Untitled Unfinished

Annihilate that iniquity
You feel when passing fast, blindly
If and again your feverish crave
Digs you into your own grave
I'll be here to pull you out
And snicker at your finest doubt
The silence won't explain at all
The eyes as blank as porcelain doll
Your ego is your weakness
Wearing out your tongue made it suspicious
I'm here for when I'm needed
But help me out my brain is bleeding
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, ah ha
The cruel contempt and rioting
All stay put in my eyes, shining
Pretentious as it may be
Holes in your heart filled with apathy
Never will it leave my head
Action stilled because of what you said
Feeling scorned and scoffed at
Obscurity controlled unlike that
Fast and grave I have been slave
To those that you have slain
I'm here for when I'm needed
But help me out my brain is bleeding
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, ah ha
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, you're the only one
Tonight, ah ha

I Can't Stay

Those eyes tunnel to a filmstrip and trap
They twist to burst in lineup
I melt in your gaze, so soft of a wrath
My shadow just can't keep up
Your face, so glowing, magnetic at first glance
Such comfort's such a mystery
My attention never averted I'm there only for you
You wait patiently for me
The door, the barrier
The shape bending my time with you
I can't stand to see your look as I go
I can't stay, but I will return for you
Your mind's complexity, I can't believe
Contribute evenly the power to retrieve
Enveloped in thought, or lack thereof
All others claim the same
The door, the barrier
The shape bending my time with you
I can't stand to see your look as I go
I can't stay, but I will return for you
Entangled in a web I know I cannot break
The strands still lay instead, wrapped tightly 'round each stake
The life I elsewhere live is somewhere you can't be
If I could take you with you'd always be with me
You better every morning,
When I see you lying there,
The sun is not what's warming
Next to me is your doting stare
The door, the barrier
The shape bending my time with you
I can't stand to see your look as I go
I can't stay, but I will return for you
I can't stand to see your look as I go
I can't stay, but I will return for you
I'll never forget you (All others claim the same)
I'll never forget you (All others claim the same)
I'll never forget you (All others claim the same)
I'll never forget you (All others claim the same)
I'll never
I'll never
I'll never
I'll never

Walk to your pulse
As result of your impulse
Trick all on edge
Pay homage to your false
Take the rail, take the realm
Balance further in your waltz
I might not come
Say it
Say it
Say it
Say it
Test your control
Walk to your pulse
As result of your impulse
Trick all on edge
Pay homage to your false
Take the rail, take the realm
Balance further in your waltz
I might not come
Say it
Say it
Say it
Say it
Test your control
Control

Policeman

Something sifted in the air
I pan my vision everywhere
While I was skating with my friends
As it rounded the corner I could tell
That media-loving sort of smell
Had its harassment planned out from the bend
And I'm not sure why
But I could swear his thigh
Was nice and juicy enough to eat
To protect and serve
Yeah, those are the words
They use in place of brutality
I had no problem at first
But it seems the monster's thirst
For authority grew more
Its voice raised and strained
Like there's something to gain
Sir, there was no need for force
And I'm not sure why
But I could swear his thigh
Was nice and juicy enough to eat
To protect and serve
Yeah, those are the words
They use in place of brutality
Still not sure why
But using hypnotizing lies
They get by without a scratch
Their word over ours
And overexploited powers
Still lay unnoticed, in fact
After the abuse I thought I saw
A crumb hang on his lower jaw
Swear to god, no joke no lie
Laughed quite loud to myself
Tries to intimidate and needing help
That pig must wish he could fly
And I'm not sure why
But I could swear his thigh
Was nice and juicy enough to eat
To protect and serve
Yeah, those are the words
They use in place of brutality
Still not sure why
But using hypnotizing lies
They get by without a scratch
Their word over ours
And overexploited powers
Still lay unnoticed, in fact
Still lay unnoticed, in fact
Still lay unnoticed, in fact

Velvet Correction
03:07

The flat greens extend to a bent fence
Side to side with wood and a little menace
A call heard from inside to break the scene
A blur of black and brown fly by me
She exploded
Explosion
Explosion
Explosion
Fall in and out of loopholes
Home's a flexible word
She exploded
Explosion
Explosion
Explosion
The flowers hide the weeds and the slope
A fence, too, ends the flow, they'll cope
The dirt is printed and packed down
I feel a warmth come up from the ground
She exploded
Explosion
Explosion
Explosion
The purring of their velvet affection
But inside there's a violent correction
She exploded
Explosion
Explosion
Explosion
Don't waste my time
You're a waste of mind
Don't waste my time
You're a waste of life
She exploded
Explosion
Explosion
Explosion

Medulla

Her body's a department store
Take what they want, in and out
She's an innocent little whore
Surprised I don't want to
Smash her bottle on her head anymore
It's not important
Your mind's a planet all its own
Forget about it
You're on a planet all alone
He's lost at the word confuse
Ear to ear is empty, in and out
Slow, with joy to my amuse
When he talks I think he
Should swallow a mortar and light the fuse
It's not important
Your mind's a planet all its own
Forget about it
You're on a planet all alone
Oh, so it's not your fault?
You were listening but
You didn't catch what I said?
Tell me about your problems
It sounds like fun like bludgeoning that charming head
In her head is a cave
Echo's loudly, in and out
Only thinks of when to shave
Droning on knowing my ear
Averted from her constant merciless wave
It's not important
Your mind's a planet all its own
Forget about it
You're on a planet all alone
Tschüss Medulla
From Medulla
Tschüss Medulla
From Medulla
To a planet all your own

