All the dregs and all the drags It’s the company I have We’re all common criminals The affidavit says Nobody ever pouts as much as I do Because, I know when it’s over There’s no you and I Same old body language Same old line Your fifteen minutes is up this time Your all used up and abandoned All I have to do is just pick up the phone Just so I can tell you that I don’t wanna talk Nothing left to say that I haven’t already, so much But I’ve got news for you I’ve got news for you That boy...leave him alone He got a gun for a mouth For all we know we all get born to die I just don’t know how to tell you no Gonna barely get by with you Every time I get the feeling I’m being used Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer If it’s all I ever get out of you Every time I turn around the colors are new Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer All I want is a way to get out of here Every time I turn around the faces get weird Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer They say bye Nobody ever pouts as much as I do Because I don’t call you sober and I don’t know why I don’t walk the crazy walk I just like to talk it cause it messes ‘em up Guess I make you nervous cause I know you so well But I’ve got news for you I’ve got a noose for you All I want is a way to get out of here Every time I turn around the faces get weird Still I only want to get high with you a little longer If it’s all I ever get out of you Every time I turn around the furniture moves Still I only wanna get high with you a little longer And say goodbye

There ain’t no god watching over you To save you from yourself And from harm too Listen to your heart it’s telling you the truth Do you think that you’ve wasted all your time Living someone else’s version of How it’s supposed to be, Either way, it’s hard I was waiting Waiting for the rain to fall over me Bracing for a fall I couldn’t see Turned around to see you At my door But you don’t have to say anything Cause I don’t even want to know Who you spent your time with Cause I don’t want to lose to you now But, I know how to be alone In the music’s arms and I’m not afraid of what your gonna do next But you know I’d be coming home If that’s what you wanted And I won’t have to prove anything else Takes so much of all our energy Back when we were so called enemies Turns you into junkies Just to get by Any day, I’d rather hear you Talk about when you were in Vietnam This is Normal Never gonna look back now Your so Normal

Ashley, I will never get to know Ashley goes so fast I take you like a habit Cause I never have a choice Mess with me like a cigarette buzz Match me for every dirty little thought Undress me with those innocent eyes But nothing ever happens Cause I know where it’s gonna go Ashley fades like a cigarette buzz Take from the river where your light shines I’ll be heavy where your light shines A part of me is sewn in body cares But, another part of me is returning silently Take me forever Where your light shines I’ll be heavy where your light shines Abode and no body’s sick cough ever We were louder No one’s heart is any louder I’ll be unfound and no one bother me Cause your still a part of me And it seems just like a dream I can’t wake up Out of this heaven in having your coattails

Shadows in the sun Walking close to you These things they go by so fast And then they sound all out of tune Or something like that Shadows in the sun I’d stick my neck out But I lost my body I turn to stone til’ they leave me alone I killed off every light He comes with seven eleven virgins, In all white With Coca Cola colored pearls I don’t mind, I don’t mind You get dejected all the time Do you want to feel wanted? So, I’m very sorry no one showed up When you where under operation But, I called you up And explained that I was bleeding on my company Please don’t get mad if I kissed another girl...before See now don’t go and get so excited Don’t break a nail for me And don’t make a bad habit for me Be compatible to your fingertips So simply mad I’m older and colder and I gotta know How a guy like that is possible So back on the street We don’t call the police I’d rather smash up my guitar She don’t mind, she don’t mind, she don’t mind She’s got a different way to cum But, I don’t even care See, what we have, what we have What we had made me stupid and sad This is an oversight (Does someone not see it)? Get all catholic If cannons point it our way You can’t unsolve it But, you don’t wanna look You were under operation When I called you up You see, now I’m the kind of cat Who thinks there’s an explanation For just about everything... But, this time I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, ect. ect.

July* 02:49
July, I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like You smell like July I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you like The stink of a crime Hung around for days On your pretty face We slept in a pile Of words that went wild I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like Can’t make it stop Roughin’ me up Coughing I my face Except in the night Our tongues don’t get tied I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things, I’ll forget how to lie Down and keep quiet I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like You smell like July I’ll say many things, I’ll say many things I’ll regret that you’ll like Let’s go to the ditch Throw the bullshit in Talk about the things We did in July I’ll look in your eye And know just what I meant I’ll know just what I meant When we spoke in July We spoke on July

