The blood it will not dry
The blood it will not dry
So instead we are trained
To just roll our eyes
This is not a call for guilt
It's just a request for respect
The blood may not be on your hands
but we sleep in their beds
We are told not to live in the past
but somethings must not be forgotten
We can outlast, but what's done is cast
and privileges are ill-gotten

I plate it up then wait around
I doubt I will ever even eat this food
The process it made me less hungry
and soon I get distracted
Distorted scale of importance
I live, I live but I do not survive so well
food and sleep are never prioritized by me
Jokes about my tired eyes
My stomach starts to sing
a manic public episode
and then i start to think
is it an inevitability
stemming from my broken head
or have i just not slept and eaten again
So I stay up unable to sleep; i say, but really I'm just reading and typing and communicating with people in a language that i think is flawed.
Next thing I know it gets too late, I think of all I must do the next day and so i opt to stay awake and i start drinking coffee.
Now i know i need to eat so I go into a shop but the food is not appealing and the choice there is a lot. I pace around and panic, buy nothing and leave. I tell my friends I've eaten when they ask me.

Your house filled with gone off food
so rarely touched be me or you
a meal is just a snack in bed
in your house only the cat is fed

To Speak EP
by Chrissy Barnacle
Chrissy is one of the best songwriters in the UK and a crushingly great live act. Both sad and witty, Chrissy is both an accomplished lyricist and a wildly creative guitarist.

Sword Songs
by Two Steps on the Water
We toured with June from two steps on the water in Australia and where really blown away by her voice and presence. Since then we've both been obsessed with this album. It's very special.

Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker
supported by 132 fans who also own “Shameless Money Grab”
I first listened through this a couple years ago, and I don't know why I hadn't bought it until now. Regardless, I think everyone should listen through this in its entirety at least once, the best way I can describe it is beautifully haunting. I'm sure my favorite track will keep changing forever, too.

Probably Nothing, Possibly Everything
by Pat The Bunny
supported by 97 fans who also own “Shameless Money Grab”
I don't think anything I write here will do justice to the artist who commited to this. It feels like he lets his heart open up to you with vulnerability and colours of sorrow, confusion, frustration and hope. All at once. And it's genuine. What does it all mean? Read the title. It all falls down in place and it's truly great.
