Nothing Left In Pretty Songs

I foretold the day when bombs rained down
and lives were torn around the town
and mothers, children wept in the bleeding rain
and men in bits called hell by name
and the suits and the ties were scattered around
I remembered dreaming hearing sounds
I dreamed the world was going on
and there was nothing left in pretty songs.

I saw collapse and hell and death
and everywhere men stole where they went
and women used and tossed behind
and memory banks being robbed blind
and the old left to shudder in the gloom
while their eyes that cried were hollow tombs
I dreamed the world was going on
and there was nothing left in pretty songs.

And paintings of art were burned away
and visionaries preached in the streets all day
while the cults sprang up like smoke and flames
and they took their turns taking names
and everything changed that day it seemed
nothing stopped when no one screamed
I dreamed the world was going wrong
and there was nothing left in pretty songs.

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
