"Thousand Oaks" lyrics
"Thousand Oaks"
Nobody's going to fix her now
But it's a world full of trouble
An American massacre
In southern California
But we're reasoning with messengers
Who sit and talk about the weather
When it's just another nightmare
A slaughter of the children
With the wolves out there
And the bleeding hearts
And the long, blank stares
And the open mouths
She had her last shirt on
Now all stained with blood
With nowhere to run
And you sit and wonder whether anything could be done
And I could climb a mountain
But what am I going to find there?
When nothing comes from nothing
With every man an island
And we're reasoning with messengers
Who try to pass for grown men
And they're coming up empty
And they're sending you their thoughts and prayers
With the wolves out there
And the bleeding hearts
And the long, blank stares
And the open mouths
She had her last shirt on
Now all stained with blood
With nowhere to run
And you sit and wonder whether anything could be done

He's just sitting at the bar

Sharon Van Etten - "Let Go" Brother's smile
Taking on its own
Identity
Only to then leave it behind
Foreign light in the afternoon
Held by what-be-nots
Stay until remembered
Here I'm standing
Ripped apart by albatross
Hanging...
The Hold Steady - "Family Farm" St. Catherine's was a nightmare
You know they took away my headphones
Sure they let you keep your handset
But the courtyard is a dead zone
And the nurse that they assigned me
Had Eruption as her...
