raindrops fell without rage
eyes half-closed
skin like dark gray metal
inanimate and cold.
another flame to my face
the smell of sulfur lingering away.
you're here for the perforation of the heart.
precise incisions; anesthetic dreams.
it's broken like a ticking watch that need repairs
shattered glass, exposed face, waiting to be wound.
wounded like a friend of mine who eased
his pain by killing time
not letting it kill him.
when you wake up you won't remember anything.
but that night the ghosts wailed in the windstorm.
cries sharp like a crescent moon
a sickle grazed against the skin
my breath fogged up the window
so i let the night breathe in.
i let the ghosts into my room and listened to their screams
incessant whisperings singing like music to my ears
a flash of life like lightning electric blinding blue
reminded me of me.

HWM is amazing!
lucky enough to have gone to the lawrence arms hwm concert about 5 years back!

Lucky!!! I had "The Greatest Story Ever Told" but at the time it didn't really hit me right and I let a friend borrow it and never got it back or asked for it really.
I dunno, I guess I should give that one another try sometime, but it seemed a lot different from their older stuff. Plus I read a review at the time that really talked it up. Also though my tastes in music have expanded greatly other than just straight punk and other alternative music of the 90's.

lyrics are slightly wrong, should be:
wounded like a friend of mine who eased
his pain by killing time
not letting it kill him
in related news, this song is probably my favorite lawrence arms song!

Oh haha thanks. I just copied and pasted this from a lyrics site.
Oh and this song is fucking amazing. By the way, I love your username. Turnstile is one of my top 10 favorite HWM songs.

Yea I said I would hit a Ghost Stories song sometime. I don't own this cd, but I had wanted to get it at one time and still would.
Very cool!

You should definitely get it. Asian Man Records just reissued this and A Guided Tour of Chicago. Ghost Stories is the best album I've ever heard.

Haha my friend bought A Guided Tour of Chicago and Greatest Story Ever Told and he said I could just have both of them.
crassisdead 2 years ago
That's what I thought about Greatest Story when I first heard it but I listened to it a couple more times and I eventually started loving every song on it. I can't really say the Lawrence Arms have released an 'average' album.
