i want to change my face destroy this body, build something new in its place i want to be okay it's a hard fought path, it's the right way so where did you go, my most beautiful friend? i don't know that it mattered in the end tell me the truth, it's a beautiful fiction talk to myself and i start to get sickened when i finally realize there's no answer tell me the truth, it's a beautiful fiction talk to myself and complain of my diction and the forgery spreads over me like cancer i want a lover who looks like me i want a lover who is what i want to be perfect moments, shattered glass born unreal, but i can pass in the mirror, as i planned see myself, you will never understand tell me the truth, it's a beautiful fiction talk to myself and i start to get sickened when i finally realize there's no answer tell me the truth, it's a beautiful fiction talk to myself and complain of my diction and the forgery spreads over me like cancer

he never thought it would end this way but god sent him a vision on the last day of may he saw that his faith would be put to the test he got on a train and it carried him west she never thought she'd survive the year her brother's face was streaked with tears she could hardly bear to leave him behind but she had to get out so she put it out of her mind they gave up the vices that tore them apart they cut loose the ties that bound up their hearts it was the turn of the season, a chill in the air a call had gone out and they began to gather there your postcard came in from wherever you'd been independence, missouri; original sin unoriginal sinner, me in a word but you're hanging in there, at least, that's what i heard

about

"As his physical transformations began to overshadow his life as a musician, Jackson's now-famous mask of white skin and red lips...would come to be read as the most arresting change in the man who said no to life but yes to pop."
--Hilton Als, "Michael"

"...in the summer of 1831, the Lord revealed to Joseph...that northwestern Missouri was among the earth's holiest places: the Garden of Eden had not been located in the Middle East, as many believed, but rather in Jackson County, Missouri, near what, by the nineteenth century, had become the city of Independence."
--Jon Krakauer, Under the Banner of Heaven

for more of the darkbop music you crave, stay tuned for "katya and arkady," to be released in the second half of 2015.
