Babelism

lyrics

Once in a lifetime
You can see me in the clearing
Disjunct attitude
Leave a little room for the sirens in this locked cage
Pick up, drain it, balls to the wall
I’m a little sullen in this bright romance
Take me from this place I used to be
There’s something in this capstan, a darkness in me
Your babelism

Comets, ulcers, they’re all the same
Curve it, turn it, you’re Amaze-On-Wheels
Darkness in the summer –
Someone’s in the master bedroom, better get them out
Stick it, fuck it
Pull it, drive it, you’re a maze on wheels
I’m Amaze-On-Wheels
I will strike these deals
She is craving meals
He is marking reels
Someone’s in the private doorway
Better suck them out, better get them out
Better lock them out

Stuck on solid footing
You can feel me on the steering
Unjust penchant worn
Take a little hum from the starving in this locked room
Rain down, pack it, stalls in the hall
I’m a little boring in this old-time dance
Take me from a place I used to be
There’s nothing in my heart now, a sharpness to be
Your babelism.

My name is Evan Schafer. I am an indie musician with a strong grounding in traditional composition, but the material always has a unique flair. I guarantee not being bored out of your gourd when turning on one of the records. I produce, mix, and engineer everything myself, and have done so since late 2005. ... more
