There's no hope
As I sling this rope
You pray
Chair kicked away
There's no plan
But this gun in hand
The shroud
Enters the crowd
Time to play
And you expected to leave
To make your way homeward
Where you wash the lipstick off your face
It's just a night on the town
We are the new headliners
And here's the last encore
Nobody left on the dance floor
Except you and you
You and you
There's no war
Some boys keeping score
The game
Changes its name
To something far more obscure
So am I ready to die
To make my way skyward
Where heaven waits
And the lust frustrates
The lust frustrates
But I'll be wearing a crown
We are the new definers
Of every future word
We are the judge and the jury
And executioner
I'm the one letting y'all leave here
Except you and you
You and you
You and you
And you, too

Boring art
Hopeless from the start
Dumb won't admit
That's not who you are
Hoary tales
Everybody fails
Drunk went to bed
And woke up on the scales
Woke up on the scales
Woke up on the scales
Woke up on the scales

Something happened - I can't explain
I fell beneath the floor - now I don't speak no more
Arms extending - don't be frightened - befriend them
I can watch you from afar - to make sure they do no harm
And it makes me feel alive
As you brave the world inside
Open heartbreak - that I can't stay awake
The darkness burns away as we spin toward the day
My hope will linger on even though I'll soon be gone
And it makes me feel so proud
As you push above the ground
There's a garden full of life to share
You can't see it but it's there
I can feel you out of reach
As I'm twisting down the slide
I'm not hanging on
Because I taught all I could teach
When I held you by my side
I can feel it exit me
All the moments of my life
There's no pain at all
Take the air that I won't breath
At the moment when I die
In you my light will shine

Bodies Floating Ashore Oakland, California
Music by Matt Lebofsky (of miRthkon, MoeTar, Secret Chiefs 3, Monstrika, Faun Fables, Mumble & Peg, Midline Errors...)
Bodies Floating Ashore recommends:
Usually filed under RIO (Rock in Opposition) and avant whatever, but don't fear it's simply just heavily scored chamber music for rock band.

Midline Errors
by Midline Errors
Ancient precursor to Bodies Floating Ashore. Contains a lot more electric guitars and drums.
go to album
A recent collection, among several, drawn from the well that is far more eclectic, unpredictable, and mysterious.

Matt Lebofsky is a multi-instrumentalist and composer of abounding creativity, who's steadily pushing the limits of rock music. Besides his extensive solo activity, he also appears in some other highly recommendable projects, like "miRthkon", "Bodies Floating Ashore", "Fuzzy Cousins", and "Mumble & Peg", just to name a few of my favorites. After listening to one of his albums, you can never excpect that the next one will sound the same. Always be prepared for jaw-dropping surprises!
