Crying

Asleep on beds of leaves of grass
Counting stars and sands of time
This earthen vessel will not last
My ghost will leave its shell behind
For occult realms and other worlds
In other words, I feel that I'm
A pilgrim on a narrow way
A mortal lead by the divine
Through inner space and awkward timings
Energies and essences
Asking all life's deep questions
Like what love is
What turns lead to gold
And my cold heart to flesh
I can feel it in my viscera
My home is somewhere else
I was crying, the shadows are stretched out
I was crying out, "the shadows are stretched"
With acuteness of thought
And precision of language
I speak the truth in love
You laugh in self defense
It's Heaven's discretion
whether you accept
I call this night witness
Now choose: life or death
I was crying, the shadows are stretched out
I was crying out, "the shadows are stretched"
I was crying, the shadows are stretched out
I was crying out, "the shadows are stretched"

Human Gauze

Emotionally expensive like love that is true
If I change my perspective then health will ensue
I am completely drained I cannot live like this
I know that you want this, I know that you want this
So whatever it is, it is all in my head
They're defining mature the way I define jaded so
Have gotten over it or have I gotten used to it
I know that you want this, I know that you want this
Breathe in, I'm looking out for you
So if I can relax, I can just work this out
They tell me to breathe in, they tell me to breathe out
They call themselves "The Light, " that's foreshadowing
My darling is the light that tomorrow brings
All my sentences end in ellipsis...
If you are the sun, darling, I am the solar eclipses
Is this harmony or is that overcast?
You weren't my first; you weren't my last
Well, if not love, then whaddo we have
A draft of blood.
Well, what is love?
A human gauze.
Soak the blood
Soak the blood
Soak the blood
Soak the blood
Breathe in, I'm looking out for you

A fascinating bit of bedroom outsider indie, Suchus has crafted nine songs with beguiling melodies and watery layers of guitar.

if no one else cares, why should I care?
by Good Good Blood
Pairing lo-fi indie rock with silvery folk instrumentation, the self-described "bedroom pop wizard" casts a cozy, poignant spell.
