You show your face
In the darkest of all places
Burden of mind
You’re the one who speaks through actions
Always with me
You’re a lightning storm of my thoughts
Swimming in my head
Oh who are you?
Well who do you see?
I only see me
You know our face
By the darkness on the inside
Cause you’re always here
You’re the one who can’t let go
Oh who are you?
Well who do you see?
I only see me
I broke a mirror this morning
When evil looked back at me
You’re the black dog I run from
You’re my ever setting sun
You’re my chokehold companion
My never having fun
Oh who are you?
Well who do you see?
I only see me

Flow

You try so hard to be different
In my mind we’re all the same
God only knows what you run from dear
But i’ll show you where we go
Just flow
Could it be that you’re a killer now
In my mind we’re all in pain
God only knows what you run from dear
But i’ll show you where we go
Flow in our direction when you feel it near
Let go and flow
Jesus said don’t ya want to roll with me?
Now he’s dead was it ever mean’t to be?
A strangers bed you love good company
The noise in your head says to flow with me
You want the world to think you’re perfect
In my mind we’re all insane
God only knows what you run from dear
But i’ll show you where we go
Flow in our direction when you feel it near
Let go and flow
Jesus said won’t ya wait for me?
Is he dead or did he never be?
By strangers led at least there’s company
The lies in your head they say to flow with me

Killing Someone

Now, is the time
Time, for hate
Now, is the time
Time, for forgiveness
Now, is the time
Time, to enrich us
Now, is the time
No, time to wait
But there’s no one here left to lead
Those in power fear and let the poor bleed
Those in power always killing someone
Past, the past has gone
Gone, gone forever
Learning from mistakes
Mistakes, that we’re repeating
But there’s no one here left to lead
Those in power fear and let the poor bleed
Those in power always killing someone
Those in power always killing someone
But there’s no one here left to lead
Those in power fear and let the poor bleed
Those in power always killing someone
Those in power always killing someone
Those in power always killing someone

Control

You, you let it in
You went and opened up the door
I, I won’t deny
Curiosity got the best of me
Time, time stops for none
Life’s ticking by for us all
And hatred, I am filled
I am filled with contempt
I can’t tell
Who is foe and who is friend
I just don’t know
Days, days getting long
I wish for a quicker end
My mind, sees only black
Darkness has taken control of me
I can’t tell
Who is foe and who is friend
I just don’t know
You, you let it in
You went and opened up the door
And I won’t deny
Curiosity
I can’t tell
Who is foe and who is friend
I just don’t know

Failed

I was lost the day
I was mean’t to find my way
Inspiration longs
For a better kind of wrong
I’ve got to find my way
Like I failed to do that day
I failed to see the view
I’ve got to make it home
And die alone
In the sun
My colours seem to run
A pale shade of me
Giving into life’s disease
Headlights were strong
I just didn’t turn them on
I’d drive the long way back
But my past erased the track
I’ve got to find my way
Like I failed to do that day
I failed to see the view
I’ve got to make it home
Home
I’ve got to find my way
I failed to see the view
I’ve got to make it home
Home
Alone
Alone and die

As you walk through the valley
As you reap what you’ve sewn
The shadow of death drapes across you
Under the watch of a crow
You never thought that you’d die
Just from telling three lies
You must’ve thought you’d escaped from me
But now you meet your sins
The doctor said he can’t help you
Your friends all laugh and jeer
The shadow of death drapes across you
Feel the tough of your fear
You never thought that you’d die
Just from telling three lies
You must’ve thought you’d escaped from me
But now you meet your sins
Your end won’t come quickly
Your final days you will feel
Your shadow of death draped across you
As my blade cuts right through
You never thought that you’d die
Just from telling three lies
You must’ve thought you’d escaped from me
But now you meet your sins

I Die

It’s in your
Bones and blood
The sadness
That lasts forever
I die
It’s not so much
That I want to die
As that I’m tired
Of living
Thoughts control you
My soul weeps
I breathe
While I drown
I die
It’s not so much
That I want to die
As that I’m tired
Of living
My pillow
Is as good
An ocean
To drown in
I die
It’s not so much
That I want to die
As that I’m tired
Of living
I cloak myself under its enormous weight and breathe it into my lungs
A world of unforgiving disasters in this rotting century of hate
A blank state of mind and a transparent soul
I feel like I’m disappearing
I’m a living corpse of a would be suicide
I fall into the empty spaces between the words
I die

Hymns
by Jack Harlon &The Dead Crows

My favourite installment in the series. Got drawn into Jack's story through The Magnetic Ridge and worked my way backwards. This one just hits the sweet spot between stoner, doom and blues.

Tourist Season
by Planet of the 8s
supported by 53 fans who also own “Into the Empty”
You know when you listen to an album and doesn't do it for you the first time? And then you listen again at a later time and it blows you away? How amazing is that? I 'm stuck on this album for a few days now, thinking "what the hell was I thinking?". Superb songwriting, killer vocal melodies. Jerry Cantrell is listening somewhere on his own and is smiling. Seriously, do not sleep on this album. Give it a spin today!

The Magnetic Ridge
by Jack Harlon &The Dead Crows
supported by 51 fans who also own “Into the Empty”
The psychedelic escapades of mr. Harlon and his flock of dead crows are a new discovery for me, but one of my favourites in the past few years. Dark exploration of the human state, but with a tint of hope and determination.

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music!
