a silence in carelessness the new year is here uninformative loss of words the uncomfortable stares remake an ambivalent crossroad of lowercase waves the stairs in your back room leading to where you keep your torches unlit and untouched waiting for some new kind of faith to fuck your hair up and you wake up to a new sound the one that you found & to a new feeling that makes you smile when no one's around the things that we’d laugh about in a previous haze dries off in your black hair disappears into air i’d think your mercy ruler was a few inches off firing the four tires off of the speeding free car believe i’m right here i’m weak and it’s time back to when i thought i’d change and back to the place i was told i’d never be back into the foothill the map that has led me cross eyed and crawling i’m tired of blaming

In the day we have each other In the night time we close our eyes In the spring time we're lovers We carry our pride The knife side faces me I cling to a tree Our own zone feels free I feel alright Veiled in blue you tell me I should worry Under the leaves the gravel and bees The heat defaces me honest I bleed out to dry The knife side faces me We're filling the creek The truth now becoming free I feel I've died Goodbye child your voice it has been heard You're growing in a healthy burrowing ear You wish me well I wish you well This all points back to me I wish it well I wish you hell

The sound of the long hall Becomes the one you call The sights the salts of those tears You carry beneath your chin This can't be the reason you scream Circling the drain This is how we go there cleanly The maze you built with homegrown seeds Looks like it's grown a few more feet The end can't find dig thru Carve up dirt hills in sight of your shoes We catch the next rat that we catch Chanting pacing This is how get there crazily You're here again uninvited You bring me reason to breathe I bring you reasons you need to leave

There isn't poetry to be consumed There isn't a move to shape yourself into There isn't peace inside the classrom Until you find where the heat comes through Even then what becomes of you doesn't last The scene was set then became true The lion tamed and stayed in its two by two in leiu Of the kinder boy we hired for this work His shirt became one with the back of the rock We knew his skin was gone

Prathloons Chicago, Illinois

Prathloons is the Chicago-based songwriting project of Collin Dall. His songwriting layers poetic, melancholic lyrics atop glacial arrangements on guitar, drums, piano, & violin. The songs reminisce on the mess of getting old, the woes of life-long relationships, & accepting that the meaning of our time on earth is simpler than we think: to love and listen, and to hope for the same in return. ... more
