about

devil on his tail // the broken back of Jesus and the mighty hand of God we turned upon those angels and their blankets in the yard the growing cyst of worship and the lover's public charade we died alone that night as our souls burned on in vain i'll ring a dove with the devil on his tail and we'll spit upon the note that rests upon his bowel fly free little birdie and bleed your tiny soul cos' ol' man sensery will soon just be a ghost but do the gods smile down on our smoky devil ways? or do their tears dry sound on the hopes of what they made? so go numb and die, boys and burn all that you can cos' tomorrow we'll be free and our souls will breathe again // moriartism // we're goin' to the old country lookin' for a place to sleep i don't know where we go when we die lookin' for those empty streets runnin' for that old country i don't know where we go when we die and the rain falls the rain falls down on you we're goin' to the old country lookin' for a place to sleep i don't know where we go when we die longing for heaven but living on stone those who i prayed for have left me alone // drugsoul // your drugsoul where my heart folds we'll meet again someday concrete full of lights they're hanging over our heads and they're glowing through the morning those lines they froze our place in the sun but i still love you through the warnings but that old sun, that sun still shines i'll be home soon i'll be home soon i'll wait for you i'll be home soon the moon in those pretty eyes honey i'll wait for you the moon in those haunted skies honey i'll wait for you your drugsoul where my heart folds we'll meet again someday trees are growing through the street days slide by right below my feet the man said, son, souls sell themselves oh, is that right? how do you know that so well? the peddler on the corner tipped her hat and her thumb she said, you know that the cross always leads to blood the priest said, son, take this shiny gun the only way to fight sin is to kill it when it's young the priests and the sinners and their holy wars one more death and we'll even that score keep an ear to the ground and an eye on your soul the skin and the blood and the omen's roar people banging on about heaven and hell banging on about nothing but themselves // per toro // i'll build you a house you can live in a house that sings a house to grow old in a house to keep i'll build you a house with my own hands a house that speaks a house for my darling a house for me i ride so high i don't know when i'll come down but i just need some time before i go before i sleep i ride so high i don't know when i'll come down but i just need some time before i die before i sleep // empty hearts, empty tanks // so blow out the windows in the hall bury myself deep inside it all too tired to hold on too weary to care i'm gone but my body still remains flood out the houses and the lawns blame it on the state and the gods bury myself deep and float away my grief i'm gone but my body still remains we are looking through the hole that leads to bedlam hearts and empty tanks running dry those ghosts in our heads still sleep with us in our beds we are tryin' but we ain't going nowhere at all but oh we gonna shine through the mornings and the day breaking the line so flood out those houses and the lawns blame it on the state and the gods those ghosts in our heads still sleeping in our beds we are trying but we ain't goin' nowhere at all // big ol' house // i lost my way in a big ol' house and i knew that time couldn't stay i lost my head with no way to heal but my will lead me astray i lost my way in a big ol' house but i will sing for my day oh my love is all i see my love is all i see oh my love is all see but my window has gone away

about

The Moonage Shine Texas

We are a Texas trio crafting some homemade, ambient folk rock.

"A Minimal Plea"

With hands cupped, a lonely shout into the cold, Presidio night.

A simple question hurled into the
black.

Expecting no answer, but asking nonetheless.

Oh, the chill of the modern stings as
the mesquite burns.

These western winds have played architect to our emotions.

This is our humble search for the front.
