Requiem #1 01:21
2.
Single things are mingling in weary heads / And stray around lover’s beds in warm nights / The days just rust and rot or bust ‘till there’s nothing left / No lover’s hand drew the draft for life // Nobody cares / Our eyes just stare into empty space / Imagining better days to start / And cars collide / Planes cloud the sky but we couldn’t care less / Nothing can distress our broken hearts // And we don’t feel like we’ve felt before / The faces we have seen / The knocks on our door were a dream / We hallucinate / So we dream away in the moldy air / In the company of ghosts / In the dark and dull places where we hibernate //
3.
It’s changing / I feel storms coming up / Can’t seem to find my paddle / Buried by the waves / The kids are throwing stones / There from the shore / Unless they hit the boat / It might take me home // And your love will carry me downstream / Down to the waterfall splashing // I tried to circumnavigate any big circumstance / For fear of the safety / Of you and me / But I could not hold you back / When you jumped into the lake / And left me on my own / Yelling “Don’t go down!” // ‘cause my love had overgrown your esteem / You’re drifting at twice the pace than me / Away from the waterfall // My memory carries me downstream / Down where the waterfalls are crashing / Where all of the happiness gets drowned / Note to myself: don’t go down / Don’t go down //

Dans Mon Lit 02:34
‘Tu as l'air d'une impératrice’ / C'est ce que j'ai écrit dans une lettre à demi finie / C'est vrai, j'ai médité tant d'heures / Aux cheveux blondes et aux cœurs brisées / Aux yeux bleus et aux fleurs flanées // Et dans mon lit j'ai retrouvé une lettre de ma ancienne chérie / Et je lu et relu toute la nuit mes erreurs et mes folies / Et j'ai écrit entre les lignes et les places vides / Au crayon rouge sur les blancs / Tu me manques tu me manques tu me manques / Tu me manques tu me manques tu me manques

Requiem #2 01:49
6.
Give up on us / It’s not worth fighting / All’s been said / We’ve tried everything / Sometimes relationships just fail // Give up on us / I’ve grown so tired / Of your ways / I don’t admire / Anything about you anymore // Give up on us / ‘cause you remind me / Of how I’d love / To be your baby / Sometimes I feel I still need you // Come give up on us now / Why don’t you give up on us now / Don’t give up on us now // I wish I could wish you out of my life / I can’t wish you out of my life
7.
Flake 02:47
And when you feel alone I'm on the phone / And when you fall asleep I'll drag you home / You wake up with the sunset in your eyes / Now the day will kiss your face before it dies // And when you seek advice come take my hand / I'm sure we will stay friends when all this ends / You melt by love's warmth / Who's to take the blame? / You've been a flake with someone else's name // Just know that when you leave / Your love is safe with me
8.
They gave me cups of cough syrup / I drank it up / I drank until I threw up on the bathroom floor / I couldn't see the colors in the sink / There are no patterns to think that weren't blue or selfish / My head conjures up things that my hands can never accomplish // They told me that I cried at birth / What else to do for what it's worth? / They put me into trembling hands / But this woman could not make amends / They should have let me in her womb / Or in the testes of her groom / But everything we meditate is always much to late // And they put ribbons in your hair / And they taught you how to speak / To show you that they'd care / For all that your heart leaks / And they dressed you up in white / To keep an image of you still / In their catholic minds / You could not possibly fulfill // They told us about the sense of life and they covered it up in mist / A secret that's so hard to find ‘cause it just doesn't exist / Say how long have we climbed this mountain or searched this desert's dunes? / I would have fallen off or died of thirst / If it wasn’t for you

Dullwood Tampa, Florida

Starting with 'Seagull Pheromone', a 2007 demo comprising a few songs written in the course of five years and given away only to a few people on CD-R, the home-recording project Dullwood has produced its first official album 'Ghosts/Recollections' in 2009, which was self-published a year later and was followed by scarce live concerts. ... more
