- Jan 19, 12The meticulous songcraft of Louis Schefano. Noble and sensitive, like a alpha lion delivering a Coup de Grace to a wounded water buffalo before bringing it back to his den where his lioness lies in waiting.david a. schneidersome songs are not showing up as stream-able on the songs page. i can't access bandcamp.com from work so not sure how to remedy. what i can say is more songs are on the way! new and previously recorded/remixed songs. more songs more songs more songs...we are playing 4 new songs at pianos tomorrow night.

let's forget it and give it away
it takes a long time to be over to say
it's hard to be near you it's hard to deny you
when all the words that you wanted to hear
were spoken alright but they fell on deaf ears
i want to be near you i want to deny you
this is how you acknowledge the curse
you got your coat and your keys and your purse
that's the one thing that makes it worse, laura
we forgot it and gave it away
and everything seemed to be falling in place
by this december the crime was erased
with the one thing you needed to hear
it was spoken alright but it fell on deaf ears
i want to be near you i want to deny you

megan kimber, an amazing artist living in birmingham, painted my portrait. we met at roho when i played new year's eve, i think. with taylor hollingsworth and sweet dog! the show wasn't very good -i am so shy and nervous whenever i try to play in birmingham, but the painting exists because of it. it is such a strange, unexpected honor. thank you megan!

robot or animal I can’t believe how happy I could be I know this needs something I wanted to give holding on to hold it up feels worse this time around I know when I don’t perceive any motive love is the gift robot or animal heard you calling from the forest floor pushed in front of fawning liars burned back down by virtual desires my instinct I’m programmed for I have dreams I need more I can’t believe how quickly I could sink the whisper wants the whole thing (pushed back to the start) you told me once I know I should’ve known you work so long and hard the only one who holds on when others forget love is the gift wish something would happen I believe in luck on the hour so let your jealous nature devour I never promised you the power I can see that nothing’s controlling it’s heavier than god and it’s floating before you even stick your toe in they got you where they wanted and you’re eating out of their hands I wish something would happen either way I completely forgot what I had to hear you say I don’t even remember where I was when I started to doubt when I started questioning everything there’s a time and place for emotion a valid case for devotion while I’m staring to the ocean shave a little bit off your frame you’re the one who told me you were insane you told me how you knew it I showed you how to do it till you’re eating out of my hands I wish something would happen either way I completely forgot what I had to hear you say I don’t even remember where I was when I started to doubt when I started questioning everything comfortable zone try and control your anger please wasn’t quite what I wanted to tell you but it’s not so important to me since you hit me with your problem your disease I don’t know why I thought I could help you cause I can’t pull you out of your own comfortable zone natural tone it seems like more than ever I was tried walking back to the source of pleasure took a trip to the side of the road I know you want to argue it with me the moment I wanted to help you you reminded me how much I owe I’ll never know natural tone endless search for shelter always blind the secret’s safe forever I was pissed but I called anyway I never thought I’d hear you say it’s free but the moment I take it for granted you reminded me how much I owe but I’ll never know natural tone not coming home I gotta face it I gotta face it I know that the best thing to do is just leave it alone start to believe I’m lost I don’t belong start to believe I’m lost I don’t belong start to believe I’m lost I don’t belong start to believe I’m lost I don’t belong opposite side of the world I give up on this snow ever getting us anywhere and the freezing reminder I know you have never cared on the sidewalk where everyone’s moving so slow there you go yeah you go cause you don’t want to stay you go to the opposite side of the world you’re asleep in your corner of the world hope morning forgives us for everything you’re reacting to something that has never happened yet aren’t the night-vision goggles the best you’ll ever get removing your air mask to tape your eyes shut cause you know when you go though you hope that it doesn’t show from the opposite side of the world you retreat to your corner of the world hope morning forgives us for everything our way I guess this enjoyment was taken as far as I really wanted to go it almost did lead us somewhere I know that forsaken tone is for real and all of the space that you flaunted is waiting there to lead you somewhere that’s how I leave you into world out here alone out here you know I call your name to try and explain falling in rain this didn’t go our way I won’t let you stand in the way of my fall with sinister feelings of alcohol and vacant stares leading nowhere a respectful line will never be drawn I never said it’s your fault for waiting there for wanting to care that’s how I leave you into the world hiding your form in hiding you know why I’m amazed simply enslaved don’t rearrange this didn’t go our way nature song when nature talks I’m not supposed to hear I’m not supposed to know don’t I know we never were close I let the feeling go let it fade inside I know I loved I know you’re leaning down gently you say I want to leave sure you can go but then you will sleep alone know I’m yours when nature walks I see it in your legs as something in your style in the sun you turned into the wind took all my surprise like a million eyes on me on me on me you’re gleaming now didn’t you say “I want to leave”? anything else get it yourself you know what’s mine’s yours when nature learns nothing’s in control and nothing stays the same in your way it will not be turned until the seasons change and when it changes fine I’ll go I’ll go I’ll go song for anthony you can stimulate the ending of your nerve forever let the fire burn and you can speak the word you’ll never simulate the memory of love whatever you were thinking of or what the meaning was before my life is beautiful even if I die and no one has the right to trouble me if I don’t want to fight so if I am not what you wanted if I am not what you need I won’t ever be daunted by incessant need sooner or later you will wake to see the sun for what exists and what is gone and for what you become you can trade until you get the one you want or you can say you’re moving on whatever comes is fine my life is beautiful even if I die no one has the right to trouble me if I don’t want to fight I don’t want to fight my own good lock me up throw away the key forever I will not always be tethered to a cloud that’s just about to drown you in weather it might be for my own good if I don’t do what I should it might be for your own good if you don’t do what you should I had enough time to think it over it’s a cryptic twisted order on the grounds it wasn’t found I called off the searches it might be for my own good if I don’t do what I should it might be for your own good if you don’t do what you should freak show revenge I feel confident that a straightjackets not in my future I know you know someone who is wearing one and it suits them well wearing its hell wearing it still I’m confident that a moonlit last confession won’t say the half of it so you just sit and listen close pointing your nose straight at your toes you were dropped from your cradle stripped of your halo this is your freak show revenge I’m confident that a stray bullet won’t fell me probably know someone who was hit by one and it killed them dead straight through his head sent him to bed mercy mercy, ain’t you gonna lead me out outta here? mercy, go ahead and close your eyes mercy! ain’t you gonna say nothin on my behalf? please, testify