Every time I turn around your looking away All I ever see is space All in your eyes Cold like a soldier’s Another step and your running around On a million mother’s minds Oh, but tonight I don’t know you I’ll never catch another fever again You’ll never hear me throwing touchy feely lines In a these songs in all this time Oh, but your eyes were looking over my shoulder I fell apart like a girl over you I hope they don’t do that to you Over the line You know I never should of showed you how You know I never should of showed you High up above There’s a room with a view I’d go there when you’d want me to Open you’re eyes You know we’re shoulder to shoulder If I fall apart and your nowhere to be found And I can’t reach out to anyone Not even that girl of mine The girl of my dreams is the girl in my nightmares I don’t what they ever do for you But, it’s odd that I got away Take it back I’m gonna tear it all apart I don’t know what I feel I don’t even know why But, then I turn around, turn around I see your eyes Then I know that it’s over I’ll never touch that ceiling again I don’t look back at all the photographs Oh, I work to hard at not seeing that See you’re eyes And you get me goin’ sober If I fall apart and your nowhere to be found And I can’t reach out to anyone Not even that girl of mine The girl of my dreams is the girl in my nightmares Every time I turn around Your looking away And all I ever see is space All in you’re eyes Made of stone like a soldier’s And up above there’s a room with a view And I go there when you want me to Open you’re eyes See now we’re shoulder to shoulder now You know I never should’ve shown you how You know I never should’a showed you If I fall apart and your nowhere to be found I can’t reach out to anyone The girl of my dreams is the girl in my nightmares

Just want to move somebody What’s standing in the way? They can’t believe I’ve never seen a God before Jesus freaks knocking at the door I said no matter how I reach you I just still don’t belong Solely to anyone But, last night I wanted to go with you You say we’d get on the road again And it’s all or nothing Back when a few was enough But every single part of me is crowded, overflowed Just like talkative deriere From out of New York City The streets gonna get you The city’s gonna swallow you And you will never feel like I do But, you will never feel like I do But, you will never feel like I do A fever like this I’ve never known before We get surrounded by the “know-it-alls” I find it so bizarre that I don’t talk to you again But that’s alright No, it’s insane But, if I were you And I saw the view I’d get lumps in my throat We’ve seen it al before We’ve heard it all before I never meant to make you laugh or cry You make me sigh So if you go feeling lowded like I do I feel desirable slightly out of view High and low Looking for a reason for me not to go Been dying just to have a fuckin’ conversation I wanna touch your lips when they’re not talking crazy But, you will never feel like I do But, you wool never feel like I do So, let’s get lowded and go start all over, and over, and over, and over Don’t want to get over Don’t want to get over I don’t want to get over you again

It’s not anyone in the world Not anyone in the world There’s only you I don’t want to wait here You think we don’t exist Just in you’re imagination But, you never know You’e got many questions We’ve got many answers But, they mean nothing to you So, you’ll never know...sad Your gonna walk alone tonight Your gonna walk alone forever Can’t stand your own reflection So tell me why I can’t talk about Anything when I get you alone You never want to ask But, you need the money Well, I never feel like I belong No apologies made here is all way through It’s true I lost all my affection Cause, they did nothing with it But, I am not a person That you’d want to know So, don’t know nobody You’re so in view Decadence on cue So, you’d never notice that It’s all gonna fade away Cause, oh, when you look in his eyes And you see it’s too late Don’t go too soon (don’t be like that) I want you to be loyal (you go so fast) You used to fake it less Your gonna walk alone tonight Your gonna walk alone forever Can’t stand your own reflection So tell me why I can’t talk about Anything when I get you alone You never want to ask Well, you need the money But, you never feel like you belong But, if all you do is fake it Then I guess that I will too I think your walking backwards When you talking in “what if’s” But, it’s just in my imagination You perpetuated We’re all zeroes in you’re eyes Heads with missing bodies We would never do Guess you never knew too much at all

about

After an engineer decamped for New York with the digital files of Lowded, the fourth album by the Spiral Sound, the band’s main man, Christian James, could’ve thrown in the towel. Instead, he restarted from scratch as a solo project –– recording on an iPhone, no less –– and created a canny hybrid of chilly reverb rock and dark electro. Though Lowded’s genesis predates Donald Trump’s America by several years, the jagged portent seeping through the grooves of the record’s electronic-shelled guitar rock is a fitting score for the Orwellian overtones of 2018.

about

THE SPIRAL SOUND Fort Worth, Texas

Electro-Rockers, THE SPIRAL SOUND, who’s music Christian James describes as “plastic sex rock”, is informed by electronic music, but angular guitars and effects laden riffs are the driving force that surround Christian’s raspy, androgynous and sentient vocal performances. The songs are danceable but dark and intelligent with odd guitar tunings, thick slabs of reverb, delay and polyrhythmic beats
