A Town Named Nowhere: Volume II

by Crash the Calm

supported by

Krickis Much heavier than Vol I, but carrying the same melodic sound. Requiem in particular is just such an amazing song and well worth the purchase price by itself. I recommend CtC for fans of Cursive and Desaparecidos. Favorite track: The Night That St. Catherine Fell.

1.	The Night That St. Catherine Fell 04:31	lyrics	buy track
We don't smile here We ain't happy We don't have no fears Cause they already happened I'm an afterthought What you gained you lost Cloaked in dogma, manipulate the view Soil fled the earth Chose to block out the sun Fleeting reminders of what Nowhere's become Won't let them grow No I won't let them grow Like the seeds that you sewed In my fragile and hollow bones You broke me, I'm shattered The stain glass on a window That you cannot repair You did it You did it You broke me, I'm shattered The stain glass on a window That you cannot repair Just shatters everywhere I'm a bitter soul Wasn't always though Like the fields that you tilled Now they're loathed When I lost my bride A piece of myself died Now I don't search 'Cause I don't want to find Watch as your friends stop to live in the past See all the families and love that you lack Won't let them grow No I won't let them grow Like the doubt that you sewed In my fragile and hallowed bones You broke me, I'm shattered The stain glass on a window That you cannot repair You did it You did it You broke me, I'm shattered Tear me up, fix me up Nobody cares Tattered from the weather Defeated at last Hearing the crinkle, the crumble of glass Watch as the steeple takes its last breath Watch as the fire covers her with day Why do I keep running from the fire? Why do I keep running from the fire? Why do I keep running from the fire? Why do I keep running from the fire? So why do I keep running from the fire?
2.	Angels (Act 1) 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Young boy, you’ve grown with age You’ve filled with rage You learned to hate all of those things you used to crave You’re so angry, and a bit confused You said you’d take back from the world that which that god has taken from you You burned down the bells You sealed off the well So tell all the angels they better not show I’m not coming home Together forever, forever alone Tell all the angels I’m never coming home So you’ve gone to meet your maker So you’ve gone to meet your maker All alone he plainly waits He was smoking a 27 He said “it’s getting kinda late” All I tried to do was help you And all you did was push away So who am I to judge you? You made your bed and now you’ll lay Now your veins they are so vacant Just like the creek that you bled dry You tried You tried You tried So tell all the angels, they better not show I’m not coming home Together forever, forever alone Tell all the angels I’m never coming home I’m never coming home
3.	Requiem 04:06	lyrics	buy track
Well it caught up You know how many times I look myself in the mirror And say you’re still alive But this cold water never seems to wake me up I’m like a cockroach sneaking under your door Ruining the beautiful decor This illusion to happiness To which you can not obtain So you sit and you pass the blame I just want sleep But your lullaby is haunting me Once brought me peace Now it lingers and it's scaring me I can see where I wanna go Your lullaby’s a resting stone We hide our scars Like they aren’t ours And we vaguely let people see And it’s stupid and pathetic how lovely you were But these memories are covering me I like to think that I don’t reminisce But I’d be lying to myself if I said I never did I just want sleep But your lullaby is haunting me Once brought me peace Now it lingers and it's scaring me I can see where I wanna go Your lullaby’s a resting stone Sink, all alone, resting stones in the bottom of a lake All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake But I’m swimming to the surface now that The waves have parted and the seas have calmed down I know I’ve made mistakes we all have made But this time it’s human I’ve got something at stake I realize now there’s no such thing as fate We all just want to find the ones that we lost along the way So we sit throwing stones in the bottom of a lake All alone, resting stones In the bottom of a – I just want sleep But your lullaby is haunting me Once brought me peace Now it lingers and it's scaring me I can see where I wanna go Your lullaby’s my resting stone

Panorama

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
