Grandfather
from Gunsmoke by Isaac Riley
lyrics
I turned to them in the sky
and I asked "where you going?"
They looked at me and smiled
and said, "where I belong"
Go with the flow
Where did they leave me all to the world?
In its many places...
A flow isn't there unless something is flying
and a river can't remain without a rise
Turn to where they stand, and I will make it all together
But now I have no guiding hands to call me
on the lies to never, I shall fry
Grandfather, why did you leave me to myself and the world?
Grandfather, why did you leave us all in hell?
I turned to them and said that I knew he was
But I really didn't know I just wanted to pretend like I did
Feeling so ready
Turn the gates open sideways and see where they want to go
I know that they hear me scream for his name
To let me know where to go
Tired of these other false prophets leading me to shame
and if I had a say in the matter I would never have let him dig his own grave, no
Grandfather, why did you leave this world alone the way?
Grandfather, why did you leave me with everything?
and I asked "where you going?"
They looked at me and smiled
and said, "where I belong"
Go with the flow
Where did they leave me all to the world?
In its many places...
A flow isn't there unless something is flying
and a river can't remain without a rise
Turn to where they stand, and I will make it all together
But now I have no guiding hands to call me
on the lies to never, I shall fry
Grandfather, why did you leave me to myself and the world?
Grandfather, why did you leave us all in hell?
I turned to them and said that I knew he was
But I really didn't know I just wanted to pretend like I did
Feeling so ready
Turn the gates open sideways and see where they want to go
I know that they hear me scream for his name
To let me know where to go
Tired of these other false prophets leading me to shame
and if I had a say in the matter I would never have let him dig his own grave, no
Grandfather, why did you leave this world alone the way?
Grandfather, why did you leave me with everything?

-
Flight of the Knife
by Bryan ScaryA wonderfully over-the-top album inspired by early Queen and progressive rock, easily one of the best albums most people have never heard.
go to album -
Really loud and abrasive post-punk oddball music. Is it strange? Completely. Delightful? 100%

Soundtrack to the Clearance Bin
by theEndlessVacuumA close friend of mine's alternative rock project. Really catchy stuff here, if you're into that sorta thing (and let's be honest, we all are).
