lyrics

light today and dark tomorrow
the less i steal the more i borrow
i turned the lock and kept the key
you turned to walk, you crossed the sea
you and your friends, your twelve disciples
hid in dusty, loaded rifles
as i locked the hammer down
Jerusalem rose from the ground

if forgiveness is all i need
the cross is on the altar
and if some sense of peace is all i need
the dove has left a feather

but i drank the blood of Christ
to kill my lust for you
i broke his body between my teeth and took him in
but he didn't do
a goddamn thing
to satisfy me

your blackest dress, your mother's ring
the candlelight, it softly lingers
in the wreck of my head
and in my dreams you look the same
while everything around decays
and i'm beat down an dead

i gave my alms
i said my prayers
looked deep within
only you were there

you're such a jodi
by Whorish Boorish

One of the records that introduced me to bedroom-pop and home recording. If you dig hazy August afternoons, chorused out guitars, and kissing and telling, this is a great record for you! kneedleknees

Still Water
by Told Slant

Discovered this record back when I was starting college. I remember posting something like "Told Slant is the Lou Reed of my generation" on my tumblr (which I've since deleted). No gaudy leather tho kneedleknees

Lockdown Summer

This is my friend, producer, and bandmate in Fozmo, Griffin! His bedroom-pop is astounding. CRV is the summer lovin anthem Grease could only dream of! kneedleknees
