I don't know you but I love the aching pain Of always being awake and never eating Lovely Feeling I know now nothing will ever be the same This is more than I can take Never sleeping, always dreaming Right here, right now On the floor, get down Take me to heaven I want to go now Love me like this is the last night of your life. Right here, right now On the floor, get down Take me to hell I want to go now Love me like this is the last night of your life. Tonight, you are all mine Tonight in all the neon lights There's no rest for the wicked I don't know you but you drive me insane Take the wheel, run me off the road I will not feel a thing. I know now this is not a game I sold my name to buy your drugs Called 'Never Eating/Lovely Feeling' Tonight, you are all mine Tonight in all the neon lights There's no rest for the wicked

Glory, glory, hallelujah My Lord Jesus Christ is born Matchsticks and crucifixes, ribbons and bows Wash my soul clean as the snow With pine cones and secrets and mistletoe I buried my heart in a willow grove. A tinker, two tailors, three drums and four bells My last five pennies in the wishing well I sold my name for a wedding ring Six girls dancing while the seventh one sings.... Dance around like paper dolls! Your voice is spun from gold! One of these nights, angels will come And carry you out the window. And if they should leave me alone I will pray to the Lord And go lay down in the willow grove.

If I make a wish It's to kiss you on the lips The you that I knew on the other side Before the breaking of the tide So long ago In the ocean of my mind The piano hums Like the breaking of your skies Like a newborn child I am the wish of life Won't you let me go? I want it all but black birds are circling Thousands of black knives stabbing the grey skies That were never mine. I want it all, yes Everything in my eyes. I want everything outside inside of me Snow in your soul! Bless you, bless you Then right out of your nose. So shake it out. Shake it on out. Love of my life, How have you been? What are you up to? It's not the same without you. I sit in my room and I write letters and dream of horses kissing jellyfish. The spectacle of its tentacles upon a palomino wish! Horses killing jellyfish. I never meant to break your heart anymore than you meant to break mine. All I know is that I need you to stay alive. So shake it out! Shake it on out! My eyes are open! Black birds are circling! My heart is filled up! You moved my hands. My eyes are open! I am not a ghost! I will be forever awake where I lay in the land!

This will be the last day of my life Don't ask me how I know, I just know Yeah, and I am not afraid to die We bury our bodies in the ground But our souls glow Like the leaves on the trees and the birds and the bees And the weeds, willow groves And the smell of your clothes And the way you would smile on country roads You will always make my heart explode. Glow like the tears on your face Memories we erase And that quiet place only you and I know We're falling softly, laying down And melting without a sound Like the snow on the hills Of Ohio.

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.
