about

In the third month of 2009, Rick found himself alone with lots of songs and a guitar. A week later he met Matthew, who happened to have lots of instruments and a tape recorder. They bought some microphones, recorded songs, and then played some good/not very good shows.
He continues to embark on his adventure of storytelling from picture books, daydreams and apparent religious menace. ... more

Track Name: Wax House: the sound of your voice breaks my skin, and everybody knows i'm failing. but i won't let that get to me, because sleeping eats away at me. and when we walk through this wax house, the heat from our bodies melts these walls, like every time we kissed before. and i feel so lost right now. i never felt so fragile. i never felt this close to death. this inevitable storm, the storm where i was born, we built our dreams on stone, and lived there on our own, but it never was my home. so here's to your life without me, i promise you'll never feel as tall as when you stretched to kiss me. you knew i wouldn't let you fall. and i will chase these storm clouds. i do not need my mind for this. just a box of memories, and we can get lost in these hills.
Track Name: Depth Charge: i am a depth charge under the sea. and all you little fishes better stay away from me. i am the rooster who wakes you up. for one last day of breathing here before your lungs are done. and despite your lack of breathing, you still came to say goodbye. and the crops that stood around you held your wings out to the sky. you were not fulfilled there was no ending in your eyes. your shoulders just looked heavy, then you flew into the sky. i am a depth charge you wait and see. you cant hold your breath too long, and you're way too close to me. we all are borrowed from somewhere else. a place where those who kicked the chairs pretend they never fell.
Track Name: Foreign Bodies: let me be. i wanna be on my own for a little while. so i can find some clarity, so i can drink myself to sleep. i wont kick, and i wont scream, you won't hear a thing from me. just a faint and slow heartbeat, and i will leave so silently. when we return to this place, i hope i never see your face. and though it breaks my heart to think that we wont ever speak again. that you won't ever look the same. and my memories will fade. foreign bodies in one place.
Track Name: Seams: the seams on my chest are wearing out. that's something i should care about. and i'm self destructing in this house. the counter is broke, and i am alone. i know there's something in these chords that's helping me to feel adored. and i never really felt before, so just let me sing this song to you, and then you will know, i did this for you. the smile on your face, it says you're alive. but i don't really buy it since you are not mine. and how can you live if you don't have a heart? there's no beat in you. my grip has grown loose, i will not let go. my beats will stop too. and though i can't swim, my seams will float through. seams on my chest you're wearing out. that's something you should care about. and i will stay and haunt this house. my blood has run dry, i can not breathe. i can no longer sing. you did this to me. you don't look in my eyes when you tear me apart.
Track Name: I Heard The Devil: i heard the devil in this song i wrote. the shadows in my voice enticed him home. these chords could play my soul, like cellos playing at a funeral home. it's hard to be this broke, when my body still feels like it's whole. and i'm bound to this wooden floor, the splinters chip away at my shadow. dead wood making homes in my silhouette.
breathe in my dear, lets hold our breath and feel the death of our skin. breathe in my dear, let our remains remain as proof we were here.
Track Name: Rapture: you're home for one day, and then this rapture will take you away. away from here. and i can't stand to watch you go, so let's take off all our clothes. and watch the world erode. to another place, where our skin feels brave. and the fabric from which we are spun becomes our home. and as lovely as you are, i won't let you go.
Track Name: Nightmares: sitting on the edge of this house could mean so much to us. we could find our first love. we could wake ourselves up. i walk this country road, in the dark and the cold, and the asphalt gives up. no light from the trucks. so i walked in these heels that you left in my back. and i take all the warmth, and the love i gave back. and i never wrote you a single song cause you mess them all up, and you sing them all wrong. so i'll leave you alone in your house with your kid. and i fucked all your friends and i'll tell them i'm it. and this is more poison than i wish i could give. though the ice is still melting, it's still just the tip. sitting on this bench, watch the world come to me. but it never really does, that's the joke here you see.
Track Name: Beneath Your Skin (Atlas): these fluorescent lights are showing all my lines, and you never looked that great in artificial light. this ceiling weighs a ton, and i hold it on my own. and no one in their right mind has atlas in their bones. there's nothing more hollow than a room filled with you, and i am pretty hollow, i echo through and through. you're marble on the outside, and nothing beats in you. and i could be your everything, if you had light beneath your skin. between the gravestones in your eyes, i leave the flowers by your side.
Track Name: Nightlight: oh no, i broke you into a thousand subtle splinters. so hold on for i will return to you. this i promise you. so keep on believing that i am your candle. that i am your light, so keep on believing that i am your candle, that i am your nightlight.
Track Name: Contents: let me hold your urn, the contents of your body. you left it to the ocean, didn't you. now i have got no more heart left, no modest way to say. that now you're gone, this is my end of days. the creaking of the floorboards, the cement in my bones. i've got nothing left to write about. my melodies are done. i'm holding onto something i care about. i'm waiting for this world to get me out.
Track Name: Stories: you took me up six stories, and i kissed you on the floor. showed me all the pictures that were holding up your walls. and then you let your guard down, and i saw the girl i'd love. but i can't shake these memories, with your scent still on my clothes. your fingers dent my bedsheets, you are the living dead you know. and if i ever saw you, i hope this world would keep me whole, because you'd be just be that stranger i fell in love with long ago. so let's all go to heaven, and we'll give them a fake name. tell them you are better than your body let you be. now i just tell the story of how we all just came along, and how heaven is just memories, of the love that we held once. so keep it in your fingers, and don't ever let it go.
