So suddenly
The madness came
With its whiskered wolven ether pangs
He locked the door
And shut the blinds
He laid down on the floor
And he slept like iron
While the dirty knife
Worked deep into his spine
The blood runs crazy
The blood runs crazy
Cascading letters pool on the stairs
The grass is high
The cats are wild
You can?t even touch the tip of their tails
And the blood runs crazy
With giant strides
He sang nursery rhymes
To paralyze
The wolves that eddy out the corner of his eyes
But they squared him frozen where he stood
In the glow of the furniture
Piled high for firewood
And the blood runs crazy
With giant strides
And the woodsman failed to breech those
Fangs in time
So they dragged him through the underbrush
Wearing three winter coats
And a dirty knife

This album is untouchable. FLAT OUT. Somehow uplifting and upsetting at the same time. As it plays, other music seems to me...like, suddenly vulgar or something. It’s just fucking Wife Eyes
wow. this album makes me love bands again. takes me back to the day discovering the Pixies or Sonic Youth or something shit. gets me digging for music again. Top fucking Notch. Wife Eyes
