Voicebox 02:46
She stole my voicebox Give me back my voicebox She plucked my vocal chords Ripped them out chromatically 'Til I lost every note 'Til I forgot who to be. I used to sing I used to sing so beautifully! I was the devil's golden trumpet once. I used to part the seas. But she didn't want me and now neither do you. So now when I sing No sound comes out Now when I sing No sound comes out But if it did, it would go: O my Lord, O my Lord Won't you come just like the rain Wash my soul, wash my soul Make me clean again. O my Lord, o my Lord Won't you come just like the thunder Strike my soul, guide me home Guide me home.

I saw a light, I saw it Catch the shape of black winged birds I caught a light, I caught it I watched it glow with my every word. There's a house in my head In a field where the horses and the dead rest There are clotheslines and power lines Grapevines and pumpkin pie For miles and miles and miles Of cornstalks and voiceboxes Broken fences, promises Promises you would be back But you never came back, no You never came back. I saw a light, I saw it Catch the shape of black winged birds I caught a light, I caught it I watched it glow with my every word. There's a house in my head I was there when I was a kid A dirty road and a faded old barn There is a man inside I knew who had died long ago But he is there, staring out the window Staring at us as we drive into the tornado. We are running from shadows.

Autumn leaves fall on me Autumn leaves fall on my heart Everything turns red and gold Watch the winds blow, watch the winds blow Everything turns red and gold Watch the winds blow the trees over Onto my heart. Running from the shadows, run, run Red leaves are dead leaves and they fall my heart.

I don't know what you want from me Broken jaw, falling leaves The birds and bees are enemies When the autumn comes, so will we be. Why won't you say you love me? When I'm alone, I don't listen to the radio I only listen to the sun, oh the sun, oh the sun As it burns my skin Oh, it comes 'round again and it burns Right into my skin Oh, do it again and again Why won't you say you love me? I don't want to know

about

The Town Monster Columbus

If synth pop wandered into a dark alley and found itself viciously beaten by a gang of guitar distortion and layered rhythms, it might sound an awful lot like The Town Monster.

The music all culminates in The Town Monster's crushing live show, an electro bath of sensory overload. It finds out what happens when noise becomes symphony.
