We were nothing
You were happening
For some strange reason
You took us under your wing
And booked all of our shows and
Put out our six song demo
But we were young
And we broke up
And blew our chances
Of ever making
it. The thought of
Reuniting
Was far from our minds.
'Til we heard what happened to you
And heard about this show
We had to get together so
We could be here to tell you
How much we love you, Jerry
The Sacramento music scene
Wouldn’t even be a thing
Without you and the many years
Of your blood and sweat and tears
We love you, Jerry
Left, he’s walked out
Leaving pieces of repressed mindsets
When will she be let out?
Pills and a change of style to
Hide a body who’s given to the wrong kind of mind
She’s lost inside herself and she’s gone
And love yourself, but not for me
Well how can I try?
I’m lost inside myself and I’m gone
Faces full of disdain, judging every detail
Why can’t I just be alive without a presence causing grief?
Masked figures hold a pure angels fate
Wailing cries echoed through my mind
Will I live a life, or has my fate been sealed to die?
I’m not erased (x2)
I could see that you’re feeling bad
Your talking to me makes me glad
When you tell me how you feel
You’ve definitely got my prayers
For the deep dark places
Where the sun doesn’t shine
And never shows it’s face again
Though it’s hard to explain
But if you like pleasure
I can tell you that’s what it is
And if you need things to be your way
I can tell you that’s what it is
Now that you’re so far away
I can’t hear a single word you say
When you tell me how you feel
But you’ve definitely got my prayers
For the deep dark places
Where the sun doesn’t shine
And never shows it’s face again
Though it’s hard to explain
But if you like pleasure
I can tell you that’s what it is
And if you need things to be your way
Man, I can tell you that’s what it is
And if you need more than a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’
I can tell you that’s what it is
And if you won’t forgive your brother
I can tell you that’s what it is
100% wide open like a bumped kwikset lock
But closed like a Jewish delicatessen on the Shabbat
Soft like a leaf on a green tree in the spring
But hard like the cold road beneath the snow on the way that’s free
My heart goes out to you
I said my heart goes out to you
It wants to sing a song to you like a 1950’s melody
But ends up laying around, lazy looking at his Facebook feed
It wants to get up so high like an Apollo flight in ’69
But ends up just calling every free moment “me time”
My heart goes out to you
I said my heart goes out to you

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
