Spin Fruit Spiraling

If everything’s subjective the objective is lost
And we never mention value only question the cost
We only wait for our turns to talk as I’m driving you around

So we had our little falling out
And I was finally proven right in all of my doubt
I don’t know shit about anything at all
Neither do you, so who is at fault?

But it’s me with the knife on a whiskey drunk night
You were taking a flight to make everything right
How I roamed the streets with a sense of defeat
Cursing the fact that we ever had to meet

So I’m riding in the back of the ambulance
With a man who’s grown accustomed to the sight of death
I ask him what he feels about women and heartache
He says, “son never let let anything change your fate.”

And on the way to the hospital I started thinking of you just a little
Do you think I’d learn my lesson? Oh, never never
No, I am fashionably disheveled and I’ll love you forever

You say you’re getting better, well that’s good to know
I just wish all those improvements would start to show
You look like an empty shell baby, you look dead as fucking hell baby
You got your fairy dust so just fly away
May you never steal another dollar fuck or day or smile or meal from me
Oh, this cursed digression
What I need is an answer
Or a friend
Or a feeling
In the end what I need is a tract of land far from this mire
I’d be unlike many others and eliminate desire
But I won’t, no I won’t

You were the apple of my eye
Spinning spiraling and rotting
Core exposed
Seeds that just won’t grow
And as the days the create
Drip away like lemonade
The memories tear us from our sleep
Lying in this bed we unmade
With an overwhelming need to fade
I’m telling you it’s sick
I’m telling you it’s wrong
Laying in the gutter is where I belong

about

Jesse Jay Allen Tacoma, Washington

From Metropulse.com

On Dearest Echo, Allen matches thick, ambient guitar and synthesizer with Britpop melodies for an approximation of Radiohead, or Wilco at its most expansive. Allen’s solid voice has a forlorn quality that works with the music’s depressive tone. ... more
