Nowhere to go Nowhere to run Mouth of mold Rot in the sun Skin and bones Sunk in the mud Lungs are full Blooming with sludge And don’t call There’s no one to reach The signals wind and knot and turn until they die in entropy And don’t drive There’s no one to meet The freeways wind and knot and turn until they die right at my feet Nowhere to go Nowhere to turn Sinking fast For you I yearn Sun is low My soul is burnt My heart is ash Body an urn And don’t call There’s no one to reach The signals wind and knot and turn until they die in entropy And don’t drive There’s no one to meet The freeways wind and knot and turn until they die right at my feet

ghost story 02:25
I don’t know how to sleep with your shadow next to me I don’t know how to see every color’s got your shade I don’t know how to read With your shadow on every page I see you on tv With your shadow in every scene I don’t know how to go on with your shadow in front of me I don’t know where to go With your shadow on my shoulder

I fly alone Into a storm unknown You flew away I didn’t know what to say Where are you I'm cold, rail thin, entombed The colors all gone dull My eyes are black holes I did you wrong Stayed away far too long Wasted my time and lost myself in my mind Now the sky’s going dark and things are falling apart it’s a long long flight wish you were here by my side I lost my place I lost my home On wounded wings I roam and roam I flew too far I lost my self I lost my dreams I lost my health Now all I want All that I have To nurse your wounds To be your other half To build a nest To freshly start To be the bird in The aviary of your heart

owl, pt. 1 03:23
Night falls And from my grounded perch I call and call and call An owl with a broken wing An owl with a broken wing And im so tired Love And im so tired Love dropped from the sky to the labyrinth below An owl with a broken wing An owl with a broken wing Maybe someday you’ll come back to me maybe someday you’ll find me again Dropped from the sky to the labyrinth below An owl with a broken wing An owl with a broken wing

owl, pt. 2 07:44
My skin is glass My eyes are holes when the light passes through It shatters my skull And I hear your footsteps And I see your shape Around every corner And thought that I make Dropped from the sky to the labyrinth below My hands are shredded Down to my wrists I grasp out for help And find nothing to grip In mazes and mirrors Circling dim I aimlessly wander on broken limbs Dropped from the sky to the labyrinth below My heart is an ocean draining out to my lungs My words are all water My breath is all blood I call out i call out A knife in my tongue Wondering wondering What could I have done Dropped from the sky to the labyrinth below My mouth is a wound Necrotic and lame It rips at my flesh To breath your name Dropped from the sky to the labyrinth below
6.
Somewhere Out there Somewhere Out there Dreaming for somewhere to go Pleading for some kind of home Please won’t someone take me home

the pit 04:13
i fall to the bottom where I never thought I’d be again I climb but the walls erode in my hands Again My fingers Dissolve To useless flesh Again I cry But the echoes are all That return Doesn’t it all pass? (The light, receding) Doesn’t it all pass with time? (Suspended, bleeding) Doesn’t it all pass (My heart, still beating) Doesn’t it all drift on by? (Your warmth, the needing) Doesn’t it all pass? (Your face, the dreaming) Doesn’t it all pass with time? (Im still, dreaming) Doesn’t it all pass (The love, the feeling) Doesn’t it all drift on by? (My broken wings never healing)

And I'm afraid Yesterday was the last day I’ll see your face So I hold it in my mind frozen in place Maybe safe from entropy and damn decay In the hope that I will see you again someday home, is where i want to be

about

presenting the rearview california heartbreak experience. introducing the hollywood dean blunt. performing somber in the southland. lonely in la la land. feelin shitty in the angelic city. in pain in the inland empire. tired in tineseltown. the panic on the pacific coast. the sorrow in socal.

broadcasting Live! and Half Alive! from the hollywood hellhole.

my body is buried in a bank of fog and i hear faint sounds rattling around its impenetrable density. this album is an attempt at transmitting those sounds.

thank you to friends new and old for their unending love and support. a particular thank you to ty for lending ears to these songs as they were coming together.

as always, thank you for listening.

"California is a garden of Eden
A paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do re mi"
