about

This is a live demo. Imagination is needed to appreciate what this song could be at its full potential. A studio version is forthcoming.

lyrics

Everyone knows what blame feels like
When it’s their fault indeed
Everyone knows what tears taste like
They taste like salt, you see.

And it’s your last name first
And your first name last
On this list alphabetically
And it’s your future first
With your curse told last
Drawn from this palm I read

Everyone knows what sky looks like
It seems like hope to me
And everyone knows what love smells like
It smells like soap to me.

And it’s your sadness first
with your mirth shown last
In this life collectively
But the sun is first
With the earth third cast
In this wide cosmology

Everyone knows what love feels like
It feels like jealousy
And everyone knows what the sky looks like
It seems like home to me.

Everyone knows what birds sound like.
They breathe out melody
Everyone knows what words feel like
But that depends on memory

And it’s your last name first
And your first name last
On this list alphabetically
But the dirt’s flung first
With the flowers last
On this grave right next to me.

Everyone knows what praise feels like
It feels quite false to me
And everyone knows what blood tastes like.
It tastes like salt you see.

No middle initial.

Two albums, numerous "live demos," one too-long hiatus and (most importantly) one bass distortion pedal later, Muhlbock continues to release riff-based alt. rock, scattered with lush harmonies and dotted with cryptic and/or disillusioned lyrics. ... more
