Through the breeze I have a doubt Was the motion here around Summer heat and hill and fog Is this the movie starting now? To find a better place A bigger car A longer wave Smoke in the distance Building fire here in Razorblade Through the fire, distant sounds Tapping fingers on their mouths Figures, footsteps through the haze Is this the future starting now?

Okay Sick 01:21
Never decided, what do you see? Scared and now quiet Walk it over Can you sleep half on the fence, half off? Forget about it Hell no Go back Stay at home

Don't need to know the truth, for what? It's inside out Hey wanna drag it though the mud and run around? It's consolation Polished and painless Viewed through the shadow Heartfelt and famous Send a medic in, for what? It's inside out Don't run and cover just because you hung around I want some time to think and be somebody A perfect shiny empty pit of honey I want some time to think and be somebody A shining golden goddess burning money Check your attitude, for what? It's inside out Hey wanna drag it through the mud and run around? How to know it's real?

Artist's impression of the sun Mirror shining, it's no one Come on down Until there's nowhere left to run or hurt you Come on down Artist's impression of the sun Every possession, it's no one Artist's impression of the sun Consuming all it can show on

Talk, you don't call, you don't think The future smiles, mouth watering Let's just call it a disaster, no Come and find me in my...no There's nowhere else to... Talk, you don't call, you don't think The future smiles, teeth glistening Let's just call it a disaster, no Come and find me in my hell if you can't take it Come and find me in my...no There's nowhere else to... Talk, you don't call, you don't think A thousand teeth all chattering Let's just call it a disaster, no Come and find me in my... Hard enough to make it Come and find me in my...no There's nowhere else to... Talk, you don't call, you don't think The future stares, eyes widening Let's just call it a disaster, no Come and find me in my... Grass is dead on both sides Come and find me in my...no It's hard enough to...

Doghouse 01:50
Sometimes not so easy You lose a friend and go watch TV Are you in the devil's doghouse? Really cleaned it out Rugs from IKEA and Wayfair Yeah, I think you should be going now Believe you've overstepped and understood Was it a bargain? Too good to pass along the savings? Was it a godsend? Jesus himself come down to save me?

Hey did you get strong Hey did you do right Did you replace, how do you repay What you didn't spend? Any way you ask me to Alright

Did you drive along til the edge of town on down What'dya you bring to save, are you gold and gray on down Is this life on Mr. Tape? Grab everything you can stay! Again and again

Slanted 02:50
Turn the wrench at almost anyone Fill the house up to the roof Can't find the page you said that you were on the run Is it just one more tag to start the game I won Tell this dream to almost anyone Head is due for being saved Was it just threes and fours and hammers to your head Anticipation of what you forgot you said The dream would end with me just staring into space as it crawls in Pick you favorite team from anyone On the edge of seeming strange Well you can pull it off and sell it to the man It's just another way of kicking down the can On a ride to hide the highs away You could run until you're blue Can't you decide before there's nothing left to say Just shake it off I see your worries melt astray

Gotta find a way to work it out How long do you wait? How does it taste, the followed wave?

about

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
