Jamie (Audio Antihero) Probably my favourite overall from Joey Walker's very interesting catalogue. "Death Dimension" is one not on here that's so worth hearing though.

sirarthur This is a record I seem to have found at the perfect time in my life. It blends so many emotions with consistent melody, heartbreak and empowerment.
luv you Joey Favorite track: On Top.

Frank 04:37
“I was… grew up down south in Tennessee and I had to drop out of school… I went about 6 months freshman year… my mother got sick, and then I had two brothers and a sister under me and I had to… you know, get their clothes, I had to do all the housework and things like that so… I didn’t get an education… just a… education on hard knocks and bad weather…” If you go alone Down by the lake and the riverflow If you go alone Once you go you’ll never make it home If you go alone You’ll catch your death before you even know If you go alone Down by the lake and the riverflow Don’t you say a word Someone awaits with bated breath Don’t you say a word You can’t let a thing slip by your tongue Don’t you say a word Anything could happen if you say it loud Don’t you say a word Someone awaits with bated breath You may never know The meaning behind all these words You may never know If what you feel is hot or cold You may never know How far the knife went in your skull You may never know What lies beyond the open door

Crater 03:22
I am acne-ridden But will you fuck me from behind A detestable mutant A war has ravaged all my Body A countryside lain to ruin Body A castle vaporized to ashes Body Something’s missing from the surface Body A crater in the hollow of the mind Pin me down while you still can Cause i’ve forgotten my own name Strip me down to nothingness The only hole that’s left Inside me A countryside burned to pieces Inside me A castle vaporized to ash Inside me nothing missing from the void Inside me A crater where my mind used to be A crater where I used to be

When I saw the light, wasn’t as lost as I was before When I saw your eyes, wasn’t as lost as I was before The grittiness of carpet, comforting as I hit it The bitterness in sweetness, buried hands in chocolate I don’t wanna die tonight, but I don’t wanna lie by your side I don’t wanna die tonight, but I don’t wanna lie by your side When I felt your size, I knew there was no place for me When I felt you rise, I knew there was no place for me The emptiness in moonlight, bask in the bloodbath The completeness of words, under ice can’t hear it I don’t wanna die tonight, but I don’t wanna lie by your side I don’t wanna die tonight, but I don’t wanna lie by your side When I saw the light

Hollow 05:11
I became too soft to live Body bruised like a beacon of abuse If I long for you Does that make me an idiot too I became too mad to understand I write my notes on the backs of my hands When I can’t name anything Does that make me lonely like you I became too numb to make a sound Like a house when I burn to the ground Though I tower taller than before Does that make me hollow as well

On Top 06:29
He always wanted to be on top—a higher cliff to see from The bodies felt better from below, yet his view was outstanding It was a way to pass each day—to ride and tame an animal A boring life resigned to the bed, he’d live with men and cobwebs He also got it on his knees—they treated him like a dog for it He’d flash them his big white teeth, though he hated every second He’d lay awake on sleepless nights—the next one at his doorstep They came and left him with a moan, then he’d scream his lungs out Desire killed him So badly burned him It fucking kills him Desire kills him He lays on the chest of a man—a forest he could burn down Kerosene flows through his mouth, the forest is burning now He always needed to be on top—a higher cliff to fall from The bodies crushed on rocks below, his view is nothing / outstanding

Desolator 04:23
I’ve always wanted this And I thank you for it Everything you’ve done Has been correct I became too soft to live And I sing this for them For everyone that you Have ever held Never seek the truth Beat it out of you Never never never Want it back Come rescue me from death As I lay to rest The desolator has Brought me to the edge Close my eyes with your hands As I fall down again Cradle me in your arms We’re done, we’re dead It’s happening again

Make one wish Throw it down the well To be free From this body Can’t you see This was meant for me Let me rest In this sunken bed My flesh isn’t that original Though I don’t know any other one Over the moon In ecstasy of dishonesty Yes, I am very sure Leave me for dead In the water I'm homosexually positive about this Well you don’t really know me Never live for any man I need to hold my soul down Live a little less If I seem A little baffling I would say I’m so sorry But go down there Where light goes granite gray Maybe you’ll get me The monster in the well

If you go alone Down by the lake and the riverflow If you go alone Once you go you’ll never make it home If you go alone You’ll catch your death before you even know If you go alone Down by the lake and the riverflow Don’t you say a word Someone awaits with bated breath Don’t you say a word You can’t let a thing slip by your tongue Don’t you say a word Anything could happen if you say it loud Don’t you say a word Someone awaits with bated breath You may never know The meaning behind all these words You may never know If what you feel is hot or cold You may never know How far the knife went in your skull You may never know What lies beyond the open door
