast

This is an absolute classic, and you can get it for nothing, which is kinda criminal, but also means you have no excuse. Fishing The Sky in particular is a masterpiece. Down In Autumn
