lyrics
Well, I met you on a Sunday,
on my birthday
Seems I finally made it here
at the dawning of a new year
You held me in front of you
My instincts linger
So I grabbed your finger
There’s still no ring there
You’ve been taking it easy
Oh, don't patronize me
'Cause with all of your words
It's indistinct and overworked
Why am I not surprised at all?
The wind is cold, creeping through the walls
Why am I not surprised at all?
The parts lost or misconstrued
The holes you sometimes sink into
The sparks that will shortly fill the sky
Most of them will be mine
I’m chewing on them again,
the syllables of my name
While you're taming your memory
with nursery rhymes or elegies
We’ve been taking it easy,
the animals and me
'Cause a life without words
has never made it any worse
Why am I not surprised at all?
The lies you've told stutter in the walls
Why am I not surprised at all?
The truth you sometimes stumble upon
The way you just keep walking on
The sparks that will shortly fill the sky
Most of them will be mine
Once this wristband is cut from my arm
You know, I somehow find it charming how you're fumbling
And I think you will acquire the skills
As I lie here still, I’ve got high hopes for you
Why am I not surprised at all?
The lies you've told stutter in the walls
Why am I not surprised at all?
The truth you sometimes stumble upon
The way you just keep walking on
The sparks that will shortly fill the sky
All of them will be mine
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
supported by 8 fans who also own “Surprised at All”
Daily focus-training coupled with strong work ethics pointed toward making life more bearable for others, could turn around this age for the better. This album is beautiful. A force for good. CHOSEN