The awkward silence, it sooths and it burns
To communicate without gestures or words
The heat of your heart, it sooths and it burns
To touch feelings so deep with no concerns
Happiness you hide, no need to be shy
Communicate freely with no omission lies
Love seen in your eyes, no need to be shy
Melancholy settles in me when you say good-bye
The awkward silence, it sooths and burns
Leaves you deaf and dumb with a subtle loss words
The heat of our part, it sooths and it burns
Lacking you, without my echo, always brought concern

I read through every note you wrote me
A hundred some papers filled with memories
Good and bad, they're all still here
Big neat print from you, my dear
After reading through each one
I felt smitten and low
I read "I love you" a thousand times
Never again will it have the same effect
I read "I love you" and never do I think
That I'll ever let it hassle me again
Always and forever
Never, ever
The crayon stained pictures are what
Leave me guessing for your new smut
Nothing for a double take
I sit here still because I'm forced awake
After reading through each one
I sigh and put them away
I read "I love you" a thousand times
Never again will it have the same effect
I read "I love you" and never do I think
That I'll ever let it hassle me again
Always and forever
Never, ever
The notes, they pile up in this box
All about ordeals to booing the Hawks
I remember every one when you gave them to me
The material's the same but not monotony
I don't think I'm over you
But, I'll try not to mind that you're not with me
I read "I love you" a thousand times
Never again will it have the same effect
I read "I love you" and never do I think
That I'll ever let it hassle me again
Always and forever
Never, ever

Bathroom Stall

Yes, I think we are in Rats Alley
where the dead lost their bones
I smile with guilty jaws
and feel my soul grow cold
only the dead are smiling
You're my boy blue
God loves the ugly
Yes, me and you
I'm not insane
I'm not insane
I'm not insane
I'm not insane
As you slide into home
You'll be the one with the most skidmarks
Beauty isn't skin deep
When you're deep as a puddle
I've always just liked the idea
Of you never graduating
I'm not insane
I'm not insane
I'm not insane
I'm not insane
You're insane

An Anarchist's Niche
03:41

Hollowed stone
Play my own
Protest suffering and do nothing
Higher sky
Let me fly
Father hugging in a civil war scene
They burn the flag
Kiss and shag
Do the right thing
Make a hooked swing
Pacifist
Naturalist
Pencil in your name in case of mistake
Life's a little easier when it's a little blurrier
Life's a little blurrier when it's a little easier
Life's a little easier when it's a little blurrier
Life's a little blurrier when it's a little easier
Love the weather
Sickle feather
Keeping up to times building better mines
Sleep with your blades
And hand grenades
The fire illuminates and licks the sky
Life's a little easier when it's a little blurrier
Life's a little blurrier when it's a little easier
Life's a little easier when it's a little blurrier
Life's a little blurrier when it's a little easier
Racist insomnia, your battlefields and glory seeking
Tremors feel smooth again, my greatest thanks to you for nothing
Racist insomnia, your battlefields and glory seeking
Tremors feel smooth again, my greatest thanks to you for nothing

Come and dance with me
Upon this dirty street
Let's paint the town
With a thick sound
With a thick sound
With a thick sound
After dark we seek
All the dirty freaks
No one will see
Do as you please
With that ripping sound
With that ripping sound
Round after round
Civilians hit the ground
Round after round
While there's no one around
Why's the sun so hard to find?
Why's the sun so hard to find?
After dark we seek
All the dirty freaks
No one will see
Do as you please
With that thick sound
With that thick sound
Round after round
Civilians hit the ground
Round after round
While there's no one around
Why's the sun so hard to find?
Why's the sun so hard to find?
The sun won't come out
The sun won't come out
The sun won't come out
The sun won't come out
After dark they seek
All the dirty freaks
No one will see
Do as you please
With that thick sound
With that thick sound
Round after round
Civilians hit the ground
Round after round
While there's no one around
Why's the sun so hard to find?
Why's the sun so hard to find?
The sun won't come out
(Why's the sun so hard to find?)
The sun won't come out
(Why's the sun so hard to find?)
The sun won't come out
(Why's the sun so hard to find?)
The sun won't come out
Why's the sun so hard to find?
Why's the sun so hard to find?
Why's the sun so hard to find?
Why's the sun so hard to find?

Silver Wall

Electric platform
Under me
It's all been done before
Repeat, repeat
Repeat it on and on
Silvered peak
To them the feeling's gone
But not me
Inside the message flaws
Hide the weak
Beside a brand new dawn
Old obscurity
Writhing writer's palm
Face pale and bleak
All but humor's wrong
Tongue in cheek
Scratch the silver wall
Don't you see?
There nothing left to call
Yours or unique
All this time enthralled
With its physique
Nothing not for long, Dee
Scratch
Scratch

Clidesfeld Minneapolis, Minnesota
Clidesfeld is a project by Brandon Patrick Sullivan. Largely characterized by distortion, tension, and reflection, Clidesfeld is inconsistent in tone and texture.
Clidesfeld recommends:
AGED is such a captivating piece of art, echoing between my ears with crooning emotion and melancholic melody. I feel like I'm in a cave witnessing someone's hopes slowly erode. And I adore it.

Another music project by Brandon Patrick Sullivan. Haunting minimalist instrumentals between synths and live drums.

Telamones are a a two-piece that sound huge. Their double-amped fuzzy riffs and thunderous grooves complement well against each of their smooth vocals. I dig their energy.
