about

A song for my first friend Don.x

lyrics

Searchlights called off at dawn
What was left of him is long gone
Sisters sit on the front lawn
Drunken mother fell asleep with the chip pan on
Again
And life moves on

Six years old meant something once
Maybe it still even does to you
Wasted so much time since
Wonder how you would've fared with the same chance
To live
Is all we got

Now and then remember when
Watched you from the window cycle up our street
Longer gone than you were here
Maybe it's my duty not to live in fear
But to love
The present tense

about

Ernie Buck Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Lo-Fi Post Punk Garage Rock. Laughing, crooning and snarling in the face of nihilism.
Minimalist defiance, with a slice of lime. Cod-philosophical wannabe Pop with frayed edges. The sound of the absurd.
