Every Time I Die Band • Page 191

Slow day at work. Having enjoyed reading the twitter thread regarding the amazing lyricism of Keith Buckley, what are some of your favorites from him?

Some of mine:

"I gave the world one hell of a time today.
And I don't regret a thing,
except for the time that I got caught givin' it.
I never thought it would take.
I had thick blood and cynical skin.
To where are you supposed to escape,
when the creature is lurking inside of you?"

"God knows I've longed to feel something, but now's not the time.
I'm caught up in the heartless disorder of a Friday night.
Focused on staying distracted until I lose sight,
of the tiresome and clinical patterns of my life.
I will cherish this love for the rest of my night."

"I tripped up at the breakthrough.
I was scared to die.
So the gate locked, the light vanished.
Now where am I?
I was startled by the great height.
I doubted my heart.
Now the wine turns to water. I am coming apart."

"Hell broke loose, the stars unaligned.
I looked for a kingdom that I'd never find.
All I thought I knew was always wrong.
I threw out the map and let go of the reigns.
Lead by a stranger into the strange.
The answer is that there's no answer at all.
Everything's dead, until it's alive.
Man will exist, and then he will die.
Just take the ride."

"Heaven smiles on me now and then.
But the devil always had hooks in."

"Come bail me out of the state I'm in.
The drinks I've had are no match for the truth.
The crowd down here put it's teeth in us.
But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is, so we leave it in.
And we do those things that make us forget that we're dying here.
But we're dying here."

"All I want is for everyone to go to hell.
It's the last place I was seen before I lost myself.
All I want is for everyone to come to hell.
There we can be free and learn to love ourselves."

"First I need to save the life of god.
So that god can come and save me from myself.
If I have to walk alone I'm giving up.
I can't stay here knowing love is not enough."

"The glory I had witnessed was just a sleight of hand.
These hearts cannot be salvaged, these bones cannot withstand.
I have either been forgotten or I was never seen.
Now I'm in the negative space between."

"P.S. - The greatest lovers were murderers first."

 

lets fucking go!!!!!!

 

"I will aimlessly wander this wasteland
Guided only by a sickness, not a purpose
I can't go back to what I was
Metallica without the drugs
A faith healer without the plant
There's no home for a hollow man"

 

I just watched Jordan do an Instagram live because there was a lizard in his office and he needed advice catching it to let it free. He named it Claudio. It made my day.

 

Did he end up catching it??? I got a notification and had to leave the live feed, lol

 

He did! Claudio is now on to a better life!

 

Better be a new song named after Claudio

 

You put a hex on me woman
You're a thinner
You're a thinner
And these are nuclear winters
Atomic black winters
I've kept the fire alive because I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner
Come here and let me boil your blood
I'm a train as long as the track
I am concurrently outbound and just now getting back
They strung me up by a rope as tall as the trees
Though I land on my own two feet I still sway in the breeze

I love when Keith uses oxymorons. The entirety of Typical Miracle is a great example too.

 

Wait, so they are releasing the album in a few months? Or no?

 

I just remembered I never got around to the new Damned Things

 

It's a great time.

 

Did anyone listen to the Age of Quarantine talk? I caught some of it and the only real tid bit I got was Keith doesn’t think they’ll be touring next year, at least not in Australia.

 

I was at that show. Buffalo, $5. Was insane.

 

Tweet was deleted, what was it?

 

Mitch tweeted a pic of the test press.

 

Oh hell yeah

 

someone please steal and leak

 

well,

no

 

Nah that’s not cool. Good to know it seems like they are moving forward though

 

i will still purchase

 

Mitch’s Twitter continues to be the go-to ETID news source.

 

Is that the album title that is blurred out?

 

Some friends of mine (more my girlfriend's than mine tbh) claim to know the title of the album and they are superfans from the Etidiot facebook group so I think it's somewhat reliable. I can share it in spoiler tags if yall want. @joe.boy.fresh. might also know? Not sure though since I'm not in the group anymore.
