Summer Getaway
02:25
|
|||
Same old cares, don't do me wrong
I'm glad that you're so happy
Is everyone just fumbling on?
All ships sliding unseen
Summer getaway, don't you put it past me
Am I my broken faulty head?
Gray matter, rotting worm meat
Am I broken wasted soul?
Weak will and fickle heartbeat
Am I the choices that I make?
If so, I choose to leave without me
Am I the dog lost in the street?
I think I might be maybe

Andale

I'm south, the days are what you make them
I drown, but I don't like to taste it
Andale, is it kind to save?
Bound, is getting by just half the pain?
I'm south, the day is nearly wasted
I frown, brain is in the basement

The Wave

Watch the wave deflate
It wasn't real, it wasn't needed
Never loved a bigger purpose to lose face
Drove 3000 miles to sleep on floors and really mean it
Seems to me it was a vacation away
Ride the wave, I'll ride the wave
Grow your hair out long
Shave your face and feed the meter
Payphones asking for a quarter of your day
Never mine to point the finger at who really needs it
The only horse in town, so I will mount away

The Good
01:27
|

Great things go to the voracious, you know
The rest is left for the good enough guys/gals
You can't be good, so be careful
Know you should
It's just enough to taste the wine
I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst
And to lay it by my side
I am willing to know the whole truth
Great things go to the voracious, you know
The rest is left for the good

Minor Fictions
01:52
|
|||
Smile cause you know what else to do here
I'm not sure if I
Life is a joke, so says the faithless
My horse is not so high
Choices can choke, I'll get the water
Doesn't help the fire
So I've been told, so I was tortured
Hold me down tonight
Minor fictions, I won't smile away
What's the picture drying in the paint?
Smile cause you know what I can do here
I'm not sure if I
Life is a joke, so says the tasteless, ruthless lullaby
Death of the soul, solemn belief that nothing is worthwhile
Not that there's hope, not that it's hopeless
Trying not to try

The Loudest Family
02:27
|
|||
The loudest family is happiest and they will show you
Lose no volume, lose no face
It's plain to see that they are flawless and joyful examples
Must be nice to feel no pain
Content to know, you'll never be as happy
Content to know, you'll never be like them
The loudest family, I wonder how they even stand it
Hollow gestures, empty phrase
Like actors in a play where life is fair and all are thankful
And all the bad guys get away

Mercury on Earth
01:30
|
|||
Bad luck starts today but some say
Fending for yourself is far from fatal
How you fake home, teach me
All I ever made was mercury on earth
Bad luck starts today but some say
Words and pictures never off the table
How you fake home, fool me
All I ever made was shining hell on earth

Homerule
01:30
|
|||
On the outside once, looking for a place to come home to
On the counter-blow
Friends, I've got to show
New one for the kiss'n'ride, it's home school
Pick the 3's and 1's
Elevate me home
On the outside once, looking for a place where I know you
Knew it all along
Pal, I gotta tell
Place me in a box and then dispel me
Flush me all away

Show's Over
02:12
|
|||
Waiting in the darkest hole
I've lived, now I pass the rope
What I'd give for another day at 17, carefree and alone
Lay here, only hours to go
Pale death, I will dream me home
What I'd give for another day at 34, carefree and alone
You can't fight forever, but don't go racing for the end
What I'd give for another day at 68, carefree and alone
No time left, just this moment
I will smile and fall, still carefree and alone

Whelpwisher Chicago, Illinois
Ben Grigg turned his attention to making solo recordings under the name Whelpwisher immediately after Chicago-based indie rock band Geronimo! played their last show in 2015. These recordings served Grigg as idea-engines for his bands over the years. The albums themselves stand alone as engaging and well crafted aural documents, despite the utilitarian intentions. ... more
