lyrics

These memories are easy
to drink to a standstill
but it's these dreams and the feeling they leave
that ain't so easy to shake.

And I want this grave dust to blow away,
not because it's too much, but because it's become
not nearly enough.

You tell me that I'm not a specter
as you pass straight through me.
And you tell me that I'm not a spider
as you bat me with a broom.

I kneel in this changing water
and I wet my hands
and I wet my hair
and I wet my teeth
and I wet my eyes
and everything changes.
Yeah, everything but me.
I can never not be me.
Yeah, who might he be?

Endless Tall Boys

One of my closest and longest-time collaborators, Scott Sell is the present-tense torchbearer of Townes Van Zandt's restless ghost. It's a joy making his songs so much weirder. Blind Pelican
