lyrics

THE NIGHT’S DISGUISE

the clouds are holding up the dawn / they're stilts or crutches
I can't tell which one / to keep the short days looking longer
or to keep the sunlight from falling on broken legs / but the
night’s disguise is wearing thin / caught me looking through
your eyes / no I'm not doing alright / I'm just as stupid and
desperate as I've always been / all the uselessness I write
just come at me with a knife / come cut this sickness from my
mind / help me forget about a shattered lie / bleed my failure
into something right / the boss man said there's no more work
this winter / so go on home now and check back in the spring
some dreams turned out to be a nightmare that you can't afford
so it's coming in on a credit card / get yourself all prettied up
my love / come here close let me tie that ironed ribbon / on the
dress I bought you it's the perfect one / for the perfect night
with the perfect woman / but the night’s disguise is wearing thin

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Night's Disguise”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

Analphabetapolothology
by Cap'n Jazz

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Night's Disguise”

Finding these guys in middle school surely helped form my music taste as a whole, and Cap'n Jazz still sound so unique and special to me. So much wonderment, joy, sadness and exploration. I will never get tired of listening to these goofballs squishyfishyfoo
